The female lead is the best example of it, and her appearance is not flawless; she has pimples and eye bags. Such character influences more audience. Also, throughout the story, no character is good or bad. For a reader, it doesn’t take long to grasp that each character is simply unique, and the plot has a lot of grey areas.

In this webtoon, the portrayal of principles and the duty that comes with being a teacher is exceptionally accurate. You witness Hana making many decisions that showcase her office life and its effect on her decision making. The plot also involves workplace romance to make it all the more enjoyable.

The pacing in the starting chapter is slightly slow and might feel boring though it gets extremely better.

07. Fight on Yeo Manager

A woman alone working in an office with all men is still a familiar topic. So, what about a woman working in an office with all gay men? Our main protagonist is a manager at a firm that includes all men who thrive on yaoi clichés all the way. On top of that, they are incompetent as most of their focus is on keeping their personal lives a ‘secret’. The only straight man and functional individual is her boss, who looks like a broom with glasses. Additionally, to upset it more, he is always bashing at her for every little mistake.

However, everything goes down as one of his coworkers, Samantha Cho, gets to know about his fantasies. A potential dominatrix, she starts spending time with him to understand each other. Now begins the story of a unique master-slave relationship.

This webtoon is a humorous account of Sam and Samantha’s relationship. Unlike what the name and title suggest, the webtoon does not contain much sensual content. This is a good story shot toward accepting and understanding your partner.

05. BL Motel

A tremendously humorous webtoon with extreme potential yet to unfold. Jinowon is a fully functional office worker, and now his parents give him inheritance to a restaurant they own. At first, Jinwon is dubious as to how he will manage to work, but the inclination towards money leads him to work in the restaurant. Additionally, to his surprise, he realizes that the restaurant is in dire need of repair. He starts working on it after using his strike upon the salary. Now the problem is the name of the restaurant, which is Ballantine Motel, nice but it is long. Hence coming to an obvious conclusion, he brainstorms for a nickname, and the resulting name of the restaurant is BL Motel.

The motel turns out to be a great success, but something bothers Jinwon. It is the fact that only gay couples keep coming to his restaurant, and he is utterly oblivious to the situation. The story takes even more twist as he hires a coworker, and now his coworker can’t stop thinking about him.

04. Gourmet Hound

Gourmet hound focuses on chef culture. Lucy, our main protagonist, an unusual combo of a cinnamon roll and carrier of super-human smell and physical strength. Lucy is in search of a chef whose dish is the only thing left about her connections to her grandmother. The search begins when the news breaks to her that her favorite restaurant, Dimanche, is no longer with the same kitchen staff.

The story gains pace as Lucy accidentally encounters Graham Ramos and Brie Malik, two former Dimanche chefs. This leads to an adventurous chase for ‘the’ perfect dish she wants. The art style is exceptionally great, and half of the times, you’d be asking yourself, Why do all these characters look so good? The author does proper justice to the whole story and focusses timidly on chef culture and the work-life webtoon genre. To conclude, this is a sweet heartwarming story that you cannot afford to miss.

03. What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim

Also adapted into a drama, this webtoon is a ‘must’ amongst all the titles of the work-life webtoon top list. Gaining a big fandom due to its new concept and doing good as a k-drama is something you should give a try.

Secretary Kim AKA Miso is the backbone of a major corporation. Her boss is an arrogant and narcissistic man, and she is the only one who could take up on this job. A perfect secretary, a critical worker, and a legend tag. But she wants to quit after nine years of working. Is there nothing that can stop her? And why is she leaving?

02. The Office Blind date

An office romance story with a thrill throughout each panel. Shin Ha-ri goes to a blind date on behalf of her friend. She is oblivious to the events that are going to follow her further. Now suddenly her boss proposes to her. Will she be able to work safely at her office now?

This work-life webtoon ideally involves many genres, office relationships, drama, romance, and comedy. The art is also good, leaning slightly towards manhua style. This is a new favorite among the people looking for office relationships or work-life webtoon titles.

01. Age Matters

One of the biggest problems I encounter with work-life – romance genre webtoon is that after some time, the work part is left behind by it. I get you are a billionaire CEO, but sir, the company, doesn’t work by itself while you chase your love life. This webtoon makes it a point to keep the office work in the centerline while taking on the romance part further.

Rose is a girl reaching her 30s within months, and the starting of her 30s is not going according to the plan as her long-time boyfriend dumps her. Along with the emotional setback, financial insecurities creep down her life, and in a turn of events, she ends up getting employed as the assistant of the CEO of a top chatting service, which is the youngest to have achieved such heights in business. The story progresses with both characters dealing with their issues and subsequently helping each other out as the question is still under the surface, does age matter?

The female lead is not in a love triangle but instead in love pentagon or something. Consequently, you lose count when everyone is swayed with a strong-open personality. The fact I love the most is that the business endeavors are given proper light opposite to how usually it is shown in most of the webtoons with a billionaire and girl falling for each other. The webtoon’s base seems a bit familiar, yet the progress and setting differ with this belief.

Enjoy this list of webtoon and manhwa on the theme, office relationship, and work-life. Also, mention below if we missed any other worthy title.
