Well, not the best manhwa I have read. The plot was good, which kept me going. But it downplays the crimes a lot. The ending was meh. But the art is gorgeous, so might read newer work from the artist. :)

This had me chuckling out loud and was very fun until like the middle? And then it kinda went into chaos with the characters and the plot, speech bubbles too .-. Could not differentiate who was saying what at times.
Contrary to the beginning (with the bullies getting what they deserve and "Siwon" taking no shit from anyone) the ending didn't feel rewarding at all, so many plot points were just kind of thrown under the rug (the thing that rubbed me the wrong way the most was that basically all the bad people did not get any kind of punishment, especially jooheon or whatever his name was, he literally organised a whole gang rape and got someone to tape it too and he got off the hook just for helping to deal with jinwook... like what?!).
Not to mention the main plot point being made so that both of the main characters have to basically depend on each other so their actual identities would not be forgotten because no one else really knows about them... That sounds like the basis for such an unhealthily co-dependant relationship, it was hard to look past it.
I'm a bit sad because, as I said, I had so much fun with like the first 20 chapters and the characters, even if some of the side character stuff did not make that much sense at that point already.
