"Maybe Meant to Be" is a webtoon it's a Korean webcomic, the genre is Shoujo, Romance and Comedy. This manhwa contains a relationship between two adults who just got recently married. The story begins with our female lead who's name is Han Jia, she's a 32 years old lady, currently a freelancer and doesn't have a full time job. She's unmarried and stays in her parents house. In the beginning of the story it is seen that the parents of Jia is seeing a video of a kid who is their grandson and the grandparents seems to enjoying the video a lot. On the other hand Jia was cooking and getting frustrated over her parents because they were not helping her with cooking. Jia's mother responded that Jia is supposed to cook because she's not helping her parents anyway. Also, her father mentioned about Jia not getting settled down with a partner. This made Jia silent because that was the truth.
Meanwhile Jia's sister and her husband arrived with their kids at their home. Jia's sister was happily married and has kids and also offers Jia about getting married. This makes Jia very anxious because she didn't want that to happen. Later she was in a smoking zone to smoke and a tall guy with black hair appeared. He was eating the chicken bun in smoking zone this made Jia think that he's a stupid because he's eating food in a smoking area. Later when they talked she found out they had been neighbors since childhood and he looks completely different than he used to before. The guy name is Jin Mincheol, he is also 32 years old as Jia but he is a programmer at a well known mid-sized company and his rank is assistant manager. On the other hand Jia is still jobless. Jia thought his life is better than her but Mincheol shared that his parents are forcing him for marriage.
After hearing these words from him, Jia told him that they should get married because both of their parents wants the same thing and if they both get married then there won't be any problem anymore. Jia got nervous and said it was a joke but Mincheol took it serious and proposed her parents for their marriage and they agreed. This executed really fast and they got married in the very first chapter. In the 2nd chapter they were on a honeymoon and fun started from here. Their silly relationship begins with adventurous ride.
Currently there are two seasons and it's still on-going, This is a really good series because it is really funny and I like main leads chemistry. I am still waiting to see how the story develops in the future, because as far as I have seen there is more need of development in the characters. To be honest I saw high ratings on this book so it caught my attention. Some parts of their life is very relatable to me. I have never read this kind of story and it's not bad at all because it's way too funny and realistic. The artstyle is unique and amazing I must appreciate it. I really can't wait to see until Jia and Mincheol get closer. I am very excited to see something more interesting.
One thing I didn't like is the female lead Jia because she literally did not follow through, she's 32 but doesn't know how to have a sensible conversation about her feelings that is kind of annoying to see. I know age doesn't matter people sometimes do not act like their age but Jia is too much. She actually gave me second hand embarrassed one too many times. I wish she was more mature or she can get mature by the time. This could've been a high school love drama because the main characters act like teenagers. Well, they are supposed to grow together so let's see what happens next because the story did not end yet. The female lead is a yankee girl and male lead is a tsundere both are different but still they relationship is going very well. There's definitely better stories out there with the same plot so, I won't say this one is the best. But it is an average story with good amount of artstyle. I can not deny about how good the artstyle is even though the plotline is not as much as expected.
If you're not looking for something with high expectations then you can read this manhwa it will at least give you a good laugh. I would suggest this manhwa to comedy lovers! it is a package of comedy and you will enjoy each and every chapter. Specially the male lead is so funny that you might fall for him.
