Artist “Puuung” captures those little moments that make love whole in these heartwarming illustrations. In relationships, every-day interactions are more important than grand gestures—basically, don't forget the small things.
“Love is something that everybody can relate to. And Love comes in ways that we can easily overlook in our daily lives. So, I try to find the meaning of love in our daily lives and make it into artwork,” writes Puuung on Facebook.

My boyfriend and I began as best friends, we fell in love on accident. Our first memory of things changing is him hugging me just like this.
Reminds me of when we would get takeaways and come back to cuddle in front of the TV, with our food on our laps. *sigh*
Pro-tip for any dudes out there, chicks with knives should not be grabbed from behind... it's liable to lose someone a finger...or an eye.
I would bake him carrot cake on his birthday. Like a kid he wouldn't let his family share. I was happy that I made him something he enjoyed.
Singing together! Yes! I love to sing sometimes, and my ex hated singing! It didnt work out between us! Hahaha
I relate to this one- hubby talking excitedly about something while I gaze adoringly.
I think picking her up and putting her to bed would have been better :)
Reminds me one morning, he asked for porridge with honey, in half-sleep state. So I went to the shop to buy the ingredients and get him some
can we talk about this crazy loft this couple lives in? thats love.. ;)
I love them...but #3 speaks to me most Question: Are there any images of the man crying and the woman comforting?
Yeah, I absolutely love these works, but am thinking the same thing: is he never weak or in need of comfort? I miss seeing that.

Work from home, view of the golden gate, no kids, huge condo with massive windows and skylights = love
Yep!! Very romantic. But my life with my husband (we also adore each other) looks nothing like this so I can hardly relate. Lol

It kind of disturbs me how this is how koreans view themselves - some weird pseudo white person. That's super hipster. Oh, also appropriated Christianity which essentially came from imperialistic colonialism from the west. I'd rather they embrace their own culture, but I guess this is what they chose.
I just loved the crazy loft! It would be perfect for my guy and I!!!!!!!!
The only thing that bothers me is that the guy never seems to be having a breakdown. Just the girl. Otherwise, this is simply lovely.
1 and 4 :D It would be nice to see one where the man is vulnerable and being comforted, its a not so common image of a common part of love .
I think thats why they are so in love...amazing house and sight...she seema to be a student but i doubt it.love is having lots of money!!!!
Love is rich white people with no children fawning over their cat. RIP Norman Rockwell.
I think she's really sick, that's why she keeps crying, and when he's saying 'wake up', she's actually dead.
Well, it's based on the artists own life. Maybe that's just how it is with them.

There's not anything in the world better than sitting with my girlfriend in the bed eating dinner after work and then cuddIling/talking!!
You know, Puuung, every one of your drawing is a relationship goal :)
Nice, but, very stereotypical image of the man - woman constellation (e.g. no pic illustrates the man being comforted while crying).
I don't think it's the same one in all illustrations...same couple though...

You did see the movie "Up", right? Such a beautiful depiction of mature love at the beginning of that flick.

If only this would happen in real life with lots of ppl that would make the world go for love sadly it's very random
It's happened, but unfortunately one time only😔

According to this... Love is always the same but in differents places :-/
Son hermosas ilustraciones :) ... tan hermosas son que uno siente calidez al verlas "se siente en armonía" y amo que haya un gato presente!!
I so enjoy these pictures. A reminder of what it was like to be young and in love.
Seclusive brother and sister defy societal convention with their hermetic attachment to one another, but he draws the line at their having children together, to her desolate despair.
Extremely nice photo, it touch the ❤️. unfortunately nice moments doesn't last😔
If only the whole thing actually happen in real life it would make everyone happy when they are in love
Apparently the man isn't allowed to have a bad day or cry...lol The artist is probably from a country in which men aren't allowed to exhibit emotion...
I think that , He should leave his own problems at the door, before he enter the home, better to let her see him happy instead of cry. All bad things are going after he see her😔

I love that the artist showed that they care about each other. Not only man cares for woman but the other way round it also works :) It's amazing. I can't stop staring. Very heartwarming illustrations!
I like looking at people who love each other!) They are very nice and beautiful!) I think that we have many chances in order to create real happy families!) The most important is the strong wish!) For example, when I met my husband in this site https://kovla.com/datings/us/frances/ I understood that the love is such feeling which gives the wings to us!) Since the moment of our meeting we're together and now we wait for our firstborn!) I wish the happiness and sincere love to everybody!)
why don't they ever go outside? it's because they've got a huge house or many houses? love is more than couple romantic love :D
Why is it only the woman who is pictured as crying and in need of comfort?
Why is the woman presented as the only one with variety of emotions..? I would like to see the setting more equal. Both strong, both week.
I think most of it is true but soooo old school : woman cooking nice little dishes to hubby, crying all the time. Hubby always comforting he
"Love Is" is a book in the making! I love the idea of seeing love in the small things. Keep up the good work.
Why is she the only one crying? Love is also when the men feels safe and loved in return when he is crying in front of her
Some of it is nice, but some of it is just.... Too..... Cheesy..........................
The perfect life with somebody to love you... Love is the air and everywhere.
Nice, but, very stereotypical image of the man - woman constellation, (e.g. no pic illustrates the man being comforted while crying).
The drawings are so nice but why is the boy always the mature one and the girl needs care? It should be both ways...
loved every bit of it. It's everything a girl in love imagines but can't be sure if that's reality for many people.
Despues de ver esto me dieron ganas de cortarme las venas con un pan bien duro.
love also means that when you fight with your SO you hace to listen all the things that both have to say , and even partner can cry
I'm over 50 and am now weary of a life where I constantly worried about a food and shelter. My children only had me, but they are grown now.
I have known true love. 25 pictures, each containing a one word comment from me, read together for a message of what they reveal to my soul
Why is it when there's somebody crying is her? Guys cry too and they do it in our arms.That's love too.
Why everytime someone is crying is her? Guys cry too and they do it in our arms. That's love too.
Very nice but I lack men beeing sad and in need of comfort. That happens too.
Imho, the guy here looks more like a friendzoned pal than anything else. Sry, but letting a girl cry on your shoulder doesn't win affection.
Imho, the guy on the pics looks more like frienzoned pal than anything else. Letting a girl cry on your shoulder does not win affection, lol
Love how the cat is always in the picture! Now i feel all romantic and s**t! Awwww <3
I like them.But why does he always comfort her? That is so stereo. A woman can comfort her man too when he's upset.
Vite, but I'm having a hard time not to react to the artist name."Pung" is "ballsack" in swedish. Yes, THAT kind of ballsack.
Most of them are cute, I DON'T like at all, why she is the one is always crying, reality must be both, sometimes her, sometimes him
I like most of them are super cute, but I don't like at all why always She is the one who is crying and He take care of her!
If these were made into a book, I would buy that book in a heartbeat!
They are all so beautiful. I look forward to falling in love one day to have moments like these. :)
my wife and I always argue everything, that outsiders may think that it's a fight. They don't know that it always ends with a great laughter
Absolutely loved it! Made me think about our life and realize again how happy we are
its always the guy comforting, the guy covering her up, the woman doing the cooking. good intentions, bad illustrations

i love the surroundings he or she creates around this couple! the architecture...
Ok. So this made me register here finally, after months of lurking. I really have to vote up all of the pictures. Now.
these went right to my heart, they also look like my boyfriend and I, and I can completely understand what love is since I have him
Okay. I want that. Now. Where can I order that? The relationship and the loft... :'D
Love is... cute, but seems pretty much traditional. Woman cooking is routine, man cooking is a happening.
loooove them...the old romantic anime style....all the little moments..
I don't think it's the same one in all illustrations...same couple though...
