So instead of feverishly studying, unlike the other med students who are all aiming for H1s, I ended up reading Let Dai all day....... I've been meaning to read it for years, but only at times of procrastination is there really time to.

Spoilers ahead and essay-form ranting )

LOL, I remember reading this and thinking: You really can go too deep and draw the pleasure out of reading porn.

It's not even porn. No one seems to think of sex in this manhwa, except for the gang-bangers (and that was a heavy duty metaphor job too).

Ok, well I was sort of expecting it, ok? *furtive, shifty eyes*

I enjoy your review!
I am tempted to read to see just how annoying all the melodramatic angst really is... if I have time.
It's such a shame when people do nihilist fiction badly.

Shoujo just ruins everything. ):
And it's not epic and amazing like Angel Sanctuary was. It's just immature and stupid. BAH.
But yeah now I can I have read it. xD

Hahaha, I pretty much agree with you, although I've only read a couple of volumes of the series.

I thought the masochism angle was kind of interesting, and at times the main character seemed to almost grasp how fucked up he himself was for idolizing a sociopath who isn't even particularly charismatic. But ultimately the interesting bits are swamped by the schmoopy melodrama. I didn't find any of the characters likable or even very sympathetic :(

I guess I'm just not one for slow paced, badly written - I doubt it's the translation because Korean girl manhwa tend to be always overwritten, melodrama crap.

Well I know many people like this series. I'm just expressing my opinions.
