Ma-eum gives vague feedback to Artist Im, not considering that he is looking for more. He has been trying hard for many years but has made a cut. Back at the office, Man-chul has been trying to persuade the CEO to give them a spot on the main page again and she asks him to make a presentation on why they deserve it.

Man-chul gives the responsibility to Jun-yeong because he is good at analysis and planning. He ignores Heo’s calls because he is not sure about him anymore. His presentation wins webtoon a spot back on the main page and Ji-hyun treats them to a nice meal.

Daeryuk comp broke. Artist Im has lost yet another webtoon competition and he has lost hope. He goes to the studio and reads Dae-ryuk’s webtoon. He gets chills after reading his webtoon and gets engrossed in it. He is already jealous of Dae-ryuk, not only because he has good skills but he has luck and a PD like Ma-eum on his side. He seems to be reaching his goal faster than Im ever did and he cannot see it.

He breaks his laptop and doesn’t show up the next day. Dae-ryuk panic calls Ma-eum but thankfully, she has most of his files backed up with her. After this, he realizes that he should stop trying so hard and finally decides to stop drawing webtoon and return to his hometown.

Ji-hyung takes her out for drinks to lighten her mood and she learns a lesson which will help her in future if she remains a webtoon PD. They go out for dinner after drinks but see Artist Na with the assistant editor of Youngtoon which is alarming news for NEON.

Today’s Webtoon Episode 7 Review

Today’s Webtoon Episode 7 talks about dreams and luck. It is not easy to run after dreams because it is not certain if they will come true. For Dae-ryuk, life was pointless if he couldn’t draw webtoon and this is the kind of passion that Dong-hee lacked. The episode showed that only if Dong-hee respected himself, he wouldn’t be so miserable. He gave up on webtoon but as Ma-eum told him, he can excel at something else just like she did at being Webtoon PD after quitting Judo.
