Killer Crush is the best BL webtoon you've never read. The premise is basic but interesting: what if a killer fell in love with an actor? It's simple, it's precise, it does not do the webtoon justice.

Within the 44 chapters I have so far read, the premise has been built up. With a romance that has chemistry, circumstances that allow for humour and complex character dynamics this webtoon is brilliant. The art is fairly standard and the translation of early chapters is abysmal, which probably puts prospective readers off. However, if you can ignore these gripes the webtoon is very entertaining and perfectly dramatic.

The romance ... at first seems simplistic. A man who is trying to hide his profession from a cheerful and energetic man. A lot of romcoms with this type of premise would not delve any deeper into the characters presented. The strength of this webtoon is that it does not unbalance the romance by only showing the perspective of the hitman. Rather than leaving the actor as fawned at and absolutely perfect, the flaws of both are displayed to the reader. This allows character dynamics through onlookers from both sides to shine through and affect the lives of the main characters, creating believable tensions and issues.

As this webtoon currently stands, I would highly recommend it.

I didn't expect to like this so much!

This is one of the best BL manhwa I have read in recent times! Just, wow.
The characters are some of the strongest aspects, which is likely one of the reasons why I enjoy it.

Our main characters are, of course...
Taeman - Professional Killer who got bit by the love bug after seeing Dahyuk, a professional actor in his job as a retail worker.
Daehyuk - A professional actor who's tired of only doing romance and similar movies and wants to branch out to Noir films, since ... it's one of his passions. He meets Taeman and only wants to talk with him because he would fit right into that film setting unlike him.. until some feelings come in!

The side characters are delightful as well. There's enough romance and chemistry with the two main leads to make you want to root for them being together, as well as the underlying plot being intriguing and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

It's refreshing to see a healthy relationship in recent BL manhwa-- especially when one of the main leads is a KILLER for gods sake! Most BL Manhwa I read now are just BORING, TOXIC, Or JUST PORN. This is none of those! It's refreshing, and it's /ACTUALLY/ funny as well.

I recommend 100%
