Chapitre 73: Spotlight#81: I Love Yoo
Have you ever wanted something out of the norm? If so then I love Yoo might by Quimchee might be the place for you? Let's discuss one of the most popular webtoons with one of my favorite females in webtoon.
Summary
After a very messy divorce, Shin Ae has 2 things on her mind. Pass through school and try to support her struggling dad. However after accidentally bumping into a young man, Shin Ae will soon realize that her ordinary and dull life is about to get a lot more hectic with the appearance of a strange family.
Characters
Shin-Ae: Our main heroine, Shin Ae is a classic tomboy. She has a love of food and a hatred for all things romance after her parents divorce. She is rather introverted and standoffish, making approaching her a difficult situation. However this hides a far kinder, more sensitive personality that shows that reveals that Shin Ae has very low self esteem and a sabotaging selfishness. That being said she has shown a impressive loyalty to the people she does count as friends. Over the course of the story she does learn to better open up to more people and stand up for herself.
Yeong Gi: The youngest brother of the rich Hirhara family, Yeong gi is a rather friendly,open and positive individual who struggles to make his identity known amongst his rather eccentric family. His kind and honorable personality has granted him plenty of friends throughout the story. However the stress from coming from such an illustrious family has often made him headstrong and stubborn when angered.
Kousuke: Yeong Gi's straight-laced, high strung older brother of the Hirahara family. Kousuke by comparison is straight-laced, proper and rudely short-tempered to others he thinks is annoying. In a way this makes Kousuke a sort of perfect child to his family as he seeks to become the company heir. Even at the cost of all else like his social skills,and awkwardness is rather piss poor as he needs validation from others even when he pushed himself to the brink.
Overview
Honestly don't know if I should call this a romance, more so a k-drama but that is just my personal take. While Shin Ae does interact with the brothers a lot, Kousuke is a little old with no romantic interest and Yeong Gi has a girlfriend that is nice to him as of right now so it seems everyone is locked down. But I personally don't mind this since what we get is something far more compelling. The relationship and overall interactions amongst the trio is endlessly entertaining as each character feels so different and provides for some interesting dynamics. This has lead the series to being proabably one of the funniest I've read. At first glance Shin Ae only gets chance meetings with the brothers but over the course of the story she becomes impossibly intertwined with them and is better for it despite the challenges that come with it.
This webtoon is the epitome of a slow burn but that isn't always a bad occurrence as we further delve into the separate worlds the trio lives in. However a slow burn isn't always a bad thing as we see the development and peeling back of all 3 characters start to shine. It also doesn't hurt that I Love Yoo has a strong supporting cast of characters that also get plenty of interactions off each other. It's diverse enough to remember almost every character, and we get plenty of great development all around. While I Love Yoo has a relatively streamline art style with thin outlines and simple backgrounds, some of the title cards and art outside of the main series is honestly beautiful with the music adding a lot.
However amongst the very light-hearted fun and comedy, there are some serious themes thrown around. From divorce, alcoholism and elitism are all common trends in the WEBTOON to the point that I truly wish the best for our young protags who have to figure it all out.
Epilogue
I Love Yoo like unordinary is a very popular WEBTOON that has remained strong throughout its run. It may not be your traditional romance and a little overrated. It's still a story worth reading. I hope that it comes back with a bang. But until that day. Let's focus the spotlight somewhere else.
