Love in the Mask -by Han Yu-rang, Short Review

Please do not let the act of loving become sin.
Please do not let my deeds cause others to shed tears.
Please do not let me say 'I truly loved you' on the day that I die.
So that on my grave only our longing for each other remains.
Pled high as the white salt.
                       -Love/Ahn Do-Hyun
As I was going through my old photos that I have uploaded ages ago. I found this particular downloaded picture that I had saved from one of my favorite manga Love in the Mask Manhwa written by Han Yu-rang. It brings a lots of nostalgic memories of those days as I was reading this manga. This manga is about a poor girls,Suh Hyun-bin who have to live as a boy bodyguard. She has to hide her famine side in order to survive and escape from her cruel fate.
The plot of the manga as written by the writer is:
Suh Hyun-bin grew up under the cruel hand of street gangsters, but after her little brother dies, Hyun-bin runs away and is taken in by a rich family to be trained to become a bodyguard. However, she must hide that she is female, and pose as a man. And so, for eight years, she grows up as a cold, male, bodyguard. It looks like she'll be this way forever--until a fateful encounter with Lee Yun-ha shakes her very foundations, and leaves her conflicting with herself, as her feelings of love clash against her feelings of duty. The love that she can feel can be describe by the following poem.
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT SAY
EVEN IF I SCRIBBLE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT GO MEET
EVEN IF I SAY IT THE WHOLE DAY
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT LOOK INTO THE EYES OF
EVEN IF I MEET IT.
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT SPEAK TO
EVEN IF I LOOK INTO ITS EYES
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT TELL MY LOVE
EVEN IF I WOULD SACRIFICE MY LIFE FOR IT
 THERE IS A NAME I CAN NOT SAY THAT "I WOULD WAIT SO COME BACK TO ME" TO
EVEN IF I COULD WAIT AN ETERNITY FOR THAT PERSON
 BUT EVEN STILL I LOVE
EVEN IF IT IS A NAME I CAN NOT CALL EVEN ONCE.
BECAUSE IT IS YOU I LOVE

THE NAME/ KIM JONGWON (POET)
