It was so good throughout the entire story, but the ending made me want to kill myself (not in a good way). That's all I have to say.

But since I apparently have to make this longer, I will say this - don't read the last two chapters if you're still catching up. Just do. Not. It will literally ruin everything you ever enjoyed about this story. Just pretend that Giselle, succumbing to the pills, decides to live with Isaac forever. They find the killer and all is well. The end.

But seriously, if they wanted to end this story in a bittersweet/painful note, there ... are so many better ways they could've done it better. It felt like Lee Yunji just gave up after her hiatus LMAO.

god i wanted to rate this higher, i really did.
if you’re looking for a steamy read with vampires, i recommend it wholeheartedly. just PLEASE do not read the last two chapters. i really enjoyed this manhwa but the ending immediately ruined everything for me. anyways issac is so babygirl and i loved the wlw vampire relationship.

now spoilers!
WHAT.
having issac be the killer made no sense? the only two similarities they had was the hair and eyes like all other vampires, otherwise their faces were completely different? also the fact that giselle killed him with no remorse at all? even though the whole story was based ... on their love story, not a single tear was shed? and the extra chapter at the end left me SO confused. i thought the kid might be issac, but then he’s revealed to still be alive and is creepy as hell? god the last two chapters made me so mad. anyways, i really enjoyed reading the rest of the manhwa but i can’t give it any higher of a rating because of the horrible ending.

This manhwa has quite possibly the worst ending I have ever read. Like other reviews state, I now have trust issues reading anything without checking to make sure the ending isn't at least a steaming hot pile of garbage. I was so excited to finally have a mature romance completed manhwa to read...boy how I was wrong.

STORY
The premise was fine. I love vampire stories, but it still was lacking in any depth. If you're just looking for a hot romance to read...go for it, minus the final two chapters. It really could've ended there, anyway. The antagonists sucked and were very cowardly. Overall, it was ... very surface level. Many things were shown in a way of "yep that's how it is. moving on..."

The ending though was complete bullshit. It didn't even make any sense. It almost felt like the writer wanted to do a huge "fuck you" to the readers. It was a total shift from what had been built upon in every chapter prior. Character developments and personalities were tossed to the side, side stories and relationships forgotten about and IT MADE NO SENSE. I had to re-read the ending multiple times to see if I missed anything...I looked it up after and it seems nearly everyone hated it.

CHARACTERS
Listen, I'm not so butthurt over the relationship of the main leads at all by the end - it was moreso this was just a terrible ending. I did not have connections or attachments to any of the characters in this story - but the ending was so bad that it just pissed me off, really. Potential for other side relationships and stories were being introduced but just thrown out by the end and never expanded upon. I've already forgotten the names and faces of all the characters honestly.

ART
The art was decent, some panels were very pretty and set the scenes well.

Overall though do not waste your time with this story, unless you just skip the last two chapters, which you really could get away with doing. The story seemed to be wrapping up then, but instead we got a major twist that made absolutely zero sense and really just soured the entire story in general. The only reason I give this a 2 rating instead of 1 is because the art wasn't terrible.
