RELECTURA 2021
Anteriormente dije en la reseña que yo este manghwa lo iba a releer en un futuro lejano porque tenía demasiadas lecturas pendientes. (Cof, cof qué mentira más grande).
La primera vez que leí esta historia la encontré por casualidad navegando por estas páginas de mangas online; como la Elena de ese momento estaba aburrida lo empezó y se leyó en esa misma tarde todos los capítulos disponibles. Lo que no sabía la muy lista es que no estaba acabado y…¿qué hizo? lo que hace siempre: olvidarse de que se ha leído esa historia y abandonarla durante años como muchos otros mangas. (La Elena del presente intenta no ser tan desastre aunque algún que otro manga le pasa que no apunta donde se queda y luego se destripa la historia, en fin. Típico).
La segunda vez y la que vengo a reseñar es aún más triste que la anterior. En plena noche y se pone los primeros capítulos con la excusa de “ seguro que con esto me da sueño”. Tres horas más tarde había leído 60/100 capítulos. Mira al techo, mira la hora 1:45 de la noche y piensa: m*****. Al día siguiente del calentón se terminó la historia, no esperó ni a la noche para leerlos.
Ahora, la Elena más cuerda después de leerlo, mentalizarse y haber analizado el magwha desde un punto más “objetivo” ha llegado a las siguientes conclusiones:
La historia en su conjunto llama la atención y es entretenida. Lo admito porque sino no la hubiera abandonado a la primera de cambio. En cuanto a su contenido, tiene su punto de “terror” y cuenta con un toque macabro, además recalcar que con el título ya se sobreentiende que va sobre fantasmas. Tampoco me da miedo, yo que soy una asustadiza innata y cualquier cosa me agobia, he podido leer esto sin problema y a oscuras así que no creo que el resto de lectores tengan ningún problema.
Ahora, en su conjunto la historia es muy simple y para mí le falta bastante profundidad. Como dije antes si su función es entretener va perfecto pero más allá de eso, no. No te esperes una gran historia con unos grandes personajes que te llegan al corazón. Contemplala más bien como un relato para pasar la tarde o para leer mientras tienes bloqueo lector.
Los personajes planísimos y bastante clichés. Yo sí hubo desarrollo entre ellos no lo vi. Una protagonista que nunca sonríe por nada y parece que no alberga sentimientos alguno y luego un protagonista celoso, misterioso y vaya es un fantasma. Añade un poco de drama-amor telenovelero y voilà tienes tu historia.
Por último el dibujo no me gustó nada. Creo que le faltaba al igual que la historia profundidad y muchas veces me costaba leer alguno de los bocadillos por los colores que utilizaba el autor-dibujante.
En conclusión creo que he leído mejores obras.

This is probably the best romance story I've ever read.
My heart ached so much throughout all of it.
The plot is amazing and there are so many twists.
The characters are twisted and beautiful, I loved it.
The first chapters fooled me, it was kinda scary and I found myself wondering about the 'romance' genre tagged into it.
Anyway, it's really romance.
And a beautiful one, that is.
If you don't really like romance, don't worry, this book has more than that.
It's thrilling and intriguing. You'll find yourself wanting to know more about the characters' backstory and everything. They're all imperfect and broken and the authors made sure we'd want to know more about them, thus we'd keep reading.
And the graphic! They're WONDERFUL!
I literally applauded the authors because of the characters' developments. They're exquisite and subtle, and that's what makes it really good.
And OH!
Did I tell you I loved the heroine?
Nope, I didn't, did I?
She was AMAZING. She was strong and tough and everything I want myself to be. She wasn't afraid of anything (well, almost), she NEVER flinched when there was a ghost right in front of her. And her lack of fear just made me fearless throughout the book. I mean, the characters weren't even scared, so why should I?
I finished this in one sitting. Probably in about 6 hours because of the slow connection I have in the middle of the night. And I cried, SO. MANY. TIMES.
Not sure it was because I was too sleepy or sad, though. Probably a bit of both.
Now, I'm totally gonna recommend this to all my friends.
While patiently waiting for the next season to be released in English.
(The Korean version is out, and I'm just here using google translate to understand it)

Seriously man, I did not expect this to be this good of a horror read for 64 chapters (yes I know this is just only season 1). It felt like I was Watching a Tim Burton/Black Butler movie while reading this manhwa. Jack, Go Eun and the rest of the characters (Cindy, Aiden, Sebastian) were all very much interesting characters to join in their ghostly journeys throughout.
I wouldn't call this manhwa thrilling but goddamn man, it is so intense and addictive that you are dying to read more.
Very good read, hope season 2 doesn't turn out to be rubbish!

I don't know that I can write a synopsis for this. It's just...wow, intense. I don't normally like horror, but this is so beautifully made, psychologically intense, and it is a great HEA romance as well. The idea behind the bad-guy is REALLY cool. (Be sure to read series 1 and 2 or you won't get a complete ending. I read on mangarock.com, be sure to find, buy, and support the author even if you read it there!)
Edit-Just learned mangarock may be stealing scans and unethically getting money through their nasty adds, so maybe look for it on mangadex or anywhere else that isn't messed up.

An unexpected turn from horror to a psychological love story. I loved it!

¡Que manhwa!
No solo la historia te atrapa inmediatamente, el estilo de dibujo un tanto tosco en algunos trazos y otras hermosamente detallado hace una delicia su lectura.
Hay escenas escalofriantes y gore pero de una belleza que solo hace que admire más al artista.
Ese Sebastian sin duda es despreciable sin embargo no deja de tener carisma. La química entre Jack y Go Eun sin duda es palpable pero el comic no se centra en solo eso, obsesiones, deseos que carcomen el alma de sus dueños.
Ya quiero leer la segunda temporada :3

This book just killed me. I'm dead.
I love the art, the setting, the story, the characters and just everything about this manga. The book has a melancholic touch to it, actually its filled of it. It's an onslaught of sadness, agony, lost, desperation and just a lot of emotion that I was bursting at the seams. The sense of loneliness and sadness was so profound that it touched me to the core, it was raw and so beautiful. I don't know if I should hope for a happy ending or just accept that this book would probably have a tragic finish.

This series was gorgeous! I was hoping the ending would not be too happy, it was a perfect ending for the series. I do wish Sebastian had been tied up a little better, he was such an interesting character. I wonder if he is inspired by Sebastian from Black Butler? It also gave off Phantom of the Opera vibes. I really love the relationship dynamic and the horror elements. This is my first horror romance and I hope to find more!

Favori webtoonumu baştan okumak çok güzeldi. Çoğu doğa üstü romantik eserlerden daha çarpıcı ve güzel bulduğum bir konusu var. Çarpık karakter kişilikleri ve güzel çizimleriyle okumak büyük bir zevkti.

One of the only completed web-comics I've read. Gorgeous art paired with an amazing plot and writing.

This book was amazing. I am still not over it. Read it. You won’t regret it.

I just finished reading this and it is beautiful! Does anyone know if there is a printed version of this book? Reading it online was fine but I would love to read it in graphic novel book form.

I came here and created an account because I needed to talk about how absolutely amazing this manga is! I can't even explain how much I loved it. I stayed up half the night reading it and couldn't wait until work was over so I could finish it. Even after the first main story arc is concluded the second isn't a huge let down or a carbon copy of the first. I can't recommend this manga enough!

Interesting story, appealing art. Is season 2 a continuation or did the story change? I wonder.
