Plot-wise, or more like the dynamic between the characters (enemies to lovers trope) ? Because if it's the second one, I might have some suggestions up my sleeve ~
Wait pls give the recs for the dynamics... I'm so starved rn
Yay ! So, listen, it’s often the second couples’ stories that perfectly embody the enemies-to-lovers trope in a tsundere-ish and spicy way, similar to the vibes between Jooeon and Pilsang. That's why many of these couples start off as toxic red flags but eventually turn into green flags as they grow and mature within the relationship.
**The first one that comes to mind is the second couple in Cherry Complex (Cherry Picking), Rakhyun and Eunho. They are the perfect example of problematic characters falling in love and ending up being wholesome and a better OTP than the main couple. (There will be side stories about them set to be released in April, so yay !)
**Then there's Bad Apple (also a sequel focusing on a second lead character), the sexual tension between Adrian and Enzo is chef’s kiss ! The story is currently on hiatus after season 1 ended last year, and I believe it will return in May.
**There’s also the second couple in Arts Manz, Joohyuk and Woojin, whose story begins in chapter 40, I think. They have a similar dynamic to early Jooeon and Pilsang, especially since the uke was also a top turned bottom— just like Pilsang, lol ~
(Adrian from Bad apple too is a top turned bottom now that I think about it ლ(´ڡ`ლ) !)
Finally, there’s Body Complex — which was a bit rushed and a little nutty, but nostalgic enough for me to include it on the list.
(Note: Some, if not all, of these stories involve themes of SA and dubious consent, as these couples are often characters who played villains in previous works but get a chance at character development, redemption, and a happy ending — kind of like Jooeon and Pilsang but more toxic. Just wanted to mention that upfront ! )
I mainly focused on manhwas cause I don’t know if you’re into mangas too, but I have a bunch of those as well ^^ !
The second one please — I love this kind of dynamic! This reminds me so much of 19 days so anything like this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much! I love you lol
I will start Cherry Complex today — weirdly I've never seen this before
You're very welcome! (≧∀≦) I hope you enjoy the reading Cherry Complex is really good — hope you'll like it ! (๑・ω・)و✧
Y'all help me out here — anyone knows any story that is like this?
