I loved this story…this reminded me a bit of black mirror in the sense that it’s a twisted love story that you aren’t expecting. BTW the art in this story is beautiful!
Spoilers Ahead
I love the main characters in this story. There’s no excuses made for Seo Ilmo you get to see his history and evolution as a serial killer. They did a really good job of showing how Ah In was torn between falling in love with Seo Ilmo and the fact that he’s a serial killer. In the end, he still loved him even though he wasn’t sure that he had survived and was hoping that he would come back for him.
The only reason this is a 9 instead of a 10 for me, is because I would have really liked to have seen more of how our main couple got back together, what happened with his friend after realizing that Ah In disappeared in the end, and of course our favorite little baby boar Ilmo.
It would’ve been so great to see his reaction when he realized he was still alive how they talked out how they’re going to live together in secret. ..maybe even a few happy days. I think I would have preferred to see more of this in a side story instead of seeing how Seo Ilmo drove his brother crazy even though that was interesting and I did appreciate how it added to the story.
UPDATE - After Side Story 1 & 2
So when I said I wanted more this is an exactly what I meant or wanted.
Side story 1 was good because it gave us a background as to why Seo Ilmo became such a twisted character so I appreciated the backstory.
Side story 2 takes a dark twisted turn that I feel was unnecessary and actually took away from the enjoyment I had of the main story. This entire site story is dedicated to Ah Ins best friend. The better part of the side story was actually really hopeful because we got to see him start to move on from looking for Ah In and actually start a relationship he was settling into with a cop. But then it takes a dark unexpected turn because Seo Ilmo comes back and tortures his new boyfriend leaving an open ending where it’s heavily implied he murders the boyfriend and has someone run over the best friend. It’s unknown how Ah In is doing although Seo alleges he is in the hospital.
To me side story 2 actually takes away from the whole story. I don’t see why it was necessary to do any of this. The main story is over so for the ML who is a psychopath to come back and do all of this in my opinion isn’t necessary as the friend was moving on and wasn’t looking for them anymore. In the series even though Seo is a psychopath he’s more obsessed with Ah In than killing people….
This story wasn’t framed as a romance so maybe it was just me…there’s one more final side story in December 2023 so we’ll see what happens.
