I want to start by saying that perhaps you come to this series because of the BL category in fact thats how I came expecting the boys love but with psychological suspense. And I must say they couldnt be more wrong. Im aware that there are several pages that have it in this category and as you might be confused its actually quite far away. An Uncomfortable Truth uses very personal language about human relationships severe trauma and the importance of communication. I dare say that if it werent for the suspense element we would have a very enjoyable series of selfimprovement and personal growth. . . Script/Story: A story that begins in media res that is in the middle of an event. That kind of event that leaves you wanting to know the truth. From the beginning the reader is aware that something very bad will happen in the end evolving into constant tension as the plot gets closer and closer to that horrible outcome. One of its best factors. Because although one could say that it is a little obvious from the development of events there is always a hint of doubt Who will survive? Yoseob eliminates everyone? What is it that unleashes everything? It is in that space of doubt where everything else develops. In the middle we have a backandforth between the relationships of its characters. Actually a very small cast which for this story is a real advantage. First it presents superficial characteristics and attitudes that as we learn about the past we understand why the consequences will occur. Personalities so far apart that it is surprising to discover how they conspire. Theyre high school kids making dumb decisions like high school kids. Problems and sequences that we have always seen bullying selfishness rumors jealousy inferiority and broken families however they all revolve around the creepy atmosphere of Yeosob which gives it the perfect touch of mystery. . 120https://ccdn.lezhin.com/v2/comics/6160254495883264/episodes/5354618083213312/images/cover.jpg?updated=1548658803369width=156 120https://ccdn.lezhin.com/v2/comics/6160254495883264/episodes/5206218842963968/images/cover.jpg?updated=1548658803369width=156 115https://www.animeplanet.com/images/characters/thumbs/yurahwang147248.jpg?t=1531182100 . . Creepylight art One of the first things that may catch the readers attention is the simplicity of its drawing. A series of a few vignettes where sometimes the speech balloon stands out more than the characters own action. Muted colors few onomatopoeias and almost no physical action. Which means that the visual weight falls on the main cast and the handling of the expressed expressions. I think its a point in its favor as I said the really important characters are very few and we depend only on them to know what happens. When having a thriller series one would expect that the characters reactions and their context would rely on the visual to stand out and that is not always the case. Just as there is no overexposure of gore or explicit scenes they are actually countable but shocking and surprising enough to think: wow where did that come from? Forget about looking for dark or descriptive scenes honestly that is not the strong point of this series. But a good effort is made in the visual tools section distinctions to know the temporality of events and the change in the characters perspective in the face of a single event that connects them. The best praise is that within those same tools it plays very well when trying to find out what is real and what is happening in the minds of young people which version is a lie and which is not. . . It may be too late... Returning to one of the points of the introduction: this work could only pass as a dramatic series of selfimprovement if it were not for its final twist. Special attention is paid to topics such as forgiveness and miscommunication. Most of the initial events occur due to the protagonists bad decisions but seeing how it affects them years later is the real drama. Personal growth is not about making amends and simply offering apologies but about understanding the others position and acting accordingly. There are many important things here in looking around you and stopping clinging to a comfort zone that you know has hurt you. And only then do you forgive yourself... Its complex to explain without giving spoilers but its an incredible way to handle character development. Believe me there is it seems very superficial at first but there is a lot behind it that at the end of the work will leave you thinking. Perhaps we acted honestly too late? . 270https://66.media.tumblr.com/ec50423ad730007e599085d4b0636327/tumblrolubwdq8yV1um42ooo21280.png 270https://i.yt.com/vi/blavOoPmxLs/hq720.jpg?sqp=oaymwEhCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAxMIARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJDrs=AOn4CLACDPIngksezHxPLGRf1o6oKeg . . Conclusions It has been a real surprise to continue reading this. I really believe that if you have enough patience and interest you can discover a very wellrun and planned series. As additional information I have read in an epilogue by the author that it has been difficult for her to express the suspense effectively and a challenge to maintain a mature character... Let me tell you author that she has managed it wonderfully. It is difficult to present a light story and still have readers eagerly awaiting the end but few series have managed to do so without falling into clichd elements of the genre. I repeat that the BL or romance category bothers me a little. I know its not much but I think it can really alienate some readers because while it may be a valid interpretation to some extent it is very far from the actual message it was intended to give. Since the detail was never in presenting a lovingtoxicdependent relationship of the protagonists but in how dangerous any relationship with poor communication and insecurities can be. If you are interested forget about that label and enjoy it you will find a very good job.
