It actually scared me to see how far some people are willing to go in order to make others suffer.
Mmh.
Enjoyed this unique plotline!! Ahhh I ship them!!XD
A bit violent for my taste but still very enjoyable.

Reread from last year, and I feel so much ineffectual frustration at the fate of the original Han Siwon - yeah, the mystery gets solved at the end and the villain is exposed, but unlike Taemin, he never gets a second chance, no one seems to care (I shudder when I think of min woojin watching the video and feeling bored - sociopathic tendencies right there) Idk, recently with the spate of fastwear novels and admittedly over the top face slapping

fastwear novels and admittedly over the top face slapping that occurs in Far East Asian BL rebirth novels, I expected more? I mean, we get the latter OTT smackdowns through Taemin being something of a BAMF...but god, how I ache when I think of the spirit of Han Siwon, who was pure canonfodder in the story. He shouldn't have been switched to Taemin's dying body when he had no will to live and very little understanding that he had been given a new lease on life. Part of me actually would
have preferred an alternate timeline where the original Han Siwon wakes up and transitions into a BAMF, whether through rebirth, post coma or transmigration. And while the art was glorious, Min Woojin honestly pissed me off: his manipulation, his hypocrisy, his sociopathic nature. I admit, I'm super easy when it comes to pretty art but oh god, the characterization,and plot development upon rereading this makes me so disappointed; the loss of potential, what it could have been. There's a
plot gimmick and a vision the author has, but the execution is highly flawed and its not given the treatment it deserves. The more I think about it, the more I would have liked Han Siwon in Taemin's body to survive following a coma instead and Min Woojin having to deal with that fallout and regret that the man he loved had changed/is gone forever. Its harsh and angsty but I find Woojin doesn't really develop whatsoever through this story. He gets the one person he obsessed with all his
life, despite initial abandonment them and there is no growth with how he treats the world or his own character. Sure, Taemin gets a happyish ending of sorts (loving parents and a lover, I guess) but jeez, why does Woojin as the male lead have to suck so bad? Why does the original Han Siwon turn into a effing plot device to progress the story, especially when his suffering forms the basis of the plot. Its cruel and aaargh, so frustrated right now. Once you get over the beautiful
art which earned the 2 stars in this review, the characterization and story and treatment of themes such as suicide, rape and bullying is incredibly flawed and feels more like it was used for shock value and popcorn entertainment twists than actually growth in the story. I just, can't.
Oct 26, 2021 Ishika rated it it was ok I have no idea why and how I completed it. It was very problematic but then again I spend two hours on this so it has to have something good in it right?

**grm** (spoilers) Well this manga was an angst feast, but still good. I can't believe that his twin brother piece of sh*t did all this and had his brother being raped and filmed while he was, all bcs he was jealous that he was smarter than him and others always talked about him in a good way.

This was easily a 4 star read up until the last few chapters, and it is painful to not be able to rate it such when it really could have been there. Kind of disappointed.

wow. this was not what I expected it to be at all. really impressive for a manhwa. less cheesy than 95.9% of those, for sure. color palette, dialogue and character design were especially on point. not to mention that it was addicting as hell and I finished the entire thing in one sitting. it was fun.
Update: 3/19/20 Though now I appreciate more Taemin's attitude of "You're not even worth the time it takes to think about you"
Okay but what’s with that ending?!
Well, that was certainly something. I'm very confused about whether I loved it or hated it? But, couldn't stop reading, that's for sure.

I had to physically hold myself down after I read the final chapter.It was so satisfying yet not enough.I want to
see more of their relationship after the big showdown. Summary from lezin: After a car accident, Taemin finds himself in the body of Siwon, a victim of bullying at school. No longer a pushover, he starts standing up for himself but then meets Woojin, an old friend from the past. Somehow, Woojin immediately picks up Tamin's 'scent' from Siwon.

What happened between these two in the past and how will it affect their future? This is not just a love story between two childhood friends.It's also focuses a lot on reveng and family issues.On physical abuses and how it can affect someone. This comic is very heavy.It's got bullying, physical violence,rape and suicide.I would not reccomend it to anyone who can't handle aleverything mentioned above.But if you are able to read stories with these elements, you can't miss out on this one.
-Liket all the Min being the heir thing plot twist; in that moment I didn´t see it coming, but looking backwards it seems rather obbvious now.
Jul 14, 2018 Jessa Rivera rated it it was amazing Revenge porn? Fuck yeah. I went blind
with this one. I didn’t read the synopsis, thank god, so I was able to feel the anxiety Taemin had felt when he woke up in Siwon’s body. The characters were a bit bland, I admit. Siwon’s brother’s problem was so fucking childish as shit. But the fact that Siwon had been able to redeem himself was so satisfying. And between Siwon (Taemin) and Woojin... I was just disappointed because there weren’t enough— I mean, they’ve finally reunited and they love each other Fuck yeah. I went blind with this one.

Webtoon, completed at chapter #57, 11/2017. Except for the sudden end (eenggg... yeaaah of course I want more, I crave for more, pleaaaseeee...), this BL webtoon was great. Both MC had strong personality, and weakness too,
that were explored and dealed in a gentle ways. I swoon for them. The conflict actually quite deep; bullying, sexual harrashment, poverty, family issues. But nothing too graphic nor vulgar.

i didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. a couple of the twists actually surprised me. the only problem was a personal one, which was the fact that korean names totally go over my head. most characters have two name both that are spelled within one letter of someone else's really which gets super confusing at times. i didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. a couple of the twists actually surprised me. the only problem was a personal one, which was the fact that korean names totally go over my head. most characters have two name both that are spelled within one letter of someone else's really which gets super confusing at times. ...more

This had me chuckling out loud and was very fun until like the middle? And then it kinda went into chaos with the characters and the plot, speech bubbles too .-. Could not differentiate who was saying what at times. Contrary to the beginning (with the bullies getting what they deserve and "Siwon" taking no shit from anyone) the ending didn't feel rewarding at all, so many plot points were just kind of
thrown under the rug (the thing that rubbed me the wrong way the most was that basically all the Contrary to the beginning (with the bullies getting what they deserve and "Siwon" taking no shit from anyone) the ending didn't feel
rewarding at all, so many plot points were just kind of thrown under the rug (the thing that rubbed me the wrong way the most was that basically all the bad people did not get any kind of punishment, especially jooheon or whatever his name was, he literally organised a whole gang rape and got someone to tape it too and he got off the hook just for helping to deal with jinwook... like what?!). Not to mention the main plot point being made so that both of the main characters have to
basically depend on each other so their actual identities would not be forgotten because no one else really knows about them... That sounds like the basis for such an unhealthily co-dependant relationship, it was hard to look past it. I'm a bit sad because, as I said, I had so much fun with like the first 20 chapters and the characters, even if some of the side character stuff did not make that much sense at that point alreadyin.

wanted to commit to a new book, until my work schedule is finished. But, I decided to try this, because I had 30 coins about to expire and there were 8 free episodes, so I knew I'd get a good idea of the plot before committing...I'm so glad I did! I love the dual aspect of episode 1 - showing a pivotal snippet of both Taemin and Siwon's lives, so you understand the why of what's about to happen next.

Then we see
how Taemin fits into Siwon's life, and how their lives were always (unwittingly) intertwined. The story was really twisty and I loved it. The only thing that bugged me was that there was a character called Siwon and another called Siwoon, so it got confusing, at times. There were some sensitive subjects mentioned, and it's heavily implied that a character was gang-raped, BUT nothing is on page! And it's never explicitly mentioned what happened, so while I've marked the triggers, it's nothing that is visual or explained in any detail. ...more
do i even want to review this. yes it is 3 am and i do . delicious, the flavoring behind the first characters personality is immaculte, however i do wish he would get beat up less what a weak fucking bitch. Taemins personality honestly kind of scared me and if i knew him in real life i would 100% run in the opposite fucking direction so im not so sure why he was popular besides the fact hes hot and for plot relevance. Also why did that short dude with half eyebrows even exist, genuinly so fuckin do i even want to review this. yes it is 3 am and i do . delicious, the flavoring behind the first characters personality is immaculte, however i do wish he would get beat up less what a weak fucking bitch.
