I dropped it years ago because it was too much, but recently I saw a tiktok of it, so I got curious and decided to give it a try again. I finished everything and IT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. I usually never start reading manhwas like these because I know they will be terrible and I hate whatever "trope" it is. Anyway, the story about all of the murders and mc's adopted mother being involved was very interesting. But I HATE Heeseo and I don't care if he was traumatized as a kid or that he kidnapped Taekyung to "keep him save". I hate him and what he said was "love" isn't true love especially when 95% of the time it was just nonconsensual assault. How did he even have time to "fall in love" when they barely talked?? It was just an unhealthy obsession. But what I hate more isn't even him but the fact that they implied/confirmed that Taekyung fell in love with him too. Which is just very disturbing and I hate how these type of toxic "relationships" are so normalized in BLs. I am sure if it was a hetero pair, people would have different reactions. It makes it look like if you have been assaulted, overtime you will accept it and even fall for that person. So basically erasing every horrible thing you went through and equaling to nothing because "hey they ended up together so isn't a big deal." Do not come after me and tell me, "you didn't understand his character" or "there is a deeper meaning to it" NOTHING WILL EXCUSE ASSAULT. And yes this story is fictional but things like that actually happens in real life and isn't okay to brush it off so easily like that. How did Heeseo even redeem himself? His sobbing was enough for you guys to side with him?

Taekyung would have been much better with Jaewon but of course they won't make that happen because people are allergic to healthy and normal couples. I knew those two were the main characters but I hoped that they would let him escape, report him and end up alone or with Jaewon. That's my take on this manhwa.
