Introduction
What happens when reality and fantasy gets mixed up in your daily life? What will you do when you time travel to past? how will you feel when all is caused by supernatural ghost? scaring the shit out of you.This all is experienced by Moon Bin Kim, the main protagonist of the Manhwa 'Threads of time'. I prefer to call the manhwa, a golden discovery. The story and concept both are exquisite and unique.
Story 9.5/10 - The storyline is really great and keeps you entertained till the end. The script written by the author is like a script by famous writers, yet this manhwa is underrated.Each arc makes you crave for next chapter. The story being psychological, the wall between the reality and fantasy's collision is well presented.Using the historical facts, the author has created a phenomenal fiction. Most of the history taken is accurate and using the facts the author delivered perfect harmony and plot to the story.
Art 7.5/10 - I would say the art is simply amazing.The drawing style the author has a very mature feeling, like a seinen manga. The art style gets better and better after each chapter.The Art of both the modern era and koryo-mongol war era have been illustrated perfectly,as it feels we are in the same era and same place.
Concept 9/10 - The concept taken is rich and unique. The mind-bending moment during the reality-break was awesome. Also using the historical facts, rearranging some sequence to add fictional to it, the very concept of it, made it very interesting.There is more to it and bit of surprises so i won't spoil it.
Characters 7/10 - The characterization in the manhwa is what you can find very interesting.I am not sure if the characters are Real or fictional, what i can say is the development of the characters is good.though i will only criticize that i couldnt completely understand sali tayi.There should have been a bit more character development.The character of Moon Bin Kim was perfect, and i did understand his personality.
Overall i give this manhwa 8/10. I definately recommend you to read this. This manhwa is contains drama,tragedy,blood,war,psychological,mind-bending,historical and full with action in about 46 chapters i.e 11 volumes.
