Artist Shares Her Daily Life With Her Husband And The Challenges They Face Through These Comics
"Being a storyteller has stuck with me as one of my oldest dreams"
A 28-year-old artist turned her everyday marriage into a comic series, and honestly, it’s the kind of sweet-but-chaotic love story you can binge. Her panels start with the small stuff, morning plans, a “lift ritual,” and those little “good things” moments that somehow turn into full-on relationship episodes.
But the real plot twist is the life behind the drawings. She’s an international student in Australia, and meeting her future husband at university came with its own hurdles. Korean and Australian, different routines, different backgrounds, and a million chances to misunderstand each other, even when they’re trying to be adorable. Throw in gaming, homebody comfort, and the constant pressure of planning each panel, and suddenly love looks like a daily speedrun.
Now the question is how she keeps the romance funny, honest, and still very, very real.

Right after those morning plans and the “lift ritual” jokes, you can feel how her daily life is already split between comfort at home and the stress of being far from everything familiar.</p>
I found that art is something that connects people's minds beyond borders. I could relate to and feel connected with people by focusing on my art even before I learned how to speak English. And funnily enough, the second thing that connects people is gaming, haha. I always enjoyed staying at home and focusing on my own thing; as I work from home, I tend to play at home.

That’s when the university meet-cute turns into the main storyline, with her Korean-Australian relationship challenges showing up everywhere, even in the way she writes love like a game.</p>
Then the panels start stacking up, from “Language Of Love” and “Kimchi Love” to the scary-cat moments and the real-life proposal, proving that even the cuddliest scenes come with plot.</p>
And once friends and family start previewing her work, plus she reads comments panel by panel, her instincts win more often, because she’d rather miss the target honestly than chase the crowd.</p>
The artist says that her husband has become a significant part of her life now. She also added:
Being an international student in Australia has never been easy for me, but I did get to meet my future partner at university. Yes, it’s one of those cheesy ways to describe ‘love.’ We are very different in many ways yet so similar in others. The fact that I’m Korean and he’s Australian definitely presented us with many challenges to overcome, but it also provided me with so many fun moments I’d never experienced before. There’s a whole dramatic, happy-ending love story about us that I hope to turn into a comic one day.18. Dress Up Therapy

The artist says that having friends and family take a quick look at her work and planning each panel in advance certainly helps! She always reads comments in an effort to learn, and it frequently surprises her which points the community agrees with.
This has made it easier for her to follow her instincts rather than worry too much about pleasing the crowd because she understands that if she's going to miss the target, it's better to have done it honestly.
Her comics make it look like love is just another quest, and this time, the couple actually clears it.
