Age Matters
8/10 I first read this when I was younger and then dropped it and came back to it recently and it wasn't as amazing as I remember, which was slightly disappointing, but it was still a fun romcom with some slightly dated humor in the earlier episodes (that I'm a potato humor ahhhhh). SPOILERS Even though it was kind of a slow burn, when Daniel realized his feelings idky but I felt like he did a complete 180 with his feelings towards Rose, so I remember wishing the emotional transition was cleaner, but I just went with the flow and it was fine after. Tons of drama especially with Jackson and that weird crazy assassin guy but it was enjoyable Wish we saw more of Pomeroy and Ruby!! They were my favorite side couple and same with Dylan and the blue-haired girl! I loved Dylan so much and I felt so bad for him the entire time so I wish we saw him moving on from Rose but oh well im glad hes happy now. Cute story, esp if youre looking for age gap with younger guy and older woman, but I read it mostly for the nostalgia factor than anything
The Sensual M
9.7/10 SUCH a funny and realistic portrayal of BDSM without being sexual almost at all??? and is actually super wholesome. i love jiu and jihu sm. all the characters were so loveable and the story was just never boring to me i enjoyed every single chapter. MUST READ. i remmeber wanting just a little more from the ending like esp with the bartender and the girl but i still loved this story nonetheless
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
Rest in Peace
9/10 LOVE the art and the characters and I was never ever bored with the story. I really enjoyed the ending, too. I think Jeongto's character arc was left a little unfinished, though. But the very beginning with the pivotal funeral scene that sets up the entire scene was so well done like I was not expecting all the emotions in first 12 chapters. Very good character writing and worldbuilding (the other Gods of hell >>) Yeomra <3
The Hip Guy
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
Tenants from Another World
4/10 Started off pretty interesting with Haeseo's office work life and then fun times with the princes of another world who become her tenants. Kinda lost its steam in the middle and end tbh. Also lots of plot holes and rushed ending (I totallty forgot abt the shoe design thing at work until the end and that wasn't even fulfilled). Forced myself to finish.
See You In My 19th Life
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
My Reason to Die
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
