Park Hanhoo’s Manager is one of the reasons why I decided to create this list in the first place. Despite his looks, Hanhoo is an incredibly patient and sweet lover. He knows exactly what to say to reassure Chansol, and he doesn’t hesitate to show his affection. The plot is a murder mystery, and there are some dark elements including trauma. It is written incredibly well, and the twists are even better when rereading.
This story was another reason why I created this list. The smut happens later in the story since the mangaka took time fleshing out the premise and characters. I love how sweet Adachi and Kurosawa are to each other. I also admire how patient Kurosawa is and also his self control. It’s such a hilarious and adorable story. Also! There is an anime and live action adaptation! Go check them out too
Don’t let the weird name put you off (not sure what the mangaka was going for honestly). This is a cute enemies to lovers story with a very persistent top. I like how both Asami and Shitara both become more honest with their feelings as they spend more time together. There is attempted SA perpetrated by an ex, but it is stopped just in time.
Seokchan-nim is known for writing sweet BLs with caring and attentive tops, but I think this one is their best work yet! Sung Ho is a buff, hot single daddy who moves out to the countryside to raise his infant daughter. There he meets Haebeom who is intimidating at first, but a softie once Sung Ho spends more time with him. I love how Sung Ho initiates the flirting and how flustered Haebeom gets. They are so sweet and loving to each other; I can’t wait to learn more about them in season 2!
Wow talk about having it all Full Volume is my first BL manhwa and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sa Dowon is my ideal top fr. He loves Beom so much, and always makes sure Beom is comfortable with what they do together. I also love how Beom slowly warmed up to Dowon and comes to trust him deeply. Also they’re both kinky mfs and the authors portray kink very well. The side stories are amazing as well. I low key don’t want it to end, but I know we’re nearing the conclusion soon
I can’t help but love a good arranged marriage to real lovers story. Rin and Chiharu were able to find love in a place where previously only obligation bound them together. I love how adorable and caring Rin is, and how he persists with gentleness even though Chiharu is resistant. I also love how Chiharu grows to care for Rin and love every aspect of him, including his dragon features. They’re just so sweet to each other. I can’t wait for a next volume showing more about their married life!
This story is so exciting, funny, heartwarming, tense, just aaaaaaa. Dahyeok, an actor who’s always typecast as a sweetie boy, wants to break into film noir! But he doesn’t know how to look intimidating, so he tries to befriend Taeman, a scary looking convenience store worker. Turns out Taeman is actually part of a vigilante group that kills people. Taeman doesn’t want Dahyeok to know this, especially as their feelings develop, because what if Dahyeok leaves? I love these two so much aaaaa
Ohhhh my goodness this story is SO sweet, compelling, and funny! There were so many times where I literally laughed because the author is so good at drawing facial expressions and writing funny situations. I love how we got to see how Siwon grew and changed and became more confident in himself. I also love how patient Daun is with Siwon. They go from prickly acquaintances to loving and trusting boyfriends. The side couples are also very sweet!
