Act Like You Love Me!, Vol. 1

For fans of captivating art and contemporary romances like Chasing Red and Freaking Romance, this debut South Korean graphic novel is perfect for fans of workplace romance and boss romance dynamics.

After Ji-eon finds a doll that can control her celebrity boss Dohyun, power dynamics shift—now it’s her turn to be in charge.

After a mix-up at a broadcasting studio she finds herself spending the day as the personal assistant for the famous actor Doyun Nam—and quickly lands herself into even more trouble at work. 

Yet another miserable day of taking orders from others only to face ruthless criticism, and Ji-eon is left frustrated by her own passivity. But most of all, she blames Doyun, the stuck-up celebrity who she spent the day waiting on hand and foot.

With a dwindling bank account and loss of dignity to match, she lets out her stress on a plush toy. It isn’t long before she realizes its magical ability: the doll can control Doyun. 

With the power now in her hands for the very first time, Ji-eon gets a taste of what it’s like to finally be the boss. But with power comes responsibility—and consequences.

And with a slow-burn romance developing with Doyun, Ji-eon must decide what she truly wants for her future.
