Han Yu Rang isn't actually a real person but rather many different artists who publish what basically amounts to "pulp manhwa" (or Harlequin romances, for a modern equivalent ;S) under one name (same with Hwang Mi Ri). Personally, I find "her" to be a total hack (of "her" own works, no less) and not a good example of an author of original, high-quality manhwa ("she" does not accurately represent the contemporary manhwa industry, in any case), but if you want "more of the same," then, like Andrez-ssi said, you'll probably enjoy "her" works because they're very formulaic. (At least until the sameness burns you out, like it did with me. laugh )

I don't really know what genres you're interested in, but judging from the titles you named, I would hazard a guess at romantic comedies? Crush on You is a really sweet one. You might like Bride of the Water God if you like fantasy with your romance. Hmm... Lately, I've been reading mostly webtoons as opposed to traditional manhwa. I definitely recommend looking into them, as they're generally held to a very high standard of quality that you don't always get with traditionally published manhwa (likely due to the competition-style method of determining what warrants publication). The art tends to be very different from conventional manhwa (more cartoony/anime-ish and streamlined since webtoons are usually full-color), so much so that's it's sort of become its own distinct style. ^^ If you elaborate on what genres you like, I can give you some recs that might interest you! eyes

Yeah. I have read other works of hwang mi ri and han yu rang. As i was recently introduced to manhwa or manga, apparently, these took me by surprise wink
Yes. Webtoons are getting quite popular these days. I have read 'pinocchio' by maru, lately which was quite cute and The art work was amazing too. I would like you to recommend me some webtoons too cause i am quite new to this 'world'
Nisekoi, Noblesse and dr frost Were also good.
In the end, thank you smile

Seconding Angel Diary, I remember that one being quite fun. ^^ Kara have a lovely art style. (On the other hand, Demon Diary was quite... eh.)

Anyway, as for webtoons, I'd recommend Crepuscule (Yamchi) and Black Haze for nice, slower-paced fantasies. City of Dead Sorcerer is a good crime/fantasy thriller, though lately, it's been veering away from the crime element, unfortunately. :/ Dice (YUN Hyunseok) (supernatural/urban fantasy) is pretty good, too, and is a bit of a social commentary on the importance of external strength and beauty, if you like some sociology with your manga. xD Stalker and Nowhere Boy are heavier but equally enjoyable webtoons, and the latter is actually pretty hilarious in the beginning. (Unfortunately, they haven't been scanlated recently.)

There are loads of others on my wishlist that I haven't gotten around to yet. Apparently, I'm on a fantasy binge these days. dead

Here's a few romance manhwas I can think of off the top of my head lol

Platina (KIM Yeon-Joo) (romantic drama + light fantasy)
Girl Queen (another romantic drama by same author + greater emphasis on fantasy/action)
Annarasumanara (light on the romance. anything by this author is A++)
I Wish... (cutesy romantic drama + supernatural)
Arcana (verrrry angsty/whiny/melodramatic fantasy. the sudden shift in tone mid-story is reminiscent to that of Vampire Knight :/ but it wasn't as annoying in Arcana)
Paran Majang Diary (fmc becomes mired in some human lookin' alien prince's life)
Wa! (same author as above, FMC falls in love with celeb, drama ensues)
