I’m not sure how many analogies one can use but this manhwa was simply like a cheeseburger but there’s only cheese on one side.. if that makes sense.
The beginning was attention grabbing. I liked the setting, the characters *seemed* fairly complex, and I liked the set up of the love triangle even though I’m usually not a fan. Everything was going well even when we discovered how manipulative and tactical the older brother is. I’m a fan of intelligent characters, and even though sirens were going off due to how unhealthily obsessed he was, I liked how he was always two steps ahead. Younger brother was kind of an airhead to me at first, then he started resembling his brother more later on, which i found pretty intriguing because it seemed like he would put up a fight. I thought MC was pretty cute, albeit slightly a pushover, but i know that was an intentional decision from the author. Everything seemed great..
Then we just started going in circles. And circles. And circles. The characters turned one dimensional, i believe it’s partly due to the lack of characters, the author started to back themselves into a corner with the plot points. After all, you can only do so much with a cast consisting of about 5 people (and that’s including the “connector” guy and the ex) I got bored, and despite how unhinged their actions became, they couldn’t undo my boredom. I couldn’t put it down for the first ~35 chapters, then I just could not pick this up again for the life of me.
Even if i complete this, I’m pretty sure i’ll forget about it in 2 days flat. It’s as mediocre as they come, and probably sufficient enough if you have a couple hours of your day to spare or a long flight ahead of you.
