Review


What I want to review is a naver webtoon, "Samdanhapche Kim Chang Nam" which means, "Triunification Kim Chang Nam". The writer is "Ha Il Gwon" who have drawn best of best webtoons: "An nara suma nara(Abracadabra)", "The god of Bath", "Palpitation-thump,thump,thump" and etc. In my opinion, "Samdanhapche Kim Chang Nam" is the best among all other webtoons, and also among his own works. 



This is SF Youthhood comic as the teenagers are main characters, leading the story.
This webtoon contains humor in accordance with sadness, impression and warmth.
Also reminds us of the world, darkened with countercurrent to what the world supposed to be. The people who are warm and right, get hurt and considered weak and foolish in the basic sense. We get to discover contrasts in the robot and human; rasing the question what is really being a human.  Also small things, such as the true meaning of presents, are reconsidered when they are right but neglected easilty.

The factor to view the mistaken world in an effective way, the story has chosen two backgrounds:
1. The world in the future of advanced technology
2. The appearance of robot, "Sibore".

The main character, Lee Ho Gu is bullied seriously at school. He is a typical nerd who is ugly, poor, stupid, pure, kind, and warm. He always gets beaten by other boys and does as their orders even he doens't want to. The robot Sibore, becomes his seat partner. The robot Sibore is made to exam how robots can make relationship with human. So she has been programmed the very basic personality of human being. Even she is a robot, she absolutely looks like a normal girl. But she sounds robot, and the sentences she makes are machine-like; the content of her words are more human than human.

This webtoon makes us discover what the world is and how the world should be. Ho Gu figures no more lonliness even he is with a mass of metals who treats him the basic rights everyone should be receiving.




She is the robot Sibore who never smiles.


Other characters and episodes add souls to this story.



This is Ho Gu.


The Funny looking dog of Ho Gu and the cute little robot who does house work in Ho Gu's house. But this
robot is old and makes error a lot of times. Very funny and cute, though

They are people-policy leaders-who intervened in the project of Kim Chang Nam. However, they are trying to use the robot to kick people out of town to develop.


This man is really complicated; He had broken up with his wife because he loved maid robot in his house. As this happened, his daughter got hurt and learned not to smile forever. But then he's saying,
"You bastard is trying to use science just to fulfill your desire of money!"

 
The boy upside of the picture is Jae Min, who is also a nerd and bullied just like Ho Gu. By this character, we can learn the contradiction of being a weaker. The grandmother is Ho Gu's grandmother, and she makes readers cry. ㅠ.ㅠ  Really sad Grandma~


This is Min Woo, who was friends with Ho Gu in the past, but then... I am not supposed to spoil! But he... is also important in this story.


The girl on the right side is Yu Jin. I hate her seriously!


Crazy man who tries to use Sibore as moneymaker. Also sexual toy.


The daughter who never smiles because of her crazy father above.
I really recommend people to read this webtoon. I don't think that comic books don't have any value to read. Comic books can actually show more than a book. It contains a lot of significance, philosophy, point of view, emotional sensation. It's hard to express everything you feel actually. Maybe because my ability is not enough for that. Also, as the novel, 'the body' says, it diminishes when you make it into words.






This webtoon is not everytime serious; it also has fun and light parts.

Using the purity of Bore and Hogu


That is an error in program ( the situation was really funny )


The Ho gu's life

Sometimes fogging our heart,
But not losing the sense of humor.

Other bloggers say that this is really a great work that this must be made into movie.
I also agree with this. But I'd rather choose to make it into animation movie rather than using actors.


                     these cuts are when the world famous people were acclaiming about the invention of
robot in Seoul "Kim Chang Nam"  They are Edison, Bal gates(changed from Bill gates), Ainsuthain (changed form of Einstein), Night brohters (the Wright brothers)

The drawings are also pretty nice and high quality.


The drawings are very "Korean". Not so loud, but natural and sweet.







One of the lines I like:



= Is there cheap and expensive in human's emotion?




Worth to read : 10
Structure of story : 9
specialty : 7
Rate of focusing : 9.5

  2. Very good! Although I've never been into comics I can clearly see an interesting unique story at work here. Kind of twisted and weird, and definitely quirky. I wonder if it is translated to other languages. Is it originally Korean?

    I kind of wonder how many there are and who made it. The writer deserves to be mentioned. Do you know Gang Poole? One of my students wrote this about him:

    Anyways, nice review.
