Snow Drop



So-Na was kidnapped and raped as a child, but she is trying to put that experience behind her. When she meets Hae-Gi in high school, they realize they are similar in many ways and instantly click and fall in love with each other. However, a horrible and dark secret from their past threatens to tear them apart. Like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, Snowdrop is about two star-crossed teens who fall madly in love; a very romantic and dramatic manga.

Snow Drop is a very good manhwa by Choi Kyung-ah. It is 12 volumes long. This is a very good story. Very romantic and tragic, the story keeps the reader interested. The art has some very beautiful scenes. The heroine is very stylish and has some interesting hair styles and outfits at times. The last volume drags on a little, adding closure and completed happy endings, but all the tension and plots are truly resolved in volume 11. This manga also has a good lesson: Don't dwell on the past, don't dread the future, just live for today!

This sounds interesting, hopefully not to tragic, but you did mention there is a happy ending. :) I do find myself liking the art in manhwa, like in Bride of the Water God. But wow, 12 volumes, I'm not so sure! not really into long manga

This one's definitely one of my favorites! Somewhat tragic, but very uplifting. And yes, Manhwa has a different sort of art style, I've noticed the characters tend to seem taller/longer, and its very beautiful. Bride of the Water God is very good as well :)
