My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me has been on hiatus for more than eight months now.
Just like Iseop’s Romance Hiatus and Purple Hyacinths Hiatus, the creator had to take time off due to external and personal circumstances.
In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about the hiatus – and what we can expect regarding My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me’s return.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Hiatus and Return-Date Info (TL;DR)
- No new episodes are currently available beyond Episode 128.
- The creator has confirmed their intention to finish the story.
- While the total number of seasons isn’t clear, the artist mentioned that about one-third of Season 2 still remains.
- The hiatus was caused by the artist’s health issues and the desire to maintain the series’ quality.
- The return date for the series remains unknown.
- The creator is active only on their Naver Webtoon profile and does not have an official Instagram account.
Webtoon Global does not send notifications for hiatus updates, but don’t worry – this article will be updated as soon as new information is available.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Official Hiatus Notice from the Author
The artist doesn’t have an official English Instagram account, so all announcements appear either on their Naver Creator profile or in the News section of Naver Webtoon.
The official hiatus announcement was published on October 24, 2024, meaning Korean readers have already been waiting for over a year.
Here’s the translated message:
Hello, dear readers.
I’m sorry to bring unfortunate news.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me will be going on a long-term hiatus after Episode 128.
About one-third of Part 2 still remains,
but as the series went on, my body found it harder to keep up,
and I could feel that my lack of energy was starting to show in the manuscript.
Although it’s disappointing to take a break earlier than planned,
I’ve decided to pause for a while in order to create better-quality chapters.
I’ll make an announcement as soon as the return schedule is decided.
I apologize for keeping you waiting, and I sincerely thank you for all your love and support.
Please stay healthy, and I hope the rest of October brings you many happy things.
Since then, it has been very quiet on the artist’s account.
The last update was in April 2025, when the character Therdeo Lapireon was added to Character Chat on the Naver Webtoon app.
Character Chat is an interactive feature available exclusively on the Korean version of NAVER Webtoon. It allows readers to chat directly with characters from popular webtoons through a simulated messaging interface. The more you talk, the more the character’s tone and expressions change – apparently becoming friendlier or more personal over time.
Alongside that update, the artist also shared another short message about the hiatus:
And to all the readers waiting for the series’ return –
I’m truly sorry I can’t come back just yet, and I sincerely thank you for your patience.
Once preparations are complete, I’ll make a separate announcement about the return date.
Thank you as always for your understanding,
and I hope you have a wonderful day. 🌸
Thank you.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: What We Know About the Return Date
So far, the only official statement we have is:
Once preparations are complete, I’ll make a separate announcement about the return date.
Based on past trends, I believe My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me could return this winter, as many major titles tend to resume during the colder months.
However, since the artist’s health is involved, it’s impossible to predict an exact timeline.
- Episode 128 was published on Naver Webtoon on November 23, 2024,
and on WEBTOON Global on January 12, 2025 – a delay of about six weeks. - If this pattern continues, international readers may experience a similar delay once the series returns.
- Still, some major series – such as Childhood Friend Complex – have released global and Korean updates simultaneously after long hiatuses, so that’s also possible here.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Hiatus Timeline Overview
- Episode 1 was released for international readers on February 13, 2022, while Naver Webtoon launched it earlier on November 27, 2021.
- The creator consistently released weekly episodes until Season 1 ended with Episode 75 on July 2, 2023 (May 6, 2023 on Naver).
- In the afterword, the artist mentioned a planned six-month break – and indeed, Season 2 returned roughly half a year later.
- After that, weekly releases continued steadily until Episode 128, when the long-term hiatus began.
In a previous afterword, the creator also mentioned that producing this webtoon has always been challenging, but possible thanks to their support team. They initially planned to complete the story in three seasons of 50 episodes each, but later realized that such pacing wasn’t realistic.
Currently, we are roughly two-thirds into Part 2, which could indicate the possibility of another season after this one –though that’s just speculation at this point.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me is a great fantasy romance manhwa, with an interesting premise and many characters that have depth.
Although the hiatus has lasted longer than expected, the creator’s open communication and the “will return” notice are positive signs. Once official updates surface, this article will be updated. In the meantime, you can check out my other historical romance manhwa recommendations.
