Killing Stalking

Complete | koogi | 2016 released

Honestly I’m… speechless. This was really really good. Props to the author. The art is amazing as well and really sets the mood. The two main characters, one looks disheveled, tiny and like a starved child (even though he’s the older one) and the other is tall, built and handsome. There are ‘romantic’ parts but because of the context, as well as their extremely different appearances, it’s still very uncomfortable. Which I think was done purposefully, as it adds to the twisted feeling of this story. Your humanity will make you feel bad for both characters at times, and even makes you wish they could have a normal romantic relationship. But their relationship is far from normal, and even in the end it’s hard to say for sure what they felt for each other. Was it truly love? Especially on Sangwoos end. Or was it solely just twisted? I loved every minute of this because of the discomfort and conflicting feelings, which is exactly why the author did so well with this.

Honestly, loved it. It’s def toxic asf and I wish there was a bit more development away from that into a healthy relationship but oh well, still fire!

Started off good but it started lacking towards the end. Twisted/psychological forsure, but also romance. I didn’t like the ending, both characters got left by everyone they love except each other and then seemingly have 0 problem with it? One character didn’t care to see his son? The other had literally 3 siblings that were kids and was cool with them moving to the states with a new family? lol. Wtf.

A little boring, slow and lengthy, but it was okay. Nothing really too captivating, but it wasn’t bad.

Even If You Don't Love Me

Complete | Pando | 2000 released

Good, dynamic story. I really likes the art too and the graphic details. I am warning that there’s gangr*pe, domestic violence, drug use/needles, and some a few gory scenes. The only reason I’m not giving 5* is because there were a lot of loose ends that didn’t get tied up. A lot of pretty much all characters besides the 3 MCs didn’t get any sort of conclusion/wrap up in the story. TBH there were just too many characters that were mentioned throughout but didn’t have any (or very few) features in the story (like Seung-Eons brother, father, sister). Also didnt make sense that Seung-Eon fiancée, the heir to the largest media giant in the country ended up being the one celeb mentioned in the media as a guest at the club. lol, makes no sense. That insignificant report would’ve been covered up without having to lift a finger. TBH it would’ve made more sense, and made it more interesting, if Hyung-Seok roped her into helping him kidnap Jiwon (such as setting up a meeting with Seung-Eon to make sure he's out of the way during the kidnapping, etc). Anyways. I could go on. But hey, I still liked it, I just think the writer bit off more than they could chew and should've fleshed out some characters/details to ensure everything was seen through).
