Now, if you’re unfamiliar with this trope, let me tell you a little bit about it. The grumpy/sunshine trope is mainly a grumpy character falling for a sunshine character. Grumpy characters are usually stoic, icy, or even prefer order instead of chaos. Sunshine characters tend to talk a lot more, they like everyone, and they are overly nice. This is, of course, only the superficial stuff, because each character has their own story and maybe they are who they are because of their past and their circumstances. One little aspect I adore about this trope is that most of the time the grumpy character is very soft when they are in front of the other character. They let down their walls and you can see through that action that the grumpy, closed-off character trusts them. So, it’s a huge thing in terms of romantic development in the story. The grumpy/sunshine trope is an opposites-attract romantic trope that is used a lot in media, be it TV shows or manhwa. I love talking about romantic tropes, so I hope I can do plenty more but also focused on manhwa and webtoons. The manhwa world is filled with hidden gems and I want readers to find that perfect pick for them. Looking for more romance content?
