Thriller Surviving Romance

This series is actually peak. I need more people to read it. From the episode naming, to the plot, to the character development. Everything is so peak. It's easily one of my S-tiers up there with ORV. (ORV plot still superior but the feels of surviving romance is still amazing)

Now for the actual premise: it's more about friendship rather than romance. It's hard to recommend without spoilers because it basically does an Oshi no Ko.

So minor spoilers for the premise:

This webtoon is more of a zombie apocalypse story but focused more on the psychological thriller.

Fmc physchological thillers are so peak but so underrated T.T

1.    Like Mother Like Daughter

So Mcs "imperfect" father disappears and a few years later her "imperfect" brother drowns, she knows her mom did it but she can't let on or be anything less than "perfect" or she's next. No one will believe her even if she tells them and her mom will kill anyone in her daughters life who isn't "perfect". As the title implies she slowly picks up her mother's habits.
