탑알바입니다 (I’m A Top Part-timer)
I just caught up on reading this webtoon and now I don’t know what to do!
So, I wanted to try reading something in Korean and when I saw this I think 17 episodes or so had been uploaded. It wasn’t the first time I’ve tried reading a webtoon in its original language, but it is the first time I have successfully read up until the most recent update. And, with some heavy lifting from Naver Dictionary when I forgot the same words over and over, I must say it has been a really enjoyable read so far.

Debut or Die!|Webtoon and Webnovel
When it comes to this blog I’m almost 4 months behind with my updates (on account of the fact I’ve been journalling media since the beginning of the year and only started this blog in April time). However, this month Debut or Die! has consumed my life to the extent that I absolutely must talk about it right now or else I’ll… Die!

Lovers, Cats, and the Killer
Once again, I gave Lovers, Cats, and the Killer a chance because I had some free coins. It’s funny, in a way, having such great expectations about the cats in the story seeing as they’re highlighted in the English title. I’m sure if I was led to this work by the Korean title “Re:meet” I would probably have been annoyed at all the focus on the cats whilst expecting something else. The fact of the matter is, both “Lovers, Cats, and the Killer” and “Re:meet” offer equally important perspectives of the same work.

On the Contrary
At 3 chapters for the main story and 2 side chapters this was incredibly short and sweet. Within the 3 main episodes the artist brought out the gorgeous high school romance so well.

Sasaeng: Obsessive and Tenacious
I caught this webtoon at a lucky time. Ordinarily I like to read webtoons with a romantic element to them but I gave Sasaeng: Obsessive and Tenacious (SOAT) a go simply because it was free in April. It is currently on Tapas as WUF which, is great, but I don’t think I would have been patient enough to survive reading this one chapter per day.

The Path of a Star
The art is very pretty and… cloudy(?) in this work. Both this and the distance that the narrative places between itself and the characters has really helped build the anticipation in The Path of a Star for me.

A Shoulder to Cry On
Considering this webtoon started with archery scholarship student Dayeol getting in trouble for forcibly kissing his classmate Taehyun despite doing no such thing, this work explored many facets of youth.

Payback episode 87
“You kept calling us. Mom and me… It’s time to stop.”
Episode 87 of Payback gave me a lot to think about as we slipped away from the danger and action we’d been leading up to. After being stabbed and beaten black and blue, Yoohan finds himself in a memory which feels like a dream.
