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.

Manhwa started, in my opinion, with a full 8...but...WHY? Why did the author have to end the story in such a HORRIBLE way?
Needless to use excuses such as "Eh but it's an Adult/Smut Manhwa" has nothing to do with it at all! "Who's Your Daddy?" (Yaoi and Smut manhwa) has an ending 100'000 times better than this one!
I don't recommend reading it because the ending leaves a bitter taste in your mouth...not to say acid really.
I absolutely do not recommend.
If I had to be honest with the ratings:
Part One: 8/10 (The beginning and early intrigue)
Part Two: 6/10 (Plot well advanced, but starting to have some ... things that don't make a lot of sense)
End: 0/10 (The last 5-10 capitalo)

I'm constantly reading webtoons for the past 7~8 years and I can say for sure this is the worst ending I've ever seen on manga/manhua.
If you read this I'm sure you'll end up frustrated, the author ruined the work that to me was mean to be an awesome story.
The artstyle was beautiful and the plot had everything to be a nice reading.


>>>spoilers>>>

In the last chapters the Fl swore eternal love to the Ml and 2 chapters later the story ended whith the ml being the killer and getting shoot by the fl w her showing no signs of remorse at all. What's the point ... in rushing things like this? The ml wasnt even the killer in the entire plot, they just axed the work and made the worst ending of all the time of many readers.
