The Yang and Kim families were once bitter rivals—gangs disguised as construction companies whose feud was fueled by blood and greed. When a powerful new corporation threatens both sides, the families form a reluctant alliance, sealing it with an arranged marriage between their children, Hyejin and Moogahng. But their union is anything but romantic. Hyejin’s heart is closed off by past trauma, while Moogahng hides his intentions behind an impenetrable wall of mystery. As violence, loyalty, and family pressure close in around them, the two must decide whether their marriage will remain a transaction born of necessity—or become something real in a world that has never shown them kindness.
Before Death Do Us Apart thrives on emotional restraint. Instead of dramatic declarations, it focuses on tension—what’s left unsaid, what can’t yet be trusted, and how two damaged people navigate intimacy under pressure.
Hyejin’s guarded nature feels authentic, shaped by survival rather than coldness, while Moogahng’s quiet presence keeps readers guessing. Their relationship unfolds not through grand romance, but through moments of understanding forged in danger and silence.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy dark romance, arranged marriages with emotional realism, and stories where love must fight against violence and fear. Before Death Do Us Apart asks whether two people forced together can learn to choose each other—before everything falls apart.
