In case you were wondering, “unnie” in Korean means “older sister” in Korean and is used by younger females to refer to older females with whom they have a close or familiar relationship. It reflects both respect and intimacy in social interactions. It is also commonly used in lesbian relationships as a term of intimacy and affection. Unnie, I Like You features many common tropes in Korean manhwa: past lives, reincarnation, romantic melodrama of the type expected in Western romance novels like Mills & Boon and Harlequin romances, but dialled to 11 in that special Korean way, only in this instance it’s a Girls Love story. If this is the type of story you like, it’s exactly what you’ll be hoping for.

Unnie, I Like You debuted in June 2024 on the WEBTOON app and currently features more than 60 episodes.
