There are many Manhwas out there, that have some hint of magic in them. Fairies here, magical stones there, and a sprinkle of magical abilities like talking to plants or animals. But the most obvious of all: basically every Isekai is a magical Fantasy Romance of some sort. In this list, I have narrowed it down to Romance Manhwas which focus on magic as their main theme – with the protagonists being wizards themselves.
Best Romance Mangwa with magic: I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster

Many powerful wizards: I Married the Male Lead’s Dad

Chaotic but magical: I Think I’ve been Possessed somewhere
Summary: Transmigration sounds simple. First, determine the novel’s setting. Next, skillfully manage the intricate political dynamics and captivate your male lead. Finally, secure your happy ending. At least, that’s the ideal scenario. But for Elena Sevess, a passionate reader, even the first step is a hurdle! If Elena can’t decipher the plot, she’s facing big problems… or perhaps it’s the world that should worry about her presence?
