9/10 : story/plot itself was phenomenal, i loved the characters but wish we got more on yeom-ra & yoo min (yeom-oh). art was beautiful

3/10 : the plot was actually rather intriguing and the art style was nothing short of beautiful. however thats about the only thing that kept me interested in finishing this manhwa. the excessive rape and sa included is horrendous. it could have very well not have been added and nothing would have changed plot wise.

4/10 : its such a shame to see such a manhwa with an interesting plot and actual well thought out characters randomly throw in sa and rape. i’m not sure if its for shock value or to give the story a more dark-romancey feel but i despise it. i would still recommend reading this, however it’s important to acknowledge that zhenyas actions are in no way excusable and taekjoo and him really shouldn’t be endgame even if zhenya manages to “redeem himself”.

7/10 : this is actually pretty tuff. the plot is intriguing and keeps you on your toes. the characters are well developed and have you actually wanting to learn more about them. i was able to feel anger, sadness, and joy when things were happening to shin and jake. the way this manhwa is conducting itself and the ml/mc’s relationship feel like a breath of fresh air from the typical submissive/twink and alpha daddy ahh stereotype (nothing wrong w/ that btw). HOWEVER. sa isnt cute

10/10 : the characters, the storyline, the art.. oh my literally everything about this was perfect. i miss my boys already. they def were cringy and i shut my laptop a total of 34 times but it was so worth it!! for sure my fav manhua by far
