An underrated masterpiece, truly a wonderful discovery. You shouldn't drop off because of the weird art, because you will be missing so interesting thoughts and perspectives about justice, right and evil, blame, sorrow, madness, loneliness, sadness, and pain, to name a few. Each backstory brings a new light to the story.
It is definitely targeting a mature audience (not so much about violence but about questioning our current society). After reading it, I don't see previously incarcerated people the same way.

This is not a webtoon just to read, but to also question oneself.
- aren't we as individuals too fast to blame a "presumed murderer"? ...
- aren't we too nasty against the family of a criminal, disregarding their own sorrow?
- is it right or wrong to take revenge? At least reasonable/understandable?
- to which extent do you help a friend in need?
And so on.

This series has some of the most authentic and realistic portrayals of humans I've ever seen in a webtoon/manhwa. The psychology behind every decision and motivation are fleshed out so beautifully. And by psychology, I don't mean some insane mind games like Death Note or Hunter x Hunter. The author has a natural talent in capturing the glimpses of all the daily imperfections that really make who we are, and displays them in his panels through subtle gestures, facial expressions, and verbal hiccups. There is something so cinematic on how characters move and speak in this series. It contemplates on the injustice and absudities in ... our world, and how we should or should not deal with it. It has been a gripping tale and a fantastic journey to go through.
