It's a really thrilling read, the characters were fleshed out well and they felt human and the group thing and their behaviors realistic and I even felt shitty, that's how good it is. We are communal species yet we also pretty selfish in our need to survive and this manhwa perfect captures this.
And I like how the Youngwon character is written out. I dont think he "loves" Hyunho in a normal way. Sure, if there was no breakout, they would have naturally gone out and fell in love with each other but due to extraordinary circumstances, their thinking and behavior changed for survival. But the repeated reawakening in the same scenario and constantly seeing Hyunho dying fucked up Youngwon. After all, he constantly has to see someone die and then wake up in the same nightmare only to realize you are stuck in a loop
I dont think Youngwon hates Hyunho, rather he resents his existence as he's the one triggering this nightmare for Youngwon and wanting Hyunho to survive, not for Hyunho's sake, but to atleast escape his nightmare is a human thing and he got twisted because of repeated exposure to the scenario and he maybe poured his pain, suffering and his curiosity on Hyunho. He's suffering from Stockholm syndrome (trauma based attachment) and he sees Hyunho as a way to stabilize his mental state and grown attached emotionally and mentally.
Perhaps after escaping this nightmare, their attachment would evolve into something normal relationship and it's a blessing in disguise for Hyunho not to remember past but to see things from Youngwon's perspective, but I hardly think this relationship would be smooth-sailing, even if Youngwon seems fine, he still carries trauma and it'll cause issues.
Is Youngwon an asshole? sure, but is he always like this? definitely not. It's the environment and the trauma that made him go mad. he's the one who remembers everything and constantly has to face Hyunho's death, killing people to survive and face the cruel selfish nature of human just to survive and to me, it is very human and I liked it.
If there ever going to be side stories, I'd like them to focus more on trauma, the college incident, how they are adapting themselves after going through something traumatic
P.S: I just learned that this manhwa is written by same people who wrote Profundis and Cutting sleeve?? I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS GOOD MANHWA IS WRITTEN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WROTE RAPE-FEST MANHWA LIKE PROFUNDIS AND CUTTING SLEEVE!!!!!!
