I've liked this manga a whole lot- especially the art and the psychology of the characters. Many people would criticize this manga for the complicated, psychological story, and also the way it continuously jumps from the present time to the past. In my case, I'm fascinated by how complexe the characters are- meaningful dialogues, where you have to read between the lines to realize what it really means that they're trying to say, the cruel realities that are confronted, and a little bit of over-dramatizing.
For people who don't like guro/gore, then I suggest you don't read it, because you won't like it. It's not

This manga is all about subtle misdirection. It doesn't outright lie to you, but it tries to deceive you by careful omission and double-meanings. You can't even trust the synopsis, and you must pay attention to every panel and its possible double interpretations.
Although, in contrast to fiction that is all about twists and turns of plot, nearly all the revelations in Doctor Du Ming are psychological ones. It's your understanding of the characters and their motivations that will shift drastically, and that would color the few important events in the manga in a different light. The art is distinctive and realistic, to the point where some ... Nov 12, 2015
As far as I could gather, this manga is an adaptation of a Chinese novelette. And this fact of trivia is surprisingly relevant – you’d need to adjust your expectations accordingly to get the maximum enjoyment from this manga. What do I mean? Well:
A novelette is limited in volume, its story won’t and can’t explain everything, and the story in this manga is highly schematic as well. But thankfully its length is proportionate to the adapted content, 15 chapters, a read for one night, so you’ll hardly have time to ponder over background details.

The thing that brings this manga down is the 'hazy' story; it's sort of a go-nowhere kind of plot and it can get confusing and vague. The characters weren't fleshed out enough, especially the main character, which was a pity. Well thats an understatement, I was actually really disappointed with the character development of the main character. There were these little hints scattered in the story that made you realise he has a darker, more complex personality and you just want to find out what he's really thinking. But the author tells the story like how you would describe a memory that you can't really
