but nice ride, tbh. the passion is immaculate but it's pretty shallow despite "Intense" lol. (but to be fair... realistically, mlm isn't rosey shoujoey like shoujo manga lol)

it's very sexy, and I typically don't even super care about that lol.

something feels missing, but the author tried their best. Jiwoon's kinda creepy sometimes lmao. would've liked for him to find out Yoonshik actually treasured him a lot lol. would've preferred they parted on better terms.

Passionate. But not really profound lol...

Know about this? It gives me the same vibes as Dog Style and Saezuru tori, it's dark, hopeless yet full of intense burning desire. All the while only scratching the surface, we don't get to deal with either man's trauma, nothing is overcome, we don't see them kill or burn in eachother. I liked this nonetheless, it could have been even more intense but that would've taken 20 volumes

I've never read a manhwa so aptly named. The emotions in this were palatable and the whole piece felt so suspenseful. What an incredible ride. Masterfully done and absolutely gorgeous.

I love mobster dramas and the art is great, so this really intrigued me.

but the resulting story is....mediocre. forgettable. I completely forgot everything when I read this again. Jiwoon is supposed to be this skilled assassin but we never see his skills....and he is really dumb for someone who's lived their whole life under a mob boss. Soohan is this mute guy, but that soon no longer becomes an issue once he meets Jiwoon. This is never explained. They fall in love really quickly and really inexplicably. They run away from the mob and the story introduces a whole slew of new plot points: can Jiwoon live away from the mob? Will Soohan turn into another Yoonshik with his possessiveness? Will they get found out? What happened to the mob anyways? How will Jiwoon live from now on? Will this delicate relationship survive? And then the story ends right there. It's possible it got axed, but there wasn't a lot going for it anyways.

I do wish the character relationships were deeper. For all the nice art and mobster drama, the emotions felt quite shallow. I didn't really feel either Jiwoon or Soohan's trauma because they didn't talk about them a whole lot and when they did, it didn't come up in the story again. Nice art, meh story.
