Jang Yunseong (top) loves Lee Hakyung (bottom) unconditionally, before and after amnesia. Understanding Hakyung’s pain, he never demands equal love but patiently draws closer step by step. This devoted and protective top is truly rare.

📘 Odd Love (외사랑) | Handsome Director Top × Proud Chaebol Bottom
📖 Genre: Urban Romance
📌 Keywords: Love at First Sight, Mutual Crush, Entertainment Industry, Chaebol Bottom
⭐ Rating: ★★★★★
This novel-based webtoon has been completed (45 main chapters + 19 side stories). The art style is refined, and the character dynamics are skillfully portrayed. In particular, Jeong Jaehan (the bottom), as a chaebol heir and power figure, exudes both elegance and dominance—his commanding presence is strikingly drawn. While he’s willing to submit emotionally to Yoon Hee-kyum (the top), his aura could easily be reversed; he absolutely has top energy too.
The two fall for each other at first sight, but their emotional distance and self-imposed barriers lead to a series of misunderstandings and tension. One is awkward and clumsy, the other too afraid to hope. It’s not until the very end of the main story that they finally connect. The side stories explore their life after moving in together—watching them slowly discover each other’s daily habits and love languages is truly heartwarming.

📘 Love On Hold (모두에게 친절한 너는 왜) | Persistent Top × Airheaded Bottom
📖 Genre: School Romance
📌 Keywords: Mutual Crush, Stalker Top, Sweet Romance
⭐ Rating: ★★★★★
This webtoon, adapted from a novel, has completed the main storyline from the original source and is currently releasing additional side stories—still told in the same engaging, plot-driven style. The art is polished, the characters are vivid and expressive, and the pacing of their emotional interactions is spot on.
Seo Jeong-yoon (the bottom) is the sweet, smiley type—adorably clueless in a way that immediately makes him likable and comforting to both the top and the reader. Kang Chae-heon (the top), on the other hand, is a charming facade hiding a dangerously obsessive streak. He’s a stealthy stalker with a killer smile—switching effortlessly between brooding intensity and lovesick devotion, making him the ultimate gap moe.
The main plot begins in their college years, but the two actually met back in high school, where their feelings for each other had already started to build quietly over time. The side stories follow their adult life and even feature “meet the parents” arcs, offering plenty of sweetness—perfect for readers who love slow-burn, emotionally rich romance development.

📘 INSECRET (인시크릿) | Younger Top × Restrained Bottom
📖 Genre: Entertainment Industry
📌 Keywords: Group Romance, Self-Top, Cute Bottom
⭐ Rating: ★★★★☆
This webtoon has been completed, with 72 main episodes and 32 side stories. While the art style features slightly bolder lines, the character designs remain charming, and the emotional dynamics—especially within the idol group—are delicately portrayed.
The setting stands out for its rare use of the entertainment industry as a backdrop, focusing specifically on a romance between members of a K-pop boy group—something I haven’t seen as a central theme in other Korean webtoons so far, making it feel especially fresh. The main story centers on the primary couple, while the side stories spotlight a secondary couple, also group members.
The group’s name, INSECRET, is also the title of the series. The plot kicks off during the group’s rising career phase. Park Dojin (the top) is an unapologetically self-assured type who doesn’t care about public perception, while Choi Yuwon (the bottom) finds himself torn between love and career, constantly suppressing his feelings. As the story unfolds, Dojin softens and becomes more tender, while Yuwon gradually opens up, learning to be affectionate in return. Watching their dynamic shift from restraint to emotional dependence is truly heartwarming—love really can change a person.
