Preliminary (44/77 chp)
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.
