Genuinely one of the best written and illustrated manhwa’s of all time. The parallels between the two characters, the visual storytelling, everything is perfect. The way the police’s clear reflection in the mirror becomes a shadow once he removes his cap, like a mask being taken off, the way his smile and touchiness lessens the older pyeonghwa gets, the way the light in pyeonghwa’s eyes fades as time passes. I can already feel the angst coming with incheol realizing it’s technically his fault for making pyeonghwa end up in the care of an abuser and realizing that he’s also a victim of “grooming” by the mayor who’s forced and conditioned him into a life of crime and violence.
