A Review on 1230s Save Me https://cdn.lezhin.com/v2/comics/4592213947056128/images/wide?updated=1542780005478 Korean webcomics are a hit in every part of the world. They are also referred to as Webtoons. The name is given that because it is usually posted online and they take the form of comics however the layout of it isnt the traditional layout for comics/manga since this one is read through scrolling vertically. Such known webtoons around the world are from known companies such as NAVER Sinui Taphttps://anilist.co/manga/85143/SinuiTap/ Hurejasikhttps://anilist.co/manga/86964/Hurejasik/ Noblessehttps://anilist.co/manga/59983/Noblesse/ Kakao Na Honjaman Level Uphttps://anilist.co/manga/105398/NaHonjamanLevelUp/ and Lezhin more known for BL series such as Killing Stalkinghttps://anilist.co/manga/97897/KillingStalking/ BJ Alexhttps://anilist.co/manga/100885/BJAlex/ Yahwacheophttps://anilist.co/manga/111621/Yahwacheop/. More webtoons are being created these days however not all do not get the attention it deserves as usually it strays from the trend happening in the company. An example of this is 1230s Save Me. Information Title: Guwonhasoseo / Save Me / Author: 1230 Serialization: Lezhin Comics Webtoon Genres: Action Mystery Psychological Thriller Self note: I find this undertheradar since it quite strays from the current trends of Korean Webtoons. STORY Note: According to the authors notes Chapter 63.5 this is more of a thriller than action so if youre looking for action the action may appear as a subgenre. The story talks about a smart high school sophomore who is struggling to fit in the class because hes bullied by several classmates. At one time he meets someone odd and the story starts from there. I honestly like the thriller genre and this series does that great honestly. The suspense and disgust are there. Despite the kind of slow pacing in the first half finishing up until the end is quite rewarding. The ride isnt very wild but the essence and concept are both great. CHARACTERS The main characters are a smart physically disabled guy and a puppy guy. Their characters may seem plain and typical but if you keep reading I promise this expectation becomes better. Do you hate bullies? Good You should hate them and you shouldnt do that. And unsurprisingly the bullies are the antagonists. Take note that bullying and teasing are two separate things. The difference is that bullying is teasing but youre crossing the line. I gotta admit but the way they bully the main characters is THRILLING. I was bullied before but the intensity was softer than in this webtoon. I can say that I feel the pain. Amazing cast. VISUALS Should I still comment here? I mean we all know the art of most webtoons are topnotch and modern. That is also the reason why webtoons are a big hit in almost every country. ENJOYMENT Overall I really indulged in this one. I was still able to do my remaining academic requirements for this semester. This isnt a boring read to be honest. This is also a bonus for thriller fans out there. I do not have anything more to comment on so Ill just finish it quickly. Overall Rating: 85 Summarized this has a great story a great cast and great art. The essence of a thriller is a good punch. If you may find this slowpaced its okay I think its normal. If youve reached the end I am asking you to read this webtoon. Dont be shy and give it a try.
