The Unquenchable Mr. Kim

The Unquenchable Mr. Kim sounds stupid and corny, I prefer K's Secret. Story: "Employee Kim Doyoon has been working for 5 years. He has one secret that he can't tell anyone else - the fact that he's a half-vampire born between a human and a vampire. One day, a single mistake turns his whole life upside down." Just from that explanation you can kind of get the gist of it. Sorry about it being so vague. I do like vampire stories, but this one, not so much. It's ok. Art: It's decent (which isn't that good). The art looks weird in the beginning but I got accustomed to it. Like the facial expressions are unappealing. The H scenes are mediocre. Characters: Kim Doyoon, the main character/uke, reminds me of Go Siwon from A Guy Like You. In a bad way. He is just too dense towards the seme's feelings. Then we have the seme, whose name I forgot so I'll just call him Director. Director is forceful and doesn't really take Doyoon's feelings into account at all. Overall: 3/5 stars A decent manga, I'm still reading it. It's bearable.

i have SO MANY mixed feelings about this story. the plot is not really that interesting, not super predictable but not creative either. the romantic plot is your average cliche + feelings and relationship developing faster than light speed. the amount of eye-rolls i made at the typical 'asking you out of nowhere to live with me' (not really asking, more like informing) or 'taking you shopping and paying all your clothes eventhough you don't want me too' or 'waking before you and making you a delicious breakfast you didn't even know i was capable of' scenes. everything was so cliché. art is good and it gets better as the chapters go, you can clearly see an evolution. characters all suck except jooyoung. seme is manipulative, controlling and gives kinda obsessed vibes. their relationship is toxic and manipulative. uke is bland, your average pushover. bread without salt. at first i didn't dislike him but as the story progressed i kinda got annoyed by him. there are times in the manhwa where i don't dislike them, others i do... like i said: mixed feelings. now jooyoung, jooyoung is the reason you should read this. not just his character design (he's so hot help, what a crush) but his personality. he's funny, charismatic, bold, caring, warm, kind-hearted.... he will pull you through this comic because you want to see him smile and happy at the end (and also see more of him because he really is super beautiful). it really is worth it to read this for him. the only interesting, emotional parts of this story are his arcs. so, my final thoughts are: this probably won't become one of your favourite comics unless you like or don't mind clichéed romantic stories and stories with nothing original happening, but it's not bad, the art is good, and it's worth it for one (1) character that deserves the world.

THIS REVIEW HOLDS SOME SPOILERS! Story line~  It defintely holds the thrill of secrets, as the main character is a 'vampire' to be exact a half blood. The storyline seems to make me confused at the moment as I don't understand the 'laws' or 'rules' for the vampires for this manga. It almost like the authors of this series just splashed it in there to make it all jumbled up. I don't doubt the fact that all will be revealed soon, it's just it would be better to reveal some information about vampires early on in the series, to make the audience more understanding and infixuated on the manga.  Art~ The art is quite good, the use of colour brings a easier understanding of the characters emotions. I particuarly like this form of the make of the characters as they are clearly more sharper looking depending on persosn, such as the Doyoon Kim as his feautures are more softer compared to Kangwoo Lee as his fetures are defintely sharper and bolder. Characters~ The characters seem to be treading well in term of story line, Kangwoo Lee is actually quite bold and cunning. I believe there are no problems with character at the moment. However I find them predictable. I recommend it to if you enjoy to see BL on every scene and are a die hard fan to yaoi.
