He grants invincibility to an arrogant and hot-blooded detective who was on the verge of death after a run-in with gangsters, and makes a former company CEO who became destitute after his company went bankrupt, rich! The God makes a bet with himself, and sits back to watch how those two people deal with their new lives...
Review: It's still a bit early on this as I've only read 3 chapters. But it's intriguing in that these gifts to these 2 humans do not bode well. It's suspenseful for the reader to find out if the sudden reversal of fortune will proove how ugly human nature can be. Already, at the start, I can't find myself liking the two lead characters. I’m assuming that “Left Right” refers to the 2 faced demon’s choice of bets.
The artwork is interesting, but it's the plot that keeps the reader looking forward to more. Unlike many other webtoon author/artists (who are mostly young rookies to the trade of drawing manhwa), the team working this series are veterans in the print trade that have had a couple hits in the past. However, w/ the decline of printed manhwa industry, offline proffesionals are migrating to the interenet. So w/ the incorporating of these veterans I am expecting a lot from series w/ teams of such calibre.
