You’re So Cool 6

I loved this series so much that I forgive it its really boring final volume that was almost completely packed with Seung-Ha having talks with himself as a little boy about being abandoned by his mother. There’s quite a bit of him hooking up with Nan-Woo, too, and a resolution to the Jay/Hyun-Ho romance that I liked even better than what was going on between the main couple here.
Basically, yeah. Lots of whining from Seung-Ha. There’s a lot of sad things about his mother, and about how he needed to be loved and needed to find himself… blah blah blah. Lots of talks about Nan-Woo being there for him, and a couple nice reunions. But I wish there had been about 80% less of Seung-Ha talking about himself.
In case you were getting bored, Nan-Woo’s mother rolls in and makes things awesome again. I know on some level it’s kind of despicable that it’s implied that she beats up Nan-Woo for little things, but she’s just so unbelievably amazing awesome that I forgive her the rough love, especially since Nan-Woo seems to get in on the action too, and dish it out to Seung-Ha as well as she gets it.
There’s also a pretty great finale, considering how underwhelming the rest of the ending was. It may or may not include the following dialogue: “I wanted to say this from the beginning. You’re so cool! No matter what!” “I know.”
Yes. So girly.
On a final note, my roommate has this bad habit of ruining my Korean comics by picking them up and commenting on how big the guys are in them compared to everything else. He calls them “land of the giants.” And then I see it when I’m reading them. In this one especially. Seung-Ha is huge. I can’t unsee it now.
Lol.
I think I love your roommate.
I finished this series but damn the main couple was annoying. I guess its the feminist in me, but I didn’t like the semi-abusive relationship between Seung-Ha and Nan-Woo.
I pretty much finished it for Jay and Hyun-Ho cuz they were just too cute.

The semi-abuse didn’t bother me so much between Seung-Ha and Nan-Woo only because they both seemed to dish it out equally, and Nan-Woo maybe a little bit more, but it might have bothered me more had it not been so overt between Nan-Woo and her mom.
I was sad that there wasn’t more focus on Jay and Hyun-Ho. They did get a lot of cute scenes in the last volume, though.
