An extremely intriguing fantasy historical romantic subplot Webtoon with a disappointing ending and certain unsettling events left unexplained (episode 59 was glossed over). I would recommend it primarily for its beautiful artwork rather than a satisfying conclusion to the story. Unfortunately, "Twilight Poem" was canceled due to allegations of worker abuse, resulting in rushed final chapters.

Plot:
The story begins with Princess Soru, a young girl despised by many because of her birth from a scandalous affair between the prince and the king's concubine. Soru unwittingly possesses immense power, attracting the attention of demons who seek to conquer her while humans want to hurt her as ... they see her as evil. I think this is a good plot but as I said before the ending was rushed.

Characters:
Princess Soru - She made sense in the way she acted as she is a celestial bene from the heavens, so Soru wasn't just "overly nice" rather it was an urge she was born with. I liked that the author kept her character always kind in every aspect and Soru tried to help even those who hurt her. Very well-written not a typical female lead in the sense that she did have an ulterior motive (love, money, power, etc...).

Ja Hyun - Unlike his portrayal in the light novel, Ja Hyun lacks depth and fails to evoke much likability. His character arc feels underdeveloped and uninspired, rendering him a rather bland presence in the story.

Yato - Remarkably well-written with layers of depth to his motives, Yato stands out as one of the most compelling characters in the Webtoon. His complexity and meaningful motivations set him apart from the usual fare found in similar works.

Art:
The artwork in "Twilight Poem" is among the finest I've encountered in Webtoons. Each panel is imbued with emotion, and the coloring is breathtakingly beautiful. The consistency and quality of the art throughout the series are exemplary, deserving of a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.

Overall, while "Twilight Poem" showcases exceptional artwork and some intriguing character dynamics, its rushed conclusion and unresolved plot points make it hard to recommend. Only for an art connoisseur, would this be a good look.
