(This review is about the series as a whole, not the individual volumes)

Holy FUCK. This manhwa is...

This is one of the most disturbing horror books I have read in a long time. THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE, and I am not sure why it was marketed as such. Please do not go into this thinking it is.

This series should be read as the Horror it is intended to be.

One of the things that stuck with me about this series was how the author manages to draw the reader into the minds of both Yoon Bum and Sangwoo. When I tell you, I almost felt like I was developing Stockholm Syndrome myself, I mean it. I was questioning my sanity multiple times throughout the series. 

The gore was secondary to the psychological horror and yet it stands to be one of the most impactful horror books I have ever read. I cried for a while after reading it, then decided to take a nap because it was so psychologically draining. This series is depraved, awful, infuriating, horrifying, sad, and painful to read. 

And I loved every second of it.

I changed my opinion on this it’s actually really good and not a romanticization of abuse
