Punch Drunk Love Vol. 1 (2025)

This is the third collab between Moscareto and Okdong, and at this point I know whatever they work on is simply ✨magic✨. Seon-woo is my fav manhwa dork, and I am vicariously living through him, rooting for him to get all his depraved sex fantasies fullfilled. You go, boy! Show everyone that nerds can get all their kinky dreams come true too.😍🥰💗

Also, super excited to know there is gonna be a 3rd season!!🥳🥳
In my mind, they are doing it for me!!🥰

The OTT MC, the second hand embarrassment, the clothes, the miscommunication 😂😂😂😂 it’s so good
Also, the chibis are so cute 🥺🤏

This was hilarious and ridiculous and I loved it. This could very easily have been creepy, but the author takes these recognizable tropes of miscommunication and manipulation and goes wild with them.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Office BL for the ultimate win! And to top it off, this was completely smutty almost BDSM. I didn’t know whether I was blushing or getting all sweaty from the heat.

I love when the MC doesn’t know how hot they are or with a little bit of a makeover, they become drop dead gorgeous. Seon-woo is that betch!!! He’s the creep, nerdy guy with no friends who is completely head over heels for office hottie Tae-moon. When he finds out that his crush is into guys, he shoots his shot… only problem is, it’s at the complete wrong time and comes off as more of a blackmail situation instead.

I need Tae-moon to realize that Seon-woo is the perfect man for him and them to ride 🍆 off into the sunset. 😂

This was 2hot2handle! Loveeeeeeeeed!!!!

they took the miscommunication to a whole another level

This was overall very light-hearted as both main characters end up in a sexual relationship due to a misunderstanding....

There's actually a lot of misunderstanding here, so uh.... if you don't like that, don't read it, but it was pretty funny.

The brown-haired ML is not my cup of tea, but maybe he'll get better in the future..

Either way I like it enough to continue it.

This is the most random miscommunication ever. Also, somebody PLEASE save Seon-Woo from his fashion choices

I’m cackling so hard because this first volume is the epitome of the tag, plot what plot. I hope we get some plot in the next volume, and that this miscommunication gets solved asap.

me: lets read some smut
PDL: *has me dying of laughter the entire time* (the smut was still good, but the humour was what really got me)

Oh I was giddy and giggling and kicking my feet from the start. This was such a fun read. The dynamic of the two is so funny! I was audibly cackling at home. These two just need to trust each other but I truly hope Mr.TAE MOON falls fast and falls deeply!

this is so wtf but hilarious !

Seriously hilarious, I havent laughed this much reading a webtoon in ages

My favorite everything!!!

This was silly and spicy and just a good time. I definitely want to get vol 2 and see how things play out.

the little chibi characters are so cute when they come up. anyways if you saw i read this.. um NO YOU DIDNT

Rating: 4/5

This is ridiculously funny, and yet so wholesome? I love Seonwoo and Taemoon's dynamic, and Seonwoo is such a cute character. Can't wait to read more about them.

While I love this cover so much, this manwha was overall pretty disappointing. There was little fluff or cuteness to be had, which is really what I want from an office romance. In fact, it was pretty harsh a majority of the time. I will not be continuing with the series.

so so funny

Just about a guy crazy uke & his BSDM loving boss seme. art looks cute but it’s going to be those types of stories that shows misunderstandings as well as the seme becoming an asshole..

Really charming and fun. 3.

peak comedy

This webtoon is still ongoing, but I'm thinking volume one covers the first season and I want to count it toward my reading goal, so I'm going to.

This weird little story is delightful. There are definitely some annoying miscommunication vibes, but it's stumbling and cute and I have really enjoyed following these characters and look forward to reading more about them.

genuinely this is brilliant. the art is lovely and very funny. there's a lot of gimmicks, running jokes and references that flesh out the scenes. the mc seun woo is funny and has a personality of his own. he's very determined in getting what he wants, which so happens to be the hunky dreamboat ml tae moon. they have great chemistry too. seun woo is unabashedly horny and tae moon has long suffering energy lol

the only acceptable miscommunication book.

Hilarious and sweet a must read!

This was so cute! I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait for season 3.

This is a hilarious story full of the cringiest moments that'll make you burst out laughing while also clutching your chest out of intense second-hand embarrassment. Both main characters are huge cuties who are great together.

Seon-Woo is over-the-top, nerdy, ridiculous, clingy, fabulous, horny, desperate and clueless. Tae-Moon loses his composure a heck of a lot for someone who looks so serious on the outside. He has the best panicked reactions to Seon-Woo's antics, and is also delusional enough to make up absolutely wild assumptions about him even when Seon-Woo attempts to tell him nothing but the truth. It creates really hilarious misunderstandings!

Despite their crazy misunderstandings and abysmal communication, they actually work SO well together. Tae-Moon just wants to be loved for who he is, and Seon-Woo is the overly clingy golden retriever who's so helplessly in love with him. Seon-Woo is a horny ridiculous man with a long list of fantasies, and Tae-Moon is just the man to fulfill them all. But he also comes to really love Seon-Woo's ridiculousness and compares it to walking around happily drunk. He even encourages Seon-Woo to go back to his nerdy outfits if that's what he really likes.

Despite attempts by Tae-Moon's father to split them up and disciplinary hearings at work from asswipe managers who have it in for Seon-Woo, these two dodge every obstacle with flair because they completely have each other's back. They're an excellent team and that's what makes them a great couple.

This is a laugh-out loud comedic romance, low on drama, high on cringy antics, and super wholesome despite all the raunchy sex. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve had this on my TBR for a bit because I absolutely love “The new employee” (same author) and decided to pick up the first volume when I saw it was getting printed. I blew through it so fast and started reading it online immediately. I love how this author writes the virgin trope, not only are the characters grown, but they’re fucking adorable and pretty comfortable with their sexual orientation.

First thing I thought while reading was “why is this hunk (Park Seon Woo) covering those sweet cheeks with that boring ass suit?!” Then he started yapping about being ordinary and I’m like huh? are we looking at the same person?

There was also a part where Tae Moon rejected Seon Woo in his car and I found myself getting a bit angry and just thinking “This fucking asshole, there’s no need to call him a loser or insult him. You can just reject him and call it a day, I can’t wait for this MF to grovel because he’s obsessed with Seon Woo’s ass….” but clearly, Seon Woo was getting off on his degrading tone 🤣😂🤣. I just love it and Tae Moon seems to think he’s scaring him away. I can’t, this is too funny.

The gap between Seon Woo’s dorky appearance and his dirty fantasies is what did it for me, the fantasies are very specific and despite being a virgin, he knows what he likes. That makes for an extremely fun read especially when you throw in the miscommunication between him and Tae Moon where sex is concerned. This is the only type of miscommunication I endorse in my BL, it was entertaining as hell and I can’t wait for the third season.

There is so much going on in here.

Thoughts:
- Seon-woo, baby, please get a better fitting suit, who the fuck even let you buy a suit that baggy, jfc. I'm going to find it and set it on fire.
- The miscommunication is UNRIVALED. It's amazing. They're speaking the same language, using the same words, and having a conversation, and yet they are drawing wildly different conclusions about each other and their intentions, actions, and truth. It started out as annoying, especially with Tae-moon just completely misunderstanding Seon-woo and basically creating an entirely fake version of him in his head, but by the end of this volume it had gotten so ridiculous I couldn't even be actively mad anymore. Also, because, even though it's taken to an extreme, it still kinda makes sense? Like yeah, your previous relationships and understanding of how the world works does impact how you interpret people's words and actions, so it makes sense they're misunderstanding each other.
- The miscommunication is so bad that I, as a reader, ended up questioning the truth. Tae-moon says Seon-woo blackmailed him so many times that eventually I was like did he??? Did he and I just missed it??? No, I didn't, and he didn't. Tae-moon just made up that version of reality and is sticking to it. I'm actually really excited for when, if, they actually sit down and sort things out.
- Another reviewer called this epitome of the tag 'plot what plot' and I could not agree more. Really hope we get a real plot in later volumes. It's really pretty though!

This is a Korean Office romance story. We follow Seon-Woo who enjoys being ordinary with an ordinary life. He has an ordinary accounting job. The thing not ordinary about him is that he has a crush on his boss.

The plot at the beginning is pretty thin. Still, this is the perfect thing to read after my heart was crushed yesterday seeing the death of democracy. This bit of fluff is a little balm as we descend into madness. I figure I have until January 20th to live free, so I'll read what I want while I can. My days are numbered.

Seon-Woo has a meeting with his boss Tae-Moon where he sees a personal text confirming the boss is into guys. So he blurts out to his boss that he wants to have sex with him. So, it all starts.

I think Seon-woo is crazy, but I like him. I haven't decided about Tae-Moon yet. What's funny about Tae-Moon is how he overthinks everything. He doesn't understand that Seon-Woo is innocent and just has a crush. Tae-Moon thinks he's subtly blackmailing him and so on.

Anyway, the story is simple and it was a lot of fun. Very entertaining. A few moments I wasn't crying since this election

Seon-woo works as an accountant at a good company and he's hopelessly in love with Tae-moon, an HR specialist. Despite his messy looks, bad taste in clothes and ill-fitted suit, all Seon-woo wants is some DICK. When Seon-woo finds out that Tae-moon is gay and using a hook-up app, he unexpectedly propositions him for sex. Tae-moon is pissed that he's getting blackmailed and Seon-woo is over the moon that Tae-moon agreed.

This is such a silly, fun ride. The smut is S-tier. The misunderstandings are funny. Both of the main characters are absolutely hilarious to watch go down these rabbit holes of rampant imaginations. Even though Tae-moon is angry at Seon-woo and conjures up this idea that Seon-woo is a playboy who was abused as a child (he wasn't), Tae-moon soon falls in love. It's just so funny to watch Seon-woo be very open and honest with his background and feelings while Tae-moon misunderstands everything about him.

Don't take this series seriously. It has the glasses-make-you-ugly 90s plot, bastard child to rich man drama, classic misunderstandings, etc. I really can't help but love this series and it's one of my all time favorites.
