Good art paired with an interesting story is something no-one can turn down. It’s the reason webtoons are so popular and keep millions of readers coming back for more. This has led to many well-known book and even k-drama adaptations, such as Sweet Home, True Beauty, and Business Proposal. However, readers often have to wait for Korean webtoons to be translated, generating excitement when they are finally uploaded to the English platforms. In the past month, many trending series have arrived on the English site, and we’ve gathered the most awaited series amongst them to add to your reading list.
Disaster is Always By My Side
See You in My 19th Life, A Good Day to be a Dog; it’s clear that Lee Hye, the author of these popular works, has a knack for romantic comedies. So it’s no surprise that her latest series, Disaster is Always By My Side, was welcomed by readers. It follows the story of Dami, who has dealt with unlucky disasters her whole life. When she comes across a prickly god, Jaenan, everything changes and she wakes up to find that a whole decade has passed! Can she convince Jaenan to help her return to a normal life, or will the chaos continue to follow her? This is a charming supernatural romance that is perfect for those who missed the author’s imaginative, touching writing style.
Dead Mansion
Full of cutthroat fighting, this action series is bound to get your blood pumping. Despite their innocent appearances, the children of Dead Mansion, a special kind of orphanage, have been trained to be lethal weapons. They are raised to always obey the orders of their “parents”, the clients that purchase them. When one of the elite children that went missing is tracked down after five years, Dead Mansion will do anything to bring him back under their control. With twists and turns, Dead Mansion is a must-read for those seeking thrill and the satisfying takedowns of villains.
I Abdicate My Title of Empress
Royal-themed webtoons have a way of drawing you in with their extravagant palace settings and beautifully-drawn outfits. This series does exactly that and more, starring a compelling Crown Princess, Abelheid, who conceals her powerful mage powers. When she is forced into a political marriage with the mistrustful Emperor Karl Echmont, she must start from the bottom and gradually win over allies at court. If you enjoyed the noble romance and fantasy elements of the Remarried Empress, this webtoon is a great option.

Trapped in a Soap Opera
Getting transported into a tv show is a trope we’ve seen before, but what if it’s a soap opera, where the drama is heightened to the max? Trapped in a Soap Opera puts a unique spin on the typical reincarnation story, as the protagonist becomes the villainess of the soap opera she was watching before she died – the very villainess that is being targeted by the male leads after attempting to kill the protagonist. Read this webtoon for an unpredictable, entertaining romance where a TV show’s fictional world turns into reality!
In Between
With a vibe similar to Nevertheless, In Between draws you in with its unique art style. The plot follows Eunseo’s complicated relationship with Sihwa, her childhood friend. After he moves away, she shakes off her feelings for him, but her efforts turn to dust when he suddenly shows up at her college. Will she be able to salvage her friendship with Sihwa, who has changed so much in the six years that they were apart? Already, it looks like readers are in for a slow burn with plenty of character development as the protagonists navigate young adulthood.
