Manhwa

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Whoa, that was a really good manhwa, I did not expect such a good drawing. The story follows, was not bad, although it was a certain amount of such defects. At least I was most annoying about that beloved women sister. Altgouh story about their love was not bad, but why so much about them.... I even didn't want to read anymore. But anyway I liked. It was a long time since I read a good manga, really long time, but this manga will remain in my memory and I think I will read it again, maybe not just one time but 2 or even 6 🙂

Disturbing

Im sure it is a great story but the action scenes are sometimes quite disturbing to me, almost horror-like I'd say. Its too much for me so I've dropped it, I might go back to it someday however.

This series made me shed tears TT_TT
I'm not sure what I can criticize. The author was extremely successful in creating characters with depth, while maintaining an intriguing and motivated storyline. This manga was really a page turner for me (as are the author's other works). There is a fantastic blend of humor and tragedy that contributed to making this one of my favourite mangas of all time.

Mediocre

by PZcolo

Rating: 5.5 / 10.0

Didn't like this one much, the only good thing I could find was the art level of detail, but at the same time, the faces were very unexpresive or unfitting and some times the drawings were hard to grasp.
Story wise, I found it very weak, there aren't many explanations and not much logic in what happens, leaving a disconnected and bland plot which jumps from one place to another and one time to another. Also, chars are hardly well defined which makes it hard to get a liking to them or hate or whatever feeling you seak since they just don't feel very real.
And regarding what MariMS says "don't expect it to be the usual "the strongest/most determinated wins all, some kind of miraculous twist happens because I'm such a badass" story", that's exactly what this is all about, I don't know what you read man.
I'm guessing the translation wasn't good which complicates comprehension a little but even so I found it pretty much uninteresting and couldn't get hooked up with it (begining and end were the only somewhat interesting moments).

Sorry, blame Aji Tae

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

This isn't the first time I've seen an antagonist like Agi Tae, so I knew what was coming with Sando if it wasn't obvious enough.
So inevitably, it pisses me off. Usually I don't give 1s and a review.

Minor comment: once again, in Korean manhwa there always seems to be a girl who is psychologically messed up... always.

Well now lemme finish this ... ugh. His face and Sando's face makes me want to puke.

Back. Well that was a lot of wasted grief on a Manhwa. Real pointless. Bland ending. Still read this if you want some fantasy to kill time. You'll probably like it better than me.

Boring

Rating: N/A

I'm only 4 chapters in but I really can't see the draw.. it seems very random and the story jumps around a bit. It really shouldn't take more than 4 chapters to set up a basic plot other than episodic trials against bad guys.. unless that's all there is to this. In which case a 4 would be well deserved.

Very Interesting

I had to sign in just to comment this manhwa, 'cause all the critics I've seen are "there's no personal development", "Berserk is much better", "clichée ending" blah blah blah.
First of all, this is a manhwa, if you want to read a typical manga, don't read this. It's based losely on korean culture, don't expect it to be the usual "the strongest/most determinated wins all, some kind of miraculous twist happens because I'm such a badass" story, pllllease, go read shounen manga if you want that...
And the comparison to Berserk! For god's sake! There is nooo comparison! The only similarity is the demon like enemy, that's all... There aren't naked women or rape at EACH CHAPTER like there are in Berserk (don't get me wrong... Berserk is good in it's own way, but after six/seven volumes or so you're already expecting a rape in the next five pages...), and he isn't fucking damn invincible, he uses his BRAIN, and there aren't gratuitous violence and miraculous comebacks all the time.
Anyway, this is a story about MUNSU, not about Sando, Bang Ja or whatever. Sando, for ex., is a inocent, weak minded country girl... to me, her ending were fitting, giving the amount of chapters; Bang Ja were just comic relief, the author said so himself. The only one I really felt sorry for was Won Sul, it was just tragic.
There's a lot of flashbacks, and it takes a while to understand. There are a lot of enemies changing sides, but you kind of get it, they were "monster like" soldiers who lived to battle/be ordered around; AND they were completely helpless against Aji Tae. So, give me a break, what were they supposed to do? Say "I'll kill you!" and have their head exploded in the next five seconds?
Finally, Munsu is a hella nice antihero, don't expect him to be a nice guy like "i'm invencible", "the world is great, just keep on believing!". He's a realistic guy, he just loses it when it's about Aji Tae (with reason).
So, I'm giving it a 8, 'cause the art, the story, the strong kickass women and the main character kept me interested 'till the end. The only flaws to me are some random dialogues used to make you feel one way now so that in ten chapters ahead you totally change your view. It's a trick used a little too many times in this manhwa.
Overall, I liked it a lot, I couldn't stop reading until the end. It's refreshing, and it didn't make me roll my eyes like most of shounen/seinen series does oh so many times to me nowadays (and stop comparing everything to Berserk! It gets annoying after a while!).

I LOVED this manwha

by creix

Rating: N/A

But not everyone will, as shown by this vitriolic fellow RexIX below me.

What he says doesn't completely lack merit. The manwha is very psychological (not horror psychological, its just a lot of things have more to do with the mind rather than some kind of crazy celestial power or something), and a lot of what goes on is deliberately left unexplained for a while, but if you bear with it, it becomes clear. A lot of things are heavily influenced by people believing things and force of will, not like pure power, like in Bleach for example. If anything, this manhwa is NOT straight forward.

I, personally, understood the characters choices rather easily once events became clear, but that's just me. If you think the ending is cliched, there's no help for you, in fact I really don't understand how you could possibly think the ending was cliched at all. In fact, its probably the least cliched ending that I could think of (thats good anyway)...

The only part you could really think that was cliched was the Sando thing, but she cut his damn arm off, and in addition Munsu was facing down Aji Tae and shown completely powerless as his body parts literally exploded, Munsu had already been shown to be a weakass when facing down the dude with the hugeass sword. There was no "rawr, Im going to win because I have resolve" thing going on, no insane boost of strength, the Aji Tae's power is vested in his nearly inerrant self-confidence and his near-omniscience. He had problems with Munsu because Munsu had previously literally given him an ass kicking, and when Munsu faced him down without even displaying a slight lack of confidence it shook him up. Oh, and Munsu died, and was fully aware he was going to die very soon before the final battle, and Sando just disappeared to wherever afterwards as well.

deep breath
exhales

If you're the kind of person who likes a Fairy Tail like "friends" thing going on where everything turns out great, this manwha is not for you. If you don't mind a little convolutedness, then go for it. I loved it.

Waay overrated

by RexIX
13 years ago

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

Well, just before I say anything else - the hype didn't live up to itself.

The art is great in this manga, but that's about it.

The characters do not leave a feeling of depth, their actions are more likely to leave you with an impression that the character behavior is defined by authors whim and not by the character’s way of thinking. Seen at its best in the Hwelbindang arc

when the leader Hong Gildong announces that the city besieged, when taken, shall be burned to the ground, but then few chapters latter in the flashbacks we see a kind hearted Hong Gildong who is shocked that a person is killed without her orders. Seems that there is just a small step from a good natured thief to a genocidal maniac. And this is not the only example were storytelling seems to go in heavy contradictions to already or later established facts. Ondal and Pyeonggang arc would be just another fine example where as it seems parts of the arc are being being shown happenening ! while in reality they have not even happened in the imagination of the schizophreniac princess.

It feels that the author of the manga portrayed these events in the particular way not to tell a story of a princess teared apart in her cage but to fool the reader with artificial drama or make the reader feel in a certain way about events that have already been established by sawing together events don't do not stick together or feel obviously out of place.

Ok so the story telling and characters are contradictory, but what about their development it is an epos right? As it has been noted before the character development doesn't deserve any mention... AT ALL. I feel sorry for having to even write this. We have main heroes like Sando and Bang Ja who come into the story fairly blank and walk out blank again. According to a number of reviewers this is an epic story. In an epic story a character shouldn't be a blank page when it leaves the story, but they do. The a/m (Sando and Bang Ja) main characters have bleak (if any) back stories, they rarely get any show time and their actions are episodic, but in the end

when the main hero pleads to Sando come to her senses we are supposed to feel for their relationship and understand how deep their bond is. But there is just one problem, through the whole story they have at most had a paragraph of conversations, Sando is always keeping a distance thus it is not clear when the supposed bond was born between Sando and Munsu.

And again this is just an example. There are other characters with as pathetic character development. Like all the underlings of Munsu that fought with him with the monsters in the great battle while he was ageneral. Their characters experience a complete 180 degree turn at least more then two times in the whole story, and for the first switch (when they joined Aji Tae) there is completely no explanation, then for the second one it is so bleak that I think the author should have left it out completely

they get beaten and die. Everything what these former comrades say contradicts to what they did before joining Aji Tae, and it can’t even be explained by their fear from Aji Tae, as in the end they still switch sides without any logical reason.

The ending of course is clichéd and IMO no spoilers could ever spoil you the story considering that it is completely like any other story of this type.
If you are looking for an epic story about war with deep characters better take Threads of Time or Berserk this story's characters are mediocre at best.

Initially I did wish to give this manga a 6, as I considered it to be a mediocre piece but ok to read, but as I hate the hype about this manga, I gave it 1 simply because I do not think it deserves such high rating and a 6 wouldn’t bring the stats down.

I read this when my reading list was only 50 series long. 300 series later, I still thought it was the very best (as in the best out of all that I have read). If anything, make time for this piece. No, just drop everything else to start this one if you have no time. Its GODLIKE
