Meet Dong-hae: a meek and introverted person who finds himself growing more and more weary under the fists of his abusive lover, and Su-hyun: a handsome and successful dentist who cares little about what others think of him and even less about the private affairs of strangers. As people from completely opposite worlds, the two would normally have nothing to do with one another… but when Dong-hae comes in for his dentist appointments with broken teeth and a bruised face, Su-hyun just can’t seem to leave him alone. Together, could this unlikely pair find a whole new love that may prove greater than the sum of its parts? lz4t

I'm on chapter 25 and haven't really been hooked yet. I'm usually a sucker for melodramatic, dark romances with shocking subject matter. Despite the intense topics (abuse, etc) the pacing and characters are somewhat dull.
Dong-hae doesn't seem to have any distinguishable personality or inner life, even in his POV. Su-hyun is more complex, and even has some self-awareness about the nuance of getting involved with someone in an abusive situation, but he's still not very compelling.
Something very dramatic happened in the most recent chapter, but it wasn't much of a surprise, and it wasn't presented in a very interesting way. I hope that the narrative gets more exciting as it goes.
