100 days of love (13 Volume) ***1/2

It's been a one whole year since Lia died and went to heaven, and the archangels are concerned about their new angel-in-training. Unlike everyone else in the afterlife, Lia can't forget her life back on Earth, especially her boyfriend Ji-Hwan. Archangel Gabriel is especially distressed, as he sees so much potential in the pure yet strong Lia. Continually failing the angel qualification tests, Lia leads an unusually unhappy afterlife in heaven. That is, until Lia finds out that Ji-Hwan's life will end within 100 days! While she desperately wants to talk to Ji-Hwan again, she definitely does not want him to have such a short life on Earth like she had. After begging and pleading, Lia is allowed to go back on Earth and possess a body of a girl who is in coma after attempting to commit suicide along with Jin as her bodyguard. Time is running out, and Lia must save Ji-Hwan from the grim reaper at every corner while resisting the temptation to let Ji-Hwan know that she is Lia.

A Tackle on My life (14 Volume) *****

Once upon a time, there were 10 beautiful little children who lived in a hell on Earth. Orchis, Plum Blossom, Chrysanthemum, Bamboo, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Rose of Sharon, Lily, and Pansy decided to escape one winter night, but they had to leave Rose behind - Rose was a crybaby and would have woken their Master. The nine children so ran, ran far away from their living hell and began to build what life they could piece together...

Mia is a teenage girl who leads a strange double life - she is one of the most talented and daring member of a criminal organization, while keeping up a facade of "Garam" in a local high school in order to maintain a low-profile fallback alias should something go wrong. She had so far been successful; making more money than a normal girls her age can't even dream of while maintaining her composure at the high school to the point that no one even notices that she is there. Mia is then given a new, lucrative assignment that seems a bit unusual. Mia's long-lost twin sister, also named Garam, had been killed in an accident, and Garam's boyfriend, Kang, wants Mia to get to know Mia and Garam's mother, who had left Mia with Mia's irresponsible father when she was a baby. Mia doesn't want anything to do with her mother, who she holds responsible for her nightmarish past, but agrees to spend time with Kang for the lucrative contract. What will Mia do, then, when her past finally catches up with her? The nightmare... and the guilt.

(Note: This is arguably Hwang Mi Ri's darkest work. Yes, darker and better than Love SOS)

Crab Kiss (10 volumes) ***

Although Hye-Bin was smart enough to get into a prestigious private academy, her life has been marred by the fact that her mother used to be a famous porno actress. Having led a difficult life so far, Hye-Bin refuses to just sit there and take it, and no one who knows the secret about her now-legitimate-actress mother dare say anything about it. But Hye-Bin's one true purpose of coming to this academy was to find her childhood friend and love, Ryul, who had given her first kiss when they were little. Having seen Ryul declare on TV shows after becoming a child star that he was still waiting for Hye-Bin, she had been dreaming for this reunion ever since. But something is wrong with Ryul. The warm, friendly kid she remembers had been replaced by a cold, indifferent boy who is seemingly obsessed with the beautiful president of the art club. Worse, there seems to be a more complicated situation underneath as Hye-Bin realizes that she has entangled herself into something much more complex than she could imagine. Everyone wants to use Hye-Bin as their pawn in the game, but she won't have any of it!

The Invincible Girl From Yanbian (12 Volumes) *****

After losing her entire family to a mysterious fire, Soon-Doong refuses to wallow in sadness and decides to move to South Korea from her native Yanbian to find herself a new and better life. Holding nothing but a plane ticket to Korea, a small package of clothes, and a half-burnt letter between her grandfather and a "textile factory owner" in Seoul (who were good friends), she resolves to find a job at the factory and make a decent, honest living. Only, the "textile factory owner" just happens to be the CEO of the biggest clothing brand in the country, and her grandfather wasn't just a good friend with the "textile factory owner" - he had saved the CEO's life and lent him the money to start the business that he has today! And so begins Soon-Doong's life in Korea, as she shatters everyone's bigoted prejudice against ethnic Koreans who came from Yanbian and makes everyone rethink about their own values and lifestyles.

(Note: Funniest Hwang Mi Ri work to date)
