I guess all of you love Manhwa, right? Well! If you are a newbie and know nothing about manhwa, I’ll tell you a bit about them. Manhwa are South-Korean colored manga. Most peeps just don’t give them a try. But, I can assure you that they are missing out a lot.

Some of the most famous manhwa include Solo Leveling, Tower of God, God of Highschool, and Return of the Legend. In this blog, we will be talking about manhwa like Return of the Legend. Return of the Legend follows the story of a guy named Jang Taesan. Jang was leading a normal life until his company went bankrupt and he became unemployed. 

After this, he died saving a child. Wha!t? He died!? Well! He was revived, but he went back in time. Yess! He was revived 14 years back in time. Now, he can relive his life.

Let’s just start the blog, shall we?

Well! The plot of this manhwa is pretty unique. I’ll tell you a thing about myself. I’m a huge fan of unique manga/manhwa. And this manhwa falls right into that category. 

It follows the story of a girl named Sera. The story can get a bit complicated, lol! Sera did not like her groom, so she ran away with the help of an old friend named Goan. Her groom’s name was Jiho. Well! Everything seems good, right?

But, this is a manhwa. Something has to happen. After some time, Sera wishes to go back in time. And guess what? Her wish came true. The most interesting thing here is that Jiho is her classmate from the past, lol!

The only thing that is common between this manhwa and the return of the legend is the reincarnation.

Another unique manhwa on this list is Goodbye, In Law. The title itself is pretty unique, lol!

Well! The thing that allows this manhwa a spot on this list is the factor of reincarnation back in time. However, the MCs of this show did not die. They simply reincarnated during their sleep.

This manhwa follows the story of two teenagers named Haneul and Dahae. Both of them hated each other during their teenage years. After graduation, they thought that they would never meet again. However, they had to see each other again as their siblings were getting married to each other.

But, an accident took place during the wedding and both of their siblings died. After this, Dahae and Haneul woke up during their teenage years. At that time, their siblings were still alive. Can they save them?

Most of the manhwa these days have pretty long titles, right? This manhwa is also one of them.

It follows the story of a guy named Kang Hyeonjun. Kang is your ordinary manhwa protagonist who is pretty weak in the beginning but becomes strong afterwards. Kang was betrayed by his teammates, and was even cheated on by his girlfriend. However, everything changes as he was offered training by a man who claimed to be him in his past life. Isn’t it too convenient? 

Well! This training is going to be pretty tough and harsh. Can he withstand it?

Like the MC of the Return of the Legend, the MC of this show faced a lot of difficulties. He was betrayed by the ones he trusted and his life was a total mess.

This list is just full of amazing manhwa lol! My Daughter is a Musical Genius follows the story of a guy named Sunhyun. Sunhyun loved his wife a lot. They even had a daughter. However, after the sudden death of his wife, he got depressed. This depression got even worse when his daughter died in a car accident. He tried to commit suicide. But, instead of dying, he got reincarnated back in time.

As he gets reincarnated, he discovers that his daughter is a musical genius. Sunhyun was also a huge fan of music. This changes everything, right?

The MC of this show reincarnated the same way as the MC of Return of the Legend. Both of them died and were reincarnated.

Well! Most of the manhwa on this list are about reliving your life. You won’t get such a chance in real life, so live your life to the fullest.

This manhwa follows the story of a guy named Jo Minjoon. Jo has a big dream. He wants to become a master chef. However, he started his career too late and is currently chopping onions at a restaurant. He wishes to go back in time so he can fulfill his dream. Well! It is not possible in real life, however, in a manhwa it is quite possible.

He meets a spirit who agrees to fulfill his wish. Can he become a master chef?

The things that make this manhwa and the Return of the Legend are reincarnated back in time and the fact that both the MCs failed in their first attempt at life.

The Goddess that brought him here promised his return. However, the next morning, he sees that his classmates aren’t there. He is all alone, surrounded by monsters. He was betrayed by the Goddess lol! Can he survive in this world? Can he get back home?

Baek lives in a world full of mysterious towers. Humans live inside these towers as everything else was destroyed. 

Those who have the ability to climb the tower are termed as Astra. Well! Our MC is kinda weak. However, everything changes as he gains the ability to recall all of his previous live’s memories. And guess what? In all three of his previous lives, he was an Astra. This changes everything, right?

Well! The MC of this manhwa and the Return of the Legend share a lot of similarities. Like Jang Taesan, Baek Homin was also pretty weak in the beginning.

However, as he is the MC, he gets reincarnated back in time. This time around, he promises to capture that leader and get his revenge. Can he do this? I’m sure he can. What do you guys think?

Ahhhhhh! This one has my heart. The MC of this show is just too good.

This manhwa follows the story of a teenager named Seo Hyunwoo. Seo has a big dream. He wants to become an Idol. He was just starting his career, but he was met with an accident and lost his beauty. Now, he has to work as an Idol trainer. Pretty sad, right?

However, everything changes as he gets reincarnated back in time after meeting another accident. Can he make his dream come true this time? 

Well! The major similarity between this manhwa and the return of the legend is the factor of death and reincarnation into the past.

15/20	8/10	9/10	8/10	40/50

A Man’s Man is another pretty unique manhwa on this list. I guess I’ve already told you that I’m a huge fan of unique manhwa. And this manhwa falls right into that category.

I don’t want to spoil this manhwa. Still, Imma tell you a little. The plot revolves around a guy named Yuhyeon. Yuhyeon became the president of an electronics company named Hansung. This company was very successful. The only drawback was that the environment of this company wasn’t that good. It was pretty toxic.

Yuhyeon decides to change it all with his skill and expertise. But, he doesn’t know how this will affect his future. Interesting, right?

Just like the MC of Return of the Legend, the MC of this show is pretty competent and intelligent. However, both the MCs were a failure in their previous life. Their true abilities shone after their reincarnation.

 

04- The Tax Reaper

Similarity	Character	Plot	Art	Total
16/20	8/10	9/10	8/10	41/50

The MC of this show has one of the most unique abilities I’ve seen. This manhwa follows the story of a tax collector named Jaehyeon Shin. Shin has a unique ability. He has the ability to see the amount of unpaid taxes. Quite convenient, right? 

Well! This ability backfired as he was called a traitor for capturing a member of his company. And guess what? He decides to get revenge by working for the government and finding all of the evil criminals. 

Can he do it? I’m sure he can. Jaehyeon Shin is pretty smart and competent like the MC of Return of the Legend. Both of them are loyal towards their duties. I really like this quality in them.

 

03- Medical Return

15/20	9/10	8/10	9/10	41/50

I really love this manhwa as I am also a medical student. This plot is pretty interesting, and the characters are just too good.

This story of this manhwa revolves around a guy named Kim Jihyun. Kim worked really hard to become a surgeon. However, he was not meant for surgery and earned a pretty bad reputation. But, everything changes as he gets another chance to relive his life. 

This time he decides to become a dermatologist as they earn more money, lol! Can he do it? Medical study is definitely not easy. It takes a huge toll on your mental health.

In case you are wondering, how are both of these similar? Well! You can already see from the premise of this manhwa that both the MCs were pretty bad at their first jobs. However, after reincarnation, they try to become the best version of themselves.

 

02- Long live the Drama King

Similarity	Character	Plot	Art	Total
16/20	9/10	9/10	8/10	42/50

Ahhhh! I was waiting to write about this manhwa. It is one of the top-rated manhwa of this genre.

It follows the story of a guy named Lee Hyunseok. Lee works as a PD (Producer-Director). However, he gave up on his dream after the failure of his first drama. As he was on his deathbed, he was given the opportunity to make one last wish. His last wish was to make the drama.

However, the setup he had was pretty bland. The actors were amateur, the writer was pretty trash, and ofc the budget was also low. Can he really make the best ever drama? I highly doubt that lol! The art style of this manhwa is pretty amazing. I’m sure you’ll love it.

Just like Medical Return, the MC of this show failed miserably in his first try at life. However, after getting a second chance, he just ROCKED It!

PS. He even got a spirit assistant.

 

01- The Producer Who Lives Twice

16/20	9/10	9/10	9/10	43/50

Another story of a guy who gets reincarnated back in time to improve his life. Well! This list is about such manhwa. This line might remind you of Jang Taesan as he was also pretty depressed after losing everything.

It follows the story of a guy named Joon Soo. Joon was working as a producer for a huge company until his career was completely ruined. He was depressed. His life was finished. 

However, everything changes as he gets reincarnated back in time. This time, he decides to work even harder to make his career. Can he do it? Can he get his life back? I’m pretty sure he can.

 

Conclusion

Soooo, here is the list fellas. The rankings of these manhwa are according to my personal preferences. So, don’t get angry at me lol!
