Synopsis

Is this desire for freedom the very thing that entrapped us.

Let Dai is a tragic tale of forbidden love and unforgivable betrayal. Set in a soulless neo-Seoul ruled by young punks and pleasure seekers, an amoral teenager named Dai is the living embodiment of the city's beauty and cruelty. As the leader of the vicious Furies gang, Dai seduces everyone who lays eyes on him, only to blind them to his own barbaric nature. When an honest schoolboy named Jaehee rescues a beautiful girl from being mugged by the Furies, he can't possibly realize how this brief encounter will plunge him into a downward spiral of unbridled passion and unfathomable pain. From his brutal gang initiation to an unspeakable act committed against his girlfriend, Jaehee wavers uncomfortably between revulsion and fascination. And in Dai he finds a tender, caring friend one moment and a heartless sociopath the next, awakening strange and unhealthy desires in Jaehee that he could never before have imagined.

"I can make him worse".

A toxic couple that makes you think that if one is so toxic, the other will make him better. Until you realize that the two are made for each other.

I absolutely hated the 2 main characters in this story. For their selfishness, for their lack of basic empathy towards other people, for their stubborn insistence in obsession disguised as "some wholesome otherworldly love". But the thing is, I also loved them for the exact same reasons. I just couldn't forget them even a couple days after finishing the whole thing, they're perharps not meant to be loved or admired but they still are? Someway?

- Jaehee for how he loves violence and forgives all evil aspects of Dai but still insists in playing the good boy, good friend while being extremely hypocritical. For how he ...

I don't understand why this is viewed as a praiseworthy manga. It felt like a shallow story that was trying to be something more. I thoroughly enjoyed the bits of poetry / diary-like entries, but at the same time I feel like it was trying to add depth to these characters and plots that just were too poorly done to be saved. Everyone was so over the top and unrelatable. I hated almost everyone and every plot line that was introduced. By volume ten or so I was just desperate for it to be over and honestly didn't care what happened to who. Perhaps some ...
