Debut or Die
Insanely goated. Like holy shit. This comic barely crossed my mind, but I randomly thought to check it out one random ass evening. Almost didn’t make it after the first three chapters because my attention span is cooked, but I have no regrets whatsoever now that I’ve taken the time to catch up. This review will be tweaked in the future, but here is where I’m at mentally now that I’m waiting for season 3. - I cried. Deadass. I didn’t think I would for this in my life, but there I was sobbing over a scene that barely lasted two chapters. Seeing Moondae break down and falter in the face of his scandal, seeing his persona crack and shatter as he’s faced with the possibility of dropping out of the show (dying), was something so Impactful to me. The hurt, anger, and outburst and retelling of his past put me on an edge I never felt. It was anxiety. Anxiety over a scene I knew would be resolved, but anxiety nonetheless. Deep down I know why I felt so impacted, and it’s because I can’t imagine having to face that. To crumble over so bad, others contributed to putting it back together. His worries were justified, and his feelings were understood. Insane impact frame, the art put me in awe and definitely conveyed the right expressions. The characters are so love able I couldn’t help but root for them all and hope for a great lineup in the end. Only disappointment (and slight heartbreak) was not seeing Gold 1 (lol) debut. He was always there. And his acceptance of defeat just made it even more difficult to digest. Bless him oh my god. I cannot wait to see what’s next. Genuinely. The possibility of me picking up the novel is very low considering there’s not enough translation, but it’s there. Maybe I’ll wait. I’m super excited. And if it takes a year for another season, just re read this series. For the love of god, revisit it. I loved it, and you will love it again.
