Holy Chef, Crazy Empress

Ongoing | Young Dream | 2000 released

I used to love this. Gosh! This brings back old memories with my sister having just downloaded the Webtoon app and us watching it together waiting for the weekly updates..her downloading the chapters in advance so that we could watch it even if there were no internet. When we got into a fight, she refused to let me watch it and I was so angry. We used to think the world of this, having just started this medium of story. We thought the MC was badass as hell. We would pick between her past self with the white hair and that more European look to her current self with the more Asian aesthetic and we would not be able to choose after grappling with it and came to the conclusion that there was an appeal to both selves. Ahhh those were the days. It makes me feel a little sentimental thinking back on it.

Housekeeper in a Dungeon

Ongoing | Deulkkae, Hwang Geum Song | 2022 released

I fucking love this. This is great. I love the MC, I love the brother and I love the ML. This is so wholesome. I like that she makes do with what she has and is so normal, no trying to be cool or too curt. She's a normal average citizen of a society. No quirkiness or anything. I like the puppy ML, how he becomes talkative when he's drunk etc. I like his brother too, the complete opposite of him.. Organised, responsible, very put together.. I like how everyone adores the MC. Also the way this author writes the female characters..Chef's kiss mwah.. The CEO is a woman.. The team leader is a woman(I thought she was a man at first)..and no underlying message that just because a woman has a job, she's a bad person/sister/wife and has bad personality etc.. Nice female representation..
