No Love Zone by Danbi

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

The full-color Boys’ Love webtoon/manhwa (comic) that inspired the animation comes to English print for the first time! Don’t miss this Mature-rated rom-com about a friendly office worker and his handsome (but tyrannical) boss!

It’s been about a year since Lee Eunkyum started working at his office job. He’s outgoing and gets along well with his co-workers, but his success with romantic relationships is less than stellar, especially since he tends to fall hard and fast based on looks alone. History seems poised to repeat itself in the form of his new boss, Han Jihyuk.

The handsome Han Jihyuk is exactly Lee Eunkyum’s type, but his personality is a total turn-off as he proceeds to work Lee Eunkyum to the bone. The more aggravated Lee Eunkyum feels, the more he can’t get Han Jihyuk off his mind. Could this heated attraction be mutual?

My Rate: 7 (amzn.to/3SlwgOX)

I like this one cause it was cute and basically without drama. Sometime I just need something simple, without having to worry too much about the happy ending, and just enjoying the ride towards it. Eunkyum and Jihyuk went to high school together and Jihyuk actually confessed to Eunkyum only to be carelessly rejected. Actually I can sympathize with Eunkyum since Jihyuk was a stranger, they had actually never talked, and being confessed so suddenly wasn't something he had never expected. Plus, yes, Eunkyum was a little vain and Jihyuk not exactly his type. Years later Jihyuk had undergone a growth spurt and is now tall and handsome and Eunkyum's boss... While Eunkyum does not remember him, he is now actually Eunkyum's type, and as I said, the step from colleagues to lovers is short and quick. There is a lot of sex, but it's almost done with a light mood, and therefore is joyous and sexy at the same time. No Love Zone is basically a romance romp, you don't have to expect much deep, but just enjoy it.
