Making people happy through the love of Webtoons

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
Welcome back to The K-drama study. Last time, we talked about Cafè Minamdang, which could've been a way better show than what the writers delivered. Today we will discuss Today's Webtoon, which aired from July 29th - September 17th. I've been excited to talk about this show since it first started. So let's jump into the show and remember there will be spoilers.

Disclaimer: Spoilers will be in this post, so read at your own will

Characters:

Kim Se-jeong as On Ma-eum: On Ma-eum is a fantastic character played by the beautiful Sejeong. Ma-eum is a warm-hearted person who loves to help people as much as possible. I love watching her character learn about working in Webtoons while still having a passion for reading them. I'm also glad the Ma-eun fixed her broken relationship with her father after she stopped judo. I found the acting from Sejeong, as she did a killer job playing her character. Right from the first episode, I fell in love with On Ma-eun, and she never disappointed me.On Ma-eun is one drama character I'll miss seeing since she warmed my heart in this show.

Choi Daniel as Seok Ji-Hyung: Ji-Hyung is another excellent character who helps the new PDs. I love the actor's acting as he portrays the character wonderfully. Ji-Hyung grows throughout the show, seeing him go from Deputy Editor to Co-CEO of a company that will work with webtoon Neon. Ji-Hyun has a warm heart but showcases it strangely. I wish him the best, being the Co-CEO of another company that will continue to work with Neon Webtoon. I will also mention that he is a great mentor to the two new PDs, Ma-eun and Jun-yeong.

Nam Yoon-su as Goo Jun-yeong: Jun-yeong is another interesting character. Initially, I didn't like him as it felt like he wanted to sabotage the Neon Webtoon division. However, as the show continued, I started to like him as he grew closer to the Webtoon staff, and we saw him change his way little by little. I love the interaction between Jun-yeong and Ma-eun, as they both work well together.

Story:
I fell in love with this show 3 minutes into the first episode. One moment in the first episode, we see Me-eun be a bodyguard for webtoon artists, which was fun to see. Later in the episode, she applies at Neon to work in the webtoon division even if she doesn't know much about webtoons besides reading them. One thing this story does well is developed side characters stories like some webtoon artists. Shin Dae-ryu was one of the webtoon artists that grew a lot in the show. Seeing Dae-ryu go from being shy to having more confidence was a thrill. Ma-eun took good care of Dae-ryu, helping him to grow in his webtoon creation. All the people at Neon webtoon work well together as they deliver some laughs to the watcher. The show does a killer job getting you interested in watching as you can feel the emotion from each of the actors. The show's ending was perfect as the character got to achieve their goals, but it made me sad that it was ending. We can learn much from this show, like not giving up when life gets complicated. I can't believe this show is over, but it was an excellent heartwarming show to watch.

OSTS:
Today's Webtoon has some killer songs released during this show's run time. Jihyo delivered the first song for the show, I Fly, which excited me to watch this drama. I got excited for this show because of the plot and Jihyo's OST. Next, Layone delivered OST #2, a singing/rapping one I still have on repeat. Finally, O.when gave a sweet 3rd OST which we heard a lot in the show and one that fits well with the overall vibe the writers and directors bring to the table for this drama. For the 4th track from this drama, we saw 90s singer Kim Tae Woo deliver his singing over a sweet acoustic-pop instrumental that works well with his voice. Next, Kimyeji provided a pop-rock OST with a bright vibe that always puts a smile on my face. Finally, Zeenan dropped the final song for this show, a ballad that makes me sad this drama is finally over. Overall, the OSTS is replayable and are some of the best this year, which keeps me coming back for more. Great job to all the artists and producers for crafting these tracks.

Thanks for reading my thoughts on the Sejeong drama Today's Webtoon. I've decided to give this show an A for being another tremendous drama this year, with excellent characters that grew during each episode. In addition, the writers did a great job crafting the story and teaching us about the webtoon industry. The cast was on fire, making each episode fun to watch. I can't wait to see what Sejeong will be doing next, and don't forget to look out for my Review of Joy's drama Once Upon a Small Town. Have a great day/night where ever you are in this world.
