The only thing missing from this masterpiece is that they should have punished those scumbags for what they did to the OG Siwon. It's not fair that they got away with it. I can't even explain the underlying annoyance I felt every time I saw Jiwook and Joohoon.
I read this webtoon when I was a teenager, and now in 2026, I feel the same satisfaction as I did back then. I love it and adore it.
It ended perfectly, but I wouldn't have minded reading another 30+ chapters about their daily lives.
(And seeing those scumbags rot, cough...)
But it's fine this way. I’ll miss them.
We need more badass MCs like this in BL, and the ML was actually sane (unlike so many 'trash' ones we see around) and recognized his soulmate even in another body!!!
I felt sorry that Taemin couldn't return to his original body and for what happened in his life; he was trying so hard to survive.
But I believe OG Siwon didn't want to live anymore even though his body would have survived, while Taemin wanted to live but his body wouldn't have held up. That’s why the swap happened—one of the reasons for the bodyswap.
I hope the OG Siwon got a chance for a better life elsewhere (I mean why not it's SCIFI!)
Even the friends were nice—Min? and Hoon.
Woojin really makes your heart flutter just by looking at him with that gaze.
Best couple!
Ahhh, I'll come back again as soon as I've forgotten a little bit. Author-nim, please let me meet them again.
Does anyone have a similar story to recommend? I've been a Boys Love fan since I was a teenager and have read many.
But one important rule I follow is that I only read completed stuff!!!"
More completed titles with the body-swap, Bullying, School life or Just strong MC tropes and NOT TRASH ML (COLD IS FINE)?
Should I even bother starting this? It’s been on my list for ages because I was waiting for it to finish, but now I see it was rushed to an end. Sob. I’m the type of reader who only touches completed stories with a proper conclusion. If a series gets axed, it honestly triggers my OCD—I just feel frustrated and left hanging.
I heard that the manhwa reached almost to the end of the novel (like it was only a chapter left or so in the novel), so it's a wonder why they couldn't just pushed it through.
but honestly, the ending could've ended when they finally confessed, so just stop there and it'll be alr. give it a read, their rs is so fun and i rlly like the comedic scenes
Hi, thanks for the reply. So you're saying I can read it (you have no idea how long I've been waiting for it to be complete, so I was really upset when I checked Mangaupdates to see if it was finished and read 'AXED').
If I read it, will I feel incomplete at the end and feel the need to know more? Like, I'm capable of going to look up how the novel ends. One question: is the novel complete? (No spoilers please).
Does the webtoon end on a cliffhanger? Is their relationship defined?
I'm scared. I don't want to feel the same sensation as in 'LET DAI' (I wanted to see them together!!!!!) .
I can't even explain the annoyance and anxiety I feel when I read something I like only to discover it doesn't have a 100% 'THE END' finale.
You won't feel incomplete since the manhwa basically reach, like, 95% of the novel. Novel is complete.
Manhwa ends on a cliffhanger somewhat as there was an issue of the ML (which I find it trivial tbh) but it didn't affect me much since the answer was pretty obvious and implied.
Spoiler but not rlly: they ended up together chapters before the ending and it's cute. You can just stop reading the manhwa when they confessed
It’s still worth a read it’s not a completely terrible ending
Thank you so much for your reply! I’m definitely going to read it now, especially knowing the ending doesn't leave anything important hanging and feels 'complete.'
Thanks for giving me the push I needed and for answering my questions perfectly. (And thanks for the mini-spoiler! It’s really important to me that they confessed and cleared things up). I’ll be diving into it this weekend or on my next day off from work.
Thanks again, kind stranger—until next time! :)
Ty! I Will!
no problem, dawg. enjoy reading
Saein’s biological mother and father looking almost identical is honestly weird. It’s never explained, and it feels distracting instead of meaningful. The story doesn’t give us any real logic for it, so it just comes off as confusing rather than symbolic or intentional.
And Saein’s mother’s death is another big unanswered question. How did she actually die? Why didn’t she pray for Saein’s biological father? The only explanation that makes sense is that her emotional bond was focused entirely on Saein — she needed to protect her son, not his father. Her priority was survival of her child.
What makes it even more tragic is that Saein’s father was locked in a basement for twenty years. Twenty years. That’s horrifying. His entire life was stolen from him, and we barely get to know his story. He deserved more narrative space, more depth, more humanity.
I also wish we were told whether the ML, Mr. Goh, actually recovered from his illness. Did he ever tell Saein (the MC) about his past? What shaped him?
When Saein tried to console him after his mother’s death, I don’t think the MC was really grieving her — she was evil. The real pain was about Mr. Guk’s sacrifice. Mr. Guk helped him all along and was basically a father figure to him, so that loss was what truly broke him.
The ML, fundamentally, isn’t a good person in the moral sense. He’s a deeply flawed human being — shaped by trauma, cruelty, and survival. His past explains him, but it doesn’t excuse him. At the same time, people react differently to suffering: Saein also suffered deeply, but they developed in opposite ways. That’s realistic.
What’s interesting is that when love enters his life, he changes — but only for the person he loves and for his family (his partner and children). He doesn’t become a good man for the world; he becomes a better man for them. He’s a flawed human being with his own priorities, and people like that exist in real life.
And Saein isn’t innocent either. At the beginning, he wanted to use him, even knowing it could put his life at risk. But what choice did he have? He was trying to save his mother from hell. Still, he never truly wanted to harm him — and he didn’t deserve to be treated like THAT. He’s just a human being, not a tool.
In the end, they accept (not forgive) each other. They accept their love. They choose to move forward together. Their life becomes theirs to live — not defined by revenge, not controlled by the past (or us).
It’s not perfect, but it’s a dramatic, emotionally traumatic, and entertaining story.
I love dark themes, revenge narratives, and morally gray characters — so for me, this was a compelling dramatic..flawed read (Liked it. Not bad).
Share some more reccomendation like this..betrayal and revenge.
i love this review. thank you. i'm still thinking if i want to read this cause i hate manhwas more than 70 chapters. currently on chapter 10. hopefully the won't be too much for me.
Glad to hear It! Let me know your thoughts at the end.
Your review perfectly captures what l've been thinking about this story. Indeed both were shaped by their trauma and pain and both decieved each other. MC by lying and ML by causing pain (but one sin is greater than other) but both regretted their actions. It may not necessarily be how I would have expected (ie ML being brought to justice for his cruel actions done despite him being prosecutor, which is weird like how come prosecutor does things like he did and get away? There's atleast someone who wants to expose him) but both sought refuge in each other and moved ahead
Thanks for your reply! I agree !
Is this complete??
the manga tl, not sure, but the novel is. Its quite a good read from what I remember
++ the story doesnt end where they both meet and hug. im pretty sure a lot more shit happens before they eventually meet
Ty!!!
Is this a BL? Someone told me so.
Not BL, might have some bromance but that's as far as it goes. Its an action oriented fighting the bullies type story
Can someone tell me a recap without spoiler? What Is the story about??
Since this is QT. It depends on which arc you are on. But here's the official summary:
Kayan is a villain. His task is to be a whetstone for the male lead, to make him a suitable male lead. However, the male leads he met were all defects. They all lacked motivation. Even when they had him under their feet, they were indifferent. So Kayan changed his strategy. He worked hard to bond with the male lead, and after gaining their trust and affection, he suddenly turned hostile and betrayed them, stabbed him in the back, framed them, etc. Everything that villains do, he did to the male lead. Sure enough, the male lead became monstrously powerful and very qualified to be the male lead. Kayan is very satisfied, and none of the male leads can take revenge against him, and once he completes his villain’s task, he can go to the next world.
Until… After Kayan completed all his tasks, the system told him:
[You must return to every world you completed tasks in, and survive for ten years.]
Kayan was silent: [Say that again.]
System: [You must return to every world you completed tasks in and survive for ten years]
Kayan: [&#￥#￥#!]
Thank you for the summary!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
So question..Is this BL? Or Bromance? I didn't get It. Everything was so damn confused. It had potential though..
Where are the 1 & 2 chapters?
Found It
Where we can found ir?
