Chapter 37
Jimmy Kwak x Ethan Hyun
(Voice actor) x (Editor Department leader)
Ethan has been incharged with selecting/interview a VA, and ethan decided on Jimmy. He had an incident with Jimmy at the train, where he bumped into him and jimmy injured his tongue.
[First of all I want to start with a fact that by far from out of all the manhwas I've read, this one is my all time favorite as of yet this 2019.
The start of the manhwa we are quickly introduced to the main character which is Ethan (tbh I want their korean names damn it) who was listening to an audio story in which his Idol, Jimmy (korean names please) is the voice actor and Ethan is clearly a fan of him. I love the flow of the story, how we are introduced to the side characters with depth and we see that they have their own personality that doesn't revolve around the main couple (I love their fierce protectiveness for Ethan tho, that boy needs more love)
I also love how this manhwa gives us a view of editors, artists and a lot of people that work in the literature/art industry are really working their ass off and that this kind of work isn't some easy business. Hell even arranging audios from voice actors/actresses isn't something to be trifled with. Deep respect for these kind of people.
I also want to point out that I'm deeply glad that the love story of this isn't rushed or cliche. The characters did really took their time (35 chapters) getting to know each other. It's not a love or dick at first sight. They had to know each other first and discover quirks from each other before they even felt being comfortable to one another. A process that doesn't happen often in romantic relationships.
I love the fact that we are only given glimpses of the two main character's pasts. It's like the author wants us to put these glimpses together and make our own assumptions. At first, we viewed Ethan as a happy fanboying stressed out guy, but as we audience further discover his past and true personality, our viewpoint of him slowly changes every chapter. Same can be said to Ethan. It makes you want to know more from these two.
And lastly I am quite intrigued with the two main character's internal problems. How Ethan seems to be suffering from a past trauma, depression, trust issues and past abuse. And Jimmy seems to be suffering from anxiety, family issues and also a possible past trauma from being stalked. I'm glad that some people out there can relate to these characters in some way. I would love to find out how the author will handle these problems in the future chapters]
