Punch Drunk Love Vol. 2 by Okdong, Moscareto
4.0
This is just getting better and better! More outlandish, more outrageous and even funnier than Volume 1.
Seon-woo's greed knows no bounds.
"I give you a hand and you take the whole arm."

This was funny and silly and brilliant.
It was so funny to think that Tae-Moon thought he was scaring Seon-woo off when he actually wanted to be degraded even more. I love how most of what they said to each other is open to interpretation so that you can see why they have totally different views of the conversation, which lead to completely ridiculous misunderstandings.
Seon-woo is so depraved, and as kinky as Tae-Moon is he's got nothing on Seon-woo! I can't wait to see his reaction when he realises he's completely out of his depth.
"Were you expecting a picnic?" - I nearly CHOKED!

Just when things were looking up...it ended on a cliffhanger! Arrrgh!!!
I should have waited for Vol 5 to release, at least. But the fact there's a Work Life Balance spin off gives me hope.

This was oddly satisfying, to finally get to see more of Kang's POV. Secretary Cha is sneaky but awesome. I loved everything about this volume.

This was such a cute volume. I loved seeing Mina's POV, she was so amazing and supportive of Yiyoung, even though she's got problems with empathy.
I actually like how honest and blunt Kang is. But Yiyoung is a dreamer and falls head over heels helplessly. It's quite sad when there are so many misunderstandings between them.
"Why can't I accept that? That the best night of my life...only matters to me."

Poor Ahn Yiyoung is a sweet, very naive college age guy, invited to join his super-smart friend Mina, in starting a start-up business to create game apps. While everyone else seems to have their role, Yiyoung is a general dogs body, cleaning, fetching food and beta testing their products. When Mina faces a family crisis, she has to leave the business - hopefully short term - and leaves Yiyoung to make their presentation to a huge business. Except, everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong and he's left feeling helpless and desperate.
Enter Kang Dae Hyung - director and higher up of the company, who witness Yiyoung's awful presentation attempt. After work, he heads out to meet his current girlfriend only for her to break up with him. He's always preferred older women, but she suggests he tries dating someone his own age and leaves him feeling pretty frustrated.
Then Yiyoung appears, desperate to make a better impression than his failed presentation. Unfortunately, they both have their own perception of what's going on and wires get crossed, ending up in them having a very unemotional and non-sexy one-night stand!
And from there it just got more ridiculous and comically funny. While the story was a bit all over the place, it actually made sense for the Yiyoung, the main character. He was a bit strange and chaotic, so it made sense that the plot followed the same concept. The art was very old school and angular, but it was still cute and clear to understand. While the story was very sex orientated, it was still really funny and I'll continue the series.

The more volumes I read, the less I can talk about without giving spoilers, but...
I really love both Seunghyun and Jongchan. Jiyeon is an incredible friend.
I can't believe that Jongchan said all his past relationships ended because he wasn't romantic or around often enough because he can't leave Seunghyun alone! It's adorable!
The whole series has been so lovely and it was the perfect ending for these two. These will be a definite re-read for me.

Things did not go well for Seunghyun in this volume! He isn't good at explaining himself, or standing up for himself, and after how he was treated in the last volume that's no surprise. Jongchan isn't much better, too dismissive and clinical.
I love that this series is fade-to-black, because I really feel it suited the characters and the story. I loved that the story took centre-stage and although it was implied what went on, it wasn't overly graphic, which kept things nice and sweet.
There was a lot of office politics in the series, which surprised me but also made sense.

I absolutely loved this! The art is gorgeous and both MC's are clearly distinguishable, in looks and personality.
Seunghyun Woo is an intern at a big firm, joining the advertising team. It's not his dream job, but the only place he got accepted. He's had an unrequired crush on college friend Yusung for years, but recently given up hope. Unfortunately, he quickly discovers that Yusung works at the company he's just joined!
Worse, he's on a team with the most notorious leader - Jongchan Kim - who takes an unexpected shine to him.
I really loved Seunghyun and Jongchan, who were sunshine x grumpy together. They had amazing chemistry and a great story leading up to them getting together. I also loved Seung's bestie Jiyeon, who is so much fun.
Jongchan is the total opposite to Seunghyun - he's dated often, but always get accused of being married to his work and not invested in the relationship. Seunghyun on the other hand has zero experience, despite coming up for 30! So when they come together, there's a definite opposites attract trope as well as a virgin MC.
Seunghyun is SO cute and Jongchan is far more forward and fun than I expected. I can't wait to read more.

Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss! Vol. 2 by Gamoko Tsuyu

This was a fun and super cute follow-up about Kota and Naoya dating and navigating the ups and downs of when and where they luck will or won't work in their favour. I loved all the happy accidents it caused too.
