HOW has this piece not gotten a review? Well not to worry, I'm here to fix that with my fantastic biased opinion!
This is a shorter story, so no need for a large review.
Story & Characters: 8 || So Farming for Love is a great BL story, but it's selling factor is actually the comedy and the narrator's third-party story input. I had to stop and giggle often, here. Half the time I felt like there was Ben Stein telling us the low-down on these characters while they were actively messing up their lives. Just thinking about it again had me cracking a smile...
Set in
...
the countryside of South Korea, we have a main character who's opened up a pharmacy to get away from his overworked life in Seoul's big hospital. During his time we learn why he became so stressed, the people he'll meet in this little village, and how he figures out where he'll go from here.
For the characters I do love how we can see them slowly develop, though it's definitely a short manhwa. Not a lot of growth, but it's there.
A bonus, as well, is there are some side stories written later on to expand on the main characters and their relationship, plush a side couple that develops in the story. I give bonus points when stories follow multiple couples/pairings.
Art & Presentation: 7 || This has a generic manhwa feel, so nothing too standout. It's in full black & white, so a lot of us are used to that already. Background visuals are fleshed out and environments look complete. It doesn't have a half-finished feel. For presentation there's nothing that stands out but I do appreciate the full use of horizontal space. Some manhwas are too centered so this one at least creates movement while reading.
Overall: 8 || Wholesome (mostly) and funny read. Endearing. Great time. Just worth it if you're into all these qualities.
Happy reading! <3
