dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Oh this was fascinating! Suspenseful, well drawn, left all the right questions unanswered. Occasionally weirdly paced, but it still worked for me.

Honestly just found this MEH. It sounded so good and the illustrations are amazing but the story just doesn’t hold up for me.

Not only the artists makes clear that his transition from webcomics was rough, the plot goes nowhere and it didn't captivate ne as much as i would like since the writer was the director of a really good movie

I was afraid for a sec that this wasn't going to examine the concepts of "sin" and "good".

This is a manhwa that follows a Korean town plagued by mysterious creatures. A person gets a vision that they're to be dragged to hell in a certain amount of time. These monsters come out of nowhere and take you out.
This series is a complex interesting concept. It discusses a lot of philosophical and sociological themes. From cult culture to mob mentality and insanity. It shows how far a person will go when they're driven by fear. It also discusses faith in some instances.
I really loved this, and can't wait to see how this ends in the next volume. If you're looking for a thought provoking horror comic, I recommend it! There's also a K-drama on Netflix!
