This manhwa shines with its refreshing embrace of sexual positivity, urging readers to explore new boundaries with an open mind. While it may not ground-breaking, it dismantles societal taboos, offering a different perspective on situations often frowned upon across cultures. At the end of the day, it is a very typical manhwa besides the plot.
Plot:
A short and sweet manhwa where a funny misunderstanding is the whole plot. The misunderstanding is about the main character being in love with a girl, who he thinks is a hard-core fem dominatrix on the contrary she believes he is a very submissive male. This plot is humorous, showing how
...
one simple conversation can cause such a mess. It has a great sub-plot romance with the side characters as well.
Characters:
Chanhee - An average male lead, characterized by his propensity for assumptions and unwavering loyalty. He's just your standard guy, head over heels in love, making him someone we can all relate to as we follow along with the story.
Eunjo - She is a typical female lead, blessed with beauty that draws attention to her wherever she goes. Yet, beneath her facade lies a character of substance, unafraid to seize control of her destiny. Her proactive nature endears her to audiences, adding a layer of authenticity to her portrayal.
Art:
Again very average art with not much to note. It feels like the typical standard manwha art that you see in most online comics/manhwa. It's not ugly but not unique. Nothing of note about the art.
To sum it up, this manhwa has a good take on sex and relationships. The characters are relatable, the plot's funny, and while the art's not groundbreaking, it gets the job done. The only commendable part of this is the plot and having a strongish female lead; a solid 6 out of 10.

This manga is a good pick when you've got some time to kill, but it doesn't have that wow factor in its storyline. Still, it does a decent job of keeping readers interested.
Plot:
The concept behind the story is unique, no denying that. It revolves around a woman dealing with an unconventional romance with her intended target. While the premise is very interesting, the execution falls short of expectations. Despite being portrayed as a skilled assassin, the protagonist's repeated failures to fulfill her mission before succumbing to love detract from the authenticity of her character.
Characters:
Kodai - The male lead has a mix of traits that make
...
him interesting. He's kinda yandere, but it makes him more complex as a character, which is nice.
Yukino - The female lead falls into the realm of being mildly generic, failing to embody the duties expected of an assassin. Despite her striking beauty, she lacks assertiveness in intimate moments making it feel a little bit uncomfortable for me.
Art:
The manga's artistic prowess shines through, particularly in the vibrant coloring of its covers and the fluidity of its character designs. The depiction of flowing hair makes for a romantic aesthetic to the visuals. Overall, the artwork stands as a testament to the talent of the artist, a common trait among manga of its caliber.
This manga is a decent option for a quick distraction. It might not nail every aspect of its plot or characters, but it's still engaging and entertaining. With its cool artwork and moments of intrigue, it's a good choice when you want something easy to read. So, if you need a break, give it a try.

The manga featured erotica and an amazing plot idea. It had pretty art, but nothing noteworthy overall. Though it is just my opinion, I believe it would be much better if it were longer. It featured a strong female lead who wasn't particularly a femdom—rather, she was just a bold woman. In my plot analysis, there is a very tiny spoiler, but nothing significant that would ruin your experience.
Plot: This is a story about an undercover police officer who works in a male-only service facility and develops feelings for one of the few female clients. This storyline intrigues me because it raises some questions about
...
when she will find out about him being a cop. There wasn't anything particularly noteworthy because this was only one manga. A lengthier manga would have been preferable to develop the plot more. It was good for what it was since it was merely intended to be erotica.
Characters: Not much made Nagisa stand out among the others, but she did appear to be a powerful female protagonist. They both seem like ordinary manga characters overall, but I don't think it could be done in just eight chapters. They fall for each other at the same time, which is wholesome.
Art: I always end up being fond of manga art, and this is no different! Every male character in the manga has a distinctive body type, ranging from slender to plump. I loved how each character had a unique appearance without becoming too cluttered. It was quite captivating, but nothing truly stood out. Still very visually appealing.
In conclusion, the manga offers a brief, yet captivating erotic tale accompanied by visually pleasing artwork. While the narrative is engaging, the overall impression is not particularly noteworthy as I had said before. I think that I would recommend this as it is; nothing special but nothing terrible just a mind-blank kind of read.

An extremely intriguing fantasy historical romantic subplot Webtoon with a disappointing ending and certain unsettling events left unexplained (episode 59 was glossed over). I would recommend it primarily for its beautiful artwork rather than a satisfying conclusion to the story. Unfortunately, "Twilight Poem" was canceled due to allegations of worker abuse, resulting in rushed final chapters.
Plot:
The story begins with Princess Soru, a young girl despised by many because of her birth from a scandalous affair between the prince and the king's concubine. Soru unwittingly possesses immense power, attracting the attention of demons who seek to conquer her while humans want to hurt her as
...
they see her as evil. I think this is a good plot but as I said before the ending was rushed.
Characters:
Princess Soru - She made sense in the way she acted as she is a celestial bene from the heavens, so Soru wasn't just "overly nice" rather it was an urge she was born with. I liked that the author kept her character always kind in every aspect and Soru tried to help even those who hurt her. Very well-written not a typical female lead in the sense that she did have an ulterior motive (love, money, power, etc...).
Ja Hyun - Unlike his portrayal in the light novel, Ja Hyun lacks depth and fails to evoke much likability. His character arc feels underdeveloped and uninspired, rendering him a rather bland presence in the story.
Yato - Remarkably well-written with layers of depth to his motives, Yato stands out as one of the most compelling characters in the Webtoon. His complexity and meaningful motivations set him apart from the usual fare found in similar works.
Art:
The artwork in "Twilight Poem" is among the finest I've encountered in Webtoons. Each panel is imbued with emotion, and the coloring is breathtakingly beautiful. The consistency and quality of the art throughout the series are exemplary, deserving of a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
Overall, while "Twilight Poem" showcases exceptional artwork and some intriguing character dynamics, its rushed conclusion and unresolved plot points make it hard to recommend. Only for an art connoisseur, would this be a good look.

To start this webtoon is not a romcom but more of a thriller webtoon with romance and comedy. It was still a good thriller, but I wish the webtoon artists didn't feel the pressure to put it as romance to get more reads. The humor was really funny, and the characters were all very well-written. A minor spoiler in the plot but not that big of one.
Plot:
A high schooler named Juwon Gu is caught in a bank robbery with a woman named Noa. Little did Juwon know, that Noa is a killer who comes from a troubled family and seeks love to fulfill her 'Mother's'
...
last wish. Noa leaves her father, Seongmyeong, who turns out to be the main antagonist. Later, Juwon becomes entangled in Noa's life, facing the dilemma of either saving his family by taking someone's life (and bearing that burden) or allowing them to perish, a revelation withheld until the final ~10 episodes.
Characters:
Juwon Gu (Main male lead) - He is a vulnerable and caring individual, often prioritizing others' well-being over his own.
Noa (Main female lead) - She is loyal, outgoing, and selfless, particularly in her efforts to support her family while striving for personal growth.
Seongmyeong (Main antagonist) - He is portrayed not as an anti-hero but rather as someone who tries his best but ultimately fails, resorting to harmful actions in search of happiness, making him a well-written character.
Art:
The artwork is stunning, particularly the cover art. While there were some minor inconsistencies in character heights, the overall art style is typical and not unique, but the beauty and vibrant coloring make up for that. It is still very visually appealing.
Definitely a good read for a light-hearted thriller but it usually isn't something people typically look for. Unfortunately, this is a fast-pass series so no binge-reading, and the last three episodes are paid-locked. Good characters, and good art, so nothing extraordinary and the plot gets confusing occasionally, but the last episodes are adorable, and I like the way it wrapped up.

(Read the manhwa's description before reading my review.) My first complaints about this webtoon are that it moves too quickly, the protagonist is pitiful and unlikable, and the plot attempts to make the antihero (Bora) sympathetic. As for what I enjoyed, it was the uniqueness of Jina and the stunning artwork. This is something you should binge rather than taking your time on.
Pacing left the chat when this was being created! All key plot points in a romance were shoved in for the last ten episodes, while the first 40 was just the main character trying (but failing miserably) to get over his ex-girlfriend.
My thoughts on
...
the protagonist Min are that he reminded me of the classic pitiful character. Now this trope isn't always bad when done correctly (Naruto, Howl, and Edward) but in this case it made Min feel annoying. Yes, I understand heart breaks hurt, but man, all Min did was think about how Bora hurt him, and he wasn't willing to change until the end. Bro was so obsessed he wrote a whole entire manga about her!
Bora was a great antihero but dang she got ruined when they gave her a back story in a whole 2 chapters, and you still can't understand why she acted as she did. Without spoiling too much Bora leads on Min for most of the webtoon then her backstory says she was treated differently for being hot. How does being over sexualized give you an excuse for being a total jerk?!
Now for the positive remarks... THE ART!!!! The colors fit each scene so well along with the lighting. Whether it was dramatic, sad, happy, or angry the colors and lighting added a lot to the emotion. People tend to struggle so much with this, but the author must've mastered it! Absolutely beautiful plus the author's style was unique!
Now best girl Jina was awesome. She had a total killer family, her backstory was inspiring, and she felt well written. Jina wasn't a stereo typical female lead or over powerful female lead; she had emotion and was certainly well thought out. She decided to work through things on her own but didn't feel ashamed to ask for help in later chapters. Probably one of the best female leads I've seen in a not-so well-known webtoon.
In the end this webtoon had a lot of high praise in the comments but if you really take a step back and look at the whole webtoon you'll see it is ever so slightly above average. I can see the appeal but there is many better webtoons, manhwas, and Mangas out there if you're looking for a romance. If a quick read is all you're looking for then be my guest and read Fool Me Twice. Remember to form opinions for yourself; don't let a random review hold you back. :D

(Read the manhwa's description before reading my review.) Out of all the horror webtoons I've read, this one has the best pacing by far. While the second season felt a little bit drawn out, it was practically impossible to get bored throughout the first and third seasons. The idea and narrative were excellent, and each plot twist was entirely based on original ideas. A MORE RECENT WEBTOON INVOLVING AN ORIGINAL PLOT? Yes, it is really difficult since most new webcomics are romances or isekai, and this one defied current trends. I would highly suggest reading it slowly as opposed to all at once. The art
...
was very standard; nothing to write home about.
First season: Main protagonists Junam, a super soldier (pratically), and his niece Janglee are set on Nakwon Island. The development of Harmonia, a substance that prevents aging, came at a terrible, terrible, terrible cost—if you missed even one dosage, you would die.
Things I liked: The characters had depth, the author seemed to have done a lot of research to make it feel more authentic, did a great job of holding your attention.
Things I didn't like: main character body armor, and the author made the religious preacher seem nuts (sort of tired of this "plot twist").
Second Season: Determinated to restock on Harmonia, they returned to Korea. Another new main character for this season is Seunghyeon, a Nakwon native. Added the main antagonist of the season, the owner of Almighty Labs, the facility where Harmonia was created and produced.
Things I liked: Gave Janglee and Junam backstory, raised questions about Junam's past, and generally built up for a big climax of season three.
Things I didn't like: Some scenes were pointless (the whole orphanage thing), and Janglee had distinct DNA but did not fully clarify it/explain everything clearly.
Third Season: In my humble opinion, this was the best season overall. The main plot point of this season was Janglee's attempt to stop the creation of spring of life, a medication that reverses the effects of aging. It had an intriguing spy aspect that added to its appeal. This season really delved into everything, leaving no significant story gaps. It carefully finished the story with a hint as to what may be in store for Junam in the future.
Things I liked: Almost everything!!!
Things I didn't like: Some characters' deaths seemed pointless, and it was used just to kill someone off.
Overall, the plot was unique, interesting, and had broken the boundaries of modern webtoons. It had cliche villains, who felt needlessly evil. As my review says only the second season was boring but the third season can absolutely knock your boots off. The main characters felt like actual people and not just someone thrown together. I highly recommend this story as a modern thriller story.

I'll start by saying that this is a really good newer thriller series, in contrast to most new thrillers on webtoon that always feel the same. The speed is the only thing I have a problem with, other than that, the ending was very bittersweet. Though I really liked the conclusion, there was still room for much more development in this webcomic. It's not bad; it's just a little dull at times. However, the conclusion was just stunning.
Characters - Seonghye, the main character, first expressed a great deal of worry and concern over being placed in the welfare center, but as time went on,
...
she revealed herself to be the stereotypically intelligent, big-brain main character. I prefer the main characters to be likable and easy to put yourself in their shoes, but it can be difficult when they can come up with brilliant strategies under stress. I'm kind of tired of seeing the same character be overpowered and extremely intelligent. In addition to not being all that special, her friend—who was later disclosed—was highly dynamic, had a lot of interesting character qualities, and had a well-defined backstory.
Plot - Compared to all the recent webtoons that have been released, it felt distinct and unusual. It just didn't feel well planned out; the speed would change from being really fast paced to having nothing significant in the following chapter. Having a designated end for each episode rather than following the narrative would be one approach to fix this. If it had been better organized, every chapter would have been roughly the same length because some were rather short, and some were very long. Another issue was that the mysteries were all solved in the last 20 chapters rather than being gradually revealed, leaving the reader with the impression that they had been in the dark for far too long.
Art - I was enthralled with the artwork. Unlike other webcomics and animes, which depict blood as pink, blue, or bright red this one depicted blood accurately. All of the characters had an unsettling, spooky aura, and when they depicted kids, they didn't appear to be miniature versions of grownups.
All things considered, this is a good webtoon and a good thriller series to binge read. The only drawback is that there are too many long stretches of darkness for a reader, which can get boring. Still highly recommended if you want to read a medium length thriller. Some people may enjoy overpowered characters, which is totally fine so read it if you want to.

Let me state right away that the romance in this webcomic is more of a subplot than a main narrative. Because they are from different worlds, the main characters Eun-i and Sae-i trade places at the beginning of the webtoon. They were supposed to return in a week, but that never happened, because Sae-i is kind of an awful person. If you're not into open-ended stories, this one's probably not for you.
This entire plot, in my opinion, was really effectively done. This plot has been presented previously, but never to such a high standard. The only issue is that it felt rushed, and the conclusion
...
was foolish because it was far too short. They really effectively addressed the primary issue (NO SPOILING) with their approach, in my opinion. 7/10
The character designs were very impressive. I cherished Sae-i and Eun-i's tiny distinctions as much as their similarities. Although I did notice same face syndrome, it was simple to distinguish between them thanks to their hair. The use of color in this was excellent, especially during the emotional sequences that made everything appear much deeper. 8/10
To be quite honest, I would rate this webtoon a 7.5 out of 10, but I think it demands a closer evaluation of an eight. Instead of leaving it as an open-ending, I would have attempted to extend it in order to provide a more dramatic conclusion (I don't like open endings). I believe the romance title was incorrect; a mystery would have been a more appropriate description. It was still an amazing webtoon with it leaving me on the edge of my seat for the entire read.

With every Isekai I have read this was very basic when the plot was so interesting. The author had a great idea that was mildly unique to the Isekai genre then executed it in the poorest way possible. I will be sharing my points of why I thought it was barely above average aka it was fine.
Plot Rundown: Three people who had died in Korea had been reincarnated into the main characters of a book they were reading. The goal is to find a way to come home but here is the interesting thing the creator of the novel is actually in the novel. Out
...
of all isekai manga/manhwa/manhua I've ever read this was a first to have the creator itself inserted into the story. 8/10
The Art: It looked very average besides the eyes on Lily when she uses her empathy powers and Brad's outfits throughout the series were very compelling (iykyk). It wasn't enough to end up changing my mind on the overall rating, so I'd give the art a comfortable 5/10.
Things I liked: It actually had a good sense of humor except when they beat the hell out of the fried chicken joke. I also enjoyed the humor with Brad but the only thing that was above average in this was the humor.
Things I disliked: Too many plot holes!!! The ending, not properly finishing up the story had dropped it by 2 points. The plot holes were that Lily wanted to leave the world and go back home due to her period cramps, which never got addressed and what would happen when they were to get home (back to Korea) because they were dead. Would they magically be revived, or would they be unable to leave? The ending didn't address either of these since all characters ended up staying.
Overall: I thought it was barely above average and that it really isn't worth the read considering the ending wasn't satisfying along with the story being 62 chapters long. Do as you may and form your own opinion because that is the beauty of having a brain. It was positively a 6/10.
