Hi Quimchee!
I just wanted to apologize on behalf of all the fans that are demanding and rude. For every buttface that demands you do more, there's ten of us that are grateful you do anything at all and just want you to be healthy.
You literally make my week livable thinking about what will happen in every Friday's chapter. So thank you! Please don't be discouraged! Even JK Rowling has haters.
My question is: what would each character dress as for Halloween?

Kousuke: Dracula/Vampire
Shin Ae: A hotdog
Nol: An Inflatable Dinosaur. Or whale.

Are their any perks to being a Webtoons creator? Would you recommend the job to someone who wants to make comics?
quimchee
It's like most independent contract work. You get paid for services while you cover all other expenses yourself (supplies, bills, insurance and etc)
Perks would be expense paid traveling when you're invited to conventions.
Working on your own schedule is good too. Not wearing pants. You stay at home. Eat anytime you want. Have music on, netflix and etc.

Hi! I hope you're doing well! I'm curious about something if you don't mind: you used to be harassed by toxic fans, right? Is it still the case? Do you often get annoyed by fans who feel entitled to your work and wants you to, for example, give more moments to their ship?

I still do get harassed. But I just try to avoid giving them attention or reply to them.
As for the "entitled" fans, they do get frustrating but I usually just go to my editor and friends to vent since they know more about the characters and the story.

Do you think people who criticize a character for his behavior (e.g. calling out Kousuke's rudeness) are toxic? I mean, it's disgusting to attack readers, but should characters be immune to criticism, even harsh ones?

No. A lot of people don't realize that there's a difference between criticizing a character and bashing a character without any good basis. People need to understand that hating, blindly attacking others who don't like what you like, and criticizing are not the same.

I'm curious about something!
Do all webtoon authors (the ones that have storyline in their webtoon) have the entire story planned beforehand?
I feel as if that way the details and connections are more precise
I love the fact that you're not going to change your story no matter what! You are able to throw little clues here and there, and I think that's the best!
Also, do you have your story planned like a book (with each and every dialogue and gestures written until the end) or is it more like a guide? (For example, you know after the Hirahara party, Shin-Ae had to go to the hospital, then the cafe where she met the trio, then...)
Thank you for working so hard, we appreciate and love yoo ❤️
quimchee
Each author has a different style. There are a few creators I know that make stuff up on the go, some follow outlines/notes, others have really long and detailed scripts.
Rather than a full fledged book, I do more of a screenplay with notes and directions and stuff like that.

I really hope you see this, Quimchee. I wanted to address that a group of Kousuke stans have been attacking Nol stans in the comment section, and much of the stuff they say is pretty hurtful. They have been at it for quite a while now and I feel like it should be something that should be reported. They’ve been telling anyone who disagrees with them to die, accusing them of being institutionalized in an asylum (stigmatizing mental illnesses basically). I just think it’s gradually destroying the livelihood of the comment section. That’s all I wanted to say.
quimchee
I know the group you're talking about. Is it sad that I'm already expecting their comments every week like it's the norm?
While I do agree those kinds of comments from any side of the fandom ruins the experience for a lot of readers, the best thing you can do is ignore them and don't give them any sort of reaction. Don't feed these people with attention.
You can also report the comments if they are out of line/downright hateful/offensive towards others. If a comment has been reported enough times, webtoons reviews it and may delete it, or take other appropriate action. You could also email webtoons about the problem.

When making this comic how often do you add things spontaneously? Or do you always strictly stick to an already-written script?

Once in a while. Usually with Shin-Ae's or Soushi's outbursts or dumb remarks, and background characters. Most of the time those are ad lib.

So if Fassbender was an example of Nol's accent, then what about his voice?
quimchee
The Seiyuu does quite a lot of deep sounding characters but not all of them are XD (Minato for example)
As for Nol, I think Aidan Turner would be the closest to what I have for the voice that I have in my head for him (especially older/20s Nol).

Everyone has an accent. But let's just say the common accent in the story would be the General American Accent (Since ILY is published on the international server and majority of the fans are from the U.S.)
Kousuke and Nol both speak in American accents. Nol makes an effort to hide his natural accent unless he's speaking to Nana. His natural accent will sneak out once in a while in some situations though.
Soushi has an Australian accent and Dieter a faint German accent too.

Unless they somehow make their way back into the comic, sadly, they'll only be in Patreon.
There are also some things from the script I have to scrap haven't drawn to speed things up since I'm doing a comic, not writing a book lol.
Not sure If I should post that on Patreon or just keep to myself 😂

hey quimchee im just curious cause im a bit disappointed right now, as a 3$ tier patreon is there anything that you are gonna post on there that wont be posted on ily? ik there are some things but you’ve already posted most of the illustrations as ily specials and its a bit disappointing :( im not trying to be rude but i just dont know if i can justify it if *almost* every illustration posted on there isnt exclusive to patreon
quimchee
If you haven't noticed, I also post these illustrations on my social media.
Nowhere in my Patreon does it say the illustrations are exclusive. What is exclusive are the downloads to the files in high resolution.
What you see in public are low resolution images,cropped or not original color. What you get on Patreon are all High Resolution, originals and ready for printing.
$3 Tiers are at 300-350dpi and at least 3000px.
Even $1 Tiers get better resolution than a screenshot taken from a webtoon/social media.

Has anyone thought of Kousuke as gay? I was rereading the comic and realised that he sometimes act in a manner that's traditionally consider feminine (caring for his skin etc) which made me wonder if people have thought of him as gay for solely that reason.

Surprisingly no (aside from the readers that took the "I'm gay" comment he made in Kousuke's Corner seriously)
It's Nol that a lot of people think is gay LMAO.

After seeing the latest illustrations I Just really wanted to say I LOVE Nol's car! 😍😍 I find It refreshing a guy in comic got another car than an expensive one ☝️ like a Ferrari or a Porsche 😏
So I have questions about it : Did Nol got his car with his own money or Is it Nana's car? Is He into old car or did he just not care about it?
Anyway you are an amazing writer ( if not the best 😎) A talented artist and an amazing person so I hope you will take a rest when you need it 😊 Don't push yourself too much ! 😣 Some of us now of hard It is to publish chapter each week!

Really? Not a response I was expecting. Sorry lol People would generally gravitate towards Kousuke's car because it's a freaking Ferrari LOL
Not saying you're weird. It's actually really nice seeing someone appreciate a car people would snub or otherwise call "crappy" BECAUSE it's not an expensive new Porsche or a Ferrari.
Nol's car isn't Nana's nor was it given by anyone and it has nothing to do with money either. It's just Nol being Nol lol

The main characters were originally as they are now or you have gradually modified them?
quimchee
They're not exactly the same. Especially Nol and Shin Ae who were modified the most out of the three main characters since they barely had personality. Shin Ae was weak, always crying, couldn't think and do things for herself, and her only struggle involved her conflicting feelings towards the boys. Nol was worse. He was the nice dude that was stupid af and his only purpose was to be Kousuke's rival.
They gradually changed as I grew older and gained more experience/grew more mature (be it relationships, what works and what doesn't, health, work, types of people you meet, friends that come and go, different personalities, better understanding of the human psyche... you name it)
I cringe thinking of the characters' initial selves. They weren't people. They were caricatures created to gratify teenage fantasies lol.

Shin Ae - None. She smells like her home and whatever is being cooked there. If she cooked pork chops that day, she will smell like pork chops XD
Nol - He's not a big fan of cologne so he smells like the soap he uses when he showers. Smells crisp citrusy/woody and fresh I guess.

Of course it’s fine if they aren’t!!

Hello Quim. Hope your doing well! Don’t forget to drink lots of water and get some rest when you can! 😊
Anyways I’m preparing to enter the webtoons contest. They mention a number of panels for each episode. When I look panel size I get 800x1280, now is that an equivalent to one panel? What consists of a panel in webtoon standards.
quimchee
When they say 800×1280 They are referring to the maximum dimension of the file/page you can upload at a time, not panels. Panels sizes are entirely up to you and what suits your style of storytelling.
You can, however, have as many as 10 panels (though I don't recommend it because they become too small and cluttered) in one 800x1280 file, or just one large panel.
Personally, I like doing one large panel or 2-3 smaller panels in one 800x1280 strip.
I also recommend working on a larger canvas. Instead of drawing on 800x1280 res, double it (at least) for higher quality. You can always shrink the sizes once you are done drawing!
Good Luck with the Contest!

Sang Chul - Eggs Benedict or an omelette and a glass of milk. Scrambled eggs when in a hurry or boiled egg when on the go.
Soushi - Bacon, Eggs, Ham, and toast with a glass of orange juice! Toast and Vegemite when he's in a hurry XD
Dieter - Sausage and eggs, breadrolls with either cheese or jam spread, side of fruits and a cup of hot coco. When he's in a hurry, toast and jam works.
Nol - Bacon, sausage, and pudding, some hash, eggs and baked beans and grilled tomatoes, and freshly baked soda bread and a glass of almond milk. Instant oats or a smoothie when he's in a hurry
Nol eats the most for breakfast, Sang-Chul the least.

It’s always really annoying when fans try to turn EVERYTHING into a romantic thing. Like “oh he looked at him he must be jealous!” Or “oh he asked her to dance he loves her!” 🙃

I actually posted this on amino, but I've got too say that I liked feeling awkward with the dance. I think their relationship isn't developed enough for them to have a romantic/magic dance, so you really did well ahahah
quimchee
THANK YOU!
A romantic dance would have been too forced especially given the circumstances.
Anon 2 Jun
Actually kousuke being rude is not a new side from him even his fans know that, the plot always show kousuke as the rude, rigid guy while nol is the caring, pure guy. it's have been like this from chapter 1, that's why I don't get why people are fighting over their ship because of that🤔
quimchee
1. Lots of fans found his coldness/rudeness cute and funny and part of his charm. It's what a drew a lot of people to the ship. It also wasn't doing anything to Shin Ae. Most of the time she would brush off his rude comments. But this time they can see it affecting her. It's making her uncomfortable. Suddenly it's not cute or charming anymore and it's hurting their ship.
2. When he's alone with Shin Ae, his softer side comes out. Fans really liked that side of him but got a little too used to it. Anytime he acts less than ideal, it's "out of character" or just me "purposely making kousuke look like an asshole to make Nol better."
3. Some people actually skip the beginning of the comic and never saw how he he treated Shin Ae in the beginning XD
Anon 2 Jun
What is Nol weaknesses? Is him without his glasses?

When you see an asshole you can point out the problem immediately.

I just went to the comment section and... dang. I won't say I'm suprised that I found so many rude comments, seeing how the popularity of ILY grows and how devoted to the ships people are. I'm just upset because it indirectly affects YOU as a writer, because those people don't care about the actual story and only about their ships. And I think this is just disrespectful to both you and to the story. So I just wanted to say you should ignore and not worry about them, the majority of the fandom understands that it's YOUR story and respects that. We love yoo ❤
quimchee
Thank you!
Nowadays I avoid comments on webtoons and lurk on Amino or discord especially when I know there's going to be a lot of negative reaction.
I enjoy reading their thoughts on the episodes, theories, as well as character analyses. Be it right or wrong, they're usually well thought out. And they notice things that go over a lot of the readers heads.
Anon 2 Jun
Did you sacrifice a romantic moment with Kousuke for the Nol fans because he's getting friendzoned or was it really part of the story?
quimchee
No. It has always been part of the plan. The formal was not only meant to give Nol a little bit more screentime but also show sides to Kousuke that fans aren't used to. I say not used to because they've ALWAYS been there. And with the current environment, with Nol present and what he did to juxtapose in the most recent episode, it only magnifies one of Kousuke's biggest weaknesses.
Also, the reason the chapter was really late to begin with was because I didn't want to sacrifice ANOTHER Nol moment. I thought about deleting a lot of his panels this episode to make the deadline. Everything from the part where he looks around and covers his face with his hands up to Shin Ae's reaction to Ninja Nol, the panels where he hands Shin Ae her jacket. Yes, I thought about cutting those. But I felt it unfair to the Nol fans. We would have ended up with Shin Ae relaxing because Nol showed up, which didn't really make much sense. So I settled for a really late episode.
I've been sacrificing too many of his scenes while none of Kousukes scenes have been deleted since his first appearance.
And truth be told, the dance was supposed to be a lot more awkward/painful than it already was. But I knew the fans were going to complain because it wasn't as magical/sweet/romantic as they imagined it to be. So I made it less awkward than I intended it to be.
And for the nth time. (I lost track now)
THE STORY IS ALREADY PLANNED.
I don't change things because one guy is getting friendzoned. Each ship will have their highs and lows.
Anon 1 Jun
Is it wrong that i dont like any ship but like the story 🤔the story without ship is better for me😐?

It's not wrong. It's totally possible for Shin Ae to be happy without ending up with anyone.
Shin Ae x Shin Ae is also a ship lol

Anon 29 May
Do you have those moments when writing the plot, when you are unsure of what course of action to take? Like, for example a character has to make some decision; do you know immediately what they'd do, or is it sometimes hard to choose?
quimchee
I have all the moments planned. There may be some little moments during build up I add here and there that aren't that just come to me, however I've never been unsure of the path each character is going to take from the beginning. It also really helps when you've developed your characters enough that they basically write themselves for you. The only hard part is drawing it out and receiving the backlash from the readers when their favorite character acts less than perfect.
Just don't expect everyone to make the perfect decision all the time. No one does.
Anon 29 May
do you think Kousuke has more fan because he has more « ship moments » with shin Ae ? If yes why didn’t you balanced better those moments with Yeong Gi to avoid this ?
quimchee
After a bit of analyzing several factors (stats/webtoon, instagram, twitter, etc comments/reactions from certain events and actions/majority reader demographic), balancing the moments at this point in time won't do much.
And I don't want to rush/cheapen the development of characters for the sake of ship moments.

No one can beat Sang Chul for best hair in its softness and fluffiness levels.

Kousuke has naturally straight hair.

Nol's hair is thick and fluffy
But both of them have soft hair but again, not as soft as Sang Chul's.
Sang Chul still wins.

Shin Ae prefers hot weather. She feels cold really easily. She doesn't really get hot so she deals with the heat better.
Nol prefers cold weather. He is sensitive to both hot and cold but he'd rather bundle up and get cozy in the winter than strip to cool off in the summer.
Kousuke prefers cold weather but for different reasons. He's always in suits 😂😂😂 Suits get kinda uncomfortable in the summer lol BUT suits aside, he's better at dealing with hot weather.

Dont worry, only u know if fans predict it right or wrong.

Why are people even discussing genetics in those simple ways? I would look the opposite from what I look like, if I got the dominant genes for hair- and eye-color.
Seriously. 😧
Btw, what was Nana's hair-color when she was younger?
quimchee
You can't really expect everyone to understand genetics beyond what is taught in high school biology XD
And Nana was a redhead!
Anon 9 May
So...can Nol actually sing? Or is he slightly tone deaf and needs someone to stand next to him? Since Kousuke is musically gifted, I'd imagine that he can sing too, but only in private, like in the shower, lol. Is that anywhere near accurate?? 😅🤣
quimchee
Just because you can play an instrument it doesn't mean you can sing 😂😂😂
If that were the case, I would've been a great singer LOL
Anon 9 May
Dude, I'd rather see Nol attempt to perform Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame's Hellfire a la Tony Jay. Although it would be sweet if he sang Heaven's Light, too. Actually, another fun one would be Mine from Pocahontas. Thoughts?
quimchee
That'd be awesome too 😂

Isn't Shin-Ae Korean? How can her children have blonde/red hair? Does she have an ancestor with that kind of hair?

brown hair with bits of red is chesnut

Hold the phone, Shin Ae has auburn hair not brown 😲??!! (My whole life is a lie).

If nol and shin ae had a child what would be that child hair colour and eye colour?
quimchee
Funny y'all are asking this XD
I was discussing with lifelight and anotherfriend about what all of Shin Ae's possible kids would look like with Nol and Kousuke XD.
Nol's results:
Hair- 50% Brown, 40% Strawberry Blonde, 10% Red
Eyes- 75% Red eyes (again pretend these are equivalent to brown irl), 15% Blue eyes, 10% green eyes.
Kousuke's results:
Hair- 50/50 Black or Brown Hair
Eyes - 76% Red eyes, 21% Blue, 4% Green

If you guys wanna draw fan fic children go wild with these color combos lol

It's sad to see people say Yeong Gi is too good to be true and hearing you say how people don't pay attention to him saddens me more :( When you pay attention and actually look deep enough, you'll find he has a lot more problems than what appears on the surface. It's not as obvious as Kousuke because Yeong Gi hides it well by being outgoing and smiling. And it seems to be working on the readers too.
And I can't help but feel he isn't showing his true self for some reason? Not gonna lie there are times in the comic where Yeong Gi feels... really off 😅
No need to reply. Just giving my two cents.

It is kind of sad to read that question about Dieter and German stereotypes. 😔
Thank you for not following that and making an actual person out of him.
And it is so cute, that he loves good bread, Berliner and even Currywurst. 😂😂😂
Do you have a German region in mind, where he is from?
(If so, I just hope it is neither Bavaria nor Berlin...just because that is what most people know. Would be refreshing if he originates from another region.)
Sincere thanks for this awesome character from a timid and shy German fan. 👱♀️
Just one thing: People should really value punctuality more. 😅😅

And I agree about Punctuality 😂

Why is Nol so mysterious? He's my fave char but he's the hardest to read imo. It's like he's hiding pain, or darkness. Was that intended? 🤣 He's a good guy but I wonder if he's slowly cracking, or has he cracked already.
quimchee
Everyone's got something to hide.
Anon 8 May
Isn't Nol a bit too cinnamon roll to be true? I mean he went through serious childhood neglect & abuse and we are to believe he came out on the other end as a smiley face bumper sticker? I don't know but I am with Shin-ae on the mistrust wagon. Do you get feedback (say your editor or someone who knows the endgame) on characters' 'believability'?
quimchee
Of course I do. My editor doesn't know endgame, but he does know about my characters and their secrets. It's one of the first things he asked me and discussed before the comic launched on webtoons.

I feel like Dieter is more like a Dutch stereotype. He reminds me so much of a Dutch classmate of mine in high school, I can't even. They're too pure for this world, Quimchee. Too pure.
A German stereotype would be more uptight and punctual and unromantic. And they would never be like: HALLO, I'M GERMAN. My humble opinion, tho. XDD
quimchee
I'm talking appearance-wise 😂😂😂
His personality being the opposite of the stereotype was intentional 😂😂😂

Anon 8 May
You said you didnt like something cliche, but actually there are lots of scenes that are soo cliche in fact..........
Isn't it contradict your words hiks
quimchee
If you all haven't already noticed, the whole comic is a kdrama/shoujo stereotype filled with tropes and stereotypical characters.
Kousuke - "Rich dark haired mysterious cold heir to company"
Shin Ae - "Poor girl"
Yeong Gi- "Bubbly friendly guy"
Even Dieter - his name alone, paired with blonde Hair and Blue eyes. He's a walking German stereotype.
😂😂😂 come on people. You think I dont know these things?
Anon 8 May
Is Kousuke based off other characters other than Darcy?You dont have to say who if spoilery
quimchee
Just Mr. Darcy.
But I'll admit. When I was a young teenager I read A TON of shoujo manga so I MAY have been influenced by the main leads in them (especially Kousuke's design lol) 😂😂😂
However, there are aspects to his personality I added twists to.
Anon 8 May
How bad is his sight condition? If he went out, could he recognise people from afar?

For those who asked why Yeong Gi wearing glasses, I learned about it in college. Nearsighted/myopia isn't caused by video games. It's because of the eye grows too long.

I really am not lieing. And can you tell me his height right now.
btw i really can't believe myself that so invested in a comic character's height like its life amd death 😂 but still, please explain.
quimchee
Because I have so much to think about when drawing a single panel other than accurate character height portrayal 100% of the time?
Composition, lighting, angle, pose, body language, character placement, background, color schema, facial expressions, speech bubble position, feel XD
Height differences are the least of my worrieslol
And keep in mind Kousuke ALWAYS stands tall and proper while Yeong Gi doesn't.
Anon 7 May
Previously I was answered Kousuke is 5'11 which is 180 cm how can he be shorter than Dieter and Soushi? I am confused

There will be some games Kousuke will be naturally better at than Nol and vice versa.

And Kousuke not being my favorite to draw atm also has a lot do with something called "Classical Conditioning"

Wow i am surprised that knowing kousuke had a teddy bear. XD. Does kousuke still have that teddy?. Who did give it to him?
And what toys did shin ae have?. Does she still have the yellow truck with her?

Obviously his parents bought all his toys. Mr. Hirahara bought the teddy bear for him. He doesn't have his toys anymore, including the Teddy Bear XD When Kousuke stopped playing with his toys, he donated them all as per the request of Mr. Hirahara.
Shin Ae as well. She had a lot of toy cars. Is the truck still with her? We'll see 😂😂😂
Anon 7 May
If Kousuke had tons of toys growing up does he still play video games? What are his favorite games? What were his fave child books too?

He stopped playing video games around 8-9ish
He found books more engaging. Not necessarily Children's books. He just began studying more.

Now for a weird question: which guys pee standing and which do sit down?
(This is only meant as a question of manners. Not anything perverted.........I know it is weird, but my girl friends had that discussion the other day 😂😂😂)
(Is this even a question of mannerism in other countries than mine? 🤔)
quimchee
?????? Why do you guys want to know such intimate information about the guys LOL 😂😂😂
Anyway they all pee standing up. For the most part.
Kousuke, Sang-Chul, Soushi, MinHyuk. In the comfort of their own home, they'll be sitting down occasionally, especially when they just want to relax or when super exhausted (or while doing a number 2 looking especially at you Soushi XDDD).
Nol and Dieter are the only guys that will not pee sitting down for their own personal reasons they are embarrassed to talk about 😂😂😂
Anon 6 May
Your whole comic is filled with weird scenes to be quite honest with you. I guess that is why I like it? To find out what is going on with everyone.

Have you ever read Umineko? I reread I Love Yoo and was hit with a wave of nostalgia when I noticed that in chapter 24 Yeong Gi sat at the farthest left corner away from the dad. Hierarchical seating was a clue in Umineko so I will never forget the order and that it's a thing in the first place. Also was the seating intended to be hierarchical in that dinner scene or did the symbolism behind the scene have nothing to do with hierarchical seating?

I've never read! But yes, the seating arrangement during the dinner scene is indeed intentional.

Will we ever know why Kousuke was with Dieter, Soushi and Nol at the "Outdoor Cafe" from ch 10-13?
I don't know exactly why but I found it strange that he was hanging out with them when they're mostly Nol's friends. Besides he was there but didn't even accept to eat breakfast with them or even sit with them, it really seems to me like he was babysittig or smt, but I'm sure he is busy enough to have time for that right? I don't know xD it just doesn't make sense ahaha
And another question: does anyone in the ILY world know about the Hirahara's family history beside Yui, Rand, Kousuke and Nol? (maybe also Nana?) (like how bad they treat Nol and so on)

👀 definitely strange wasn't it.
As for the second question: it'll be in the story

You mentioned before that your boyfriend prefers Kousuke over Nol, do you know why?
Is it because of the same reasons you mentioned in a question before.
I prefer Kousuke because idk but the way his character seems to dress himself and carry himself is very charming. In my opinion people just are used to like characters(Levi, Howl from hmc, L for example) that look like Kousuke, if you drew Nol like him people would have started liking Nol more instead, people just seem to have a liking towards black haired guys.
Also to mention Nol in my opinion, to an unbiased reader seems much more, mysterious and troubled so I really don't get how people consider Kousuke anymore mysterious than him.
Also thanks for the comic and reading my opinions. And i really have trust issues, will you really tell the right answer to the panel search🤔
Anyway Fighting!!
quimchee
Actually my bf switched ships 😅😅😅
Dieter and Yeong Gi now. He always ships the underdog XD (he shipped Kousuke back when Kousuke wasn't the popular ship. He gets all hipster when it comes to shipping lmao)

Kousuke isn't the biggest fan of seafood but he will eat it out of courtesy.
Otherwise no, no one in ILY hates fish.
Anon 6 May
Maybe the reason why most people say nol is not that mysterious is because they can see when he is happy, sad and disappointed from his Facial expressions. Compared to kosuke who's rarely changes facial expression. But for me both of them are mysterious 😆😆.
( English is not my first language, so sorry for my bad language, hope you understand :)
quimchee
Even though the underlying reasons for facial expressions may be something other than what's ostensible, sadly it's true.
Generally:
Less expressive, quiet and reserved = interesting, complex and mysterious
Expressive, amiable, outgoing = simple, plain, boring

Do you feel that freckles would have made Nol more liked if you would have add them in the comics
quimchee
Freckles the dog? Or freckles on his face?
Freckles the dog, who knows. Probably not.
Freckles on his face? Again, probably not. There were people actually disgusted by the freckles when I posted his freckled face so... 😅
Anon 6 May
If Yeong Gi got a dog what will he name it?
quimchee
Depends on the size of the dog:
Larger dogs: Pebbles, Freckles, Peanut, Speckle, Bubbles, Pickle, Spot, Tiny
Smaller dogs: Gigantor, Rex, Drogon, Orc Lord, Titan, Colossus, Kaiju, Clifford
You guys get the jist XD
Anon 6 May
Does It mean that at the end of the story one male lead be left alone?. Will that person ever get his own happy ending even though e won't end up with shin ae?

Even if Shin Ae decides to be with neither of the brothers and everyone was happy, people will still be mad.
Let's just wait and see how things play out okay guys.

Do you think ppl will get mad about who ends up with shin ae/the ending of ily when it’s finished? But I’ll be happy no matter who shin ae ends up with! 😊
quimchee
I know I can't please everyone. It's unreasonable to believe everyone will be happy, especially when it comes to a story involving 2 male leads, so yes, there will definitely be people who will be angry.
Anon 6 May
The way you love to hide things and put some small details in your story that people may tend to overlook feels like you could make a great mystery story or something psychological. 😂
Do you plan on making a new comics after you finish ILY?

I do love mystery and psychological movies! They are my favorite genres!
I would LOVE to create some psychological comics in the future (I've got several ideas).
Sadly they don't really appeal to the general Webtoon audience but we'll see ; v ;

Would you be willing to do a alternative ending of shinae ending up with the guy like nol and kousuke?
I've read you mentioned it's been decided from the beginning, like a non canon thing.
I'm team kousuke and nol.
I love to see that.
Like those tv shows they end up with that person and in alternative with this person instead.
Too much ;-;
I'm sorry I'm new
I love your work Quimchee
Please continue and be healthy
quimchee
Characters make decisions in the story and certain events/experiences happen and these things build one on top of another. So it doesn't really make sense to me to make several endings without things being forced unless I wrote several different stories.
Also, be careful with alternate endings. You may not like what you see.
Anon 5 May
Do people really not pay a lot of attention to Yeong-Gi?
That surprises me....you did draw a lot of scenes with him, that seem quite weird in those moments and I cannot help but wonder wth is up with this guy.
It feels like you cannot get a grip of his real character yet...
quimchee
It doesn't surprise me at all. That's just how it is. Kousuke grabs all the attention and Yeong Gi gets swept under the rug (in comic and irl 😂😂😂)
And cool. That's the first I've heard. Most people say it's Kousuke that's mysterious and hard to understand.

No, apparently you voted on linewebtoon’s poll several months ago on Instagram between Mr. Stalker and Q-tip but Eunice knows who you voted for becuse she posted a picture but your choice was covered.

Ah yeah. Told her to keep it a secret because people are gonna assume my vote = who Shin Ae ends up with when that's not the case. I just like to keep things even XD
I vote for whoever I think would lose a poll. I ran a poll on my own Instagram before Webtoons did and I expected Yeong Gi to lose so I voted for him. Much to my surprise, he won? XD
Shortly after my own poll, Webtoons ran a poll. Since I knew Yeong Gi would win the Webtoon poll because of the results of my own poll, I voted for Kousuke 😂😂😂 (And Yeong Gi indeed won the Webtoon Poll)

Each artists contract with webtoons vary so it depends.
Anon 5 May
Hi Quimchee ! I'm not sure anymore, but ILY is labelled "drama-romance" but you said it is more drama than romance. So I think that maybe, Shin-Ae will end with nobody but herself ? Like, "love you more than anybody" ? Because, even if I'm a #TeamQtip, I don't see them togheter. A true good friend for Nol (he deserve somoene who loves him for himself and no drama) and for Kousuke, a "friend" who don't care about the strass and the money, someone with whom he can be more relax.
My last word : be well, treat yourself and thank you for your webtoon. I secretly hope to buy it in a "comic format" =)

He is rather open, but Oldies are his go-to whenever he's low in spirit. And yes he loves Disney!
Shin Ae is also open in a way that she honestly doesn't care. Sounds good? Sure she'll listen to it 😂😂😂
Kousuke is more into classical music/instrumentals/movie soundtracks.

I just wanted to say ive seen some of the comments on your comics whenever you are slightly late updating. Some people are not the nicest so I just wanted to say there are many of us out there that appreciate what you do and understand when the chapters cant come out at the exact moment. So thank you for all the hard work you do! 😁💕

I actually sent the episode before the deadline. Something probably happened over at the receiving end.
Anon 3 May
It could be possible that Shin Ae dates someone and after sometime they break up and she dates the other one right? I mean, it happens all the time irl, like you can't always find love with just one try... or is it going to be like she only dates one and that's it?
All in all what I'm trying to ask is if, when Shin Ae starts thinking about dates after she's no longer stressed with her father and money problems, Shin Ae is going to have a bit of a trouble understanding her feelings or if she's more like the straight type that know what they want from the very first moment without doubts?

-Kousuke was a part-time teacher, very popular among female students
-Nol could play the violin XD
-Dieter/Soushi was actually Kousuke and Nol's cousin.

Can you explain to us how you organize yourself to create a chapter? I don’t really understand how it's possible to be awake after midnight to work while the chapter was released just 2 days ago. And you don’t seem to be procrastinating so I’m confused. Are you waking up late in the morning or something ?
quimchee
Except for Thursdays, I always start my day around 6 am in the morning and go to bed at around 2 a.m. maybe later maybe earlier. It depends.
Thursday at Midnight : Episode is up - I go to bed
Friday Morning : I wake up, check general feedback on Webtoons. Depending on energy level, start storyboarding or catch up on rest or meals 😂
Saturday-Monday:
I keep storyboarding. Storyboarding is where I lay out all the panels, composition(angles, camerwork etc) bubbles, text and overall look and feel of the chapter. This process takes the longest. I dont stream this process because it's boring af. Despite having a script to follow, you see me erasing stuff all the time, scrapping whole chapters and starting from scratch. Also the text is visible. You don't want spoilers.
There's a HUGE difference between writing out a script and executing it into comic form.
You could just have one simple line "Nol's father bumps into Shin Ae" and it could easily turn into 10 panels. And sometimes some things look better in writing than in drawing.
Tuesday:
Sometimes I'm still storyboarding because I'm not satisfied with my work from Monday. Once I'm satisfied I start doing backgrounds and sketching.
Wednesday:
Still sketching. I also start lining, hopefully coloring. This is when I am most likely to live stream.
Thursday:
Final Stretch. Shading and final touches. Send over to webtoons.
Repeat the cycle.

You mentioned Kousuke would have had a cat if not for Jumin Han (R.I.P Kousuke's Kitty, A moment of silence for our fallen comrade) What would said cat's name be had his ragdoll greatness ever graced our screens😂😂😂??

His cat was named Perseus.
Nol would have annoyed Kousuke by constantly calling him Purr-seus LOL
Too bad that will never happen ; v ;

Hi Quimchee, I know you use clip studio paint for drawing, but I noticed that you also use photoshop, I was just wondering what do you use that for?
I'm asking as an aspiring comic artist who want's to post their own comic on webtoon one day, so I'm curious as to the whole process of using both CSP and Photoshop.
love ILY, stay healthy and block out da haters. :)
quimchee
I draw my episodes in long strips on Clip Studio.
Since Webtoons only allows image sizes of up to 800x1280, I use Photoshop to cut up the long strips I draw in clip studio.

If ILY got translated into Japanese would Kousuke be addressed as Kousuke-kun or Kousuke-sama? Or Nol-chan? 😂

Really depends on who is addressing who XD
Kid Nol would address Kousuke as onii-san
Older Nol would just say Kousuke
Meg would address Kousuke as Kousuke-kun
Kousuke would just address Nol as Nol

Why did you make ILY about a love triangle if it was based off P&P? Is there a special reason why ?

Hi Quimchee, I got a question to you. As an author, I remember you say you don't want to make things very obvious and wanted to leave some things to your readers interpretations. But do you have some time where you just want to laid out some facts because some readers are so misinformed? Like some readers can't tell sarcasm and still thinks Kousuke is gay and 12 years old. Then there's some who still thinks Alyssa is the lost sister of Shin Ae.
quimchee
It does get frustrating but plenty of those readers are reaaaaaally young so it's understandable. They can't quite detect sarcasm yet.
Some people from different countries/cultures also don't understand the concept of sarcasm.
As for Alyssa, some just try to find answers anywhere they could find XD
I'll let the story clear things up in due time.

What about Nol? What kind of dog would he like?...
Kousuke could breed... fish, right? They're nice too xD
quimchee
Nol can't choose a breed XD he'd adopt all dogs if he could. He would have a soft spot for dogs in animal shelters though.
And Kousuke will stick to cats XD.
If there's a character that would have fish, it would either be Soushi or Min Hyuk.
Anon 28 Apr
Ok so this may be a dumb question and im probably reading way to into things that dont matter lol. I was going back and rereading old chapters and read the prologue. The scene where a car drives by and sashes Shin Ae, you can vaguely see the people in the car. The person is a red head and wearing a yellow hoodie which weve seen Nol wear before. The people in the front even tho blury look vaguely like his and Kousukes parents. Was this Nols first appearance or am i reading way to into just a blurry background image 😂
quimchee
Nol is in the back, the two people in the front are Kousuke and the driver.
So it's both Kousuke AND Nol's first appearance.

Kousuke takes at least one nap everyday. He has a nice big couch in his office for a reason. Being well-rested increase productivity 😂😂😂
Shin Ae would also nap once a day as a break from studying.
Soushi naps too often and they end up turning into long slumbers 😂😂😂
Yeong Gi would try not to nap but end up dozing off at random places for 5-10 minutes if he gets too exhausted
The only time I nap is Thursday morning.

Kousuke follows the Korean 10 Step Skin care Routine, on top of using clean pillows every night, as well as eating well balanced meals everyday and regular visits to the dermatologist for problem spots on his face. And money. 😂😂😂

Some hints:
His given name is intended to be ironic.

"A disappearing lake"
"One that assists"
I think I answered a question before saying Rand and Nol are one of the few people in the comic with middle names?

This may be an odd question, but do you know type of suit Nol is wearing for the formal? I really like it but I can't seem to find the name of it anywhere. lol

He's just wearing your average single breasted suit jacket with peaked lapels and pants. He's wearing a scarf over the jacket too.
It's all in a British cut instead of the American cut though. So everythings a bit more fitted.

Have you revealed Nol’s full name before? I heard it’s pretty long but I thought it’s just Yeong-gi Hirahara

Hey quim! I don’t know if this has been answered yet, but what gave you the courage/or push to start making a weebtoon. I wonder because you wanted to be a doctor, and worked as a nurse. What made you decide that you were going forward and actually make this! :)
(Also love love love this webtoon) honestly thank you for making it, I look forward to it every week!

First, it was for relieving stress and boredom. Healthcare can get hectic and drawing was therapeutic. Since it was something looked down upon by my family, I also did it in secret.
Only a few of my friends, my little sister, and my bf knew about it even after Webtoons offered me a contract with them.
It wasn't until I was invited to go to New York Comic Con 2017 that I broke the news to my parents.

It's the lighting. Part of it.
I draw most of my illustrations on Clip Studio but Webtoons works with Photoshop Documents instead of Clip. While saving the file as a PSD something must have happened to the lighting layers and it changed the overall color and tone of the image, it's most noticeable on Shin-Ae's hair.

Quim, since the characters' outfit is already finalized disregarding the fact that we've only seen a few.. which would you wear if you come to the formal?
quimchee
Black because white makes me look like an oompa loompa
Anon 20 Apr
how tall are the characters? shin ae looks around 5'7'' so is rand over 7 feet? and is yeong gi gonna be taller than his dad? that would be crazy
quimchee
Shin Ae is about 5'3-4"
No, Yeong Gi is not gonna be taller than his dad 😂😂😂 that would make him a giant

Congrats on the launch of ILY on Webtoons Indonesia! I know Indonesians will love it a lot! But, I'm afraid that the number of immature fans who bother you might increase dramatically. I hate to say this but there are many... many immature and annoying Indonesian fans. Please never let any of them make you feel stressed or sad (if they bother you)! I wish nothing but the best for you and ILY. Have a nice day!
quimchee
Thank you!!!!
And hey, If they bother me in Indonesian it's okay. Because I won't understand what they're saying 😂😂😂

Is there a specific reason for giving certain characters black or white colors in the formal? I tend to over analyze things so mabye im looking to deep 😂

Have you ever seen new girl? Wjat about Jessica Jones? Will we see any more badass ShinAe scenes?Any Shinae scenes on the future?

I've never seen New Girl but I do enjoy Jessica Jones.

Was the love triangle inspired by the hunger games? Was shinae inspired by any other characters other than yhe opposite traits of shoujo characters?
quimchee
No. Nothing was inspired by the hunger games.

Hey Quim. I’ve been wanting to make my own comic but I noticed you mention rude shippers. Or rude people in general. I don’t think my stuff could ever be as popular as yours. But hearing about these rude people make me nervous. From your experience,Should I still go through with it still? And how do you deal with it?
quimchee
Try to avoid the comment section. Because people in discover aim to be featured, there's competition and lots of people are gonna try and bring you down. The rude comments in the discover section are terrible. I'm speaking from experience.
Find people you could vent to (I had lifelight and my bf during my discover days), especially other creators, since they would understand what you're going through the most.
Anon 17 Apr
Is it "kwim- or "kim"- chee, was how you pronounce your pen name?
quimchee
It's actually pronounced Kim- (because my last name is pronounced kim) but too many people mispronounce it as Kwim- that I gave up correcting them 😂
Anon 17 Apr
how far were you into the comic before you redrew everything (not sure where I heard this from) and when it was still on discover?

Does Nol go these formal parties often because it seems that people know of his name but not his face?
quimchee
Ahaha yeah there's a simple reason behind it actually XD
Anon 17 Apr
You did have your end game in mind when you first wrote ILY? Have you changed it or thinking about changing anything since you're rewriting? (I'm sorry that fans who bully you)
quimchee
When I first wrote ILY, I didn't put too much thought into the endgame. My reasons were too simple. It was too basic. Looking back I actually cringe.
My reason for the ending since the rewrite puts into account several different factors.
Also to clarify,
I AM NOT REWRITING ANYTHING.
When I say rewrite, I meant from the version I did in high school that only a few of my friends read.
The ILY we are reading now is a reboot of a story I kept hidden from my family and peers in the past.
My plans have not changed since publishing on Webtoons.
And no need to apologize.
Anon 16 Apr
Just wondering, with the theory that Nol is an abbrev for a name that is much harder to pronounce, could Nol's real name possibly be Arnold Schwarzenegger? Y'know, with those abs, he could be the next Mr. Universe XD
quimchee
His name isn't hard to pronounce. His name is kinda long though.
Anon 16 Apr
Just wondering have you ever based Shin Ae's wardrobe off your own?? Just from what I have seen of images of you at C2C2 I couldn't help but notice your natural predilection towards baseball tees and caps with booties? Or was it just for fan service??
quimchee
That was for fan service.
My wardrobe mostly consists of hoodies, gaming or music related graphic tees and skinny jeans lol
I do like hats though. I have a whole bunch of hats XD

She's in her 40s
Anon 15 Apr
some of your fans are so rude. especially the kousuke fans.
quimchee
There are definitely certain types of people/attention/personalities that Kousuke attracts that Nol doesn't from what I've observed.
I've also seen them when I was in C2E2. (They gave away Nol pins and Qtip pins in the booths so we could tell apart the ships during the autograph signings 😂😂😂 I saw a pattern in the shippers lmao)
Just be careful not to label all the kousuke shippers as rude. There are lots of silent readers and rude people just tend to be very vocal.
Anon 15 Apr
I would have love both pins (why only pick one?) but I live in Germany. Any chance that you'll do a giveaway of any pins that were leftover?

Why was there a ten minute delay?
quimchee
Once again i ran out of time. It takes time for me to export images, slice them, send them to webtoons, and have staff upload them.
Anon 14 Apr
Did the your editor change the part in the comic where Nol asks for makeup from 2 ladies? It looks different for some reason..
quimchee
Actually no. I ran out of time last night and I had to turn in the episode unfinished (at least to me it was)
So while the episode was already uploaded , I was still editing colors to the shadows, added some music notes in the background, rearranged some bubbles and did some minor edits to panels to add to the flow and etc.
Anon 14 Apr
who have you told the endgame is? or how many people know?
quimchee
At this point only my bf and my little sister know.
I do have two close friends that have been reading the comic since high school but they still don't know who end game is.
Even after all the rewriting, one is a Kousuke shipper, the other a Nol shipper 😂😂😂
Anon 14 Apr
Does your editor know the end game ??
quimchee
No he doesn't. He just wants to make sure I treat both guys equally.
Anon 14 Apr
Is Shin’s hairstyle in the banner also an old sketch? Cuz I’m kinda feeling her hair in the latest ep.?
quimchee
Yes everything on the banner is an old sketch. Only the background is new 😂
Anon 14 Apr
But Quimchee, you gave an important spoiler out during one of your insta stories saying that Shin Ae finds out after the formal whom she likes. Do you still agree on that statement?
quimchee
This will all depend on the reader's interpretation because it can be read in many different ways.
You guys already know how I don't like things to be obvious. Where's the fun in that.
Anon 13 Apr
Omg Nol was so sweet to Shinae. 😍 He was genuinely caring and attentive towards her. What a great guy.
Will Kousuke get more screentime next episode? (Looking forward his reaction to Shinae's makeup look :O )
Btw congrats on her design. She looked absolutely natural even with her makeup look. I liked how Nol said she looks sad instead bursting out the obvious that she looks amazing. You mentioned you try to balance out the Nol/QTips parts so I hope we will get more Kousuke interaction.
quimchee
Obviously Kousuke will have interactions but Yeong Gi needs his moment to shine as well.
When i said balancing I meant overall. So far Kousuke has had the most. Even my own editor says I've been treating Yeong Gi unfairly and giving Kousuke too many powerful/well executed moments while Yeong Gi is just... there.
Anon 13 Apr
I just wanted to let you know that in the display on Webtoons, kousuke is in a black suit but when his mom picked him up he was in a white suit.
quimchee
That was an old sketch 😂 my editor really wanted to put up a banner and I had no illustration ready and used that instead.
Anon 9 Apr
Hey quimchee! I was wondering, would kousuke have treated nol any different if he was a girl, back when they first met as little kids? (You know like in chapter 20) would he had been nicer?
quimchee
He wouldn't have treated Nol any differently.
Anon 9 Apr
hi quim! how did it go? i hope you weren't exhausted during c2e2
quimchee
Already am but I gotta keep working ; - ; everybody on webtoons is exhausted lol
Anon 8 Apr
I like how people complain about Kousukes age in this but a lot of people have bigger age differences in relationships irl. And they’re not even going out and no feelings have been confirmed yet 😂
quimchee
The issue isn't the age gap. Age gaps mean nothing past a certain age, the problem is that Shin Ae is still a minor.
Anon 6 Apr
Is it even confirmed that Nol likes ShinAe in a romantic way? He could be nice to her like a good person for Diete'rs sake... .XD
quimchee
Only Dieter has been confirmed to like Shin Ae romantically. No one else.
Anon 5 Apr
Is it even confirmed that Kousuke likes ShinAe in a romantic way? He could just be nice to her like a good person for Nol's sake.
quimchee
Nope. It was never confirmed 😂😂😂
Anon 5 Apr
Why does Kousuke have to be part of the love triangle? He old af and has nothing in common with Shinae

A lot of people would argue the same with Nol except switch "old af" with "he has a gf"

Do you sometimes have a hard time drawing Kousuke as well as the other characters too?

No. Kousuke is easy af. Too easy (honestly sometimes it's no fun. I like a challenge even though it makes me cry lol). Even Kenny thinks he's a breeze 😂

Is I Love Yoo going on a break too once the convention in Chicago starts?
quimchee
Shorter episodes instead of breaks since I will be losing days.
Anon 1 Apr
When you say mature themes do mean like mental illnesses, toxic relationships, abuse, and addiction. I would consider all of these mature themes personally. Some of these will make sense in the story.
quimchee
I, too, would also consider those listed above as mature themes and they don't have to be blatantly obvious as well.
Anon 1 Apr
Hi, I read that the theme would be more mature in the future but i want to know.. Is there going to be a sex scene? I'm 26 years old but sex scenes still makes me uncomfortable. Im not saying you should not make those kind of scene because it's your story after all. I just want to mentally prepare myself when it comes to those kind of things...
quimchee
Once again mature themes does not equal lots of sex.
You can have a mature comic with zero violence and zero sex but still be considered mature.

In the beginning of the story, Dieter mentions Q-tip is known among the ladies. However, Kousuke's mother seems to be worried about him not committing to any/currently dating. Does it mean Kousuke's hiding something? Or maybe he's like Batman, and playboy Bruce is just his alter ego? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This may be a stupid question and the answer is probably no but are you going to continue creating ship illustrations just for fun even when it isn’t cannon?

I hope Yeong Gi has a good end! Will you continue the ships till late in the story or will there be a definite ship way before that? I don't think he'll be with Shin Ae at this point but I still hope he finds a good love.

I'm not gonna stop people from shipping so keep on shipping whether the ship be cAnon or not!

Since kousuke sleeps on his back, does he snores?

quimchee
1.) His overall design ( hair, facial structure, eyes, clothing, body)
2.) Expressions
3.) Body Language and posing

I think your favorite character is probably yeongi as you prefer drawing him more like in livestreams even you say that drawing him is more difficult than qtip. Is that true? Please don't say that I like them both equally as fans clearly se that you defend his characters most of the time than others.
quimchee
This is just a wild guess. You were either not there when I streamed around Christmas or probably didn't pay attention or participate in the stream chat.
Dig through my Twitter deep enough you'll see which character is my favorite to draw, which also happens to change from time to time.
As for "defending"
Let's say we have 2 kids. Kid A and Kid B. Both Kids get bullied. I help both kids out. Kid A gets beat up 20 times. I help Kid A 20 times. Kid B gets beat up 5 times, I help him 5 times.
Does that mean I like Kid A more?
Anon 23 Mar

Would you say the art style you used when you got featured is easier than the art style now and if it is would you go back or not since you dont want to make a drastic change? Hope this makes since.
quimchee
There some pros and cons.
Episodes back then were done a lot quicker because my lineart was pretty much my sketches 😅 coloring was pretty tough though because the boundaries weren't that clear. Using the fill tool was also a pain.
Obviously my art style now is cleaner but it does take a lot more time. I do spend less time coloring now.

What would Kousuke,ShinAe and Nol have for lunch and dinner?

I only use 6b pencil 100% opacity for lines. Nothing set for size of lines since I'm always adjusting it. Round brush and flat brush for coloring no set opacity and size sinc I'm shifting those around constantly as well.

Hello, quimchee! How are you doing?
I enjoy your webtoon I love yoo and I couldn't stop reading it, so now I'm waiting for more episodes and I have questions for you. who is your favorite character in I love yoo? Do you have a pet or pets? If so what are their names? I have a dog and his name is Wasabi. What do you like to draw? This is a random question, do you watch vines?. If you do, do you have a favorite? And what inspired your art style?
quimchee
1. I'm doing well! Treatment is going smoothly so far! Had a few attacks but at least it isn't constant pain for 24 hours for more than a week 😅 I'll be seeing my neurologist again in 2 weeks though.
2. Don't make me choose 😂 I did have a lot of fun writing Rand though.
3. Wasabi is an adorable name for a dog! I've got a dog too. 3 doggos! Mochi, Kuma, and Kiba!

Why did you decide to draw ILY? Aside from the fact that you already had the characters created in high school. Was it because you wanted to portray a certain aspects of society, you want to send out a message or just because you love drawing?
quimchee
Several things:
First: I love drawing
Second: it was the easiest out of all my ideas to draw.
Third: Yes, theres aspects of society I wanted to portray and there were a few points I wanted to make (some I haven't yet but will be in the future)
Fourth: This one I won't reveal until I finish the entire story lol
Anon 11 Mar
What kind of couple do you find more interesting, cinnamon roll + tsundere OR tsundere + tsundere??

When it comes to couples, I care more about how the relationship is written. So I don't really find one more interesting than the other, because when it isn't handled correctly, it just falls flat.

In Siren’s Lament , Ian is being bashed for his bad timing which understandable. What comment do you have on this?

Theres actually more to his "bad timing" as well but I can only keep it to myself 😅 Sorry don't wanna get yelled at lol

You guys know I like Ian better as a character but It's gonna take a lot more than that to get me excited.

I'm actually more interested in what the grandma has to say.
Anon 9 Mar
I remember when ILY started I was all team nol then I was all confused about the ships then I was leaning toward team Qtip and right now I’m just team shin ae x happiness. I feel like she’s been through so much yet she’s still so strong and she still has some hope like I just want my deep dish pizza to be okay...she needs a break, her dad needs a brake nol needs to be cut some slack kousuke needs to go on vacation mama Qtip needs to stay in her lane QUIMCHEE NEEDs a break...I just want everyone to be happy. Can’t we all just be friends?😩😩
quimchee
Yes. XD
Anon 9 Mar
I hope you're resting well both physically and mentally, quimchee! also, I was wondering if we're going to see shin-ae's thoughts as she starts to develops romantic feelings? Like, for instance, right now we can't see Nol's and Kousuke's thoughts so we don't know for sure what the intentions are behind their actions. Will it be more obvious as Shin-ae grows closer to either of the boys?
quimchee
We will see Shin-Ae's thought processes for the most part. As for Nol and Kousuke, theirs won't be revealed until their POV episodes arrive.
Anon 9 Mar
hi quimchee! hope you’re taking it easy
i had a question...has shin-ae ever been romantically attracted to anyone?
has Nol?
has kousuke?

Kousuke goes for regular ties unless his mother suggests otherwise.

If i am not mistaken i have seen in paterons that you have posted a sneak a peek of the formal..

Oh and it was on November last year .. i was kinda shocked i was like quimchee is already prepared for the formal ? What?
oh btw when u release the new episode on 23rd march will there be the formal ? I am way too excited to it!
ANYWAYS I WISH YOU A HAPPY BREAK !! WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU ! ❤️✨

It's more of a peek of their outfits. Some of them weren't final.
Episode on the 23rd will be the continuation and the week after begins immediately with the formal. I'm splitting some episodes so I don't trigger attacks 😅
And thank you! ; v ;
Anon 9 Mar
What is the biggest physical fight ( they seem to punch each other alot) that nol and kousuke have gotten into? E.g. my siblings once fought each other with 5 inch heels and broke a glass window. P.s. i hope you get better soon :^)

They've actually only gotten into one physical fight when they were young.
Anon 9 Mar
Out of all your characters, who would do the best if they were to play a game of murderball? (A friend of mine plays and honestly it’s terrifying/so interesting to watch)

Again this is all according to the Pottermore website 😂😂😂
Shin Ae - Impala
Was sorta expecting a deer of some sort as her Patronus so this was pretty close. *Pats self on back*
Kousuke - Stoat
I was expecting something awesome and cool. A large majestic animal. But he got something
so smol 😂😂😂
Nol - Black Stallion
My expectations for him were opposite from Kousuke. Something small or just average. Maybe a badger, a mole idk something that doesn't catch the eye 😂😂😂
Me - Lioness
Idk why I was expecting some sort of smol fish for myself XD

At what age did nol get his glasses?
quimchee
Around his pre-teens.

Will you try do to shorter chapters so you won't strain yourself? Or maybe get an assistant to help you? I don't know if it may be possible but hopefully so.

There are no signs of internal bleeding and it doesn't seem like it's at risk of rupturing thank goodness! My brain just needs to be monitored. We want to avoid surgery as much as possible especially since the location of the abnormality is incredibly difficult and high risk procedure so the best for me is maintenance and preventative measures ; - ;
I need to make sure I get plenty of sleep, don't overwork, avoid stress, eat properly, exercise, hydrate (all the things I haven't been doing LOL).
Edit: ^^ This is to avoid triggering any attacks.
I'll be on prescription meds to help with the maintenance and pain for the next few years and minimize severity of attacks.

do your prints have the capability sell out (like will the producer stop printing after a certain amount) because im on the slow grueling process of convincing my parents to buy one an don't want to face seeing the painful "sold out" sign that wrecks the hearts of millions of sad souls
quimchee
Nope! They won't sell out :)
Anon 7 Mar
I hope that meds and rest are helping you feel better quimchee. Wish there was something we could do to help alleviate some stress.
Also, I always thought 'Nol' as a name was strange because its the more familiar/rude form of 'you' in Korean, and not used as a name...but I realized it could be short for Nolan. Then someone (Mrs. Hirahara?) used it inappropriately in a derogatory manner, so he doesn't like it anymore. Just a thought I guess.
Makes me wonder, does Kousuke also have an English name? Also, not sure if this has been asked, but which members of the cast have nicknames?
quimchee
Kousuke's name is just Kousuke 😅 much simpler than Nol lol His name is already perfect the way it is XD
As I've said before, 'Nol' has multiple meanings! One of the many reasons why I prefer using it over Yeong-Gi XD again, I'm sorry Nol, I know you hate it ; - ;
As for other nicknames, Dieter's sister playfully addresses him as Didi 😂😂😂😂
And Rand is obviously short for Randulph.

Tragedy happens to a school. One of the girls that survives ends up with abilities. The powers are sorta similar to having chakra from Naruto and she can do jutsus and stuff except without all the countless hand signs??? 😂
She finds out in some dream there are other students that got abilities too and tries to gather them all together, theres a power struggle between everybody, yada yada
They discover there's a parallel world and an evil person trying to steal their abilities to rule the world and people get murdered
Sounds really cliche right? 😂😂😂

Anon 5 Mar
So judging from your post below is Kousuke something of an introvert? I'm guessing Yeong G is an extrovert and Shin Ae probably an introvert?
quimchee
Although his MBTI test result labeled him as an extrovert, I would say Nol is more of an ambivert.
And yes, Kousuke and Shin Ae are both introverts.
Anon 5 Mar
I am wondering if Kousuke is able to have fun (By that I mean parties, dancing, hanging out without friends. I dont diminish reading books. reading is also a way to spend great time). I know he will never be party lion type but he's still young and rich (being rich is never an obstacle lol) and going to parties seems pretty normal thing to me. I'm team qtip btw
quimchee
He attends parties and although he sometimes does it to save face or play politics, he does enjoy himself to an extent. It's just really draining.
What constitutes as fun to him just isn't the same as everyone else. He treasures his time alone and prefers to engage in activities with limited interactions with people.

Are you ever going to sell I Love Yoo merch? Like pins, badges, posters, tshirts, etc..?

For what reasons did you stop shipping Ian with Lyra?
(I found Ian's charcter to be promising in the beginning, and I expected a bit more of his humanity and past to be revealed to the audience already. But it's already S2 and I don't feel particularly attached to Ian as I first thought I would.)

There are actually plenty of reasons but i dont want to discuss all of them here 😅
One of the biggest reasons though: unless Miso has some huge twists at the end in store, the story is set up for Shon and Lyra.

Just curious, have your feelings towards Shon changed now that he became a Siren to save Lyra?
quimchee
Nah my feelings haven't changed. I was always for Ian. But do I ship him? No. I stopped shipping Ian about 50 episodes ago.
Shon and Lyra can have each other.
One of the problems I have with Shon is that he's a little too perfect and safely written as a character. He never felt real to me. So I never empathized with his character very well and the same goes for Lyra.
One thing I can admit though, Shon looks damn good as a Siren. More so than Ian XD
Anon 4 Mar
How is recovery going? Please rest!! We love your comic, but we will survive if you need a break!!

Didn’t Nol have a girlfriend? Why does he have a ship with Shin Ae?

The Patronus wasn't me. That was Jk Rowling ok XD I just took the test on her website.

Has anyone guessed all the lies right? If so, will you be revealing what's right for you and the boys?

I'll reveal my lie sometime this week. The story will reveal Nol and Kousuke's lies.
Edit:
My lie: I didn't see my parents until my teens! (Well it's half true half not) I was with them for my early childhood until they began working overseas. So I ended up getting raised by my older brothers. Didn't see my parents again until I was 14 XD
Truths:
I have been stranded on an island once with my bf 😂 we were on vacation in Southeast Asia and we missed the boat leaving the small island we were in and a typhoon hit so we were stuck there until the storm subsided and another boat came. And my bf had food poisoning too 😂😂😂 awesome vacation LOL
And I have indeed gone to a Catholic School for a decade XD Preschool all the way to 7th grade and a part of 8th grade.

Do you get biased with popular characters(reasons like fanbase) in the sense you start rooting for the other lead just because he is less popular? I think you must have been prepared that one character will be popular that the other, did that in anyway affected how you wrote the story.
*If the above question acts as spoiler no need to answer*
Also what is Nol's and Kousuke's height?
And... I love your story the character, the humour and the art.
That pandemonium joke part killed me.
quimchee
No: The story is already laid out so the writing won't get affected by how popular certain characters get. I say prepared not only because of popular character archetypes but also because some get development and moments before others do.
But yes, I do root for characters that are less popular but not in a shipping sense. More like moral support. In the beginning I was "rooting" for Kousuke, now it's Yeong Gi that's getting my moral support. Kousuke gets a ton of that from his fans now lol
As for their heights
Kousuke - 5'11
Yeong Gi - 6'0 at this point in the story but he's still a growing kid.
I don't express them accurately in comic most of the time for "camera work" (even though it's just a comic lol)

what houses on harry potter would the characters go to??????

Kousuke - Slytherin but Ravenclaw is also a possibility.
Nol - Hufflepuff but Gryffindor can also work
Shin Ae - Ravenclaw/Gryffindor she can fit in any house tbh lol
Also in case people jump into conclusions or don't understand too much about the houses:
Slytherin is not a house of all terrible people and Hufflepuff is not a house of lame losers XD
Edit:
Their official Houses based off the results on Pottermore since I made accounts for all three to find out their Patronus 😂😂😂
Kousuke - Slytherin (I was right XD)
Nol - Hufflepuff (I was right again XD)

LOL after all of that here’s my question, will you touch on both Kousukes and Nols past in the future? And will one of their pasts get more time to be analyzed than the others because of its detail?

Yes! Their pasts will definitely be touched on! Nol and Kousuke's past are interconnected for the most part so the details are about even.

We'll just have to wait and see. You may end up liking him more, you may not.

Why reveal the inspiration for Kousuke? Isn’t that also a big spoiler? Wouldn’t it have been better to reveal both when the story is over? Lol

Because, again, the Kousuke one is a no brainer. Anyone who has read P&P can see it a mile away.
Edit: also to clarify, Kousuke isn't 100% like Darcy but what I'm saying is revealing Kousuke being based off Darcy doesn't really change people's outlook of the character.
Let's say for example, if Marshall from Let's Play is revealed to be based off Markiplier, (not confirmed lol I'm just making this up) people's opinion of Marshall won't really change.
Nol's case is completely different.

quimchee
Ahaha thats understandable. And good for you!
Thats the problem not only a lot of fans have from both the Kousuke and Nol sides, but also real people in general. We are so focused on looking at someone or something in one way we can't see anything else beyond what we think and know. And because of this we don't bother to understand and overlook what's in front of us.
Like people will just see Nol as just another bubbly guy with a troubled past and Kousuke as another cold hearted dude that is actually really sweet.

On your ig story Nol looks alot like his dad. How were you able to make the characters look like their parents other than kousuke?

Characters all sorta have distinguishing features beyond their color palette such as eye shape, jawline, facial structure and etc.

I also started to pay attention to things he does and understand him more. I hope all the other fans can also give him a chance and see what a good guy he is instead of harassing you in dms. I honestly love the story sooo much, it’s so realistic and it’s my favourite webtoon so far. I’ve also noticed a great improvement in the art and I bet everyone can see how much work you put in this❤️(PS:I love yeong gi’s puns😂)
quimchee
It's not the toxic shippers that made you switch right? I really hope not 😣
I mean if it is the random little stuff like movies they like, music they're into, games, then I understand since you don't really get to learn that kind of stuff in the comic.

Since Shin-Ae is physically weak does that mean the boy she beat up in lower grade school extremely wimpy?

Are any of the characters unreliable narrators/ have shown us distorted memories👀?

No one's memories are ever 100% accurate since there are several sides to it and our brain can change our recollection of events.
Memories shown in the comic so far are true to the character remembering it.

For the Nol shippers out there, is there going to be a pushy character (like Kousukes mom for the Shinsuke ship) for the Shin-Gi ship?

Not really? Idk XD I mean there was Maya in the beginning but she backed off and is still feeling awkward. There is another character, however, that will juxtapose Mrs. Hirahara.
Anon 11 Feb
I keep on scrolling down and see that every time someone asks about Kousuke fighting another person that he would lose. Soooooo does that mean he is weaker than most/all of the characters and does that mean that pretty much everyone could kick his butt 😂? (Also would he win against our girl Shin-Ae?)
quimchee
The only people Kousuke could possibly win against are Rika and definitely Shin Ae. Out of all the characters at this point of the story, Shin Ae is the weakest.

Since you said down below that people started jumping on the Shinsuke ship when he gave her makeup remover to wash the stuff off of her face does that mean that’s when the Kousuke fans started emerging? Tbh I think the best moment they’ve had was at the party and that’s when I started shipping them 👌😂. Which part so far is your own personal preference for their best moment?

A lot of people actually hated Kousuke before the make up remover thing because of his "fatass" comments and tripping Shin Ae just for a piece of cake.

Does webtoon needs to approve everything you are doing with your comics ? Like check chapters before you post them or even ask you to change some panels ?

Chapters themselves don't need approval. But they do suggest edits on the execution, dialogue, angles and etc. To improve the overall chapter. They do not try to change your story though.
Only a story pitch needs to be approved by Webtoons.

I find really happy innocent puppy smiles really hard to do in ILYs style.if I'm not careful, it ends up like a creepy psycho ready to kill 😂
I chose to omit details on characters eyes to save time so it's a huge challenge to express a characters emotions.
Now my favorite expressions to draw are... negative ones 😅 crying/sadness, angry/pissed off. I just find such raw emotions beautiful.

Why is Mr. Hirahara's younger self so much better looking than Kousuke? He looks like he could be one of the main characters in another story. And I know characters in the story keep saying Q-Tip's good-looking. But I don't see he's that good-looking. His bangs look weird too, and his eyes... uhh. I think Yeongi will be even more popular with black/dark hair. But yes, yes he's a ginger.
quimchee
It's all a matter of preference. Some people like Kousuke's look some people prefer Yeong Gi. My bf for one likes Kousuke's design, while my sister loves Nol's. And my mom just likes how he looks angry all the time lmfao.
As for the father, I thought about doing a spin off about his life before Kousuke was born. I get detailed with all the characters backstrories but the detail in his was overkill it could be it's own comic tbh 😂😂😂

Idk, it kinda bothers me that there are so many very fast-paced romance webcomics. Often you learn like almost nothing about the characters or their backstories, so it's actually just about the characters making out after like.. 3 episodes lol. (And as a result, many readers expect other comics to be the same) I really love that ILY is different there. There's so so much to learn about the characters, the pace is perfect (*insert Patcha meme here*) and honestly, it's a pity that Webtoons made it romance first, cause I feel that drama would fit much better as the first genre and romance second. Anyway, you're doing an amazing job, quimchee! 😊 Keep it up!
quimchee
Yeah I get lots of people complaining about the comic not having enough romance because of it. "It's already episode 44 and all we got is hand holding and first name? There should have been a kiss already!"

How does the top 5 popular comics list on webtoons work? I see ILY is almost always number 1 then sometimes ILY goes down to 2 or 3. And today ILY isn't even on the list. (ILY is my favorite webtoon so I'm like WHAT?!) 😂
quimchee
It's hard to explain, but what happens is as soon as a new episode uploads or 7 days have past since a new episode, the comic starts all the way at the bottom of the popular list. As more and more people read, the comic climbs up the ladder.
So on the day a new episode comes out, you will see the comic is lower on the list because not many people have read it yet and much higher on the list as more days pass.

My friend digitally colored one of my drawings for me back in high school. I thought it was really cool and buying new sketchbooks and materials whenever I ran out was getting expensive.

Instead of Qtip, have fans overall started calling Kousuke 'Kousuke' more often now after episode 41 LOL 😂😂😂?

There are definitely more people calling him Kousuke now.

He's got shoes for every situation XDDD

Are you going to explore more on female friendship i.e. the friendship between Shin Ae, Maya, and Rika? Hopefully not frienemies but more like the supportive kinda friendship.

Does yeonggi love disney character so much? 😂 i read that he loves disney musical and probably getting lost in disneyland. And what disney character do you think will be resemble him? Goofy? 😂😂

Yeah he's a weird one. He loves dark shows but he also loves Disney XDDD And I guess Goofy would work (Especially Goofy movie Goofy). They are both tall and.... goofy LOL

To all toxic Shinsuke shippers, please be nice to quimchee or else I'm gonna slap all your derrières and it won't be nice. Shipping should be fun and not toxic. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Stop giving our ship a bad name.

*ehem* So my question is..do you like pineapple on your pizza or not? 😂
quimchee
THIS HERE^^^^^
I love any form of pizza and that includes pineapple on pizza please don't shoot me LOL
I like pineapple on pizza because I find the savory and sweet combo enjoyable. I also like pineapples in general. My grandma cooks lots of dishes that utilize pineapples so I may just be used to it. Okay maybe I just miss my grandma. I love my grandma ; - ;

What was your life like in hs? Like friends wise? Study-wise? Romance-wise ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
quimchee
Nothing too special lol. I was quiet, had a small group of friends, did track and field, AP and honors classes. Romance-wise, I was dense af LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I rejected several guys without even knowing I rejected them because of a language/culture barrier. I didn't find out until after college they asked me out back then.
Anon 6 Feb
I appreciate you loving us cause no one else does! 😭 lol I think the whole age gap thing is valid for both ships but the logic that hoping for a possible relationship between Shin and YG amounts to cheating when he doesn’t need to cheat in order for that to be possible. Also, a breakup doesn’t have to be about him having feelings for someone else but because they are just in a failed relationship. At the end of the day, they are just fictional characters. 😂
quimchee
Honestly though XD People REALLY need to chill out.
Anon 6 Feb
So both the brothers can't have a relationship with Shin-Ae yet 'coz she's a minor..therefore.. only Dieter can date her. ShiTer is real hahaha. I'm assuming he is as the same age as she is, lol. What are the characters' ages by the way?
quimchee
Yes! Dieter, Soushi, Maya, Rika and Shin Ae are all 17!
Alyssa on the other hand is 18, Meg is 24, Nol is turning 19 on his birthday and Kousuke is 2*
Anon 6 Feb
If dieter was a martial artist how many martial art will he know ? And I wonder if he could be a professionnel fighter? ^_^
quimchee
So far he only knows Judo.
Anon 6 Feb
sorry if this is a stupid question, but you've said before that a few people know who you ship but only your bf and sister know the end game. does that mean you ship a ship other than the end game (excluding Dieter bcs #shiter for the win) or have you only confirmed with your bf and sister who shin-ae ends up falling in love with?? idk if that makes sense but hopefully it does??
quimchee
Yes! My ship doesn't have to be the same as the endgame.
Anon 6 Feb
Is Nol like Jon Snow?
quimchee
I would say a mix of Jon Snow and Tyrion
Anon 6 Feb
Kousuke is to Tyrion as Soushi is to Cersei 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😂
quimchee
Actually Kousuke is to Jaime lol
Anon 6 Feb
Sorry Quinchee. Cheating and infidelity are WORSE compare to dating someone younger than 18. And we can definitely date someone younger. We just can't have sexual relationship. So the Yootip ship isn't bad. And fyi, Nol isn't a minor either. He's 18. He also can't have any sexual relationship with Shin Ae. So if we really have to include this age thing then Nol is worse. Please don't misinform the readers.
quimchee
See what I mean guys^^^^
I only explained the logic behind saying "Nol shippers are supporters of cheating" and then this happens.
Anon 6 Feb
Who do you prefer qtip shippers or nol shippers ? (I know this will bring many hate but why not know the answer lol)

Does qtip prefer cats or dogs?? (Or maybe he prefers a turtle?)
quimchee
He prefers cats. He's not a big fan of dogs XD
Anon 6 Feb
I'm pretty sure Nol is 18, an adult thus can't have a relationship with a minor deeper than just sinple dating. So he's in the same situation with Qtip?
quimchee
Yep! You got that right!
Anon 5 Feb
I hope both teams ( aegi and shinsuke ) would just chill, stop harassing you, and just let you tell your story. Harassing won't help make their ships cAnon and honestly, as a shipper it's also pissing me off. 💥💥 Relax, kids!! 💥💥 The world won't end when your ship doesn't become cAnon!!!

I don’t know if this has ever been asked, but is Shin based off of you in personality at all?

No. Her personality is the sum of several basic shoujo main characters turned upside down.
Anon 5 Feb
Isn't the age gap between Shin-Ae and Kousuke a little weird? I mean like no hate to the shippers but the age gap kind of worries me
quimchee
There isn't a problem with the gap per se, but Shin Ae is still a minor which makes Kousuke's age a problem. IRL It's odd for someone his age to get into a relationship with a high school student.
Both ships has its flaws and this is one of Kousuke's.

Do you find some of the Qtip shippers comments funny? (I’m a qtip shipper myself but DAYUM some of them be cringey at time)
quimchee
Yes LOL there's one in particular I see pop up in EVERY episode that I find hilarious:
"Those who ship Nol and Shin Ae support cheating"
I mean with that logic you could also say
"Those who ship Kousuke and Shin Ae support statutory rape"
or much worse
"Those who ship Kousuke and Shin Ae support pedophilia"

Are the customer's crazy complaints from episode 43 some of the real life experience your cousin had 😂😂😂???
quimchee
The terrible customers were my own experiences.
The stuff the my cousin did was he always made sure he told cashiers they're doing a great job/complimenting their work to boost their morale. Customer service jobs can wear down a person mentally/emotionally so I thought that was really sweet of my cousin to do.
Seriously, I've seen so many people breakdown and cry because of how terrible a customer can get.
Anon 5 Feb
You don’t have to answer this, but you have done a great job designing Dieter. He is neither hated/obsessed on so i think fans often overlook him due to his balanced nature. He’s such a sweetheart at times he brings peace to the story. I’d be really upset if he turns out to be a needy character towards shinae but i definetely wouldn’t mind them ending up together.

Thank you ; v ;
I have had a few fans hate on him and call him a p*ssy though during the time I posted the dieter doodles 😂

Does webtoons even allow mature content? Would you get in trouble with them?
quimchee
Yes they do! Sweet Home, Bastard, Bite Me are examples. Even Lookism contains mature themes.
The only time you would get in trouble is if you're basically drawing explicit porn or glorifying violence, promoting hate towards certain groups and etc.
Also, Mature content does not automatically mean smutty sex scenes. You can have a story with zero nudity and violence and still be considered mature.

I frequently listen to Adultchild 어른아이 and Tearliner. I love the atmosphere their music gives off.

When Kenny writes music for a specific chapter does he know the plot of it or is it random? Or does he write the music first and you just choose which chapter it goes with? I’m really curious how the process for the music works lol.

He gets to see the chapter before it gets posted so he makes the music as he reads.

I just read the questions you answered eariler .. and it made me really sad that there will be mature content in ily .. i know it is your story but i don’t really like seeing mature content in my favorite webcomic i loved this webtoon becoz it was only the webtoon that i found clean i didn’t read other webtoons but i am pretty sure they have mature content so i was so happy to find ily which is amazing romance comedy story and it is so good and i have told my sisters and friends to read since it is amazing but once there will be mature content idk what will my friend tell me that time it just scares me .. knowing that kousuke ain’t virgin makes me scared too what will he do to sin ae in the future ik the majority who reads ily r adult but i hope you do understand me as a girl .. it makes me really sad if i saw any sex scence or naked person in ily like the charscters there are too adorable to do things like that lol i hope you read this and understand me coz i love you quimchee and i know you are a shy girl so i hope so ... omg i wrote so long but pls answer this !!😑😑😑😑

Have you ever imagined what Shin-ae, Kousuke, Nol voice to sound like if someone ever did a voice dub?

Yes I have! Shin Ae's voice isn't high pitched, and both Kousuke and Nol have voices that are little bit deep. Nol's voice I imagine is not as deep as Kousukes though and it's also softer.
Anon 5 Feb
Do you think I'm wrong for preferring characters like Nol over Kousuke since they usually never work out? I get why character like Kousuke are popular but I just can't get as invested in them.

Yeong Gi - Hamilton or Burr (More so Burr)

Right now yes, it's very obvious Kousuke will win. However the events of the next episode and the formal might change people's minds, maybe not but we'll see. I'll do another poll after the formal takes place.

Which poll where Kousuke got 80%? I only know two polls. One on Twitter had 38% Qtip and 37% Nol. And the other one on Instagram where it's 60+% Nol and 30+% Qtip.

Those are all old polls. Back when kousuke didn't have much screentime. I did another one in my Insta story after the hand holding. I do most of the polls on my stories instead of posting them. Kousuke is winning by a landslide. And after the "call me kousuke" and the blush, you can bet he's gotten even more fans.

Isn't it obvious that Kousuke's fans would 'complain' about their character not being in an official trailer on Youtube and Facebook? It's uncommon or rare that a trailer doesn't have both the male leads, and that it only showed one but not the other. Not saying that it's your fault. Not many people know you had nothing to do with the trailer. But perhaps Kousuke's fan are vocal for a good reason? And there seems to be a lot of Nol fans too. The 'silent' fans... In ep 43, there are about 26K+ likes for Shin ae and Nol ship... that's a lot. Perhaps Qtip's fans are just more vocal?

Yep. You can see it on the Instagram comments, Twitter, Patreon, Facebook, Youtube, and Webtoons. Episodes where Kousuke doesnt show up or there's little screen time, people complain. I get DM's daily about Kousuke. I get so many questions on curiouscat asking about more Kousuke. People love Kousuke a lot lol.

Is it ok to call YG 'Nol'? Someone mentioned in the comments from the last ep that he hates it. I went back and in ep 9 he tells qtip not to call him that (I stopped re-reading at 11 tho so maybe theres more to it idk I could be wrong lol) so... does he hate that name or does he hate qtip calling him that? On the other hand, I suppose kousuke wouldn't be happy with people calling him qtip either so maybe it's a little ok lol
quimchee
Yes! You can go ahead and call him Nol :)
Anon Feb
I might be wrong about this, but the chapters with music are usually ones that featured Nol (with the exception of Kousuke’s corner? Is there a reason?

There's no reason since Kenny does music when he feels like it and when he has the time. I don't ask him to make them.

im planning on uploading my story on Discover, may i ask what requirements do they prioritize when picking webtoons? is it the amount of hearts and positive feedback? how did I Love Yoo get featured? ♡
quimchee
I honestly do not know. Popularity, hearts, ratings, positive feedback... not really as a lot of webtoons that got featured weren't popular on discover. It's all up to what the team of editors of webtoons think.
My comic didn't get featured because it was popular either. I can't disclose the reason ILY got featured because my editor told me not to share it but it definitely wasn't because of popularity.
Anon 31 Jan
What is ‘discover’
quimchee
Webtoons has 2 sections. "Featured" and "Discover."
Discover is where anyone can upload their stories independently for free.
Featured is where you have stories from artists that have contracts with Webtoons.
Once in while Webtoons picks out stories from "Discover" to move over to "Featured."
Just like YouTube. Anyone can upload videos but only some are paid to upload content.

in the oldest thumbnail of ILY the guy shin-ae is leaning against, is he the one who she is going to end up with?
quimchee
No. I used to experiment thumbnails once in a while back in discover to see which generated more subscribers. The leaning thumbnail generated the most subs so I kept it (the leaning one was actually her dad. But I erased his face, and removed the hair so no one could tell. So he was pretty much just a faceless bald dude 😂)
What I learned, people on discover click on thumbnails that look like there's going to be shipping.
My discover thumbnails you could say were just clickbait LOL
Sorry everyone XD
Edit: that was actually the last thumbnail for ILY when it was on discover before Webtoons picked it up. Previous thumbnails included the trio and another was Shin Ae and MinHyuk

The thing that makes your story stands out from other typical ones is it's "realism",the thing I crave and always looking out for, in slice of life and romance stories, plot is well crafted and put out, pace is perfect, and the characters are far from any cliche types found in ordinary shoujo type stories though from apparent they may bear some similarities with them but then so do all of us people in real life... so that being said whoever you choose to end Shin ae up with, imo it would be reasonable and realistic, far from just being any cliche pairing.. (And I'm a loyal Q xYoo tip shipper from the start, but basing that on solid reasonable reasons, there's much more to Kousuke's character than being only the cold, rude, hunky, good-at-everything(though we know Kousuke is not fancifully perfect at everything, thankgoodness :)) , aloof type, typically found in mediocre stories that make people (mostly girls) fall for that type immediately and staunchly supported protagonist of their ship.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this!
It's a breath of fresh air from the thousands of "QTIP all the way, hes so hot and Nol is a player and just misses his gf" or "Nol all the way, hes so cute, Qtip is an asshole and mean."

The shipping fandom in ILY is intense. This reminded me of Avatar the Last Airbender. Have you seen it? It was Kataang vs Zutara xD The shipping fandom really exploded. In the end, Kataang won. The male lead who ended up with Katara was the happy/carefree younger Aang, instead of the dark/sentimental older Zuko. Will ILY have the same fate? I was a Zutarian (age 13 at that time). But I'm ready to die with Yootip too (26 now). I dig older age romances, and characters with lots of growth.

I was a huge Zutara fan so I did lots of research and did you know Zutara was supposed to be endgame? But the creators changed it because Aang wouldve ended up alone otherwise 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is there a reason why Min-Hyuk has a hyphen where as Shin Ae and Yeong Gi don't?
quimchee
Not really. I'm just being inconsistent with the names there 😅
Anon 28 Jan
Will there be more eps like the arcade (where everyone is together)?
quimchee
Not until after the formal.
Anon 28 Jan
Wait are Shin Ae and Kouske going to end up with each other? I read that you read KousukeXShinAe fan fics and Kouske even has his own short! Is this foretelling of them getting together or just compensation for him not ending up with her??
quimchee
I only read kousuke fan fics because no one made any Nol fan fics yet 😂😂😂😂
As for Kousuke's Corner. Yeong Gi was supposed to have his own version too but I couldn't come up with a title I liked.
Anon 28 Jan
How do you make time for your boyfriend if all you do is draw the episodes 24/7??😂💀

are there episodes you regret making?
quimchee
None, but there are episodes I wish I had more time to work on.
Anon 28 Jan
In Kousuke's corner the panel with colors was cut, so I don't understand. Blue, yellow and green are favourite colors of characters or just colors that represent them?

Not just their eyes, but also their clothes (most of the time)
Anon 28 Jan
Will we see any more Kenny tracks on ILY ?

Probably not in a while. Its a little tricky with ILY because one moment you get a comedic scene and the next one you get something sad, then comedic again lol

How many episodes until the formal?

1 or 2. Depends on how much of Ep 43 I can complete before the deadline

Kousuke - Documentaries or anything informative
Shin Ae - Drama? Not Kdramas XD something more like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, House of Cards and etc.
Yeong Gi - Satirical/Dark comedies and again Drama.
Drama is such a broad genre lol

I notice in this q/a that you said shinae, maya, and min kyuk (?), forgot his spelling or his actual name, only knows one language. Then how can he survive in America? Shinae speaks only Korean right? Or do they all speak English?

Anon 28 Jan
Since kousuke and nol had a pretty bad past, considering that kousuke was a complete jerk to him. Are we ever going to get an answer as to why he did that to nol for all those years? The recent chapter made me a bit sad and I knew that we were going to get some sad nol flashbacks
quimchee
Yes. That was just a little peek of their past. There's more to it.
Anon 28 Jan
Were there fan behaviors you didn't like? If so, how do you think they should change that? Personally I don't like it when Q-tip/Nol (but mostly Qtip) fans become so obsessed they start dissing the characters.
quimchee
Yes, I'm actually disappointed in a lot of Qtip fans because of this.
I shipped Ian and disliked Shon from Sirens Lament but I never dissed him or attacked anyone that liked Shon.
All I can say is that we all just need to learn to respect each other but this is the internet. That's not gonna happen that quickly lol
Anon 28 Jan
A while back, you did Shieter drawings and posted sarcastic ILY/Star Wars tweets. Was it bc fans were annoying you in the comments section? Is it okay for us to gush over Kousuke or Nol and for us to support only one ship? We love your story. Sorry if we annoyed you.
quimchee
It's okay to gush over characters as much as you'd like. Ship anyone. But I do not condone toxic behavior (bashing, dissing, bullying, harassing, attacking others just because they have a different ship). We are all entitled to our own opinions. If you dont agree with someone, at least be mature and respectful about it.
Anon 28 Jan
I read that you went to nursing school. Do you work as a nurse and a professional webtoon artist at the same time? Or are you purely a webtoon artist?

How long will each season be? I recall reading there will be 150 episodes in total. How long of a break will there be between the seasons?
PS- Cute doggos! I’ve worked with quite a few shibas and I just love them 😍 And thank you for sharing such amazing work, you are truly an inspiration. 😊😊
quimchee
It's really hard to gauge because the length of a script for an episode can be misleading. But season 1 will be reaching the halfway point soon though.
Anon 28 Jan
In ILY, Siren's Lament and My Dear Cold-Blooded King all of the girls behave different in their love triangles. In the love triangles you have been, were you rather like Shin-Ae, Lyra or Mei?

It's a mix of all three 😅

Anon 27 Jan
Then why did u tell us about qtip preferences (character&book) if u r avoiding spoilers? Does this mean samfingggggg?

It seems that Nol and Shinae are the end game. T.T (the webtoon trailer for ily didn't even include Qtip...) Will Qtip get an amicable, loving wife in the future? (No Meg, she's...just no...) If Qtip end up with Meg or end up with no one, I'm going to cry. It'll be so sad for Qtip...

Webtoon trailer was based off the first 3 episodes and i had nothing to do with it so just chill. The marketing team didn't even know kousuke even existed.

I learned that you were in a love triangle between two best friends, so what happened at the end, did you ended up with them and was your boyfriend part of it

It's a request please don't think to include another one of those unnecessary cliche beach episodes as per few readers' requests.. Will ruin the perfectly laid out story it has been going on so far..

If there is going to be a beach episode, it will just be a kousukes corner or a non canon bonus short.
Anon 27 Jan
Hey quimchee, u know I'm quiet worried about Mrs. Hirahara personality, I mean.. is she really genuine with Shin Ae? Or does she have something on her sleeve, that she treated her like that. Will u reveal on us her true colors later? Thankyou!
quimchee
I leave it up to the readers how they want to interpret her character. This goes for everyone else too. Layers of their personality will be peeled back as the story goes.

You've said that I Love Yoo was inspired by Pride and Prejudice, does that mean that the story is a modern version of Pride and Prejudice or is it just inspired by the main topics with a different twist?

Definitely the latter. But you can tell some characters are based off a few from P&P

Do you ever laugh at how fast ppl want everyone to bang each other? Idk it’s unrealistic rn and i’m a fan of slow burn. I’m loving this stew

Not really laugh but more annoyed. Not their fault though since so many romances have characters fall in love so fast, (sometimes you don't even know why the characters like each other???) so people's expectations are unrealistic.

What age rating would you give I Love Yoo? Would you change it in the future?

To what degree you identify with your type? While the characters of I Love Yoo are unique individuals, how much (or little) did you rely on their mbti types to decide on their personalities?

Anon 22 Jan
Sooooo Kousuke is not that innocent regarding experiences with women. ;) (Read it here that he's not virgin. lol xD sorry for bringing up the virgin topic but it is related to my question.)
First there was the hand holding (that scene perhaps meant only comforting and no romantic feelings involved yet then), I guess he's not too shy make his next move soon. Maybe if he gives Shin-ae a birthday present and kisses her :D
Will Kousuke make his move sooner or Nol? I guess K. because he is more experienced than Nol. I realized while typing this it may be a bit too spoilerish info. I hope you read ir at least my silly bubblering. :D Now that Kousuke knows about her financial problems, that would be great if he hires her as his assistant. :D or reconsider giving her the job she applied to. He noted that she can be patient with people. 🤔😊

Because people thought I was joking about Yeong Gi being a virgin I'll answer this again. He may have a girlfriend but he's still a virgin guys.
Anon 14 Jan
Is qtip still a virgin?!
quimchee
Not keeping it a secret anymore. He's not.
Anon 14 Jan
The look Kousuke gave Shinae and Nol in the car, was it jealousy or was it something something else?
quimchee
These kinds of things I leave up to the reader to interpret until the truth is revealed in the story.
Anon 14 Jan
At the end of the series, will we have college student ShinAe or Adult carreer woman ShinAe? Also I gotta say I’ve read many weebtoon manhwas you name it, and I Love Yoo is seriously in my top 5 faves! It’s a refreshing take on modern awkward relationships xD Totally relatable.
quimchee
Adult Shin Ae for sure.
Anon 14 Jan
Does yeong gi drink 🍷
quimchee
Not a fan but he's a social drinker. He won't bother otherwise.
Anon 14 Jan
What episode will we see Min-Hyuk again??
quimchee
He'll be back after the Kims' formal
Anon 14 Jan
Will we be able to see how’s Yeong gi be friends with Soushi and Dieter?
quimchee

Anon 14 Jan
Is Kousuke really a derrière kind of guy😂 What kind of guy is Yeong Gi 😏
quimchee
I will neither confirm nor deny the butt thing but Yeong Gi likes a good smile. He's weird like that lol 😂😂😂
Anon 14 Jan
Will Mr.Yoo meet YeongGi or kousuke and will he like them
quimchee
He'll meet both of them in the future.
Anon 13 Jan
Does ShinAe have any more relatives or family that she knows?!
quimchee
To her knowledge, no.
Anon 13 Jan
Since Kousuke shows his love for Nol (based off of your ig ) when will he return his affections for his big bro ? 😂
quimchee
He already has through his fists.
Anon 13 Jan
Where did you get 'quimchee' from?
quimchee
A friend of mine gave me the nickname after I brought some kimchi for lunch in high school lol
Anon 13 Jan
If yeong gi ever has a child, will he make his child be part of the family business/heir or will he let his child do what they wish to do?
quimchee
He would try to get the kids involved and would be happy if they do take part in the business, but he wouldn't force them if they don't want to or if it takes away from their well-being. He'd let his kids pursue what they'd want but not without guidance first.
Anon 12 Jan
Will Mr. Hirahara like ShinAe?! Not romance but as a good girl for his sons you get me
quimchee
We'll see
Anon 12 Jan
does Kousuke have any moles?
quimchee
Nope. Laser mole removal lol
Anon 12 Jan
Was Alyssa already rich before the fame?!
quimchee
Yes. Not as rich as now but definitely rich.
Anon 12 Jan
If you have to choose, Team Ryu or Team Katsu? lol
quimchee
Ambassador
Anon 12 Jan
Does it matter that Kousuke's blush was drawn with dark lines instead of red? Or is it just your art style?
quimchee
If you look at the all people who blushed throughout the comic so far, you'll get your answer.
Anon 12 Jan
Is there a character you can’t for us to see?!
quimchee
Donut Man.
Anon 12 Jan
Quim! Do you read books? Do you have any favourites? Is writing (not including comic work) something you are interested in? Also, would you ever write a your own book/novel apart from comics? Thank you for yo hard work! ^_^
quimchee
I used to read but i dont really have anymore time nowadays 😅 I don't really have any favorite books.
I did have an interest in writing books and I even used to write short stories for school 😂. But I just love drawing more than I do writing.
I love telling stories through visuals even though it takes more work to draw a scene than to describe in writing.
Anon 12 Jan
Is their a Character that speaks more then one language?!
quimchee
Shin Ae, Maya, and Min-Hyuk are the only ones that speak one language.
Anon 12 Jan
Will you be posting a korean translation of this in Korean webtoon??... My friends always ask me to translate your webtoon in korean. ( They even call me at night just to translate it for them in the spot lolol )
( I dont know if I already posted this)
quimchee
I'd love to but sadly, I can't. It's all up to Webtoons whether they will allow translations 😅
Anon 12 Jan
Are the Hirahara the only rich family in the story?!
quimchee
It's not just the Hirahara's. There are also the Kim's. Rika's and Dieter's family, though not loaded, also have money.
Anon 12 Jan
You said that you hate cliche, but what about the red string of fate? Do you consider that this means soulmates(lovers) or just that people destined to meet? Do you like this whole concept?( sorry for my english, i hope you would understand what i am trying to ask xD) And also thanks for your hard work! You inspire me to draw and create my own story! Keep it up and again thank you for your amazing story and characters!
quimchee
Soul mates. But to me, your soulmate is not just limited to romantic partners (lovers). A soul mate can be your best friend. You can make deep connections with people while still keeping the relationship platonic.
Anon 8 Jan
are there characters you didn’t expect to become popular as they have?
quimchee
No. Everyone's popularity is just as I predicted.
Anon 8 Jan
When did ShinAe get her scars?! Will we find out soon or later?!

quimchee
I'm pretty sure this goes for every creator lol
Anon 8 Jan
Will we get a kiss scene of Shinae with either Q-tip or Nol before the end of the season? And will Shinae share a kiss with someone else other than them at any point of the story?

Emo
Anon 7 Jan

quimchee
Oh my goodness ( ͡°⁄ ⁄ ͜⁄ ⁄ʖ⁄ ⁄ ͡°)
Anon 7 Jan
When making the comic, do you ever change whats gonna happen or do you know exactly whats gonna happen and stick to it?
quimchee
I stick to my plans. Characters may do or say something that's not on the script but overall, the plot doesn't change.
Anon 7 Jan
Will those concepts you posted in your story on instagram only available for patrons?
quimchee
Yes, they will be for Patrons for now only, but Webtoons may use it as a future banner lol

Anon 2 Jan
well we all know that kousuke uses a makeup remover as a woman repellent but is there like an actual inspiration behind it? (e.g. u knew someone irl who also used that lol)
quimchee
No inspiration. That was just me thinking terrible ideas because I know how important make up can be to a lot of women 😅😅😅
Anon 2 Jan

Anon 2 Jan
Favorite Hamilton Song (Sorry, I'm sending it again because it didn't show up)
quimchee
I love the whole soundtrack but if I really had to choose, then Alexander Hamilton, Satisfied, and The Room Where It Happens.
Anon 2 Jan
When ever you have the time (probably not) and you look at comments or tweets etc and someone has a theory about something in the story do get suprised/worried or do be like "HAHAHA LMAO they'll never know"
quimchee
I am always laughing 😂😂😂 Not once have I been worried so far.
Anon 2 Jan
Will you pursue Nursing programs in the future? Are you focusing on drawing as your career? (Also, Happy New Year! Pls get more sleep in 2018)
quimchee
As of now, being a Nurse is my backup.
Anon 2 Jan
You mentioned that Kousuke has dating experiences. Was he in love before? or just forced dating by his mommy?

Anon 2 Jan
How does scripting/planning a webcomic look like? I often try to script/plan something before I draw or so (it’s nothing srs, just practice until I have the ability and courage to draw a srs webc) and I get really lost. Is there’s certain format or method you follow? Any tips? Thxxx also your comic is sooooooooo amazing 💓💓
quimchee
My process:
Outline -> Script -> Storyboard -> Sketch -> Lineart -> Color -> Typesetting
Sometimes I deviate a little from the outline and script because the characters start doing and saying their own thing 😂😂😂
Anon 2 Jan
I'm curious about how webtoons work. Like are all webtoons translated from Korean? Do all creators know how to speak Korean then? Like you for example, do you know how to speak Korean AND English?
quimchee
No, you dont have to know Korean to create Webtoons. There are English speakers that work at the Webtoon office.
Anon 2 Jan
I saw that you were thinking and developing characters since high school, if then, what were you originally thinking of doing with them?
quimchee
Nothing XD it was just a way for me to pass time. I also liked creating stories and OCs

Anon 2 Jan
How did Kousuke discover the only thing to get rid of women is makeup remover xD?
quimchee
He has prior experience with women
Anon 1 Jan
What does it mean by "i started on discover"? Is it a different website, a part of webtoon?
quimchee
Discover is a part of Webtoons. Think of it like YouTube. Anyone can post videos for free but not everyone gets money from their videos unless someone notices your content and offers you pay.
Anon 1 Jan
Was kousuke always like the way he is, or was he once bubbly like yeong gi?
quimchee
He was never bubbly but he has become more stern over the years.

Anon 1 Jan
From most to least who eats the most?
quimchee
Just the guys: Yeong Gi, Min Hyuk, Dieter, Soushi, Kousuke (YG does a lot of physical activity so he needs to eat a lot)
Shin Ae, Maya, and Rika eat around the same amount on average, although Rika and Maya are on diets.

As much as anyone does. Kousuke was just being an ass there.
Anon 1 Jan
Can you make a pun in one of the future webtoon story? :) btw happy New Years!
