The Unquenchable Mr. Kim by Morak

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

Mr. Doyun Kim's a pretty quiet, unassuming guy at the office — with a big secret. He's actually half vampire! But without full vamp status, he can't drink blood and has to seek out some human essence (read: sex! and more sex!) to live. Drained and desperate, he finds a "special" companion but everything goes wrong. Now he's caught up in a one-sided office relationship, and most importantly, it's not working!!! Will Doyun survive and keep his secret intact?

My Rate: 8 (www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/unquenchable_kim)

Lets start immediately with the obvious: the artwork in The Unquenchable Mr. Kim is pretty much awesome. It concentrates mainly on the characters, not only the main ones, also the side characters are very well designed, up to the most insignificant ones, like Doyun and Gangwoo's coworkers. Actually at the beginning, they are sort of like alien, with these big eyes and strange features, but it seems like the artists got the sense of the story after few chapters and from then on they are perfect (or maybe it's me that got used to it). Anyway, the story has some holes, like what is the essence that Doyun has to feed from human during sex? it's something impalpable like life force (like succubus or incubus) or it's semen? I know it's a trivial details but makes me wonder. And then how is that, if you drink the blood of a pureblood you become a vampire that doesn't need to feed on human blood? So the one drinking a pureblood blood in the story why hasn't become a vampire? But trust me, these are all trivial details that don't defect the story as a whole.
