(Contains very light spoilers)
Does this manwha think I have no critical thinking skill???? Bc surprise surprise I do have some brain cells.
This is a story that at its core is a mystery, and what it presents as the main mystery is incredibly fascinating. I love the way it shows parallels throughout the story, such as the killer using one weapon and the copy cat another. That is when the story truly shines. It is the main conflict with the killer that is honestly the only reason I kept reading.
The bad things are very prevalent through the whole story, things that make absolutely no sense.
...
Example is a kid that somehow kills his father and NO ONE found out??? Along with one of Jonathan's friends being a creep and he somehow just doesn't see it or doesn't care?
The plot is not paces well at all, sometimes it's horribly slow then suddenly like 5 things happen. Making it so at the end of the story there are things that are left unresolved, and characters under developed.
Adding to there there are a couple plot holes that I can not stop thinking about. The main one being how Jonathan looses his phone and not even the next day has a new one. But that's not even the most frustrating part. The person who stole the phone do not even use it??? Which brings me into the most infuriating thing of all. ALL the characters are so dumb, none of theme ever really think anything through except mayyyybbeee Kister. Not even the reader is treated as someone who has any brain cells. The clues that are shown through are always explained to us in a text bubble even for the simplest of things. Which is just super disappointing because there are some really great puzzles in here that just feel useless when you explain them. This is mostly due to the fact that when creating a story that involves drawings, it is always better to show not tell.
Overall I don't think I can't recommend this to anyone because it was mostly disappointing except for one character which was Kister. He was the only reason I kept reading.

This had a lot of potential however the characters feel very one note, making this Manwha fall vary flat for me.
To start off i think that this has an interesting concept and I do love the idea of it. Having people obsessed with you for no reason seems like an exhausting existence. Honestly I have no idea how Wooyeon has not gone absolutely mad. Furthermore this series seems to have excellent ideas how this would affect Wooyeon. But, in the end it seems to fall flat because of how all the characters feel like they are one note. Along with that there are multiple
...
things that feel forced. Such as Taeho and Junies relationship. It just makes no sense, because Junie seems to just be messing with him and hates Taeho. But then suddenly actually likes him romantically?? it just never made that much sense to me.
Adding to that the story seems to want to rush through everything. Especially when it comes to both of the main characters childhoods. Sure we get some mentions of Wooyeon's friend, and it is all super interesting. But there seemed to be so much more going on with his dad that we just never got to explore. This problem is especially evident in Taeho's character, early on we learn he moved out of his parents house and he pretty much avoids his mother like the plague. But why??? I don't fucking know. We never get told! It's so frustrating.
Then there is the confession which is just so dumb. And Taeho basically ignores until the very end for reasons unknown, because he seems to like Wooyeon back. It was super weird where it felt rushed and drawn out at the same time.
There are some good things about this. Like as I mentioned before the concept is super interesting and the creator brings interesting side effects to having a power like this. Even if they seem to not have been fully touched upon. Another thing that I do enjoy is Taeho and Wooyeon's relationship, they are just too cute and funny not to love. Especially Wooyeon he is actually so pure. And of course the art is wonderful and just enjoyable to look at.
If you like interesting supernatural things and are not afraid to be disappointed I would recommend this. However, if you are someone who really values their time look for something else.

This story is seriously so fucking funny. Minkyu is actually iconic.
I absolutely love Minkyu and Jung-hyun relationship. It starts off as a misunderstanding but it does form into something truly special. I also would love to mention that it is a surprisingly healthy relationship. We can see how Minkyu and Jung-hyun improve each other, and make each other better people. Then the story also follows a second relationship, that also is very cute. However, in the end it seemed to be a little rushed.
Sometimes I feel like this story will drop some of the hardest lines about life out of nowhere. Two things that
...
some to mind are about being an only child and not knowing what your doing after high-school. Both of these plot lines felt SO real, like the author truly understood what they were writing about. Especially the only child bits... It hit me right in my heart lol.
The art does feel a bit lacking, such as the design of Jung-hyun. it felt unoriginal, it also gave me a bit of an uncanny valley feeling. It does not distract from the plot at all though. So, I would definitely recommend this manwah to anyone looking for a good laugh and a healthy relationship dynamic.

These should not be high school kids, they at least don't feel like high school kids. The best example is Cherry.... like bro is 15 yet he acts like he's 30???
I have very mixed feelings about this whole story, like on one hand the story is interesting. But also, the fact that they are in high school fucks with my brain in the weirdest way. The comedy is pretty good, definitely got me laughing a couple times. However, the story seems to drag on a bit, or over explain. Such as the whole gang system, it just was too much talking for my liking
...
and none of it felt like it matters much. I also wish we just got more of Peach and Love's relationship, instead of the relationship being the main thing in the story it felt more like a sub plot. Which I personally did not like, I really wanted more couple moments.
Something that I loved was Love's backstory I thought it was super interesting. It showed his character motivations really well. But this makes the other characters feel very one dimensional. Such as Peach, the only thing we know about his past is that his brother hates him and he's rich. Which neither of them are expanded upon in detail. King, Kid, and Cherry all fall into this as well. None of them feel very real at all, and I cannot understand why they do what they do.
In the end I just think it really wasn't my cup of tea. I'm sure if you are someone that is more into high-school gang stories you will enjoy this. But don't expect it to be a 10/10.

If your looking for a quick and cute summer read this is it.
I loved this manhwa so much, even with all of its problems. I just can't get enough of how cute Yeonwoo and Tae-hoon are. Like I can forgive all the faults for these two. Not to mention how mature Yeonwoo is, like I literally think this man has me beat in emotional maturity. Which is so uncommon in story's like these, which involve a lot of drama.
Because yes there is a lot of drama, and yes is is annoying. Such as a love triangle that makes no sense, and a second
...
super toxic couple that I do not give a shiiiiit about. There were also quite loose threads left open and the ending felt incredibly rushed. But it might just be me because I want more fluff okay? I seriously just need more Yeonwoo he's just the best, love that man lol. The art is also sooo pretty. But there is sort of a same face syndrome going on here. But it does not distract from the story much.

I'm so baffled by the amount of people that gave this high scores. Like... did we read the same story?
I want to start this off by saying the first 40 chapters are pure genius. I get why someone would get hooked to this story. The characters are so lively, and have interesting dynamics. Like Leewon, he was such a power house at the beginning. Furthermore, the character designs had thought behind them like with Caesar, his design was jaw dropping. It really showed the hell he went though growing up in the mafia. I even knew that this relationship was slightly unhealthy but these
...
characters made me forget about that. It made me want to see how Leewon could make Ceaser into a halfway decent person.
But they had to just go and ruin the story AND FOR WHAT??? Warning mild spoiler but basically Caesar raped Leewon for a WEEK straight well the man was barely conscious. There are no consequences to Caesars actions either...because there never is... The worst thing about this is people are excusing his actions because he was just showing Leewon his "dark side". I swear some people have no idea what that does to a person. Also we could have easily been shown that without the rape. I thought the story was going in an incredible direction, because yes I wanted to see more of his dark side. However this is not how you do it.
I kept reading the story just to see where it would go, because for some stupid reason I had faith in the author. But after chapter 42 the characters don't improve nor do they become static, they actually regress. Instead of Leewon being a powerhouse he instead almost becomes a bystander in his own life. Ceaser just becomes a controlling sex addict that fucks Leewon until he passes out.
This story had great potential this is why I am having a hard time giving it a low score. The first 41 chapters are amazing and what happens at chapter 41 is jaw dropping. It could have been incredible story telling if they handled it right. But no, I guess the first 40 chapters were just a fluke. Don't waste your time on this, I regret finishing this.

WHOA WHOA... This was actually good???
This was like trying to look away from a dumpster fire. All the characters are fucked up in their own way, it was just so weird and interesting I couldn't look away. Multiple times I found myself thinking that someone was going to help Hyeon, only to be so wrong. Another thing was the fact that they intentionally or not showed sex as a form of self-harm. Which is an interesting topic to me because people often only see the more obvious self-harm tactics. Although it was presented in a not so savory way, it still made the story stand
...
out. The story showed the desperate need that someone feels when they need to harm themselves. Furthermore, the way the character development and motivations are done well. Each time I thought I had a grasp on a character I was then thrown a curve ball in a good way. This was because each time a character did something it made sense and wasn't done simply for shock value. Especially at the end, I thought it was going to end in a fucked up way just because they could, but no it was a reasonable ending. Truthfully I thought the end was incredible. However, there are quite a few loose ends that they did not tie up neatly, and it left quite a few unanswered questions.
If you are going to read this just know that there is a lot of kinda fucked up shit in here. Such as age gap sex, manipulation, and incest. (I probably didn't get everything)

Warning this story has consent as an after thought in it. So if your not for that I would not recommend this for you.
Now that I point it out, I gotta say that this is one of the funniest story's I have read. I think every single episode I laughed my ass off. The plot is so ridicules and nonsensical that I can't help but just enjoy myself. There is not much character development nor is this story very deep. But it is all very charming in its own way, even the main characters and side characters were so lively it was a pleasure
...
to read. Such as Gayoon, he acts all tough but totally fishes for compliments from Seungjeong. I find that super fun and the author presents it in such a funny way. Even if consent is very much an after thought... That was deferentially the icky part of the story. But still I thought the supernatural element added a lot of interesting things to the plot. Although they could have deferentially done more with it, especially when we get lore about the power from Seungjeong ancestor. However, I am quite satisfied from what we did get.

It's a super cool and interesting concept, and I did mostly enjoy myself. Plus everything is consensual!
Like I mentioned before I thought that this was a super fun and short series. I really enjoyed the characters but I am disappointed there is not very much depth to them. Or at least the author seems to be scared to give them any depth. An example would be with Seunghyun, we are given little nuggets that something happened that made him want to quit acting, but we never get into it other than surface level stuff. Furthermore, when we are given a reason in the authors note
...
it seems like an underdeveloped idea.
Something I did enjoy was how they slowly fell for each other, and every time they hung out I thought it was super cute. I also absolutely loved Hojun's design, I thought that it matched his personality perfectly. However, in the end it never made me more compelled to care about these characters. So they ended up feeling very one note, and made me not enjoy this series.

Go read this if you enjoy a cute little short manga with cute characters and funny plots this is for you.
I really enjoyed this manga, it was really enjoyable and I love both Sou and Shinba, they both had so much to offer in terms of characterization. I thought the fact that they looked all tough and stuff well they were helping people was a breath of fresh air. For me I love a cool and bad ass looking character, but I often find they can turn out to be unlikable or just disgusting because of their actions. So, I was really refreshing to see
...
that this manga did something different with the tough guy archetype.
The only reason that I gave this a lower score than I would like to have was because of it being so short. To me it really felt like the plot was rushed to much. My favorite thing about these kinds of scenarios is when we get to really cook on what this relation ship is and how it affects people in the long run. Or in more simple terms I love a good push and pull of tension. And I also just want to see more Sou he was absolutely hilarious lol.
Last thing that I want to talk about is how absolutely beautiful the art is. Especially some of the ending panels, like wow man I could cry from how good it was. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
