You're So Cool - Characters

Characters

Jung Nan Woo - She is somewhat of a tom-boy, with a small frame and short hair. She is very clumsy, and always falls on her face or bump into things. She is not very smart; she eats and sleeps during class, one time waking up and shouting "The Japanese are coming!" to the laughter of the class. Nan Woo is very simple but happy. When she finds out that Seung Ha is not the perfect prince she thought he was, at first she tries to avoid him, but being a klutz, she fails. Quickly she sees that there is more to know about him, and decides that she want to know. She goes a great length to show him that she will not abandon him.

Ryu Seung Ha - At school, he is smart, rich, handsome, and caring. After school, he's a rude punk and a gangster. He is the son of a wealthy man and his beautiful mistress. When he was ten years old, his mother left without a word. His father brought him in to his house where his wife and legitimate son live. Seung Ha had to deal with the pain of betrayal he felt by his mother leaving him, as well as the new hostile surroundings. As a result, he decided to never expose his real self and emotions, and creates a new image when he sees the need for it. He was attracted by the way Nan Woo was carrying herself, with brutal truth and no disguises - his exact opposite. He torments her for awhile, but in fact he wants her to see past his masks and help him.

Jae - He is Nan Woo's uncle and her mom's half-brother. He moved with Nan Woo and her mother when he was a high school student after his father died. Like Seung Ha, being left alone by his parents (though for different reasons) left a mental scar. Therefore he is scared of being alone. He is as beautiful as a woman, and has no problem finding girlfriends. But they leave when they realize it doesn't matter to him who he is with, as long as he is not alone. He sees Hyun Ho only as a friend as he is not interested in men, but eventually agrees to a relationship when Hyun Ho explains how much he needs him.

Hyun Ho - Living by himself in a run-down one-room apartment and working temporary jobs, he meets Jae while reading a book in the park. Jay invites him over after he helps him with groceries, and Hyun Ho is confused by Jay's naivete and friendliness. Over time, his feelings for Jay grow into love and he pursues him, though not very elegantly, by pestering him at his house. Eventually it works, however. Hyun Ho knows Seung Ha as he once helped him after a fight. Seung Ha found refuge in Hyun Ho's little apartment and even left the only picture he had of his mom there.

Jae Young - Nan Woo's mom. She is drawn to look manly with no chest and wide shoulders. She is somewhat of a comic character that often gets into violent arguments with Nan Woo, or is seen drunk with her rock band. She does have a serious side, though. She works as a nurse, and is a good judge of human character. She immediately spots Seung Ha's broken self when she meets him.
