Side notes: For some reason I can't shake the image of DOKGO away while reading this manhwa. The concept is quite similar and the point where everything starts from. Still they are set a bit different way. DOKGO is a High school drama while Double casting characters are few years older age 24-25. Art is good for a webtoon and charas seem well thought so it works as a rerun series. The time it was written affects a lot to the plot and setting which uses common ways to enforce the text that were typical at the time but aren't so much used today due of their old fashion feel. The 10 first chapters give you already a general feel for the manhwa which in my books doesn't rise much above the average level of story but maybe it changes later? We'll see that if continuing reading 'cause there are plenty of chapters to read.^-^

P.S. I don't know how much the new serialized version differs from the original 'cause I haven't seen the original manhwa book version before hand.
