Webtoon is heaven for comic lovers. It has tons of material and thousands of genres to read & immerse yourself in. The good news is that many super popular and fan-favorite toons are featured in real action as well. Yes, directors take direct adaptations from the authors and produce them into successful K-dramas. Now, I’m bringing you the best of the best list to stream on Netflix today. Let’s check out one by one below.
Sweet Home
Survival dramas are all the rage now. This is the correct time to watch this timeless masterpiece, “Sweet Home”. Both webtoon and drama have excellent visuals. The story follows a world full of monsters, and any person with sinful emotions or hope in life gets infected. Now, tenants have to figure out how to survive both external threats & their internal desires together. Sweet Home has intense action with the finest cast & storyline, so a must-watch.

True Beauty
This drama is an international smash hit. Adapted from the webtoon with the same name, “True Beauty” is truly an enjoyable ride of love, friendship, and self-importance. Fans loved the storyline and especially the heroes, Suho and Seo Joon. The story of Lim Ju Kyung, who is not so beautiful by K-beauty standards, is often bullied. She learns makeup, and now she is sensational. Further, how she realized her true self and found love in chaos follows the remaining. I give special recognition to Webtoon because this drama art style is holy.

Adapted from the webtoon “Amazing Rumour”, the Uncanny Counter is another superhit mystery fictional drama. A group of demon hunters, “Counters,” work undercover in a noodle restaurant. They capture evil spirits and send them to eternal life. Every spirit is different; some are emotional, and some are malevolent. This supernatural drama has its kick & attracts an audience.

Business Proposal
The story is adapted from the super popular web novel ”The Office Blind Date.” Our Heroine, Shin Ha Ri, goes on a blind date with a rich CEO in place of her best friend. Only to discover that he is her boss & now intends to date her as his girlfriend. Later, how they fall in love surrounds the whole story. I feel the magic of a Business proposal lies in the cast, music, and the right balance between cringeworthy comedy and pure love. If you love romcoms, stream this!

Conclusion
I believe creating art forms and writing stories like this comes only from real talent. So this time, don’t just stream the K-drama. Most of the comics above are freely available. Read them first and conjointly watch, you will understand how characters and stories are portrayed from reel to reality. This is just like a game or book adaptation to a series. But comics are way more fun, so do try, like I said!
