I'll start by saying that this is a really good newer thriller series, in contrast to most new thrillers on webtoon that always feel the same. The speed is the only thing I have a problem with, other than that, the ending was very bittersweet. Though I really liked the conclusion, there was still room for much more development in this webcomic. It's not bad; it's just a little dull at times. However, the conclusion was just stunning.

Characters - Seonghye, the main character, first expressed a great deal of worry and concern over being placed in the welfare center, but as time went on, ... she revealed herself to be the stereotypically intelligent, big-brain main character. I prefer the main characters to be likable and easy to put yourself in their shoes, but it can be difficult when they can come up with brilliant strategies under stress. I'm kind of tired of seeing the same character be overpowered and extremely intelligent. In addition to not being all that special, her friend—who was later disclosed—was highly dynamic, had a lot of interesting character qualities, and had a well-defined backstory.

Plot - Compared to all the recent webtoons that have been released, it felt distinct and unusual. It just didn't feel well planned out; the speed would change from being really fast paced to having nothing significant in the following chapter. Having a designated end for each episode rather than following the narrative would be one approach to fix this. If it had been better organized, every chapter would have been roughly the same length because some were rather short, and some were very long. Another issue was that the mysteries were all solved in the last 20 chapters rather than being gradually revealed, leaving the reader with the impression that they had been in the dark for far too long.

Art - I was enthralled with the artwork. Unlike other webcomics and animes, which depict blood as pink, blue, or bright red this one depicted blood accurately. All of the characters had an unsettling, spooky aura, and when they depicted kids, they didn't appear to be miniature versions of grownups.

All things considered, this is a good webtoon and a good thriller series to binge read. The only drawback is that there are too many long stretches of darkness for a reader, which can get boring. Still highly recommended if you want to read a medium length thriller. Some people may enjoy overpowered characters, which is totally fine so read it if you want to.
