Couple Appreciation: Caelus and Hestia
Manhwa title: For My Derelict Favourite
Novel Author: Kim Seonyu and Ryuho
Manhwa Illustrator: Kimyong
Synopsis: What happens after the story ends with a “happily ever after”? When Hestia enters her favorite novel as a side character, she happily fangirls from the sidelines. Thinking she’ll return home when the story reaches its end, Hestia finds that the only thing awaiting her is the tragic death of her favorite character. Now miraculously restored to the day of the ending, Hestia decides that she’ll no longer spectate from the sidelines – instead, she’ll save her derelict favorite!
My Thoughts:
I absolutely love these two.
Hestia embodies every fangirl when faced with their ultimate favourite character. She is a walking, blushing disaster when she and Cael are together, and I absolutely love it. She is so adorably chaotic, and while she can come across as strange, her transparent nature slowly begins to thaw Cael's frozen heart. In addition, leaving aside her interactions with Cael, I absolutely love her "I don't give a damn" attitude regarding Helios and Diana, who are the direct targets of her revenge.
Cael, having been abandoned by the people he trusted the most had lost the will to live. As a result, he sank into a deep depression and locked himself away from the world. All of this began to change when Hestia burst (quite literally) into his life. While he was initially aloof and distant, Hestia's compassion and unconditional affection for him slowly began to move him. Watching her do her best for his sake without asking or expecting anything from him in return allowed the wounds in his heart to heal slowly.
One thing I liked about Cael is that leaving aside their first meeting, even when he kept Hestia at a distance, he still respected her as his spouse. Unlike many male leads that will treat the women around them terribly until they fall for them, Cael still remembers to thank Hestia and apologise for his behaviour.
