Sally and Bean-Webtoon

 I got into reading webtoons because of kdrama.   Fortunately, Naver has English version, though I think should read the Korean version alongside the English version to improve my language skills.

Most of the webtoons, honestly, are meh!  They are set in fantasy European kingdoms and are not my cup of tea. 

Then are some that were absolute favourites. Unfortunately, they got made into kdrama and the entire premise of webtoon was ruined.  The prime example is See you in my 19th life.  The webtoon was a lovely read with the heroine being able to remember all her lives with each of her birth.  The resolution of how she is able to get out of the curse was the highlight. The kdrama completely ruined the story leaving most of us watchers wondering why the writer of the webtoon had even agreed to dramatize it in this way. 

Then there are those that I wait with bated breath for the weekly episode.  Sally and Bean is one such webtoon.  Sally is a grumpy witch and Bean...well, he is a really stretchy dragon.  Sally and Bean tells their story.  There are Unicorns, and trolls, and demon, Pazuzu, who has been actually mandated to guard Sally... It is a funny and heartwarming story.

Other than Sally and Bean, I am also reading The Crown Princess Scandal.
