This was unsatisfying! The story had lots of potential but now after reading all the chapters, it just felt empty and hollow. The character building up was nicely coming along but the ending is open with lots of possibilities and in order to keep the readers satisfied and some situations should have been shown in the story-line instead of just being mentioned; like for example Sangwoo's feelings. I was expecting more and I'm disappointed. With a few more chapters this would have turned into a gem. It was too rushed after the part of three years having passed.

My review after reading the whole manhua. *SPOILERS* When I started reading this to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I don't understand why his father did what he did; the only thing that came close to that denial his father had was because he would lose the child of his deceased wife and he wanted to at least have something of her. That's why in his drunken state his father tried to make a move on him, because he wasn't really his father but he loved him as the son he never had and as the child of his wife. His father dying took me by surprise but it was a good spin to the story-line, though the ending (last two chapters) felt rushed. I would have liked to see a bit more about the couple, not much but his marriage with that woman his father wanted him to marry and how well Arwin could cope with loving a man who had a wife. Three scenes in this manga pulled at my heart strings. First was when Anton saw his father having sex with Arwin and the second was when he saw Arwin having sex with other men. The scene where I actually cried was when they were about to commit suicide from the hospital. Thank God they didn't. Thank God Arwin was selfish and saved them both.

When I started reading this, I didn't know what I was getting into. The title seemed interesting; something that screamed twisted characters so I took a chance with it. The ending what unexpected. I wasn't thinking his mother might have died. I thought more of the possibility of his step-father dying and him realizing he loved him, so that kind of ending was an unexpected but very good twist of events. Well, the good guy did turn into a crazy murderer but Kyunghee meeting him while he was in prison brought closure to that part of the story.
