This manhwa easily slid itself to my favorite reads ever. I just finished reading this in a day and am still in my feels so here are the reasons you should read it too: 1. The most amazing writing. This manhwa has the perfect mix of romance mystery and fantasy and angst. The way it jumps from an emotional scene to a light scene with excellent humor makes the storytelling even better. Despite the entire story taking place only on a ship it never got boring. Flashbacks were inserted within emotional conversations and the slow revelation of the backstories behind the characters were perfectly inserted. I personally am not a big fan of a story with many flashbacks because it tends to get confusing but this manhwa did a clean job of jumping timelines and point of views. An even more interesting aspect of the writing is how you wont exactly know if the characters are telling the truth. This is a key theme of the story as evident with the title. It is up to you to figure out which parts of the narratives are true and which are not. In this way the manhwa managed to never have a dull moment AT ALL. I am not even exaggerating. Even I found dry moments in my other favorite manhwas but this one really already hooked me from episode 1. 2. The fleshedout characters. If youre the type who doesnt like it when a character is solely for decoration this is definitely a read for you. All the characters have personalities that are not just for showtheir actions are reasonable within their own experiences. The male lead does not exist solely to fawn over the female lead or vice versa. No one is overly strong and invincible. Trauma scenes were portrayed well. Even important side characters who are close with the leads have consistent and interesting personalities all of them diverse and so very human. 3. The interesting forbidden love dynamic. While this is certainly not the only hero x prisoner story out there I believe the backgrounds of our main characters breathed life to this trope. If youre looking for romance that hits right in the feels that will make you feel like your gut was punched make your heart throb in all the right ways I 100 recommend this to you. 4. The perfect ending. I can truly truly say that the ending was not done simply for fanservice unlike other stories I have read. Every action made perfect sense and the build up for these events to take place was wonderfully done.
