Here are some of the best romance manhwa completed and ready for you to binge read.

You might have already heard about this romance drama manhwa with over 57.7 million views on WEBTOON. Plus, talks of Hyun Bin and Son Yejin leading the webtoon based k-drama adaptation have been going around.

Daytime Star is only six episodes long, making it a great romance manhwa to read in one go. This story continues to capture readers, which may be due to its relatable lead, romantic thrills, and insights into the entertainment industry.

This manhwa is about an actress with a slow career. She seemingly has no luck in the industry, barely landing minor roles. However, her situation brings her closer to a top celebrity. These two somehow get involved in a new movie project, which becomes an opportunity for them to develop a romance.

If you’re looking for a longer story to indulge in, consider adding My Secretly Hot Husband to your list. Fans of romantic fantasies would enjoy this manhwa. Granted, its title might sound silly. Its premise is also a bit funny. However, this manhwa’s 114 episodes have over eight million views on Tapas for a reason.

Running from 2020 to 2023, this story follows Letitia, whose uncle arranges for her to marry the infamous “Monster Lord.” Terrifying as it may be, she soon discovers that her betrothed is nothing like the monster she imagined. He turns out to be secretly gentle and, most importantly, hot. Letitia helps her husband realize his true nature while protecting the castle from actual monsters.

For fans of historical drama, Getting To Know Grace is one of the best romance manhwa completed in 2023. This story follows Andrew Grace, a sickly girl from a prominent family, and her maid Herta. Although it’s another love story between two social classes, this manhwa is refreshing with beautiful art and writing.

When you decide to read this manhwa, expect every episode to have at least one panel of gorgeous landscapes. These illustrations only amplify the stunning character designs of Mokma. Get to know the Grace family’s secrets and discover how this story stands out from other romantic historical drama.

Another historical romance manhwa for your consideration is Her Tale of Shim Chong, based on a Korean folktale. This story follows the young beggar Shim Chong who lives off donations to support herself and her blind father. She falls in love with a new bride whom she rescues from a river.

Over 81 episodes and 9 specials, this manhwa gives readers romance, strong female leads, folklore, and fighting the patriarchy. You can read all episodes, extras, side stories, and specials on Tappytoon.

Also known as Raising a Bat, this title alone should hint at the story being a vampire romance. It follows Min-kyum, a high school senior who moves into a neighborhood with mysterious cases of blood loss. In his new school, he meets a suspiciously pale classmate.

My Pet Bat has 82 episodes, including 24 side stories, all of which are available to read on Lezhin. Read all about Min-kyum’s unusual predator-prey relationship with the “bat” he takes on as a pet.

Pro tip: My Pet Bat contains mature content, particularly in the side stories. Despite being available on Lezhin, these episodes may be unavailable to some readers. However, Lezhin Comics offers a Plus app where you can read manhwa with adult content.

Also known as Serious Joke, this one-sided slice-of-life romance follows Han Seok starting a new semester. On his way to school, a cat attacks him and meets Han Ki Woon, who saves Han Seok. These two turn out to be classmates and Han Seok’s infatuation with Ki Woon only grows.

Han Seok does everything to charm Ki Woon, only to sense a wall between them. This classic unrequited love story paired with a delightful art style is fun to look forward to every week. No Kidding has been ongoing since 2020 in Korea, with Lezhin US updating every Monday.
