To start this webtoon is not a romcom but more of a thriller webtoon with romance and comedy. It was still a good thriller, but I wish the webtoon artists didn't feel the pressure to put it as romance to get more reads. The humor was really funny, and the characters were all very well-written. A minor spoiler in the plot but not that big of one.
Plot:
A high schooler named Juwon Gu is caught in a bank robbery with a woman named Noa. Little did Juwon know, that Noa is a killer who comes from a troubled family and seeks love to fulfill her 'Mother's'
...
last wish. Noa leaves her father, Seongmyeong, who turns out to be the main antagonist. Later, Juwon becomes entangled in Noa's life, facing the dilemma of either saving his family by taking someone's life (and bearing that burden) or allowing them to perish, a revelation withheld until the final ~10 episodes.
Characters:
Juwon Gu (Main male lead) - He is a vulnerable and caring individual, often prioritizing others' well-being over his own.
Noa (Main female lead) - She is loyal, outgoing, and selfless, particularly in her efforts to support her family while striving for personal growth.
Seongmyeong (Main antagonist) - He is portrayed not as an anti-hero but rather as someone who tries his best but ultimately fails, resorting to harmful actions in search of happiness, making him a well-written character.
Art:
The artwork is stunning, particularly the cover art. While there were some minor inconsistencies in character heights, the overall art style is typical and not unique, but the beauty and vibrant coloring make up for that. It is still very visually appealing.
Definitely a good read for a light-hearted thriller but it usually isn't something people typically look for. Unfortunately, this is a fast-pass series so no binge-reading, and the last three episodes are paid-locked. Good characters, and good art, so nothing extraordinary and the plot gets confusing occasionally, but the last episodes are adorable, and I like the way it wrapped up.
