It’s the title of a Korean manga. I fell in love with this manga so hard that I want to re-read it again and again. It was written by Han Yu-rang. I don’t know if he/she is a girl/ boy but I give him/her two thumbs up. It is a massive project. I read it to reduce the use of paper.
The story starts with two orphanes who were only kids. The older one was 8 years old and the younger one was around 5. They were called Frog (old) and Pig (young). They sold gums on the train and give the money to a street gang boss (called jjang in Korea) who owned them. One day, Pig was really sick and it was winter. After selling gums, they went to a restroom but got caught by a bad guy and all the money they earned was taken by the guy. They got back to where they lived in fear. The jjang knew what happened and asked them to stay out in the cold weather. The young one was sick but the jjang didn’t care. He even used violence to make them stay outside. After hours, finally the young passed away. The old one was really upset. He couldn’t live well. One day, some guys asked him to go with them. He was brought to a big house owned by a chairman of a big company. He was going to be used as a bodyguard. But the chairman knew that Frog was actually a girl. He wanted to send her back but she didn’t want to. She kept on struggling. She didn’t want to come back. She wanted to survive so much. Because of her tough decision, the chairman let her stay in two conditions. She would be trained as a bodyguard and she had to keep her identity as a girl. She has to be a boy.
After a year of training, her name became Suh Hyun-bin. She dressed like a boy and then again because of her toughness, she was trusted to guard the chairman only grand duaghter, Yun Yae-ha. They grew together. Hyun-bin always be Yae-ha’s bodyguard as a boy. She was really strong and fight like a pro. When they got into high school, they met a jjang of a school gang namd Red Scorpion. The leader was Yun-ha. He was a good looking and also strong guy. He lost interest in love life because of a bitter past. But he then got along with Hyun-bin. Both Yae-ha and Hyun-bin love him. But, since Yae-ha is a girl and Hyun-bin was known as a boy, Yun-ha is kind only to Hyun-bin. They became like brothers. The relationship was kinda awkward actually. Yun-ha isn’t a gay but he really fell for Hyun-bin without realizing.
For surviving, Hyun-bin was forced to lose her feeling. He kept on rejecting Yun-ha’s love although they were both love each other. She kept on insisting Yun-ha to date Yae-ha. Their love never dies, though. One day, Hyun-bin was forced to live the house and given a task to join a gangster as a pawn by Chairman Yun to his enemy. He met Chun Bi-rak. He was a good guy actually but he lost a lot and had no direction to go. So he just joined a gangster led by the enemy of Chairman Yun. Hyun-bin and Bi-rak lived together but Bi-rak didn’t know if she was a girl until an accident which happened to Hyun-bin. After that, they slept seperately and he treated her more like a girl.
He loved her so much but he was afraid of love. He though he wasn’t deserved love that much. He knew that Hyun-bin loved Yun-ha so much though they were seperated. It was Bi-rak birthday. He never used to celebrate it but he did when he was with Hyun-bin. He asked her to dress as a woman and treated her a lot. He gave her gift and the best one was a wedding dress. She was really beautiful and fit the dress perfectly. For some reason, Hyun-bin was really touched and realized that she was love him too. She wanted to give herself and tried to forget Yun-ha. But Bi-rak didn’t want to. Until one day, after doing a mission, Bi-rak was stabbed in his abdoment for protecting Hyun-bin. On the way to the hospital, he died. It was a terrible shock and big lost for Hyun-bin. She lived miserably and stresful. She blamed herself for Bi-rak’s death and she realized it at the end that she loved him too (although I think she didn’t love Bi-rak as much as she loved Yun-ha).
After five years, she was back to her girl’s appearance. She lived with a woman as her mother. Her identity was changed into Suh Hyun-ryu. All things she got through when she was young was eared except the memory of Bi-rak. She got some plastic surgery and hypnotist to forget her past. Until one day she met Yun-ha again. I think they were destined together. And yes, after going through a lot of obstacles they finally get together. They had 4 kids, two sons and two daughters.
I can’t tell the story in detail. It’ll take a lot of time. The series finished in volume 32. It was a long story but trust me it teaches you a lot. Survival, strong convictions, toughness, friendships, sincere love, and more. It’ll make you cry. It also teach you how to deal with pain. How to be grateful for what God’s given you. How to share love and kindness for the poor.
Try to search it on mangafox.com if I’m not mistaken. It’s the complete one. Read it. I’m sure you won’t regret. By the way, the drawing is good too. I’m sure Han Yu-rang other projects are good too. Can’t wait to find the others J
