Why Should We Pick This Up?
If you are looking for a straightforward, wholesome romance, this isn't it. This manhwa thrives in the grey area of human emotion:
- It features unapologetic manipulation, intense gaslighting and severe codependency.
- The boundary lines between love, obligation, gratitude, and trauma-bonding are entirely blurred.
- Watching characters repeatedly make terrible life choices feels like viewing a beautiful, high-stakes trainwreck you simply cannot look away from
And icing on the cake- the beautiful art.
Also it is a bonus to watch the series 😉
