This contains spoiler, pls don’t read if you want to enjoy the story unfolded especially if you want to read the novel later!!
(((And this is just me yapping after finished the story, I know it’s not a proper place since it’s a manhwa site but pls let me do it yeah I beg u))) feel free to skip if u don’t like.
Damn… I’m a sucker for romance psychological theme and this is one of the best so far (and I read countless of novel).
What Woojin did is fucked up beyond crazy, but questioning and forcing moral to someone who was born with APD/psychopath is like forcing born-blinded person to understand the beauty of color. It’s not like they’re ignorant, but they simply don’t have the ability. So tricky.
However, cos Woojin ended up falling in love with Haewon, then probably he was not full-blown APD. The best portrayal of APD to me is still held by Kang Moo of The Beast Must Die which the ending story was so bittersweet, but still…
If we keep debating Woojin’s APD behaviour, the debate would be endless, but the main reason why this novel is absolutely amazing is that throughout the story, I got sooo many layer and moment of “whatt..?” “Oh wait what??” “Omg seriously wtf???”. The truth after truth unfolded crazily… Happy that I read without exposed to spoiler…
And then, it was adapted to manhwa with INSANELY GOOD artwork with almost no comical expression. It captures eerie-ness of the plot. Got me chills when reread the part where Woojin asked Haewon on how much did he know about Taeshin, now that I know what was on Woojin’s mind, wanted to dig Haewon’s knowledge about the bunker. Rereading all the chapters after understanding what’s on Woojin’s mind really gave new experience as if reading the manhwa for the first time. The way the creator draw Woojin’s eyes is top notch, it captures description of dark gaze as described in the novel.
Can’t wait to see the final blow where Woojin was desperately holding on Haewon, to the point that calculative sociopath deliberately ruined his own life by beating shit out of people and turning himself into jail. But I wonder whether or not the manhwa will take plot shortcut, cos up until now, it was just around 20% of the whole novel.
Looking forward for the next chapterzzz
