Meet Cute turns 만화 into immersive audio stories and we want more!
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know how much I love 만화’s. From the art to the stories, they are all different and compelling. And so many of the ones I have loved have been adapted to live action dramas which is an added bonus. But what if you’re at work and can’t scroll or have the show on? What if you want to avoid a screen? What if all you want to do is tune out the real world? Cue: Meet Cute.
Meet Cute is your new screen free way to enjoy the stories you love anytime and anywhere. A fiction podcast that every month launches 90-120 minute stories, mainly romances and its many sub genres, by releasing short 10–15 minute episodes on Tuesdays and Fridays. They already have an amazing library of stories, but they just announced an exciting new partnership.
They teamed up with Manta, a large 만화 website that has published some of my favorite 만화’s, (Semantic Error (시맨틱 에러 – simaentig eleo) and Once Upon A Small Town (어쩌다 전원일기- eojjeoda jeon-won-ilgi) to name a couple.) to release I’VE BECOME A TRUE VILANESS.
The story follows a graduate student who wakes up in someone else’s body. But not just any body, Seria Stern, the villain of a romance novel the graduate had been reading. She doesn’t want to be the villain and she tries everything in her power to stop it from happening. *Insert dramatic theme music.*
I was able to have an early listen to the story and let me tell you, it was captivating. The voice actors really sold me on their emotions and even their actions, which I have always found hard to convey in an only audio setting. They made it flawless and held my attention throughout the entire series. I was hooked by the first episode and was sad to hear it end by the last.
I want this to be the way I consume more of my romance. It is the perfect way to let the world and characters build themselves the way YOU want to see them. The listener has that creative freedom unlike normal 만화, TV and movies and I think that was one of the most fun aspects of this for me as an author.
When I write I create my vision of people, places, and things. The reader does the same. These fictional podcast stories offer that same freedom and I LOVE IT!
If you’re looking for a way to unplug, but not totally, I highly suggest checking out Meet Cute and their latest story I’VE BECOME A TRUE VILANESS.
