■ Plot

It’s hard dating someone who won’t give you the time of day. Su-ae Shim knows that better than anyone, having dated her indifferent boyfriend, Minu Kang, for years. She sometimes wishes she could be more like her charismatic stepsister, Ra-im, who seems to have it all. But life takes a turn for the weird when Su-ae discovers Jellypop, a sentient flip phone, in her locker. Jellypop has a lot to say about her love life, especially as Su-ae drifts further away from Minu and finds herself running into Minu’s friend, Eunhyeok. Add to the mix a growing suspicion that Minu and Ra-im might be more than friends, and Su-ae might need a miracle to navigate the ups and downs of high school romance!

I think I’m gonna go ahead and quit while I’m ahead. Season 1 was real fun but I think we’ve lost the plot. This just feels like true beauty now

MYYY cuties!!!!
the art is *cheffskiss*. ML is such a green flag. The awful red hair guy isn't!! Red flag material. The FL is sometimes a little oblivious but she's cool too.

chapter 129

Right, I think I’m gonna stop reading this now after the most recent chapter. You think you’ve been properly ragebaited before? You haven’t. this manhwa started off AMAZINGLY, but it seriously should’ve ended in season 1 or early season 2 because all it’s been doing thus far is deteriorate every time a new chapter drops. For a manhwa with such a cliche plot (not that that’s bad), it finds ways to rage bait you in ways that should be criminal. I seriously need to print out cardboard cut outs of all the main characters and just beat the hell out of them. I’ve completely lost my enjoyment in reading this, because how do you manage to asssasinate a plot SO BAD. I KNOW that the author is just trying to satisfy Dohwa stans after depriving them of soohwa content for so long, which I can respect, but it also veers the story so sharply off it’s already deranged road that I can’t possibly envision an ending for this manhwa. It’s truly amazing, how they managed to make such a predictable plot THIS complicated. there was an interesting, mysterious storyline, but it was neglected to turn this into some sort of deranged love triangle with unnecessary angst and fan service to keep readers engaged. honestly, I MIGHT end up coming back to this if eunhyuk explains himself, but my patience has run out for now. sooae, I love u girl. Raim, KYS (…keep yourself safe). dohwa, go away man (I don’t hate you). eunhyuk, fly away and don’t come back (it’s for your own good brotha). So, I guess I’m NOT taking otl into 2026 (unless something MIRACULOUS happens next chapter) #newyearnewme #freenow

Mi debate está entre si Dohwa debería ser el endgame o no… tal vez Sooae debería quedarse con Eunhyuk y ya, con lo bien que iba la historia (un triángulo amoroso adolescente) y ponen un timeskip, es acaso esto otro true beauty??? Acaben con mi sufrimiento y que los personajes vuelvan a la escuela

Pd: Team Dohwa por siempre 🫰

[فاطمة هشام]

الحقيقة ورغم كل العك اللي قاعد يحصل في الموسم الجديد بس أنا بحبه موووت بجد و اللحظات الصغيرة اللي فيه اللي تحمل الكثير والكثير والكثير بجد. أتمنى الموسم ده ينتهي جيدًا لأننا فقدنا كل حاجة.

« 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐚 𝐯𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐞, 𝐜𝐞 𝐧’𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐪𝐮’𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐪𝐮’𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐯𝐫𝐚 𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫. »


Ce webtoon est la définition même de la 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐮𝐫 et de la mignonnerie. Je suis heureuse d’avoir découvert ce genre de lecture 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.

L’intrigue tourne principalement autour de la romance et pour une amoureuse de romance j’ai été servi. Les personnages sont tous tellement mignons et attachants sauf quelques-uns que je ne supporte pas malgré mes tentatives de compréhension… 👀

J’avais peur du côté « triangle amoureux » de l’histoire car je n’aime pas du tout ça mais ici le triangle est léger et vous verrez que 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐬𝐞́ et légèrement addictif.

C’est vraiment un webtoon que je conseille à tout le monde et je vais même le faire lire à ma petite sœur de 14 ans qui je suis sûre aimera beaucoup! ✨

[Kozume · Rating 5 out of 5]

Operation: True Love is way more than just another high school romance—it’s a heartfelt and sometimes painful exploration of love, self-worth, and finding the courage to walk away from what doesn’t serve you.

The story follows Su-ae, a girl who’s been stuck in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend for years. She’s constantly overlooked, mistreated, and undervalued, yet she stays because she doesn’t know her own worth. Everything changes when she stumbles across a mysterious “Love Alarm”-like device that begins revealing the truth about her relationship and her future. This sets Su-ae on a journey not just of romance, but of self-discovery.

What really struck me is how real the emotional beats feel. The manhwa doesn’t shy away from showing the messiness of young love—the insecurity, the jealousy, the longing to be chosen, and the heartbreak of realizing you deserve more. Su-ae’s growth is the highlight of the series: watching her gradually gain confidence, find her voice, and step into healthier relationships is both empowering and relatable.

The artwork is gorgeous, with expressive faces and a pastel aesthetic that makes even the saddest moments feel beautiful. The side characters are also well-written, adding layers of friendship, support, and rivalries that keep the story engaging. And of course, the love interests bring plenty of tension, sweetness, and those fluttery “heart-skip” moments that make romance manhwa so addictive.

Final thoughts: Operation: True Love is a powerful blend of romance and self-growth. It’s emotional, inspiring, and unafraid to challenge toxic dynamics while still delivering swoon-worthy moments. A must-read for anyone who loves romance with depth and heart. Easily a 5/5 for me.

Web-Manwha chapter 1-12 //

The start was a bit bumpy. 😅 nearly cancelled it, because Su-Ae sometimes is a little annoying. At first, I didn't understand why the FL wasn't doing anything about the cheating. It get’s more understandable later on, though. Besides, she's so clumsy. Eunhyok, on the other hand, is a profound and intriguing ML. Dohwa is interesting; I'm curious to see how he develops. It's already pretty clear where the story is headed. I really hope it doesn't get too cringeworthy with the two MLs. I find Su-Ae's sister, Ra-Im, very well-written and a good addition to the romance aspect. However, I don't think the storyline with the mysterious cell phone is necessary. The story doesn't benefit from it.

Art style is little Basic sometimes. There are keyframes that are very well drawn, but overall it’s a little stiff. Let’s see if this will get better with time. But, in all of that, it’s released on a weekly (I think) Basis in full colour, so it’s a lot of work!!

Overall okayish start, story gets better later on.

J'utilise Google Traduction pour écrire ceci juste pour être plus précis, car je n'ai pas trouvé la version anglaise à relire et je suis trop fatiguée pour essayer de mettre mes cours de français en pratique en ce moment, alors veuillez excuser les erreurs. Bref, je ne sais pas jusqu'où va le premier chapitre puisque je lis sur l'application webtoon, donc je vais juste parler du début de la saison 1. Je n'ai pas pu le supporter. Je pensais que l'intrigue allait être complètement différente, l'héroïne (je suis tellement nulle avec les noms, alors pardonnez-moi) me tapait vraiment sur les nerfs avec son manque d'estime d'elle-même. En fait, je détestais tout le monde sauf l'ami de son petit ami et ses amis, mais je commençais à m'énerver. J'ai dû laisser l'histoire mûrir et assez vite, j'ai fini par aimer le personnage principal. J'aimerais qu'une fille qui sort avec deux mecs soit plus acceptable, parce que je ne peux littéralement pas choisir avec qui je la préfère.

Temporada 1 acabada i quina muntanya russa d'emocions!!! Crec que quan surti la segona temporada faré una relectura de la primera perquè hi ha un munt d'anades i vingudes, triangles amorosos, relacions tòxiques o de pura façana per treure'n un benefici personal, intervencions divines, referències a la Rosa de Versalles... En fi, que té una trama enrevessada i el format setmanal a mi m'ha descol·locat una mica. D'altra banda, les il·lustracions van cada cop a millor, ben expressives i captivadores, amb dosis d'humor justes quan cal. Penso que seria un gran hit si es publiqués a paper perquè és una història molt completa i addictiva. Li seguirem la pista! ♥

[just_another_review · Rating 4 out of 5]

OK, la primera temporada estuvo cool, lit estoy leyendo como desde que existia el cap 20, tuve una pausa y cuando vi que ibamos en la 2da temporada dije << OK, hora de leer>>

Que les puedo decir, yo AMO un buen triangulo amoroso pero uff aqui me esta costando ya que ambos personajes son demasiado buenos y lamentablemente siento que esta tomando True Beauty vibes, que hey no esta mal pero pues la trama original fue perdiendo fuerza y nos estamos olvidando de lo interesante para dejar solo el drama amoroso


Obviamente que voy a seguir leyendo y esperare pacientemente nuevos capitulos

Solo ruego que no me hagan una jugada de Seojun (True Beauty References)

[Manon EMILE · Rating 4 out of 5]

Je l'ai lu y'a pas très longtemps mais juste pour dire, je l'ai lu en 30min chrono en main. Je l'ai clairement mangé, les illustrations sont incroyables, c'est grave mon style de "dessin" et les personnages principaux sont super beaux. Svp par contre euh la go principale, ma chérie lève toi. J'aime bien comment (sohae?) elle est écrit, mais à des moments je ne pouvais pas me la voir parce qu'elle laisse passer trop de choses pour cet homme. Ce pouilleux là. Elle a l'air juste bête à laisser son boug l'a tromper et rien dire. Eunhyeok ? Très beau, très miam, j'aime. Tous très beau, j'ai kiffé mais juste pour le raigebait je mets 4/5.

Quedé remotamente fascinada tanto el extraño inicio de historia como las ilustraciones DIOSss son hermosísimas, me identifico totalmente con la prota siento que es tan real LA AMO. Y ni hablaaar de Go Eunhyuk AAAAAHHH MI DEBILIDAD SIEMPRE VAN A SER LOS FKN PELINEGROS CON AURA DE MALOTE MISTERIOSO 🙏🏻⭐️🌸😍🎀💕totalmente feeling in love Y SIEMPRE ACEPTARÉ UNA BUENA PROPAGANDA DE TRIANGULO AMOROSO más si de verdad da competencia y no simplemente es relleno porque SIGO EN CONFONTACIÓN DE QUE TEAM SER 😭 Dohwa me da tanta ternura.

[Erika Dayana Moreno Lopez · Rating 4 out of 5]

No se cómo explicar como es que está historia me atrapó, porque es realmente cliché, pero me gusta mucho la verdad, un poco infantil al inicio pero como van construyendo la historia y como poco a poco se va volviendo menos infantil todo, me va gustando, tengo demasiadas ganas de continuar el siguiente.

[Shareen Khan · Rating 1 out of 5]

harddddd dnf; the love triangle trope & cheating trope; miscommunications, i just can't.

1/5 stars; only because individually, each character has their moments and strengths, but when they’re all together, I do not favour the personality traits that come to the surface when they interact with one another.

[Lucie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quel plaisir de retrouver ces personnages que j’aime tant 🥹 le webtoon fait partie de mes romances préférées, et ça me rend tellement heureuse de replonger dans cette histoire au format papier !
Hâte de (re)lire la suite 🩷✨

[Cecilia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not sure which chapters this goes to so my review is to chapter 50.

I actually really enjoyed this. Sue-ae's obliviousness and the decisions she made drove me crazy but I really got invested in the characters. I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 because I don't really care for the point aspect
