- 4 Peninsula: My Wife Is the President 半岛:我的老婆是社长 I was reborn as the youngest grandson of H Country's real-estate king. I had planned to enjoy the happy life of a chaebol heir, but instead I was forced to go on blind dates and get married. Since I have to go on a blind date and get married anyway, I might as well find a beautiful heiress instead of an ugly chaebol daughter. Since I am looking for a wealthy young lady, it would be even better if she were clever and quick-witted, sweet and cool, willing to leave my private life alone, and had an 0Votes7.5kRecs37.5kFans

Just then, laughter came from behind him. “Oppa, when are you going to do something bad?

Korean Entertainment and Other Books I Like

Korean Entertainment: Great Completed Reads and Ongoing Series
I've been reading Korean entertainment-industry novels for nearly ten years, and I feel like there are so few good ones these days. (Most authors don't pay much attention to career storylines, which take more effort to write. Instead, the characters start dating right away.)

That said, I might still add a few good Korean enter
