Need recommendations for webtoons like “Selfish Romance”

Recommendations

Hi! So I finished the available episodes of Selfish Romance the other day, and it’s currently ruining other manhwas for me at the moment 😅 It’s just the perfect webtoon for me—mature characters, balanced amount of drama and humor, green flag mc, storyline depth and likable side characters (except for the exes).

I really love the chemistry between Yumin and Hyeondo. I love the pace of slow-burn; it’s not rushed or dragging. I love everything about this manhwa.

I tried reading Maybe Meant to Be yesterday, mainly because it’s complete. I am aware that it’s a rom-com and it’s really funny however, it’s not hitting to me atm, I find the characters kind of childish, so I’m really pushing through it right now. I hope it gets better.

But in case, I dnf it, do you have manhwa/webtoon recommendations like Selfish Romance. I’m not new to Webtoon but I took a break for a long time so there might be a lot of webtoons I haven’t discovered yet.

On-going webtoons I’m reading now:

- Can’t Get Enough of You (I need to catch up to many episodes though I think I need to start over)

- Love 4 a Walk (I absolutely adore this one)

- A Child Who Looks Like Me (love this one too)

TBR: Iseop’s Romance, Operation: True Love and Romance 101

Do you think I should continue with Maybe Meant to be? Or should I pick some from my TBR instead? If you have other recommendations I will really appreciate it! 🥹🙏

TL;DR:

I loved Selfish Romance because of its mature characters, slow-burn romance, great chemistry, and balanced drama/humor, and now other manhwas aren’t hitting the same. I’m trying Maybe Meant to Be, but the childish vibe isn’t working for me. Should I keep going or switch to something from my TBR (Iseop’s Romance, Operation: True Love, Romance 101)? Also looking for recommendations with a similar vibe to Selfish Romance.
