A masterclass in comedy and drama, "Moon Yoo" achieves everything it sets out to do, and then some.
The story of the supposed last man alive after the Earth's destruction by a meteor may not be the most original concept, but the author skillfully molds it into a fantastic piece of entertainment.
One of "Moon Yoo's" notable strengths lies in its pacing, effortlessly transitioning between comedic and serious moments. While occasionally the webtoon may appear somewhat pretentious in its scientific explanations, overall, it excels.
Jo Seok proves himself as an exceptional writer. The storytelling never becomes stale or overwhelming, and every episode possesses its unique charms, whether through

mini-stories, exposition, or lighthearted banter. It's all expertly executed.

The art in "Moon Yoo" is exquisite and aesthetically pleasing. Jo Seok deserves all the praise for meticulously crafted scenes, well-considered angles, and beautifully rendered set pieces. The occasional use of colors to emphasize pivotal moments adds a profound dimension to the experience.
Writing: 9/10, Overall Story: 10/10
The scientific foundation of the webtoon is undoubtedly solid, but at times, the viewer might feel that the narrative attempts to explain even relatively simple concepts in excessive detail. There are numerous plot holes throughout the story, but delving into them would reveal spoilers. For instance, in a panel where they calculate the potential paths of an asteroid, some skepticism arises regarding the accuracy of such calculations. The story relies heavily on convenient coincidences.
However, Jo Seok still earns credit for maintaining scientific accuracy, albeit occasionally bending it for narrative convenience. The well-crafted problems introduced in the story, Moon Yoo's lunar adventure, and other plot points help offset these issues.
The webtoon is emotionally gripping and consistently satisfying.
Characters: 10/10
Moon Yoo is a fantastic character, blending humor with the necessary dose of foolishness that defines Cho Seok's characters. Overall, he is well-written.
The same level of quality extends to the rest of the cast, with each character possessing a unique touch, and their dialogues are thoughtfully conceived.
In the end, "Moon Yoo" emerges as a compelling, emotionally resonant, and thoroughly enjoyable webtoon that deserves recognition for its remarkable storytelling and memorable characters. It's a must-read for fans of comedy, drama, and compelling narratives alike.
Overall: 10/10
