Features: Life is like a bowl of mixed rice. How many subtle and trivial feelings are stirred together, blending the sweet and sour flavors of life. The Korean family comic story "Mixed Up" can be said to be a comic version of "Look What You've Done." In the details that evoke both empathy and laughter, readers are unintentionally deeply drawn to the "sweet and sour flavors" of the young couple. Baobao, the young husband and father, is a white-collar office worker and the head of his household. From the joy of his wedding to the disappointment after having a child, from the responsibility of supporting his family to the pressure of his job, he is experiencing many new life experiences. His wife, Ame, becomes a full-time homemaker after her marriage, raising children. From a pampered "princess," she gradually transforms into a "Azhuma" who deals with daily chores like cooking and cleaning. Amidst her anticipation for the future and her regret for the passing of youth, she feels a mix of emotions. Their son, Duoduo, was born shortly after their marriage and is already eagerly expressing his views on the world with his first words. The colorful illustrations reflect the diversity of life.
