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 matters?

Apparently, the female lead is not in a love triangle but rather in a 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 ACTUALLY 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 though seems a bit familiar yet the progress and setting differ with this belief.

21. Shall We Have Dinner Tonight?

It is a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching romance webtoon. Be prepared with your handkerchief because shit is going to get tragic and darker as it proceeds. Several themes were raised in the webtoon including discrimination, racism, equality, sacrifice, and brutality. Highly recommended!

19. My Dear Cold-Blooded King

[Status: Ongoing]

Deals with a bit more than just ‘romance’ in the foreground. Great art and content. The depiction of romantic scenes is quite versatile. With a love quadrant forming at its peak, this webtoon gives you all the traditional vibes with a touch of feminism.

17. My Boo

[Status: Completed]

A beautiful story about a girl who can see ghosts and a ghost boy who lived his ghost years alone in the house he died. The ending is not entirely happy but all the more right and fulfilling. With a minimalistic art style, this manhwa has won many hearts. Even though throughout the story the characters cannot have any physical contact because of the obvious reason that the male character is a ‘ghost’ not once do you feel that the webtoon is only focusing on one aspect. Both characters help each other transform into a better person. A totally binge-worthy title that falls in the romance webtoons category.

[Status: Ongoing]

*Isekai Alert*

“I have been waiting father, um I mean your majesty! Marry me!”

Transported into a web novel and on top of that 20 years before the main tragedy plot began, as Princess Yerenica. To prevent the villain from being born and save the lives of many people including herself, Yerenica sets out to seduce the fath. *coughs* emperor.

A slow-burn love story with eye candy characters and heart-fluttering moments! A wholesome of cuteness with a decent pace.

[Status: Completed]

A little cliché, a bit of warmth, a small number of feels, a thoughtful story, and an EPIC romantic manhwa. I tried to describe this in as few words as possible because you can never describe something as astonishing as this manhwa. The pace is very stable as the relationship grows further. This provides a good amount of fun and seriousness to properly sustain a relationship as precious as theirs. Therefore, a must-read when it comes to the ‘romance’ genre.

11. I Love Yoo

[Status: Ongoing]

I Love Yoo scored a hit with its new curve towards high school romance and story. The art is by far marvelous and keeps getting better. As the story takes a drift you get into so many ships that the end game is impossible to spot out. Drama in this series matches the romance type and the way Shin Ae Yoo faces the negatives portrays the strong female character. From friendship to relationships with parents and siblings; all the aspects are carefully woven by the creator. Background detailing and foreshadowing are at the master level. The story is in its second arc by far and promises a wonderful plot ahead and gorgeous characters. Tip: Keep your theory formulating gadgets handy.

10. Devil Number 4

[Status: Ongoing]

It is one of those webtoons you cannot afford to miss. Devil number 4 is a story of a handsome Devil no.4 and his client Hanna Yoon.

08. Oh! Holy

[Status: Completed]

No doubt this webtoon will sometimes make you question your sanity and honestly, that is one of the strongest reasons why you should read this webtoon. This falls in the romance-drama genre with a gush of comedy and supernatural. This might seem pretty intense when evaluating the genres but will never disappoint you. The constant desperation of Holy Joo for Jaime Oh is irresistible. This kick starts with Holy, an overachieving-extrovert transfer student taking interest in Jaime Oh, a forever introvert boy whose only friend is a ghost. Then there is no turning back as you go down the adventurous ride of these two battling off their problems together. Portraying a strong female character with good comedy moments sprinkled throughout the course this is a go-to choice for satisfying a peculiar romance craving.

07. Honey Lemon

[Status: Ongoing]

You can find this romance webtoon under the discover section of the Line Webtoon app. This story does proper justice to the genre; romance webtoons. Kyongmi and Sora are two friends who have been together forever and as they grow through their weaknesses, witness their story. It has a proper romance setting with two pairs of best friends bumping into each other. Fear not for this won’t disappoint you at any point. Colliding versatile personalities the creators do a great job in putting the whole story down. Lots of sweetness, blushes, emotions, AND cats await you there.

06. True Beauty

[Status: Ongoing]

Tis’ but a sensation. Yes! True beauty is definitely not any webtoon but rather a whole sensation out there in the webtoon world. With art style so good that you have to go through the same panels again to take in the breathtaking beauty. The story in majority deals with three leads, Jugyeong Lim a girl with below-average looks, therefore, taking refugee under the makeup which is a unique feature to this story, Suho Lee, a top student plus awesome looks who does not care much about girls and Seojun Han who same as Suho have idol looks. All three go to the same high school and the plot intensify further. This does not end here as the webtoon further provides you with hysterical facial expressions that par the level of comedy element in the story.

05. A Good Day to be a Dog

[Status: Completed]

Now here comes a title that is absolutely nothing like the ordinary. As I started this manhwa I honestly thought that the story was a bit haywire and the strings did not properly connect yet as you reach the first 10 chapters everything starts making connections. This manhwa won my heart with Jin the awesome male lead and Hana the clumsy but all the more strong and relatable character. It is a light-hearted small manhwa with feelings that stay with you for life. Worth a binge or two (Guilty).

04. The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke’s Mansion

[Status: Completed]

Transported into a web novel as Raelina who’s destined to die young by being poisoned by her fiance. To prevent her death in the future, she must find a way to cancel her engagement. That’s how she enters into a deal with Noah, the duke of the kingdom to become her 6 months fake fiancee. And that’s how the love relationship of Raelina and Noah emerges. Started from a contractual relationship. How will it end as?

Lovely storyline topped with cute and humorous moments through a captivating art-style and strong characters. Thus, a refreshing slow burn romance webtoon.

03. Cheese in the trap

[Status: Completed]

So before anyone from the big fat CITT fandom kills me for putting it on this number I would like to make the reasons clear. Cheese in the Trap is one of the top titles which falls under ‘romance’ but the drama in the webtoon is extremely intense and often the romance part feels like just a small pinch of icing (Well! If you do not have a sweet tooth then kindly excuse me). I myself am a huge fan of this webtoon though it takes you down the dark road of psychology and suspense.

It is still necessary to put this up because you will never want to skip this masterpiece. The relationship of Seol with everyone and herself is shown in an extremely descriptive manner. Moreover, Jung is a character with multiple layering, and reading the manhwa as the layers peel of and starts making sense is a great experience. The storyline and foreshadowing are par with the usual level of expertise. When you want to dwell on a binge-worthy title with some beautifully romantic moments and still want to feel the rush of adrenaline while wanting to find out about the further plot; you know which turn to take.

02. Freaking Romance

[Status: Completed]

From the author of this webtoon you can expect everything; from sarcasm to humor to jaw droopingly beautiful art and an intricate story. This webtoon revolves around Zylith an aspiring writer who leaves her home and settles into an apartment with some shady background of having a ghost residing in. There the story takes off to writing filled with humor, romance, and everything but a predictable plot. Providing cliffhangers at all the right moments this webtoon will surely make you fall in love with itself.

01. Lore Olympus

[Status: Ongoing]

The top placed webtoon in the ‘romance’ section is Lore Olympus. If you have to ask why then you got to read it. It is basically a redo of Greek mythologies as the author perceives them. The plot is properly interacted and scattered to make a good story and provides you with a LOT of romantic moments. Persephone and Hades are totally head over heels for each other though where is the drama when there are no troubles? The art style is totally unique with full colors portraying different characters as a whole. You open it for feeding your curiosity and stay for everything it has to offer.

The End.

Thus, you have the list of top 40 romance manhwa – webtoons in your hands. The choices were very tough though we ranked them up by keeping the base genre in mind which is ‘romance’. This is a small list of webtoons – manhwa which is worth checking out.
