Love Tractor by Angrymonster and hmmyongyong

 

When family obligations force Sun Yool, a stressed-out law school student, to the countryside, it seems like a great opportunity to escape the chaos of the city. After all, the great outdoors promises fresh air, sunshine… and a new romance?! Soon after arriving, Sun Yool is thrown into a series of strange encounters and misunderstandings with his 20-year-old neighbor, Yechan. But in spite of Yechan’s bumbling first impression and Sun Yool’s prickly exterior, the two find themselves drawn to each other… Will this tractor-driving stud's rustic charm be enough to melt this cold city boy's heart?

My Rate: 8 (www.tappytoon.com/en/book/love-tractor and www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/lovetractor)

Love Tractor manhwa is for sure better than the drama adaptation, that, let's be true, was a bit boring. Probably the manhwa is better since it goes into their common life, 8 years into it, and therefore we can share a bit of their happily ever after. Both the manhwa and the drama is quite chaste, there is almost no sex, in the drama just a kiss, in the manhwa something more, but always on a very prim and proper way, letting a lot to the reader's imagination. In this case I was a little disappointed, cause Sun Yool is for sure sexy, and it would have been nice to see how he makes Yechan loose his inhibition. But at least we have a love story set in an ordinary environment with a happily ever after where the couple can share their happiness without being ostracized by whom is really important in their life.

Unromantic Romance by Seokchan Jeong

 

In a world where Omegas rule supreme, it’s tough being an Alpha. But Hyeon-oh’s been able to lead a decent, if a little boring, life so far and it seems like things'll stay that way. He’ll graduate from university, get a job as a reporter, meet an Omega who’ll take care of him, start a family with them and live happily ever after. The perfect romance. The kind of romance that starts when you ask the bartender to make a drink for the only other person in the bar. Little does Hyeon-oh know how that innocent gesture will pull him headfirst into the most unromantic of situations...

My Rate: 9 (www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/unromantic_en)

The story is a little twist on the ordinary Omegaverse universe, in the meaning that here the Omega are the superior gender, and the Alpha are the submissive partners. Among the omegas, Ga-in Chu is the most desired, an hyper-dominant omega heir to a big conglomerate business; on the other hand
Hyeon-oh Oh is an ordinary student, but he is indeed a dominant alpha. But that is not the reason why Ga-in falls for him, but rather because Hyeon-oh is sort of an innocent puppy, who is openly and madly in love with Ga-in, and Ga-in is not able to be mean to him... it would be like kicking a puppy. I liked this one, despite the fact it was a black and white design (I love my colors in manhwa) but the story was nice, very much romantic comedy, very little, if nothing drama... Ga-in's resistences fell down almost immediately and from that moment on, it's just full romance for these two.
