making the description more accurate, Jeha did not kill Chaerin


Having somehow become Chaerin Eun, the protagonist of the romance novel ‘’I’ll Love You Every Day’’, she's more than content to follow along its plot and live her best life in contrast to her previous exhaustive one. But when the male protagonist, Jeha Yu, was supposed to confess his love and bring the story to a happy end, he instead turns into a zombie and kills Chaerin– who suddenly finds herself back in the morning.

Having somehow become Chaerin Eun, the protagonist of the romance novel ‘’I’ll Love You Every Day’’, she's more than content to follow along its plot and live her best life in contrast to her previous exhaustive one. But when the male protagonist, Jeha Yu, was supposed to confess his love and bring the story to a happy end, he instead turns into a zombie and kills Chaerin– who suddenly finds herself back in the morning.

Quickly realizing that every time she dies she'll be sent back to the morning of the virus outbreak, Chaerin gives up hope to ever reach a happy end after numerous failed attempts and almost submits to her cruel fate. But she's saved by one of her classmates, who manages to instill new confidence in Chaerin. Unfortunately both are killed before she can learn her savior’s identity and so during her next loop Chaerin sets out to survive the outbreak and figure out the identity of the ‘Unknown Extra’. Though for that she’ll need the help of her classmates, the novel’s background characters, who all appear only as featureless shadows to her.

Surviving Romance (살아남은 로맨스) is a horror webcomic created by Lee Yone. The english version is available on Website/{{Webtoons}} [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/horror/survive-romance/list?title_no=2607 here]].

!!''Surviving Romance'' contains examples of:

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Chaerin occasionally makes use of this to immediately rectify some mistakes. The earliest example is when Jeha believes her to be a psychopath after killing the infected Seungwon and she casually jumps out of the window.
* BlessedWithSuck: Chaerin can go back in time to the morning of the virus outbreak. The only thing she has to do is die. While all physical wounds disappear, it’s noted that the pain and trauma persist for a while.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Protagonist Chaerin is trapped in one, waking up on the day of the virus outbreak every time she dies. Some physical marks will persist across loops and she can even take objects with her by placing them in her mouth.
* HappyEndingOverride: A literal in-universe example is what kickstarts the main plot. Instead of the original ending of the novel with love confession and happily ever after Chaerin instead receives a zombie apocalypse by virus outbreak.
* NextLifeAsAFictionalCharacter: The protagonist is reborn as Chaerin Eun, the main character of ‘’I’ll Love You Every Day’’, a romance novel she read.
* NoEscapeButDown: Used in combination with BetterToDieThanBeKilled. As dying resets the events of the day, Chaerin of course makes use of this through the school’s windows.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The first sign of someone becoming a zombie.
* TheFoodPoisoningIncident: Chaerin’s fourth attempt to avoid the catastrophe by staying at home ends with her dying from food poisoning.
* TimeLoopFatigue: Chaerin suffers from this at the start of the story. After multiple failed attempts to reach a happy ending, each ending in her death, she almost gave up, if it wasn't for the Unknown Extra.
* TrueLovesKiss: Subverted. In Episode 5 Chaerin attempts one on Jeha in hopes it would break the curse. It only leads to them being run over by a bus.
