Right now, I'm just mass-reviewing all the manga I've read recently because I drank a can of Yerba Mate and I've got some time in between my classes. Honestly I haven't had a whole lot of time to just sit down and not think, even when I get into bed I'm still thinking and it's hard to numb the mind sometimes to just not think. Yikes. But that's why fluffy manga exists right? To help numb the mind and bring some happiness.
{Spoilers, except it's pretty fluffy so you already know}
Honestly, there's not a whole lot of deep drama in this Webtoon. It's there, and it's borderline undeveloped/not deep enough for me, but because of the color palette and the general mood and tone of the Webtoon it really fits. It didn't take itself overly seriously and give us some sort of shockingly dark secret. The love triangle wasn't too over the top. The characters all melded together really nicely in a natural web of relationships and links to one another. Everyone's motivations were perfectly clear, coherent, and consistent. There are honestly no complaints.
The Webtoon itself revolves around a local business called Evergreen Tea Shop. It follows the lives of the daughter of the shop and her friends in a very enhanced version of slice of life I would say. It's got just enough drama to keep you entertained with like who's going to end up dating who and will the owner of the tea shop end up with the coffee shop owner across the street and little things like that. But it was never over the top. Even when the tea shop owner had an accident that was totally kdrama-esque, it didn't make me go "oh my god this is stupid and unnecessary." It was intentional to let him say goodbye to his wife and find a new love. It was really touching actually.
As you can see, this was a pretty soft Webtoon. There's not a whole lot more to say because it really was just stripped back in terms of drama for the most part. Maybe it'll be a bit too mild if you like really spicy manga, but I think it was good. Good for the soul, you know?
