My Latest Fix: Nobody Knows




I'm renaming my recommended manga segment to my latest fix. I think it just sounds better. Basically it's just manga I'm enjoying recently but they haven't released enough for me to determine whether the overall story is good.


Name: Nobody Knows
Author & Artist: Lee Hyeon-sook
Status: Ongoing
Chapters: 14
Genres: Drama, Romance, Shoujo, Supernatural
Plot:
The “self bully” Ban has a normal enough life, and where divorced parents aren’t that uncommon, her life becomes shadowed in mystery when her mother, Eun-Joo, suddenly brings their “distant relative” Jin-Whan home to live with them. Ban’s mother would always avoid the topic of her family, so who is this strange boy? Are they really relatives? What torturous secrets does her mother’s past hold? And what do the sudden strange happens that follow in Jin-Whan’s wake mean? Would a better question not be who is he, but what?

Overview:
I think it's definitely worth a read and I really dislike manhwas (korean comics). They are generally overdone and melodramatic like k-dramas. I guess I just have a prejudice against them but I know I shouldn't generalize Although the good ones I've read tend to have a dark ambient to them, being a wuss in horror I find it weird how I like crime, thrillers and dark ambient things, I just find them intriguing.


SPOILER ALERT. The whole vampire genre is overdone and stupid but the vampires keep mostly true to the classic vampires, just put in a modern setting.

The Mother has some real problems, like she needs to go see a psychiatrist or something and takes some pills. I get she suffered from trauma but her attachment to the main guy, Oh Jin Whan is unhealthy and makes me want to slap some sense to her. She justs pisses me off, but not enough to drop it.

Main female, great for now. She's likable and relate-able and not stupid.
just read it for yourself and give me your opinions :D.
