Click 5
December 14, 2007
One thing I forgot to mention is that, with the exception of the childhood friend character, there is something extremely unlikable about all the characters. They can all be at least a little abrasive, and all of them are manipulative in their own ways. These are not goody two-shoes waiting around for people to notice them (though Heewon sort of played one for awhile as a ruse). These people all come to take what they want. It’ll be interesting to see what will happen, because they obviously aren’t all going to get their way.
I feel bad not using names consistently in these Click reviews, but I cannot keep two of the main character’s names straight (Joonha, who is the main character, and Jinhoo, who is his childhood friend). It doesn’t help that sometimes their names are reversed in the books as well. It was better reading two volumes together though, because I think that helped the names stick to the right characters.
In other news, yes, I still want Jinhoo and Joonha to get together. Things were set up here so it looked like Jinhoo might stick to his girlfriend and Joonha may fall for Taehyun (the manly man he admires), but those were just hints. Really, the stuff between Jinhoo and Joonha was all just hints too, and anything is speculation at this point, but… man, I want that pair to happen so bad.
Once again, not too much plot, but we find out a lot of backstory from Jinhoo’s girlfriend as she explains how she started dating Jinhoo and how the two have always acted towards one another. It was interesting, and it helped support my theory… but really, something insane could happen like having Jinhoo wind up with Heewon, and it wouldn’t really surprise me much from this series. It’s just so good.

I completely agree with you on your views. I found that there wasnt (much) of a plot, but the series itself utilizes all of the emotions and characteristics that make up all of my favorite expressions. This series has kept me interested from beginning to end (or rather, to the most recent volume… -_-”) I also, wish that Jinhoo will form a romantic relationship with Joonha, and it seems to be heading that way. All of the twists and turns of this comic has me wondering where its going to end up. I saw the cover of the 8th comic and wonder if that means something important, if it does then I’m not particularly liking where it could, possibly, be leading.
From the very beginning, I wished for Joonha and Jinhoo to be together, I didnt care one way or the other, girl or not a girl, I wanted those two to be together, because they have such chemistry. Or rather, your (theory) is in agreement with my views. I really love this series, and I know, regardless, that I wont be disappointed by the outcome, because despite what (may) happen, I love the way that she (Youngran Lee) presents her characters.
The hilarity and the seriousness rolled into one big emotional roller coaster is enticing in that way.

I’m glad to see that other people are following the series, I honestly haven’t seen too much discussion about it other than on the Netcomics site, thanks for commenting. It really is one of my favorites right now, and I’m glad to see that at least one other person agrees with where I want the series to go ^_^
