In this episode which marks Daeryun's 10th musing, he talks about his love for Webtoons, an art form with sales of over 2 Billion USD that began in Korea. Webtoons are viewed by all generations in Korea (for many almost daily) and act as a source material for popular K-Drama, OTT series and movies like Itaewon Class, True Beauty and Marry My Husband. Daeryun explains the history of Webtoons and cites problems experienced in the industry. Daeryun argues that Webtoons, when executed well, can be better than films or novels since they combine the best from both. He introduces three Webtoon series less known outside of Korea: (1) Sound of my heart, (2) Report from a women public bath, and (3) Oh, I left my wallet with links to the episodes mentioned.
