Wann - Snow Queen, vol. 01-02
I am so embarrassed I read this. After I had watched the entire drama too!
Tae-Woong is a scruffy boxer who used to be a genius mathematician until a traumatic event. Bora is a chronically ill and suicidal girl who closes herself off from everyone to keep herself from getting hurt. This is amazingly less melodramatic than the drama based on it, but that is probably only because there are only two volumes of manhwa and 16 episodes of drama. They had to fill those hours with something, preferably something as tear-jerking as possible!
Um. I do not even know what to say about this! I am not objective at all. I love the use of "The Snow Queen," and outside of that, I largely roll my eyes at the various twists and turns Bora and Tae-Woong go through even as I eat it all up with a spoon! This includes things like Bora thinking, "I hate you for being nice to me! If you hadn't been nice to me, I wouldn't have had to... feel!" or Tae-Woong thinking, "I always thought falling in love would be comfortable, not... like this!"
Also, there are shenanigans in which Bora runs off and Tae-Woong must run after her as her trusty chauffeur, last-minute tear-jerker plot twists, multiple suicide attempts, and several collapses.
I probably had entirely too much fun reading this, but I don't care!
