I'm a huge fan of the manhwa. The first time I read it, I literally couldn't go to sleep until I caught up which was pretty deep into the story. I think it's probably one of the best manhwa/manga/comic ever.
The anime is just not doing it justice so far though. People who are watching this for the first time who haven't read it are going to get such a worse experience mostly due to the pacing.
The first episode made it seem like such a cliche Shonen type of story and I think it's mostly due to the pacing. The manhwa has JJK levels of pacing while the anime is almost one piece level in comparison.
The first 2 episodes, or at least the scenes involving Sung should've easily been 1 episode. It would've concluded that small fight and got people hooked.
Also, the drama. Obviously when reading it you almost create your own tension but man it's a whole different world with the anime. The music playing during the fight completely throws it off. In the comic the statue room is extremely tense but in the anime it just plays out like a standard anime.
Hopefully this gets better but right now I highly advise anyone to read it instead. It is worlds better.
