Synopsis

Min Geun Soo, a manhwa artist, lives with his special-needs mother who seems to suffer from an intellectual disability and cannot perform the most basic of activities, such as using the toilet or even brushing her teeth. He draws day and night to support them, working himself ragged and straining his eyes in the process. However, one unfortunate day, he completely loses his eyesight. The future seems bleak for a manhwa artist who can no longer draw.

All seems to be going downhill, when one day, he meets Jeon So Ri. So Ri is a deaf girl, and happens to be in love with Geun Soo's work. Thus begins a love story between a deaf woman and a blind man about finding the strength and will to live despite numerous trials.

So this is the first manga, or rather manhwa, that I've completed from start to finish. And I have to say, what a way to start my journey into such an art form. Can't See Can't Hear But Love is one of the greatest pieces of literature that I've ever read.

The story is quite simple. It is about a deaf woman, a blind guy, and their life together. The manhwa explores both of their current dilemmas, as well as their future and past as well. Certain events come up that create difficult choices for each character. While there are some comedic moments throughout the ... manhwa, this is mainly a drama. In my opinion, Can't See Can't Hear But Love contains some of the most touching scenes I've seen in a piece of art since Clannad: After Story. And yeah, that's high praise. There were more than a few scenes that were absolutely heartbreaking to read. One of the reasons I never bothered reading or finishing any type of manga is because I never thought that something like that would get an emotional response from me. Obviously, I've received such from other pieces of art, such as anime, books, and movies, but I just didn't think a comic book, manga, or manhwa, could complete with those art forms. But man, I was wrong. I cried so many times reading certain parts of this manhwa that I couldn't possibly say the exact number. It's absolutely beautiful.

Because this is a manhwa, every piece of artwork is in color. I thought this was quite nice, although not necessary. The images became more more alive due to the colorful palette. There were times were color was used in a very intelligent as, like showing a flashback or hinting at a dark moment. I was quite impressed by this and feel that the story was heightened due to such a add-on.

Can't See Can't Hear But Love is rich with some of the most heartwarming characters ever. Geun Soo, the blind guy, is a very flawed character. He has issues with family, lies sometimes, and can be difficult to deal with in certain circumstances. But this is more than okay because it shows that he is human. Geun Soo isn't perfect. He's a good human being who doesn't fully understand himself, but wants what's best for everyone around him. Sure, because he is blind, he struggles more than most people everyday. But he also struggles with his emotions. The manhwa explores these difficulties in great length throughout the manhwa.

So Ri, the deaf girl, is one of the strongest female characters I've ever encountered. I couldn't help but feel how much she cared for Geun Soo during the story. So Ri sacrifices a lot in order to help Geun Soo during certain events that come up. She fights because of her will to live, be happy, and make sure that Geun Soo enjoys his life as much as possible. She is often treated poorly, not just because of her vision, but due to her being a woman as well. Despite the hardships she faces, So Ri never gives up.

Supporting characters in Can't See Can't Hear But Love also play a vital role when it comes to the main characters and their wants and desires. These supporting characters are all fleshed out nicely. You learn about every single one of their upbringings and why they are the way they are. It's clear that every single person in Can't See Can't Hear But Love have been through a lot, which is why they aren't perfect and can sometimes be disgusting in the way they act towards others.

Overall, I can't recommend Can't See Can't Hear But Love enough. This is one of the most touching stories I've ever read and gives a real life view of the world from the perspective of two people who are unable to live normal lives due to their disabilities. Even if you hate reading, don't care for manga, or feel that a dramatic story like this one is a waste of time, I would implore you so please read it. You won't regret it.

This is not just a masterpiece in storytelling. No... it is also one of the most important pieces of art that will be remembered for years to come. Can't See Can't Hear But Love is a must read and receives my highest recommendation.

As an artist myself, this was a bit difficult in the beginning. Him suddenly getting blind because of his work, made me quite anxious, not gonna lie. Being blind surely is scary for everyone, but even harder for people, whose work requires them to see. Authors can still easily write after becoming blind, but artists? Drawing without eyes is a bit difficult.

Anyways. The beginning was good. I don't really like reading hetero stories, so I didn't go in with many expectations, but actually got surprised for the better. Sori's and Min's relationship was really healthy and I could truly feel their love for each other. ...

Thus review contains spoilers ahead.

When I was reading this manhwa I could hear Oprah's voice in my head like, "You get a sad back story, you get a sad back story, eeeeeverybody gets a sad back story" and it wasn't far from the truth.

Story:

This author takes melodrama to a whole new level. I understand the need for creating a tragedy to sympathise with your characters, but you know you're overdoing it when even their PET gets a three chapter background where it cries and experiences more emotions than a pregnant woman. There are two pets in the story and ...
