Webtoons have effectively removed biases people have against comics, especially when it comes to aesthetics, excitement, and expressions, and have done so in an attractively novel way. At times, the webtoons themselves are more thrilling and captivating than their live counterparts.So, if you haven’t plunged into this whole new world yet, allow us to introduce you to some of our favourite webtoons that we would love to see get a drama adaptation.
1. “Act Like You Love Me”
A stressed-out poor girl down on her luck ends up spending a day as the personal assistant of the superstar Nam DoYun. At the end of the long day, she takes out all her anger on a doll. However, it turns out, the doll has the magical ability to control Nam DoYun at her whim! Hilarity ensues as the tables are turned and soon, everyone finds out who’s boss.

2. “My Boo”
If you’re more of a melodrama person but you’re also tired of the cookie-cutter romances, this webtoon is for you. The title itself is an intelligent yet cute pun because the premise of the book revolves around a young woman and her invisible roommate. The author sincerely fleshes out her characters and follows through with her preface and as such, the story leaves a bittersweet taste. There’s no sunshine and rainbows here but that is exactly what makes it even more human. Human dramas are aplenty in the Korean entertainment industry and they’re executed supremely well, which makes us think that if “My Boo” were to be adapted, it would truly be a great watch.
