22 chapters in and there's barely been any development in or btwn ml and mc or any clarity into their past. Writing and pacing are not it.
That last panel got me: "He was insecure without the rope." It really showed that the stalker desperately wants to be wanted by Hyunsung. Even if it means being a victim; restrained and controlled. It's all worth it as long as he can have Hyunsung's attention and care. It's all twisted, but I can't help myself! ╮(￣▽￣)╭ ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Bless all this cuteness. I just finished reading The Perfect Relationship and Escape into Oblivion...I needed this. ╥﹏╥ (≧∀≦)
From beginning to end, Minjae had zero redeeming qualities. He was hateful, selfish, and made bad decisions time and time again. It was only fitting it all ended the way it did.
*Spoilers...
Love or hate, the Father felt passionately towards Minjae. He hated him as his son's murderer, but ended up loving him as his son. But that's the thing, he ONLY loved him as a parent. So having to go through with kissing Minjae, let alone having sex with him, was probably grueling and purely driven by his hatred and desire for revenge. Their scenes together unsettled me so much, with Minjae being himself and the Dad with his dead eyes.(〜￣△￣)〜
If there's anything I'm really unsatisfied with is that there wasn't some epilogue where Sunho gets a happy ending. He and all those other poor kids are stuck at that horrible orphanage with that shitty director woman.┗( T﹏T )┛#JusticeforSunho
I absolutely agree, and what about Taehyun? Poor guy loved a murder and got nothing in return! ╥﹏╥
But continuing my respond, Sunho needs a better ending and the father just breaks my heart. Taehyun still loved him even after knowing he was a murder and no one can force their love onto someone else... so there was that too. But we really do need an epilogue for Sunho!!
I saw there was an update and I thought it was side story for Sunho! Of all the characters, he had his head on straight, and deserved a much better ending. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
What put me off about Taehyun is how he could unconditionally love someone like Minjae. However, after reading the Author's note I can understand that some people really can't help how they feel. The best case scenario for Taehyun is that he's able to move on and be done with Minjae.
With a title like 'Inner Beauty' I expected a slow burn kind of story. So Minjae almost immediately falling for Woochan, an asshat that's looked down on him since the moment they met, really came out of nowhere. The only way I could rationalize it is that after the body swap, Woochan was the one with subconscious feelings(& personal issues) and Minjae's 'soul' was feeling the physical effects from the actor's body. I mean, his heart started racing looking at his own face!(￣∇￣") While Minjae's body isn't reacting at all, cuz like, why would it?
And so, when they switched back, Minjae carried those feelings into his own body and Woochan back in his own body may start feeling more deeply towards Minjae...I guess? Or maybe it ain't that deep...and I'm over-thinking it. Either way, I'm pretty sure they're going to develop mutual feelings for each other & I'm ready for it.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
my thoughts exactly. no way he was gonna fall for him that fast
The artstyle and tone of ch.4 was definitely different from ch.1-3. I'm not complaining, porn with feelings is absolutely a-ok with me. The sex faces are ridiculous, but the smutty scenes are soooo hoootttttt!ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
This one had me going cuz by the end I felt like I enjoyed it, but after thinking it over, I found myself really disliking this. A LOT.
The SA (like always) was uncalled for but the way they addressed it was SO OFF! Like Mizuki was basically upset at Murakami for making him FEEL like a rapist... When he is one!? To hell with Mizuki's self-victimizing, rapey, backwards ass!!! AND he had the nerve to say he'd sue Murakami, who he SA'd, for sexual harrassment. Idc if he was joking or not that shit pissed me off!! And to top it off, Murakami catches feelings despite this behavior bcuz: yaoi logic. The lack of self-awareness in this hurts my head y'all. ╥﹏╥
It's a real shame cuz I liked their dynamic and this had the potential to be a pretty sweet office romance. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
