I know this is just a manhwa, but damn that part about the old man getting sentenced for feeding his grandchildren is just too real. How many times do we see rich, powerful people escape the law because of their money? How many poor people do we see doing acts against the law because they had no choice? It's so maddening because that is the reality of our world. Money, power, influence. If you have those three, you are invincible in the eyes of the law.
I genuinely love this manhwa. I got so emotionally invested and have researched if Japan did really refuse foreign help during a large earthquake, and turns out they did. The red tape in that country is next level. I hope it's better now.
