* Important Press Coverage - review
"The art style is minimalist but slightly reminiscent of the style of Frank Miller with Sin City and the Batman series, offering a film noir style that matches the darkness of the story." - 148apps.
"It is this feeling of suspense which is the strength of the App. The bare bones of the plot are two serial killers who start to date each other. The opportunities for tension are obvious: not only the tension of when each will get their next victim but also of whether each is assessing the other as the next victim – and if so who will make the first move." - London Korean Links.
"Hwang’s style is sparse, both visually and narratively, creating an environment that feels both intimate and detached at the same time. While the limited use of color suggests a similarly subdued emotional palette, the lack of detail (both background and foreground) brings each emotional beat into sharp focus." - Manga Bookshelf.
"This gives the reader the ultimate control of the story and it’s pace. The dark noire feel of the story gives an ominous tone and keeps you anxious yet yearning for more. It’s a complete interactive graphic novel, and with it’s unique built in reader, it’s certainly a great deal." - The Smartphone App Review
"The art style is very simple (in full color) but it feels like it was intentionally drawn that way. The presentation of the comic itself is very nicely done, each panel fills the whole screen (so there's no need to constantly readjust the page to read the comic) and panels that are too large for this appear to have been planned this way and make nice use of the pan effect." - Narrative Investigation
"Everything from the film-noir style graphics to the shocking but subtle back-story oozes coolness. I don’t think I’ve ever read a comic which is packed with as much suspense as Hwang Joon Ho’s Ill Fated Relationship; it is simply beautiful (in a dark and disturbing way)." - iPadappcafe

""The videos and screenshots certainly show off a great looking style that will hopefully provide a pretty mature and dark experience. It’ll certainly make a change from the more Western offerings of the likes of D.C and Marvel." - 148apps.
"The black and white style of the characters with only certain parts of the world being coloured means the imagery looks fascinating, so lets hope that the promising premise for the story is fulfilled and manages to keep the seemingly intense atmosphere intact." - The Smartphone App Review
