Well this is probably the first time writing a review on this site, and I decided to do so because there isn't a lot of reviews on this manhwa. An hour of romance is almost the perfect rom-com manhwa, it made me laugh out loud at some scenes and the romance was a bit of a slow burn but it was so worth it. Moreover what makes this manhwa stand out is the characters, every character is so well written and has some depth to them. And I enjoyed the power dynamic between the FL and ML, it’s refreshing to see a strong successful and cold-hearted FLwho is a manager fall for the cute and goofy ML who is a new employee cuz it’s always the other way around. There are some chapters that feel underwhelming like the child monk’s arc, but it was necessary to make sense of the whole plot so it was ok. Also this manhwa touched on some heavy topics such as suicide and trauma, so don’t read it thinking it will be all sunshine and rainbows… Overall I gave it a 8/10 and it will definitely be on my top 5 rom-com manhwas!

My Boss's Special Request

Synopsis

Jooahn and Dojin couldn't be any more different at work. She's a perpetually single career woman who takes everything too seriously and rules with an iron fist. He's a modelesque klutz with a heart of gold who lucked into an entry-level marketing job. But when a company trip to a mysterious temple starts an inexplicable soul swap, they end up switching bodies for an hour each day. To avoid utter embarrassment and keep up their reputations, the unlikely pair will have to cooperate and bide their time. Will Jooahn learn to sympathize with the pretty boy who can't do anything right? And will Dojin see the softer side of his boss's spiky persona? From the artist of hit rom-com What's Wrong with Secretary Kim comes an all-new company couple about to spark some serious fireworks. (Source: Tappytoon)

Love it! Perfect read if you’re looking for fluffy Business Proposal style romcom (with bonus Buddhist supernatural shenanigans and a healthy serving of tragedy on the side) Premise is a classic body swap office/apartment romance between a 34 yo career woman, Cha Jooahn and her hot pro-volleyballer turned reluctant office worker subordinate Yoo Dojin. Their dynamic is very much boss lady FL x puppy dog switch ML, and it’s got probably 4/10 spice pretty late into the series :0 I’m not a huge fan of body swaps tbh but I think they managed to inject basically every possible awkward m/f swap scenario: swapping during showers, swapping atwork, swapping while sleeping, swapping with bffs…the humor of the swaps is really top notch. There’s also some supernatural stuff here—the swaps are engineered by 176 yo child monk Nahyul (who has his own absolutely heartbreaking story) and they occasionally help him hunt for souls. Both Jooahn and Dojin have somewhat tragic backstories too, Dojin with a career ending sports injury and Jooahn with…serious family issues. It’s mostly romcom but the end is kind of heavy, I was shedding a few tears. The side characters aren’t that deep, sadly, because there was so much potential! But they’re great wing people—Jooahn’s bff Mihyang’s dual personality as chaotic salarywoman erotica writer and absolute diva sent me lmfao and Taehoon is…eh funny too. Ms Na is such a legend, she’s so funny. Only thing I’d critique is that the middle is a bit bloated and slow, but would’ve been great as a weekly webtoon <3
