tas's manga / #Strong Female Lead(8)

10/10 enemies to lovers story loved how it wasn't just abt the romance btwn yejun and subin but also abt their families and learning to reconcile w family-related trauma I loved the grandma :(( and LOVED how the romantic tension was preserved even after they got together, which a lot of enemies-to-lovers fail to do I was rooting for them the entire time. also subin is such a refreshing and fun FL, I loved how she was the glue that eventually repaired the family bonds within yejun's family <3

VERY fun read. school mystery, uncovering smaller mysteries that eventually lead up to the big one (was not expecting the true answer). so many plot twists and red herrings. love lighthearted mysteries like this one. also each chapter name being a vegetable pun was great!

oh em gee…. the biggest fattest grin on my face rn after finishing this series i usually don’t like pregnancy tropes but this series DID IT SO WELL and heewon and doojoon had sooooo much chemistry and the way they fell for each other was just too too good and the way their relationship was always so healthy even when they had troubles and how miscommunication was never overly used but that al the couples in this story actually COMMJNICATED w each other oh it’s just too good and little byeo-ri and joon-seo the cutest ever my only complaint is that i wish we saw their story (same for secretary lee and ms. kim it would’ve been so fun to see their love story). and the last arc w taewoo and se-hyun was a miscommunication one but it was done beautifully and ugh i just love them all sm so much squealing was done throughout this entire journey. and heewon and her relationship w her mom was also done so well like [SPOILERS] obv they won’t be best friends suddenly bc you can’t just erase the emotional neglect she put heewon thru but the fact that they’re both trying to be there for each other still gave them a wholesome ending. 10/10

9/10 SM fun i loved ripley to death and zeronis was great too and it was just such a fun ride. super funny, beautiful art, and great character development too! i was initially a bit apprehensive abt zeronis bc he was way too pushy towards ripley and i hated that sm but the fact that he acknowledged that at the end w his proposal was sooo satisfying sylvia is my fav character obv.

8/10 funny romance webtoon abt a woman ceo of a fitness-wear company. loved gaeun as a character and i loved the dynamic btwn her and chan. it started off so unserious but the gradual development into a more serious plot was done so well. SPOILERS the whole poor ppl are greedy and leech off their rich friends idea rubbed me the wrong way tbh. also i wish chan got to pursue his ballerino dreams. BUT finally getting juhyeok on his knees apologizing to gaeun was sooo satisfying, amazing revenge plot

8.5/10 super solid action-packed vampire series that has great worldbuilding and interesting characters! i also liked that the romance was a subplot but it still tied together pretty nicely

9.9/10 Amazing, well-fleshed-out characters, their interactions felt so real and human and not tropey at all. The characters are definitely the reason I enjoyed this webtoon so much, but the plot was also so well-paced and everything about the slowburn romance and the platonic and familial relationships were also done so gracefully (again, thanks to the amazing characters set in place). Would highly highly recommend

4/3/24 - 4/23/24 10/10 literally had me so hooked from beginning to end bc of how interesting the characters were. their love for each other is soooso deep. and the art was STUNNING. i was in awe at how the artist portrayed intimacy in their little, seemingly subconscious, and easy touches
