I feel like this could have been better told, and had potential. It's interesting cause it's not the type of story you often see with k-webtoons. It's essentially a story about toxic attachment, codependency, resentment, agency, and (lack of) trust. Maybe even martyrdom?
I also feel like even if they are using a well known myth, it would have still been good to give more detail, as we don't really get how he put his wife into this curse in the first place. What I do really like is that they used the command of the gods to "not look back till you exit the underworld" to signify someone who is not willing to let his love "go" and keeps on metaphorically "look back" in the past, trapping his lover there.
It's an interesting interpretation. Hadestown is one of my favorite musicals and I love the original myth too, so it's nice to see a variance of the story. Also because it focuses on Eurydice's perspective, and her going mad from this pact. You get the sense of asphyxiation she feels, from how nothing going on in her mind can be expressed outwardly, and how her realizing they both have fallen out of love for each other, and now have twisted and ugly feelings due to their predicament, leads her to "act out" and break the cycle. It's kind of telling how the only things she does with her own agency are to cheat with that guard and take poison at the most crucial moment. She's been turned a puppet, and she's seeking life through self-destruction.
I do think it's weird tho that they Korean isekai'd Orpheus into the Duke of the North TM, like what??? Why did you even need that?? Lol
y'all I tried to check out mangago while working in the library just to see what kind of updates were out and it got blocked by "fortiguard intrusion prevention" as pornography lmao I mean they arent wrong I guess
I'm looking for an old horror-ish shoujo or josei that's about a girl who meets a vampire and it turns out she is his reincarnated vampire lover, and they have this vicious cycle romance where one of them always dies or something. I remember in the end it shows that their world (or ours?) is created by these children who create worlds and lives and one child made this story of these two souls intertwined but the child thinks it's beautiful how warped it is so it keeps their story tragic like that.
The title is something like at the end of the world or something of that sort
İs quite interesting I want to know too (=・ω・=)
it took me a while but I found it eventually. The english title is Vampire Girl and the Jap title is If You Want to Destroy The World
Oh my lord coming here from the anime, is it just me or does it feel like that pretty first year that's scheming is accidentally actually getting Koyun and Minato closer lol.
Like the things she said made Koyun realize she has a crush, and I feel like what she told Minato will make him apologise or confront in some way Koyun lol. I feel like this mangaka doesn't like dragged out misunderstanding types of conflicts so that's also a plus point for why I think it's going there. hohoho the classic trope from the age of Jane Austen lmao
edit: SPOILER I read ahead, turns out im an idiot and this mangaka is going to milk the shit out of this misunderstanding omfg. I guess the Seihantai is like the opposite of this manga lmao
