Romance Papa

Description

From NetComics:
Sangbum, a misogynistic and germophobic (that is, mysophobic) plastic surgeon, is shocked to discover that the sperm he donated when he was a medical student has produced a 13-year-old daughter named Myunghae!

Myunghae's other parents were killed in an accident, so she is suddenly dropped into her biological father's life. Sangbum is unprepared for the responsibility of fatherhood, but he quickly learns to love the daughter who looks so much like him.

In the midst of her happy new life with Sangbum, however, Myunghae is shocked to find out that her boyfriend Hyunjoon is going out with her best friend Mijoo. The truth is that Hyunjoon and Mijoo just wanted to teach Myunghae a lesson, but unexpected feelings are growing between them. Meanwhile, a popular student named Donghui is attracted to Myunghae.

With so many changes in their lives in so little time, how will the new, small family of two cope?

Genuine humour

by Meilee123

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This manhwa is genuinely funny. Has good development and overall a very nice read. I like the way the scanlators translated it. They did a good job with the slang and in general too.
The pacing was slow though, to encorporate the humour. I might have dropped it at some point if I had put it down. I didnt like how it was sequenced though. It was like 45% flashbacks which is too high. The story itself didnt have any meaning except to value your family. But it seemed kinda meaningless overall.
I had a problem with how unrealistic this is though. Shojo is usually unrealistic but this has taken it further than I have ever seen. Myunghae becomes rich and is surrounded by nice-looking people. I had a problem with how much this emphasizes material desires. Not that shojo manga generally doesnt but it felt like a third of the manhwa was dedicated to talking about how rich people were and how good-looking people are and how ideal everything is. So it didnt seem realistic. Myunghae didnt even go through that many trials. It was refreshing though in that this manhwa was so ideal that there were no ridiculous annoying people and ridiculous overbearing misunderstandings that came in between the couple. Might I add that Myunghae was an annoying MC indeed.
Also everyone is really young. Like all the relationships were developed in elementary school?!
The author did that on purpose with some slogan like relationships are purest at this age. I dont agree with that. That made the whole thing more unrealistic and this doesnt happen in real life. Actually, I heard something like university is where you make your life long friends and personally, I feel like my best friends are from secondary school.

This was seriously good! Sure, the MC was annoying but dang, this is good manhwa. It gets better, I swear. The development of the characters, I love it. You'll end this story feeling happy and hating no one. Do try it for yourselves. This one's definitely going to my favorite lists!

Super adorable!!!

I'm jealous of this girl!!! She's got the perfect dad, boyfriend, friends, personality, and life. LOL. And she's not really that annoying at all! Rather, I burst out laughing on multiple occassions because GOD I SWEAR I've done some of the exact same stupid things as she did (* getting my head stuck between poles*) HA HA HA

This girl is golden. And her dynamic relationship with her dad is super cute too!

(she starts out as a really annoying character in the first few chapters, but you gotta look past that to see the character development!)

For those who think the female protagonist is annoying: Don't judge her too quickly, because she does change. They have to have room for character growth later on in any story, after all. So don't be disappointed too fast. Though this story has a lot of comedy, there are some surprisingly very realistic truths and advice about life woven into it. It's a story that will lighten your mood, with an entertaining plot that would make you laugh when you least expect to. I highly recommend this manhwa to those who love stories like this one!

Loved it. This was the cutest father daughter series I've ever read. I found myself being so jealous of their relationship. I wouldn't say I'm a carbon copy of my father, but I look just like him as well and our relationship is light years away from from Sangbum and Myunghae's.

Anyways the art was amazing, the story and characters were all good. I thought the flow of the ending was a little off and that things should've maybe ended a little differently for "papa", but it was still pretty good. And couldn't Myunghae's attitude change even a little bit? She's so not honest lol

I cannot believe how incredibly annoying this was. I really liked the sound of the plot and I quite liked the father character but that daughter was too annoying to follow. I couldn't read past the second chapter because she started a fight over some guy and it was soo pathetic and she was soo pathetic and no I can't read a manga with that kind of heroine.
It's a shame because the manga had potential and it may have got better.

not bad

Art: I thought it was pretty good. Although it's obvious that it's old, it reminds me of Snow Drop in volumes 1-4. It's seriously not bad at all (the cover got me hesitating at first to be honest) and i'm really picky when it comes to art too.
Plot: interesting! got me hooked at first and it's just a very heartwarming manga
Issues&&Ending:

I was really bothered by the main character. She's so heartless and evil! Like, i love how she's a strong female lead but i just wish she would show more affection towards HER BOYFRIEND and not just her dad. She just seemed a little too bossy and mean rather than strong and caring. The ending was alright but it wasn't all that great to be honest. It's like one of those "alright, so this is how its gonna be from now on. Our days will continue like this" ending with them walking in the street together && final words "with a decent boyfriend and the coolest dad ever!" FINISH. lol.

Good Read

by Tyriel

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The title and the description did not appeal to me at first, but then, I saw the comments and decided to give it a try... I'm glad I did it.

It was a good story, I found it well balanced in every area, not overly dramatic nor overly optimistic... I found it refreshing and I liked the main female character Myunghae. I think that it's thanks to her that I did not find it boring (without her it would have been boring). She's not weak and idiotic.

In short I liked it very much, I don't feel like I wasted my time reading it ^^ I'll recommend it if you are looking for a distracting and good story.

this Manhwa was one of the best i have ever read. it was perfect not a thing missing. and i also thought at the begining that the name was misleading, but it got clearer later, cause she kinda had a father complex... 🙂
well i have nothing more to say the rating speaks for itself.......

firstly, the tittle can be quite misleading so i am saying this- THERE IS NO INCEST BETWEEN DAUGHTER AND FATHER!- with that said all thats left is that if you have not read this manhwa then "wait are you waiting for?!?! pick it up and read it!'' this story will make you an emotional chameleon ^^ but the downer is that the art is not quite consistant, some are very good the others...but the difference is not big ^^
