Debut or Die
Insanely goated. Like holy shit. This comic barely crossed my mind, but I randomly thought to check it out one random ass evening. Almost didn’t make it after the first three chapters because my attention span is cooked, but I have no regrets whatsoever now that I’ve taken the time to catch up. This review will be tweaked in the future, but here is where I’m at mentally now that I’m waiting for season 3. - I cried. Deadass. I didn’t think I would for this in my life, but there I was sobbing over a scene that barely lasted two chapters. Seeing Moondae break down and falter in the face of his scandal, seeing his persona crack and shatter as he’s faced with the possibility of dropping out of the show (dying), was something so Impactful to me. The hurt, anger, and outburst and retelling of his past put me on an edge I never felt. It was anxiety. Anxiety over a scene I knew would be resolved, but anxiety nonetheless. Deep down I know why I felt so impacted, and it’s because I can’t imagine having to face that. To crumble over so bad, others contributed to putting it back together. His worries were justified, and his feelings were understood. Insane impact frame, the art put me in awe and definitely conveyed the right expressions. The characters are so love able I couldn’t help but root for them all and hope for a great lineup in the end. Only disappointment (and slight heartbreak) was not seeing Gold 1 (lol) debut. He was always there. And his acceptance of defeat just made it even more difficult to digest. Bless him oh my god. I cannot wait to see what’s next. Genuinely. The possibility of me picking up the novel is very low considering there’s not enough translation, but it’s there. Maybe I’ll wait. I’m super excited. And if it takes a year for another season, just re read this series. For the love of god, revisit it. I loved it, and you will love it again.
I Will Change The Genre
When do I ever give 5 stars NEVERRR. Actually so peak. I thank Tik tok for bringing me here. The story was so incredibly thought out, the plot twists were sometimes predictable but nonetheless INSANE, ngl I kept reading this at 3 am when I was fighting sleep so I lowkey lost the plot so many times because of that. I was fighting for my life whether or not they were inbreeding… tf is their family tree on bru . Anyways. the characters are so love able I seriously couldn’t help but feel so so bad for them. The communication in this is mwah chefs kiss. I love the ML, he’s so loser core (LMFKSOOOAK) but still green flag, and just overall very lovable and redeemed himself as the plot progressed. My favorite was Luca, without a doubt. He grew on me so fast, I couldn’t bear to see the middle to last few chapters where we finally learned his truth and hardships. I couldn’t handle seeing him be so miserable. I wish I could just hug him. It doesn’t help that the last panel was him finally achieving happiness. Oh first life Luca, how I wish I could hug you… I can’t right now. Songs associated that seriously made me bawl: Can’t Help Falling In Love, Iris.
