Artwork: The artwork is quite good. The author predominantly uses black, white and grey in his manhwa, which suits the story perfectly. He uses 3D drawing to draw emphasis. He uses colors to show magic and gracefully illustrates that magic is nothing but illusion.
My Opinion: Absolutely loved it. It was amazing how the story unfolds slowly. The characters were truly realistic and relatable. The ending when Yun Ai asks “Do you believe in Magic?” It melts my heart.
