Keeper of the Pearl

Complete | Dorook | 2019 released

This was a moving and engaging manhwa! The fluff was sooo on point almost every fucken time! Brought me to tears and made me cry so hard. A love like jiyeong and jaemoon transcends time indeed. The angst and their history is so sad and tragic! I love the happy ending and the beautiful babies they have later on. I hope kang makes it work with Ryan. It’s such an interesting part of the story too. The sex is smutty and pretty intense as well. I love that there’s no forced crap! A wholesome read through and through despite the tragedies and grief.

Lies like Lies

Complete | Jirak,Taesung | 2019 released

A good psychological manhwa that gives you the chills, excites you, terrifies you and breaks your heart. That first chapter and prologue was so powerful. The psychological aspects were pretty damn strong. Both taejoon and hansyuk are pretty damn powerful characters. The childhood tragedy still haunts me so much. It would have been an incredible piece if hansyuk had more depth explained. Taejoon is a very powerfully depicted character for sure! The chief, kang and other side characters were pretty solid as well. A good read overall!

Sun's Blood

Complete | Yang seonghyeon,Sailor man | 2000 released

interesting, horrifying, dark and suspenseful, this manhwa takes you on a wild journey. the art is gorgeous, the character designs are pretty amazing! the first chapter itself makes such a lasting impression. Father gabriel is a very intricate character with different levels. he becomes much truer to himself as the story progresses. He fights his situation, strengthens his will, is patient, determined, fearless and so brave! it is also so sorrowful how his love for sailou is used against him by the vampire and how it becomes a theme for him. Later on it is truly impressive how him and sailou find each other, take on fate and wager to battle and win! sailou for his part is absolutely gorgeous! he is strong, resourceful, brave, impulsive at times and strong as heck. The way he deals with gabriel and takes charge of their destinies is so impressive. I love their courage when they fight and finally win the good fight. Pablo for his part was a great villain. You cant truly hate him at times because the author does such a great job at giving him a story. its really painful how he chose to be what he is. he got what he deserved. liza is a total baddie too! misha for his part still remains a mystery and i wish that was elaborated on further. Either way, it is very superbly done and it is a thrill reading this manhwa!

Black Mirror

Complete | Muhwa,Wrist | 2000 released

Terrifying, suspenseful, intense and incredibly well done! from start to finish, the plot plays out beautifully, intricately without giving us any confirmations of what is going on. There are so many mysteries and until the end of the manhwa we are left guessing wtf really happened. the gorgeous art is one of the main highlights of the story other than the fantastic plot and storytelling. Jun is so hot and fuckable and delicious! his character development is pretty unexpected and it shows the horrors of the current world and how someone can fall into darkness. Yeon on the other hand is portrayed as a perfect example of success, cold and beauty. It is very difficult to talk about the characters in detail as they are extremely complex. The sex scenes are glorious except those at the end which is downright terrifying and creepy. I have not been this disturbed and terrified after reading for a long time. To summarize, the way the mysteries got solved, the way the obsession and lack of morals culiminated in a finale which revealed the origin of this all as well as the explanations: it was brilliantly done. The ending could have explained things better but a psychological horror, that was explanatory enough and we can make safe conclusions of our own. This is a must read for psychological horror enjoyers!

Beautiful art, specially those tattoos! The story is powerful and driving. Yuki and haru truly have a solid story going on. I feel Harus pain on another level. To be able to go on despite those tough storms: he is strength and love personified. Yuki for his part is kind despite his tragic experiences. He’s able to love and care despite not having received much of it. The plot development feels satisfying and the ending is just so good!

Intricate, powerful and supremely well written. The build up, the pacing, the characters, the twists and turns: they are all remarkable! Habaki is an intense, driven and passionate man full of powerful love and conviction. There’s consideration, kindness and decency from him. En is obsessive and borderline crazy with his love. What he has done, with the noble intentions is extremely fucked up. However the ties to both of them through their stories: it’s significant and elevates this manga so much! Definitely a worthwhile read. The psychological aspect is also super strong.

Viper

Ongoing | Anko,Mongya | 2019 released

Gritty, dirty, unapologetic and raw. The plot was solid the pacing was great and the characters were strong. The art is gorgeous and the smut is so so good! Both the main characters are entwined by fate and I love to see it play out!

This is pretty great work! The concept is unique and interesting, the world building seems to get even better, the art is beautiful and the characters are pretty solid as well. The seggs is obviously a major plus point! Yoon chaeul is adorable as well as manager. I can’t wait to see wht more yohan reveals !

Sex scenes later on are hot but this basically starts with the seme raping the uke. And that trope follows around. Plot and character and art is good what a waste!

Incredible art, great smut and interesting story. I was gonna write a raving review until the last few chapters when everything went to shit. No manhwa goes without that toxic rapist abusive seme trope does it. Tired of this shit
