Song of the Cloud

Description

These people have been living unhappy lives because they've never been able to do what they want.

Ga Yeon's smart, but wants to become a singer. However, the Korean educational system strongly enforces studying to students without considering the goals and dreams of the student. She's been forced to live a life of suppression.

Jae Hee is a piano player, but he's been living in constant delusion of his life. He has mental problems and cannot distinguish reality from a dream.

Dong Woo and Min Seo are a couple who are talented musicians but cannot make music they wish to make because of the current situation of the Korean music industry.

Hyuk's a very good guitar player, but is forced to be in an idol band, rather than what he really wants to be. The 5 come together to make a band of their own.

Decent.

by MondSemmel

Rating: 7.8 / 10.0

This was a decent story with an atypical but interesting art style. Written works about music often depict bland popularity contests instead, and Song of the Cloud exceeds such stories by instead focusing, to varying extents, on the struggles of the various band members (though not all their stories are explored entirely satisfactorily).

Points of criticism: The story touches on a real mental illness, but somehow seems to have never heard that it can be treated e.g. via medication. And the ending felt a bit abrupt, like it desperately needed an epilogue chapter to have enough room to breathe.

HOLY CRAP

Omg the art is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe someone would take the time to make each page so beautiful and realistic!!!!! Just the art alone gives this story a 10!

And the plot is so relatable! It's wonderfully constructed to give a sense of suspense! While the romance element is subdued, each character personal problems give this webtoon its flare!

Amazing

This story makes my heart scream every time I think about it (just think about it, not reading it even).

The story conveys clearly and straightforward the psychological changes and developments of each characters without being dull. It pulls you in and dips your skin into their world, reflecting our reality into lines and colors magnificently.

Great work! Worth reading and re-reading!

Has great potential!!

This story has not had the length to really blossom, and develop the characters yet, so it could go either way. Either it turns into an angst-fest of suck, or it develops in a way that makes it work. The art is superb, the characters are unique (especially the couple), and the setting is believable. None of these characters have been born into extraordinary lives, and perhaps all of us could at least relate to one character somehow.
I'm not saying I want some romance for Ga Yeon..but well, I want some romance for Ga Yeon T_T This is just the shoujo fan in me, but I think the character deserves that much.

Expecting great things in the future

This isn't my first webtoon. Think Orange Marmalade, Melo Holic, Nineteen Twenty-One and etc.
so the beautiful art was expected.

At first I thought that the story was boring and confusing. For example, one of the characters suffers from hallucinations, and then another character believed in a fake cult. I know that each of the characters have different circumstances and that they have their own problems to deal with, but I think it was a little too much .
Maybe the the author wanted to set a serious tone for the readers but it kinda didn't work for me.

I was struggling on the firsts few chapters but as the story progressed, it has improved dramatically for my taste. The plot grew on me and I was surprise to find myself excited to know what will happen next. It's a great find and it deals with a lot of emotions. If you want to read something deep then this manhwa is for you.

Thumbs up!

This is definitely much much better than author's previous work in terms of story and arts!
I could see the author's growth, it has deeper story and highly developed technique (hand-draw and 3D) which result to this FANTASTIC manhwa.
I love this. I really love this. I've been waiting for more chapters released before start to read this. Just my habit of reading webtoons. 😉
It's really surprising that the author... is young and good looking 😀

Worths reading.

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I was about to misjudge this one.But never judge a book by it's cover.In my case it wasn't the cover but the first story.Definitely the second one is much better than the first one in my opinion.Maybe because i am not familiar with the Korean educational system but i found the first to be a little over the top.Chapter 17 of the third story ah,i don't know where this will go...I could take more seriously the series if the stories were treated as different mini stories.But as a whole, the story looks exorbitant.I would have less chances of collecting people like this if i would put an ad on a newspaper!

Artwork:As others stated it's really really good.I don't know much about the methods of drawing like the 3D method the author uses.But yeah,the end result seems a little different of the ordinary.Different doesn't mean necessarily better though.But i like it.

It's worth reading.But if you search for a band manga/manhwa i don't think that this one was what you may be searching.It focuses more on the life troubles of the people who decided to make a band and not on the troubles of making the band itself(at least until 17th chapter).

Great story

by noirxwingz

Rating: N/A

I read the first 13 chapters and I am really impressed
While reading the chapters of the web series I thought of something that a stranger once told me:
"Most people don't like taking risks against what they know"

And this story is so great because no one in this story, doesn't want to take a risk.

Amazing Art

by PepperPia

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

The art is aposultely amazing, but also a tad unnerving because it's all done in 3D so it's abit out of place. but the story is quite nice, I liked it more after I'd read a couple of chapters. Its very emotional so if you want a quick read don't read this.

The great combo of art and story

by tsubasa22

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

First of all, the art is absolutely amazing. I heard it was a weekly series and to think that the author can get all this done in a week... I have no expression suitable to describe my thoughts...
Now that we've got a few chapters down, I have an actual idea of the feel of the series. I'll comeback to change my rating if anything else happens. The story seems more of the pyschological, emotional story, which I like immensely. I think those kind of storied have much more meaning than series without any emotional impact. It doesn't deal with the pretty, flashy side of show biz, but with the actual passion about music, which is absolutely spectacular. If you're a fan of those emotion packed stories, I'm pretty sure this is something you'll like....
