Want some Manhwa recommendations? You've come to the right place.
Tomorrow When you hear the words 'Grim Reaper', what comes to your mind? That they take souls to underworld, right? Let me introduce you to the Crisis Management Team from Underworld, a team of Grim Reapers whose job is to prevent suicides. In a turn of events, Choi Junwung, a mortal human, an unemployed youth in his twenties, temporarily becomes a part of this unusual team. This manhwa is an underrated diamond that most people don’t know about. It deals with dark topics such as suicide, sexual assault and intense grief, but it'll leave you with hope everytime you end an arc. It also provides you with comedic relief, just the right amount to balance the heaviness. It tells us the story of ordinary humans who are driven to the edge. It shows that a lot of times, all those broken humans need is someone to reach out to them.
Mystical Garam Lee is an artist who is famous for his drawings of an mysterious woman who possesses otherworldly beauty. Who is this woman, you ask? Then, let's take a trip down Garam's past, back when he was still not an artist, back when he expressed his plan to move out to his foster father, in response of which the man sent him to his mother's home for a while, with the hope that it'd help Garam... And the events that unfolded there changed Garam's life. The artstyle is unique, detailed and beautiful. The story is no less beautiful. I love the way the characters are fleshed out. As I followed them in their daily lives, I got immersed in the story and the characters grew on me. The story may seem simple, but it actually dives deep into topics of grief, abandonment, family...and love. It also doesn’t have any unnecessary drama or a real love triangle. It's a sweet and lovely story that makes you giggle sometimes and cry some other times. It's that kind of magical story that just draws you in.
Taste of Illness Have you ever wondered what exactly goes through the mind of someone who suffers from mental illness? Ha Ilkwon took a different approach to show us that, by visualizing the inner demons that only the bearer can see. But Yijun Byeon doesn’t only see demons and monsters - he also sees little, weak ones who relies on him to be protected. When the teacher gives them a project which requires pairing up with a friend, Yijun has no choice but to pair up with another loner like him - Suni, who has her own secret.
A Heartfelt Andante Na Yoonhee is one of those few webtoon creators whose works have considerable depth. A Heartfelt Andante is no different in that aspect. The story revolves around three people - Yuwon, who died, Daul, who has survived, and Yeonjo, who was left behind. Their lives are entangled by unusual circumstances. The story jumps between past and present, similar to Seasons of Blossom season two. Even the relationship of the three is somewhat similar to Seasons of Blossom, even though in this story the dynamic is much more complex.

But there is a third person in this story - her blind date who was in the same accident as her. If you are going to pass by thinking this is one of those cliche romances, trust me, you're in for a surprise. This is a story about first loves, friendships and growing up. A rare gem in the world of manhwa.
Marry Me! Amidst the growing culture of marriage after falling in love and dating, the protagonists of this webtoon are thrown into a work-related forced arranged marriage thanks to the 'NEET Protection Law'. The couple in this webtoon are different than traditional romcoms in so many aspects. After marriage, we see the couple slowly developing feelings for each other and acknowledging those feelings. Their devotion for each other is truly special, taken into consideration how their marriage started. The female protagonist is a stay-at-home wife, unlike most of the female protagonists from rom-com manhwas. There are also supporting characters (families) that features stay-at-home husband and working wife, a single dad raising a daughter, a divorced couple. All of them have different dynamics and it was refreshing to see. The family drama is also not your conventional family drama and it hits so close to home. There's no villain in this story. Everyone's flawed human. That's what makes this story wholesome and realistic. Another aspect of this story that I like is how the community around them is like one extended family. Though they evade each other's boundaries sometimes, I cannot dislike this setting overall. I love their bond. Mari, the female protagonist, is such a ray of sunshine who positively influences everyone she encounters. She's so precious.
