Stalker

Everything is resolved in the end but I wish JaeYoung (EunSun's husband) apologized properly. Didn't like how JaeYoung apologized to MinWoo (our precious main character). I mean, JaeYoung pretty much crippled MinWoo's legs with a baseball bat, making MinWoo forever having a limp...that's pretty messed up. I'm glad JaeYoung apologized at least, but it should at least be done properly if he's going to apologize sincerely, like a Korean bow or something after they recover from their wounds. The apology feels too rushed and glossed over, like the author just wants to get it done. It would've been better if JaeYoung visited MinWoo in the hospital afterwards, to show the readers his sincerity or change in character for the better.

Also lots of cliches from dramas and common plot devices. I could basically guess the kidnapping plot (LOL maybe I've watched too many dramas.)

It's a nice surprise for a nice character like EunSun to not doubt MinWoo's innocence, but it's a bit unrealistic.
Not to mention, she knew her husband bullied MinWoo in the past and still likes him. Even though she doesn't know the full extent of the bullying, it should be conflicting with her values since her dad is also disfigured. Why would she then fall in love with a man who bullies disfigured people like MinWoo when she hates people bullying him? It doesn't really make sense.

It's also a bit disconcerting for MinWoo to set up surveillance cameras to watch someone he likes, even if we can sympathize with him.
I also wonder why MinWoo doesn't get treatment for his skin? He can try skin grafting, etc. if medication doesn't work since his dad is rich and gives him money...I guess I just found another questionable part of the plot...

So... stalking is bad, right?

So intense! I want more updates please! It's so thrilling and I hope there's a good resolve at the end; or at least a good story that will lead up to whatever the author decides to end it as. I'm really debating on wether or not I want Minwoo to get some consequences. I mean what Minwoo was doing is really creepy. Setting up cameras all around her house and neighborhood, creeping through the sewers, stalking her via. social media (When does he even have time to take a shower?) But at the same time he is shown in a light that makes him pitiful to the audience. --Stalking is weird, but in this case it proves really helpful.
Glad that in every chapter Minwoo is going outside and doing something with his life and is actually involved in something other than his obsessive and creepy hobby instead of just wasting away looking at a screen... (ironically what I'm doing right now.)
Thoughts on the characters are:
Minwoo= (the main protagonist) I feel bad for him because he is a scapegoat for everyone to bully. He's a real sweetheart with a heart of gold.

I hope he doesn't get framed for kidnapping Hyein. I also hope that in some way Jaeyoung realizes that Minwoo is a good guy and that he doesn't hold a grudge against him. Somewhat proud of him because he isn't a character who loathes Jaeyoung, he actually is happy that Ensung is together with him.

Ensun= (woman who is getting stalked by minwoo) She is probably my favorite character in the whole scheme of things. She's got some smarts and is the only one that has ever constantly shown faith and compassion for Minwoo.

Props. to her for finding out that she was being watched, AND was able to find out where the cameras were located! Although it's not much an achievement as it is common sense, but she figured it out faster than the moronic detectives who's job it is to sniff out shit like that out. She, like Minwoo is such a nice person. She's too nice I've got to wonder if she is all that she seems. I'm too pessimistic and cynical to trust "clean" people with no baggage.

Jaeyoung= (Ensung's husband) he's an ok looking guy, he has some issues but so does everyone and Minwoo knows it too and forgives him. I pitty him because he's torn up because of his past actions that have led Him to accumulate an enormous stock-pile of guilt. He also serves to entertain me so atleast your doing something that appleals to me Jaeyoung!
His personality from what I have observed so far is not the best. Whenever some misfortune comes his way he doesn't handle it well and breaks down. Leading him to vent his frustrations on the weak.

Hope he can get better and be friends with Minwoo.

Hyein= (Daughter of Ensung and Jaeyoung.) At least she is smart enough to not go with strangers.

Just hope that the rest will one day be posted.

You don't find many (if any) stories similar to this. It's refreshing.

Strange premise no doubt. Not sure how long the series can last, but I don't think it will be a terribly long one. It quite unique in that the main character is a stalker. And well, he's trying to find his neighbor's daughter's kidnapper. I would recommend this to any who want to read something they've never seen before.

The Manga

Stalker is pretty good; I have to admit. It's quite interesting. But the main point of this manga isn't targeted on romance, it's more of a friendship thing between the stalker and the person who is being stalked.

At first, I thought that the stalker was some meanie bo beanie. But the thing is - is that he's not. He's really sweet, and he deserves more.

This manhwa is quite intriguing. It's not a story I've ever come across. I've read 6 chapters into the story and I've found that the author paints a lot of layers about the stalker and i really pity him. I can't seem to hate the stalker (yet.) But I do find him a LITTLE creepy. At first, I thought I wouldn't like this story, but after reading it... I found myself reading and reading... lol. I wanted to know more about the stalker and his story.
