Kdrama worthy

This is EXACTLY like a kdrama. An absolute emotional rollercoaster. I am not even kidding you - goes from straight comedy in the beginning to tears in the middle/end. Yes, be prepared to cry. It's that good.

Holy Freakin'

It's been a while since I balled my eyes out reading something.
While the style is different from a more traditional comic book style, the art is amazing and makes you slow down while you read it and get a real grasp of the situation that the protagonist is going through.
I'd recommend it any day.

A must read!

This one won't be the most epic read out there but it is definitely a must for anyone who likes family oriented story lines. If I were to describe the main character in one word it would be self-sacrifice. It really is hard to not to add any spoilers and still give an adequate for why you should read this... Just do and read it all the way to the end.. you won't be dissatisfied.

This manga started out sweet and touching. But the sheer number of disasters and accidents reaches past ridiculousness and into hilarity. Seriously, not a single good thing happens to this guy.

really great

First thing, I always wanted to read this, but every time I see the costume the man is wearing I would reconsider and move it aside.. but really that costume is to be blamed.. It looks really awful on him
(= ~ =)

But truth to be told, this is one of those stories that will break your heart with every chapter.. with every decision the guy would make.. and with every situation he would find himself in..
this story is genuine.. how many stories did you read about a husband and a father dedicated to his family and accepting all the hardships and sacrifices he make for the happiness of his loved ones?..
You should try it out, and stick to it for some chapters until you see its true story..
Totally worth it.

Short: Art is great, story BREAKS MY HEART SO SWEETLY. You have to read till chapter 4 to decide whether to drop it or not, because after I read that chapter, I was gonna be with it till the end.

Long: Sometimes it feels like I'm the wrong person to read this comic, like I should be telling every single dad or otherwise man I ever meet to read it instead, but I keep reading it because it feels like I'm being let in to their world.

Line Webtoon does an awesome job, one of the few they actually do justice on, adapting this webtoon to english for free online consumption. I look forward to each chapter every time it comes out (monday and tuesday) because it's not only gorgeously illustrated, each character there is absolutely interesting and it makes me go WHAT THE EFF or WHYYY or MY HART every time i finish an ep. It's freaking good.

==============================

EDIT: finished the ending. Which was tragic to the point where it was both sad and ridiculous. I had mad fun reading the forty one chapters. Pil Won Jung remains strong on my list.
