Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid

Honestly one of the most tragic, beautiful, well written, heart wrenching stories I've ever read. Every character was written with such depth, they all had their stories and it was portrayed beautifully. It is realistic and not as full of fantasy as what I usually like to read. I've learnt so much about the history and the lives people led during these times. About the passion and love somebody has for their country and what they are willing to sacrifice. I hated some characters at first, but as I kept reading, I understood and sympathised with their choices. The art, the story, the characters areall top tier.

This is one of the best manhwas I have read and I have read quite a few. The plot was amazingly paced with many heart-wrenching twists, I cannot elaborate more without spoiling so I will leave that. But this manhwa is honestly amazing, I would 100% recommend it... It shattered my heart into millions of tiny pieces but the art and storyline are so amazing that I could not stop reading despite this. I suggest you read this and other manhwas written by the author as they are all amazingly illustrated and written. I cannot stress how much I love both this author and this manhwa,I will be re-reading this many more times and I just know that I will never get tired of reading this manhwa, even if it brings me to tears every time.
