Tai's manga / #Strong Female Lead(20)

the first and only chinese webtoon im reading. im kind of so so on workplace romances usually but i like this one alot. the humor is hit or miss but its not cringey. the real prize is the FL who is truly an inspiration to us all. the kind of coolheaded and competant lady we just dont get enough of. no cutesy bumbling here folks! the ML is also unconventional in some ways. he's eccentric and quiet but not icy or rude. and he def despite being her age feels younger in some ways. he's pretty but not like Cute but he's also not macho at all. i dont think thats coincidence. this is another webtoon that in a subtle thoughtful way plays a bit with gender role expectations in a love story. albeit as of 22 chpts i dont get any like...romantic or sexual chemistry off these two at all. but at the same time i DO find their dynamic interesting and it is clear why they could in the future be a good partnership and fall for each other but this isnt some swoony steamy romance by a long shot. anyway i def recommend this. esp cause it seems like we may also be getting a SUPER SHARPLY DRESSED lesbian coworker as the FL's close friend. (unlike her non coworker bff who is a spoiled annoying rich girl there for comic relief except nothing she does is funny to me but anyways~). there's also another guy with a playful attitude and a ponytail and im alrdy feelin some kinda way about him.

unfortunately seems it got dropped.

a hidden gem i found on pocket comics earlier this week that im very intrigued by but not sure if ill be able to stick with depending on what its ultimately going to lead to. (i want some dark romance with my mystery thrillers but i aint holding my breath for it here)
