The RPG related small events reminded me of so many games, specially the guild & quests. It was refreshing to see office romance & MMORPG as a combo. Joonyoung is Black Peng & ML. It's completed with 63 chapters.
This is amazing! I totally recommend. Not only does it incorporate the MMORPG and gaming trope into the story that's centered around office life (which is unique in and of itself), it also leaves the readers in the dark about who Black Peng is (from the point I've read up to). I'm sure many people have complaints about that particular aspect, but I personally find it refreshing. Most manhwas that have similar setups as this reveal who it is almost from the get-go but this one doesn't. I like that. It gives me something to constantly consider and turn over in my mind. Too many Webtoons/Manhwas these days just let you know everything right off the bat as the reader and it's starting to get old. Definitely suggest this.
They had me in the first half, ngl lol. The mystery of who Black Peng was got me HOOKED right away, and the tension in-game mirroring the tension in real life between Sarang and the two men was so good. I desperately wanted Junghoon (the new art director, not her childhood friend) to be Black Peng but oh well, he got his happy ending even if it was weirdly rushed and happened almost entirely off-screen.
Once the mystery of "who is Black Peng?" was solved, the manhwa became (and I hate to say this) really boring. The tension disappeared and it became a low-stakes, low-effort action manhwa. There weren't even really any rewarding moments between Sarang and the ML; it was just like one day they weren't together and the next, they were dating and super happy and cutesy.
I'm trying really hard to rate this story for what it was, not what I wished it would have been. The art is fine, though the characters facial expressions didn't have much variation sometimes. And this is a nitpick: having Sarang name her character "Amor" should never have been portrayed as a mystery lmao, they are both almost literal translations of the word "love" and none of the characters should have been confused as to whO cOuLD aMoR possiBLY BE????
This is so good
i made an account so i could rate it
No antagonist, no scheming, no faceslapping
Just pure slice of life and perfect love triangle with likeable leads
Plot was rushed at the end but it doesn't feel wierd

Okay, so why the bloody hell is it not popular?! This is a sirius hidden gem combo of gaming, office workers, childhood friends, love triangle, modern manhwa... I highly recommend it. Read till ch-55.
Btw.. The potterheads know I am not a muggle 😜
