Based on the Naver webtoon Annarasumanara by Ha Il-kwon, the show tells the truly whimsical story of a poor schoolgirl Ah-yi, who wants to grow up faster and meets a childlike magician Ri Eul, who makes her believe that there is something magical in every single life, even if her own seems miserable at the time.

2. Our Beloved Summer (2021)

In this case, the webtoon does not follow the plot of the show but focuses on the past. It follows the high school days of the two main characters, Choi Ung and Kook Yeon-soo, who find their way back 10 years after they broke up and promised never to see each other again. Both the drama and the webtoon are beautifully romantic and well worth a watch.
