The Lady and Her Butler

Description

The last thing Sooha wants in her life is a man.
She's sick of her mother calling about boyfriend problems, of friends trying to set her up on dates, of girls waiting for their Prince Charming.
But when a broke and homeless man offers to keep a house in exchange for temporary housing, Sooha finds herself saying yes to a man for the first time in her life.
After all, who wouldn't want to come home to warm homemade dinners, clean sheets, and freshly ironed clothes?

good, but it should have ended about 30 chapters earlier

the final arc was pretty stupid. I liked this comic because none of the plot was caused by the main couple doing dumb unnecessarily dramatic shit to advance the storyline. whenever they had an issue, they would communicate and resolve it. this held true up until the last arc

wherein the male lead breaks his arm, and then sooha takes care of him, and then he gets mad because she's doing TOO much for him and making him feel useless, and instead of talking to her fucks off to his hometown, without telling her, and WITHOUT HIS PHONE OR HIS STUFF. so oc she tracks him down to give him his stuff back and also resolve things, and then he pretty much just ignores her while she awkwardly chills with his family. I get that he was doing all this shit because he was depressed, but taking it out on her and non-communicating and acting like an ass isn't okay. christ and sooha just takes it and they get back together after he apologizes a bit ahh wtf is this nonsense it was so good until this part

Actual human beings

by Utsukushii Yume

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

What stood out to me in this manga was how I found almost all of the characters annoying at least once. Not the over the top annoying either, it was the I love you mom, but right now you are acting a fool and getting on my nerves type of annoying. I consider this a good thing if done right. There were times I felt the annoyance dragged on a tad bit to long, but nothing here made me wish my eyes would fall out.

The pacing of the overall story and romance was good IMO as I prefer slow romances, it doesn't feel like it is dragging as most chapters were consistently laying the ground work for either the next chapter or an event coming soon. Couples fell in love because of a combination of little things, people cried, people got mad, everybody made at least one mistake, some parents were bad, some were good, people technically just acted like real people. It was nice.

If someone asked for a realistic, slow paced romance manga where the characters actually work to maintain their relationships, then I would recommend this to them.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend this slice of life, josie manhwa. I totally agree that it touched upon a lot of scenarios that we in real life go through; lots of real human emotions and reactions, and that's what makes it a gem. The last two arcs got us at the edge of the seat, but I'm so happy to see justice served. My favorite arc was probably the first arc. It was a slow buildup, and I think that's what I appreciate about; it was realistic. It was just heartwarming!

Worth reading

I agree with @Day Dreamer that this webtoon subverts some basic comic tropes- mainly that any ML with good physique and tattoos is a badboy and that every FL falls into insta-luuurve with the ML or blushes the moment she sees a handsome guy! The romance is not insta (thankgod!) and there is asome character growth. Also, the drama is fairly realistic

At least for now, there isn't any of that "stalker Ex" or "you talking to a member of the opposite sex makes me soooooo jealousssss"

If you have gotten bored of overly Alpha MLs(the GQ magazine like guys doing a kabedon and telling the FL "you are mine" followed by a rapey situation) and those naive (a.k.a stupid) FLs then do give this comic a shot!

"Thing is I'm really very particular when I read romances and I get real excited if the story and story-telling is good, and undeniably frustrated if the story is good at the beginning but drags itself to the ground as it goes. The Lady and her Butler falls in the first category. I never expected that I'd really enjoy reading it since the FMC is the common 'I'm not interested in love' kinda heroine but then the MMC comes into her life thanks to a housing scam, and after he's begged her to let him stay at her apartment by allowing him to be her housekeeper, things take off from there.

The pacing is what I really appreciate because every chapter shows neat progress whether on the plot or the characters themselves which is very rewarding. The romance that develop doesn't feel forced, and I'm pleased not to see the author trying to drag the story to kami-knows-where using cliché stuff like the FMC's past to halt some budding romance which is common to romances with this kind of FMC. It's still ongoing, and the recent happenings are a little too dramatic for me but I'm eager to see how the story goes."

Subverts Tropes

by Day Dreamer

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I absolutely adore this manga. It has two strong, independent protagonists who are genuine, ambitious, and hardworking. But they also have vulnerabilities that humanize them.

One of the reasons this webcomic intrigues me is because it subverts the masculine and feminine tropes we see so often in manga.

Sooha is incredibly strong-willed, ambitious, and outspoken. She isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and although she can be rude sometimes, her heart is in the right place. She has principles that she lives by. Taesoo on the other hand, is a soft-spoken, vulnerable homebody who enjoys graphic design and cooking.

The first few chapters do a decent job of illustrating the demons that both Sooha and Taesoo will eventually have to overcome. Both have somewhat lost their trust in people, and one can argue Sooha is a little more extreme in regards to her perspective of relationships.

Overall this is shaping up to be a warm-hearted, slow burn, slice-of-life webcomic. So if you enjoy these types of stories, definitely give it a try!

Working Life drama or not?

It's been awhile since I've read a josei webtoon but this comic has a lot of potential based off the art and writing so far. I'm just hoping it won't turn into loldrama in the next few chapters since it would derail the SoL plot and how calm everyone is from the intro.

Also, could this be the fabled asexual MC I've been searching for after all these years?! I doubt it but still it's better than nothing.
