Honestly I went into this expecting yet another typical manhwa. Yknow the usual fighting some overpowered main character maybe a sprinkle of trauma and boomcookiecutter plot. But something about the THIS caught my eye so I figured Eh why not? Gave it a shot. A few chapters in and I was like Man I was WRONG. Not just wrongWRONG wrong. Like ten times wrong. lol
All jokes aside though this manhwa turned out to be crazy goodlike top tier why isnt this more popular? kinda good. I cant recommend it enough. But okaylet me explain why you should actually read it.
If youre tired of the same old recycled plots and youre looking for something with actual depth something that hits different then youve gotta try this one. The story in its simplest form? It follows a father whose daughter Lee Hyena tragically dies because of insanely brutal bullying. And this isnt just schoolyard namecallingwere talking fullon torment Like forcing her to feed used cigarettes straight into her mouth eventually causing stomach cancer and still they didnt let go. The worst part? The bullies have connectionsrich families high status yknow the type that think theyre untouchable. The dad knows that no matter how clear the evidence is the legal system wont bring him justice. So what does he do?
He adopts a psychopath. Yeah you read that righta coldblooded revengedriven girl named Karma to carry out what he knows he legally cant. Sounds intense? It is. But trust me the more the story unfolds the deeper it gets. You think you know where its headed and then boomthe emotional gut punches keep coming.
And look Im not even the type who gets emotionally invested in characters like that. I mean Ive read a decent amount of manhwas and usually Im just there for the entertainment. But this? This one hit me HARD. The only other time I felt this messed up was after was I Want To Eat Your Pancreas and Your Lie In April. That level of sadness? Yeah its here too. The scenes where Hyena is getting bullied? Man I almost shed tears. My blood was literally boiling with anger. Its so painful but so well done that you cant look away.
And when Karma starts delivering revenge? Oh my god the satisfaction is REAL. But even then I caught myself thinking Isnt this a little too far? But right when that thought pops up the author hits you with more of Hyenas backstory more of the pain she endured and suddenly? That revenge feels just right.
I swear if youre someone who loves watching justice served in the most cathartic way possible this manhwa is your next obsession.
Also quick headsupits not just nonstop violence. There are moments of calm little wholesome scenes that remind you that the MC is still human. And how much the father loved his daughter yet his grief for not being aware she was bullied. And yeah theres a layer of business concepts corporate themes and social dynamics woven into the story too. So dont go in expecting constant bloodshedit balances intensity with emotional moments and clever writing.
And let me just sayI binged the entire first season in ONE DAY. Thats how hooked I was. Im waiting all crazy for season 2. And the ending of Season 1? Bro. It left me smiling broken satisfied and emptyall at once.
If youve read a lot of manhwa and youre bored with the clichs please give this one a chance. Its different. Its bold. Itll punch you in the gut and still leave you asking for more.
and yh the titles fits perfectly for the story: A SENSE OF AMUSEMENT
This is my rating for SEASON 1
