Publisher Description
"For this I burned my soul... Live eternally with a broken heart."
As war rips through the Tang Dynasty, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake, Baek-On and Ho-Yeon continue to eke out a living as traveling exorcists. While confronting vengeful grudges and putting to rest the lingering spirits of those long dead, Baek-On reflects on the tragic curse that led him to turn his back on the company of the living and follow in his father's footsteps. While the world seems to crumble around him, Baek-On strives to keep moving forward, even if he must do so alone. Follow Ho-Yeon and Baek-On as they journey on in the final volume of Time and Again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A manhwa for older teens mixing history, fantasy, and horror, Yun's latest series gets the job done. Taking place in the Tang Dynasty, this first volume of short stories features traveling exorcists for hire, Baek-On and Ho-Yeon. So far, there's no strong plot, but it feels as if one is building. For now, the two main characters alternately run into creepy and otherworldly happenings, or have the creepy and otherworldly brought to them. Baek-On seems to like the bottle more than anything, and Ho-Yeon has a certain delicate sensitivity. It's only when people are grappling with a malevolent spirit or terrible curse that the two exorcists become part of the tale. Things are invariably not as they first appear, as perhaps a malevolent spirit has reason for its feelings, or a curse revoked only causes worse heartache. The story of the curse is an especially intriguing and dark one, suggesting life and death questions for the reader. Yun's schoolgirl tale, Cynical Orange, is quite different from what she's attempting here. As a story of ironic cosmic twists, Yun gives readers a haunting tale.
