➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ok so i didnt expect the plot to stick to solving one case for the entirety of it, but its ok i still really liked it !! i just wished we could see more cases afterwards bc the first volume was so interesting hehe <33 i think we could already see some slight developments of the couple's feelings from the first book and their feelings grew more in here which is nice ^^ i just wished we could see more of them bc they only got together towards the end >< but nonetheless, i was still very satisfied bc the extras gave us some sweet and wholesome moments ♡ the pace and development was nice :D i could really see how they both cared for each other, esp kuroiwa, even though hes emotionless most of the time we can really see how much he cares for asako the author did a really great job at making everyone suspicious, i really thought that nishi was the one who killed mari but to our surprise there was a much deeper plot and it all made sense in the end which felt so satisfying the plot and art style are just amazing <3 i dont really have anything else to say ~ even though i already knew the plot twists and stuff, this is still a book that i would gladly reread bc i really enjoyed every single bit of it ^^ i wish there was more stories like this, not only is it thrilling but it's also sweet bc of the romance >< i wanted to see more of them as an established couple but the extras were able to satisfy me hehe so i'm fine overall i really really enjoyed this !!! would recommend this to true crime enthusiasts ~ another worth it read i loved it a lot

this is by far gonna be one of my all time fave manga wow this needs a higher rating omfg !! everything abt the plot and the progression is *chef's kiss* the character development of both MCs and everything in between is just perfection ㅠㅠ i couldn't have asked for more :')) maybe a wedding in europe scene would be a nice addition hihi ^^ but other than that this was a masterpiece ❣️ i didn't expect the plot to go so deep and have that angst, i legit teared up~ i really felt the characters emotions ^^ aki is such a nice and caring person despite his smug and stern appearance >< i love how he treasures and takes care of minagi aki's character development was so good !! i mean both aki and minagi's character development was shown and written perfectly minagi's personality is so adorable :'< hes such a puppy <3 he has a big heart and genuinely wants to help people which is why he dreamed of being a doctor ㅠㅠ he also never bragged about his wealth and intelligence >< i love them both so much they're such kind souls that were made for each other ♡ i also love sasara omg hes the best wingman to have !! he was a good mediator and bridge between the two hihi >< i just love everyone in this manga (╥﹏╥) the progression and development of their feelings was very evident i mean the domesticity when minagi lived with aki pls i'm jealous ( ´~｀) i'm glad that minagi also realized for himself that he wasn't just doing those things to atone for aki's injury but bc he also had feelings for aki~ idk what else to say other than i'm happy for yhe both of them esp now that minagi pursued his dream and became a doctor, and aki's salon is also gaining traction ^^ i'm glad that they finally get the happy ending that they deserve <33 overall this was such an amazing and heart gripping read !! i was really sucked into it~ despite the plot being angsty, there wasnt any unnecessary conflict which i love ♡ again this will be an all time fave of mine >< wishing for a europe wedding to happen the art style is amazing too literally everyone is gorgeous af !! this was such a worth it read !! definitely a gem

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ its been a while since i've read a completed manhwa in (technically) one sitting and i have my mouth wide open bc this was so freaking good !! i'm not really into this type of dynamic but omfg i feel in love with them >< the plot was unique since i've never encountered anything like this before !! it had the amount of drama and angst along with a bit of sweetness~ i really love yeonjin's inner monologues esp when hes describing the feelings he has for munhyeok ^^ its so deep and poetic i really felt it :> the pacing was really nice even though this only had 63 chapters which is pretty short esp with a plot like this that has a lot of drama involved, i really got to see their development and the story didn't feel unfinished ^^ there were some plot holes or maybe i should say unclear parts like what was the real reason jeong mu killed wu cha gang bc as far as i'm concerned it looks like he was also fucking yeonjin's dad and even says that hes much better than wu cha gang so idk why he would need to go to such lengths when he himself said those things and i could also see some hints of feelings involved between the two~ the next thing that was unclear to me was abt kang seohyuk, they never really gave us an elaborate explanation as to why he "betrayed" wu cha gang ?? (idk if i missed it or not) munhyeok hated him since the beginning and they wanted to k!ll him i think ?? but they suddenly just become friends towards the end ???? yea that bit was kind of confusing but maybe i'm the problem since i read this at midnight so my brain was probably not processing things well anyway so for their dynamic, it wasn't as toxic as i expected ^^ there wasn't any strings attached at the beginning and they had an agreement so ig it was okay ^^ they're not toxic in a way that one person is abusing another but its more of their set-up thats kind of toxic ?? iykyk lol overall i liked this A LOT !! like i never expected to have my emotions be played around ksjdskjdkd its so good ㅠㅠ the ending felt bittersweet in a way ^^ i'm glad that they didn't rush them into meeting again once munhyeok got out of prison bc it added more angst, and it also made me feel that they're really inlove with each other even after 8 years of being separated >< i have a lot more to say but i think this is getting too long but yea i'm happy with the timeskip, i'm glad we also got to see that the kids along with moran were doing well <3 i'm happy that both of them got the freedom and happiness they deserved ♡ i really love the ending panel, it had so much emotion and i just love them so much they deserve to be happy :(( i really want to say more but i'm ending this here just know that this is really a worth it read !! this is a masterpiece the art style is also very pretty and detailed ❣️ this was an amazing read !!

haven't read a manhwa in a while and wow i'm so glad i waited for this to be finished bc i'm so in love with this aaaa i love how this had everything that i like >< i love the action, mystery, childhood friends, and their comedic dynamic i'm just going to give a brief review here since this is a story that has some elements of surprises within so i'll leave that for y'all to see~ but i just want to point out how hanhoo is a red and green flag at the same time hsksjsjjd he's the type of red flag i can't get mad at he's violent, possessive, narcissistic, stubborn, etc. but not when it comes to chansol ^^ i mean there are times that he has the tendencies but his violence or red flags aren't directed to chansol (idk how to explain it but he does those things in order to protect chansol) not excusing him for his red flags but i mean i love the guy he's charismatic HAHA anyway as for chansol, we love a strong MC :D i love his personality and how he handles hanhoo well ^^ i've never laughed this much while reading a manhwa in a while >< i genuinely love their humour esp their cute when they bicker with each other :> i wanna mention other characters but i'll just keep it short, i love colette, myung, herman, mateo, perro, and all the other office friends chansol made ^^ they're really nice <3 i didn't expect herman to be a laid back uncle (i thought he was gonna more strict and become like slight antagonist but nah he's just a worrisome uncle because of his two crazy nephews overall i love the plot so much !! i've never encountered a story similar to this one esp with the arms company thing, it had a very unique concept and the way the story unfolds is smooth~ there were time na i kind of anticipated it but i mean ig its just bc i've read too much mystery type of stories that i already become suspicious and expect the craziest things but i swear the ending and the surprises still caught me off guard !! the author really did a good job at making the story flow well~ ❣️ its so well-made i love this so much >< i just hoped we got to see more of them after being officially together but the last chapters were pretty cute ^^ also i love their lines esp when hanhoo confessed PLEASE i still cry over that ㅠㅠ its one of my fave quotes now :(( thats probably why i can't hate the guy, he's a sweet guy jsjsjjdjd idk what else to say but this is a masterpiece !! can't wait to see more works from this artist ^^ i'll also reread this when i get the free time bc i really got hooked since the very beginning and there weren't any boring parts the art style is so so pretty too !! this is my cup of tea this is a gem !! i really enjoyed this one, very read worthy

this was a cute one ^^ there was a bit of angst but it was mostly fluff and slow burn :> i like slow burns so i enjoyed seeing their feelings bloom for each other >< their relationship is just so pure and adorable~ i'm glad that kou can finally move on and be happy with saki >< misumi seems like a nice guy too, its very unfortunate to lose him but i'm glad kou at least got some closure from the diary :(( misumi's gf wasn't the red flag type and she understood their situation which is so mature of her ^^ overall this was a pretty good one~ its been a long time since i've read something in the middle (vibe wise) just the right amount of angst and wholesome~ i wish we got to see more of their college life and just them dating but i'm pretty satisfied with just seeing them happy so hehe <33 this needs a higher rating bc this had a good plot and the characters were really nice~ the art style's pretty too this was a good read !!

this wasn't my cup of tea, i'm not really into the fwb to lovers trope but i did think that they're cute though there were more smut scenes than the emotional ones so i didn't get to feel the pain/emotion that much and the plot was a bit confusing and all over the place like i know its for comedic purposes but i was quite confused at what's happening all throughout~ also what's with bl plots that have their MCs fall inlove with their siblings ???? i don't get it tbh like there's a lot of people that they can like, i'm not really into the MC liking ML's sister but thats much better than liking your own sister please ㅠㅠ overall it was meh, there were parts that i liked and some parts where its just absurd and confusing but i love amnesia tropes i just think that the emotions here weren't executed well :< i'm glad that fuji fell inlove with kotou again but the fact that his memories from two years ago still hasn't come back is just sad :(( but at least they're happy which is all that matters ^^ the art style is pretty !! this was an okay read !! :>

i'm literally bawling this was so fucking good !! ㅠㅠ kengo is the bestest boy to ever exist :(( thank you for being there for yoshioka :'> this had a melancholic vibe all throughout reading it but when it came to the end please my heart became so warm bc of how wholesome that time skip was :'(( its like everything that happened was for a reason, their relationship feels like destiny (´ω`) kengo got his shoulder injured so he had to go to his uncle's music room since he doesn't have practice anymore and then he encounters yoshioka ㅠㅠ they met when they were both broken but after spending time with each other, they slowly healed one another's pain (╥﹏╥) no one talk to me they are so precious i feel like i'll really write a long ass review for this bc of how good it was so bear with me so let's first talk abt the plot ^^ the plot was your typical boys school plot but it had more depth bc both the MCs were going through something and i just think their dynamic is quite unique since as mentioned in the story, they are coming from different worlds since yoshioka was a keep to yourseld guy while kengo was the popular and outgoing athlete~ idk what else to say but the author did a really great job at portraying their pain and really showing how both of them are healing at a nice pace !! the flow from start to finish is chef's kiss （´～｀) ♡ now abt the characters, i'll first point out how nice kengo's uncle is !! i love how he didn't disclose anything abt yoshioka on his own ^^ he didn't tell kengo abt anything abt his past which is very mature and kind of him bc he respected yoshioka's privacy :)) also some comments were saying that he didn't do enough but immediately after he saw the horrible act they were doing to yoshioka, he got all the bullies expelled !! and imo that's the only thing he could do bc he was just a music teacher at this school and that's very commendable on his part >< if yall are talking abt why they weren't put to jail or something, that's bc they were still minors so of course they wouldn't be punished which is unfortunate esp now that we know after those things, yoshioka was abused once more and it was much worse :(( but kengo's uncle can't do anything abt that bc yoshioka never told anyone in the first place :< anyway moving on to kengo ^^ HELLO CAN YOU PLEASE BE REAL !!! we all need a kengo irl :(( wtf he's the kindest, most understanding, adorable, sweet, caring, etc. ML i've ever seen ㅠㅠ i love how even before he liked yoshioka, he was already treating him so well and he even bought him chocolates bc he knows yoshioka likes sweets :'D i love how he didn't pull through with that kiss with yoshioka bc he knows that it might bring back trauma and he might've been shocked abt it !! i love how he always asked consent for everything bc he knows that yoshioka is still dealing with his trauma !! i love how he offered to stay with yoshioka everytime just for him to attend class !! i love how he still went to the music room despite being allowed to go back and play baseball !! UGHHHH i still have a lot to say abt what i love abt him but let's just appreciate this man for making our precious yoshioka happy :'(( he did well in over writing yoshioka's past trauma ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ and we can see how much yoshioka opened up to him bc of how different he acts when he's alone with him >< esp on the extra story pls !!! i love how yoshioka's able to whine and express his feelings freely <33 thank u kengo !! as for yoshioka, i'm so happy for this babie ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that he's finally free from his trauma and he can be himself with kengo >< i'm glad that he's able to move forward and now he's living with the love of his life ^^ he was also the reason for kengo to heal from his emotional pain from baseball so thank u yoshioka !! i'm really sorry that you had to go through that alone but i'm glad that finally kengo's there to protect and love you for the rest of his life o(╥﹏╥)♡ about that rapist WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ???????? rot in hell omfg i'm so mad what he said and did are so disgusting and the fact that he didn't felt ashamed or remorseful disgusts me D:< i want him to go to jail i just want to mention how glad i am that kengo punched the wall instead of that guy bc even though he did deserve the punch, kengo would've stooped in the abuser's level so i'm glad he controlled himself :)) overall THIS WAS AMAZING !!!! A MASTERPIECE I TELL YOU this deserves a higher rating bc this made me feel a lot of things it was a rollercoaster ride but i love how the couple were wholesome and adorable all throughout despite the angst and pain in the background ^^ i also loved kengo's friends pls !!! they're so funny and nice i'm glad they made yoshioma comfortable to come to class again >< i already mentioned the time skip multiple times but i just didn't expect that ㅠㅠ i literally cried just seeing them domestic even for a slight second :')) i love how different yoshioka was acting, he seemed to be more open bc he was never the type to whine even though they already had feelings for each other ^^ so seeing them act like how normal couples do is so wholesome i literally sobbed i wish we got to see more though !!!!! but i was pretty satisfied bc i got to see them living happily together and that's all that matters ㅠㅠ i also want to briefly mention that i love how the author made yoshioka say "i love you" towards the end >< it just made it more impactful and genuine bc kengo waited for that reply for a very long time ^^ it was like a sign that yoshioka has finally moved forward and put his past behind :'> i can't get enough of this i'm sorry i rambled on for too long ㅠㅠ the art style is very very pretty as well !! i love classic mangas this was a masterpiece and i'll for sure go back and cry again once i reread this definitely a "would recommend" work !!

omfg idek what to say PLEASE I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THIS ㅠㅠ it was so freaking good :')) my emotions went on a rollercoaster ride bc of how intense this was it had everything from supernatural to wholesome to more drama and angst :'DD but don't worry it ends really well !! might be one of my favorite endings (╥﹏╥) i just want to scream and rant about dohui PLEASEEEE this man needs to get more appreciation !!!! i must admit it was very red flag of him to make that deal with the ghosts but i mean the man was in love and we all know what love does to you :'> but the important thing is he atoned for his sins by protecting seongjae from all harm, staying with him until his last breath, waiting for him to get reincarnated for more than 2000 years LET ME REPEAT THAT 2000 YEARS (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `), after that he waited for another 20 years and finally he got to hold seongjae in his arms :')) like i can't stop thinking abt how hard that must've been, to see the love of your life die and to wait for him for hundreds of centuries until he gets reincarnated + he didn't remember their old memories :'< i think that was enough punishment for what he had done in the past and i really commend him for that >< he's up there in my green flag list, literally raised my standards for everyone :'> i have a lot more to say esp with how he treats seongjae, the little things he does for him ㅠㅠ he always pays attention to the smallest details and he always prioritizes him above everything, even his own life i can write a whole ass essay abt dohui but imma just keep it in my heart :DD i admire their relationship, the mutual pining in the beginning was a bit frustrating bc of course i just wanted them to confess to each other but it had the right pacing so i had no problems with that ^^ they had great communication and there wasn't any misunderstanding, drama whatsoever between their relationship which is why i'm just obsessed with what they have >< seongjae is a ball of sunshine, very precious and i just love him :(( they both care for each other and you can really feel how much they love and treasure each other ㅠㅠ tbh i have a lot more to rant abt their relationship but i still have more to talk about so i'll be moving on to the next couple hehe~ so for sooyeon and beom, tbh their relationship from the historical era was not that appealing for me bc i'm not into that kind of dynamic esp with its incestuous side to it, but i still did get attached to them esp when sooyeon was already a ghost and all :> their modern relationship was still a bit disturbing bc they did have an age gap and they were yet again siblings but the difference is that beom was adopted so they were not really related and he also went to the states to study so they didn't grow up together but idk something abt step siblings and age gaps makes it kind of disturbing for me esp when they're both present in one relationship but i still liked their story so it was fine :)) lastly, the king and joohwan, tbh i wanted them to end up together but i think the king deserved that treatment bc he took joohwan for granted :(( i think that's the punishment that he'll be going through for the rest of his ghost life lol but i mean maybe modern joohwan would end up getting feelings for him at some point we'll never know~ but i do like their dynamic, they have a fun and chaotic dynamic i love it overall this was such an amazing read !! literally in love with everyone and their stories <33 i absolutely love the ending for all couples esp with our main couple of course >< dohui deserved that so much esp with how much he had gone through ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that he won't experience seeing seongjae die before his eyes knowing he can't go with him afterwarda :')) i'm legit just so happy for them bc they can finally rest and live happily without any ghosts bothering them (´ω`) i also love the new king of the underworld >< he's very classy and kind ^^ i also love how sang-il was a part of the gang and how he also got reincarnated as seongjae's best friend (╥﹏╥) ugh idk what more to say, this was a masterpiece !! <33 definitely worth to binge ^0^ the art style is immaculate !! every single one of them are gorgeous i'm obsessed and in love with all of them this was such a worth it read !! i also recommended this to my friends and even ranted abt it on twitter bc they deserve the recognition ❣️
