I will consider On or Off, Volume 4 as honeymoon filler. And oh….I am not complaining one bit. Ahn and Director Kahn finally professed their love I will consider On or Off, Volume 4 as honeymoon filler. And oh….I am not complaining one bit. Ahn and Director Kahn finally professed their love for each other (Ahn even had this “miracle” recorded) and are finally together. What follows is lot of naughty smut and lovable fluff and I am just sitting right here, shipping their relationship with all my heart. But a new challenge appears on the horizon that might just pop this cute couple’s misty bubble of contentment.
As always, this series is entertaining and ably bolstered by their colleagues, especially the ever-helpful, secretly smug, side-eye delivering Secretary Sha. Kang Daehyung continues to be the man/God of our hopeful dreams. Ahn deserves all the love, even when he gets a tad sappy.
As Ahn Yiyoung and his team settle into SJ Corporation, his interactions with Director Kang take on a more amiable and personal turn. But even after aAs Ahn Yiyoung and his team settle into SJ Corporation, his interactions with Director Kang take on a more amiable and personal turn. But even after a memorable night together, Kang’s inscrutability means that Ahn is unsure about his equation with the handsome and kind director.
While Ahn and Kang’s chemistry continues to be off the charts, what I really enjoyed in this volume was Mina’s (Ahn’s childhood friend and founder of their startup) analysis about Ahn’s love life. Diagnosed with a significant lack of empathy, she still manages to have a very accurate understanding of Ahn’s nature and his tendency to be a little unlucky in love. The friendship of Ahn and Mina is a rare and beautiful thing and it just gladdened my heart.
Yet another solid volume with some toe-curling moments. ...more

But a series of unexpected incidents lead him to accept a desperate proposition from the stern and handsome Director Kang in exchange for his presentation getting atleast a decent perusal.
What follows is the rather embarrassing and shaky start to the relationship between the top executive of SJ Corporation and the newest employee who still has stars in his eyes.
On or Off, Volume 1 is precious. Despite the seemingly dodgy start, it turns out to be an absolute delight. All the main characters are endearing, be it earnest and dedicated (but slightly ditzy) Yiyoung or the enigmatic Director Kang or Yiyoung’s painfully shy and chaotic teammates. The artwork is beautiful and I think I speak about Kang when I say this because, Sweet Baby Jesus and the 12 Apostles…..that man is a walking, talking epitome of the perfect man. It helps that despite the initial impression, he is actually a decent human being to boot.
I have been following this sweet and spicy manhwa for a while now and I am thoroughly invested in this budding office romance....more
Sun Yool is a burnt-out law student seeking a respite from enforced family obligations and a toxic partner who he is on the verge of breaking up with.Sun Yool is a burnt-out law student seeking a respite from enforced family obligations and a toxic partner who he is on the verge of breaking up with. He is advised by his mother to look after his ailing grandfather’s countryside tour business to rest and recuperate. As the Seoul-bred city slicker adjusts to a quieter and healthier pace of life, he might just find the brittle bits of his heart being healed by nature and his burly, adorable, young next-door-neighbor and dedicated farm boy, Yechan.
This manhwa turned out to be an endearing gem. The artwork is stunning and you want to lose yourself in the stunning vistas of lush country life. The slow-burn romance between a cynical Yool and the gigantic golden retriever in human form that is the lovable Yechan makes you want to wade through the 80 chapters as quickly as possible. The story is a blend of tackling serious issues of family pressure and pursuing your dreams while also charming the readers through the playful and chaotic banter between Yool and Sechan. Peppered with interesting characters who unexpectedly help the duo get their happy ending makes this a slice-of-life drama with depth.
Special mention for Dongsik, Yool’s grandfather’s dog who has to be the cutest and nuttiest cupid ever. ...more
