Summary
<The Ice Queen and the Hound> is a contemporary romance webtoon that follows two former first loves who enter into a contract relationship, only to see that arrangement gradually develop into real love. At the center of the story is the contrasting chemistry between Mu-gyeol, the rough-edged male lead, and Se-gyeong, the aloof and sharp-tongued female lead, delivering the appeal of modern romance through a high-density emotional relationship arc.
The story begins when Mu-gyeol unexpectedly reunites with Se-gyeong, his first love from high school, and proposes a contract relationship. What starts as a relationship based on mutual interests gradually deepens as the two spend more time together, influence one another, and eventually become genuine lovers. Beyond romance, the narrative also explores Se-gyeong’s journey to break free from her aunt’s gaslighting.
By incorporating proven audience-favorite keywords in female-oriented romance—such as contract dating, reunion, and first love—the series is well-positioned for expansion into romance drama adaptations. In particular, the presence of an intelligent sociopathic villain who engages in gaslighting adds psychological tension, while the combination of emotionally driven romance and suspense makes the IP well suited for expansion across multiple media formats.
