My Office Noona's Story
8.9/10 very realistic office romance from the guy's pov i honestly REALLY enjoyed this webtoon the entire way through like the writing was phenomenal--the dialogue and manager son's thoughts were so realistic--and the art was also gorgeous. i loved seeing manager ahn through son's perspective and i thought this was a unique take on the office romance genre. [SPOILERS] as with realistic romances with grim foreshadowing, they obv didn't end up together bc wrong timing which was p sad but i would've enjoyed it more if ahn wasn't such a red flag. like she took advantage of son's kindness so many times bc she knew he loved her and literally dropped EVERYTHING he was doing if she texted him for help and it felt kinda pathetic at some point like he knows he's not gonna get anything out of it but he still leaves important things just for her and she has never done the same for him! like i sympathize with her struggles as a single mom but it was just too much. and i rmbr a comment saying that everything, their entire relationship, continued on her terms only, not his, and that is so true. like she controlled everything, she didn't communicate well when she first broke up w him and was never open abt her intentions but strung him along a lot and she was a frustrating character. i still rly enjoyed reading this but i do think it was for the best that they didn't end up together bc she was not the right person for him. but i also feel so bad for son's wife bc he was/is so in love w ahn that he prob won't ever get over her completely in order to fully love his wife (who was also struggling w grief and illness and son got tired of helping his own wife but never ahn who randomly texted him after 2 years of ghosting him to meet up??). the fact that this is the author's true story makes me feel so bad for his actual wife who prob read this like how do you explain that you're never getting over your ex to your wife man. still recommend but awfully realistic
