It’s Christmas Eve, and Doyoung’s made a reservation at a luxurious hotel in the hopes of spending a romantic day with his crush, Hyunjin. But nothing seems to be going according to plan. They lose cell service, miss their reservation, and drive through a terrible rainstorm only to arrive at a haunted-looking hotel. When Doyoung asks for a refund, the imposing concierge insists he must participate in a game—a game that quickly turns Christmas into a nightmare: finding the real Hyunjin among the 11 fakes. Will Doyoung be able to recognize the person he loves?

The plot is sooooo interesting and innovative! Didn't expect the ending though. It reminded me of Agatha Christie's "And then there were none", I was trying so hard to find the real one (Blue I was rooting for you, you suffered so much because of Mr. Rose...). In the end, detective me was a bit disappointed by the truth, but the morale is very pure and beautiful. One should accept himself in his entirety, flaws and qualities, bad and good sides because that's what makes us who we are, special and unique in our different ways.

After a terrible fire all but consumes Sihoo’s home, his life has finally gone back to normal except…he has no memories. An amnesiac, he can’t remember much beyond his own name and the café he works at. Then, one day, his former classmate Yesung Min walks in and helps Sihoo remember everything that ever mattered: they were in love. From the ashes of his life, comes an old flame.

I thought they started dating before the fire incident so I was confused on how the storyline was progressing but after realizing that Sihoo had the fire incident before meeting Yesung and he had reoccurring amnesia it made more sense. But I don't get why Sihoo didn't reread the journal he kept where he talked about Yesung? Overall a very cute and emotional love story (it's so cute that Sihoo falls in love with Yesung again "thanks for remembering me").

James Jung is the top student at Ozoh Academy, home of the gifted and mega rich. He is also an undercover agent of Hawk, protecting the principal (and Godfather, boss of the mafia organization Raven) from a dangerous assassin. His name? Samuel Gyo, codename black mamba of the underworld organization Serpent, and now James’ homeroom teacher. In order to fight, they must abide by three rules: they cannot have their identities exposed to the other students, cannot harm the students and most importantly, no explosives or firearms. Poison and tranquilizers are fine. Fighting to the death, no one ever briefed them for the fourth and final rule: you must not fall in love. Will they break it?

Relationship development is cute and realisticly paced
Plot is really interesting (who can one trust, don't trust appearances), lot of suspense.
No plothole (and there usually is at least some question unanswered in complicated and elaborated stories like this one). One of the most complete work I've read!
The ending is full of morals and cute love stories (and closure for every character). I'm glad that James remains unaware of his doings under the influence of the drug, as Samuel told him once, ignorance is what can keep someone happy.

Minjae has been dumped. Fed up with their long-distance relationship, his actress girlfriend Hye-eun left him for her colleague actor Woochan. When Minjae rushes home and runs into her with her new boyfriend at the airport, drama ensues. Amidst the chaos, the two love rivals bang heads after touch a necklace with an aboriginal amulette. Upon waking, Minjae and Woochan discover they've changed bodies! The two will embark on a journey of "self-discovery".

The soulmates story is so cute. Woochan is so cute when he is jealous and when he teases Minjae. I felt like their feelings are a bit rushed though at first, we don't get many scenes building up their relationship before they aknowledge their feelings towards each other. However, their struggles are pretty genuine and its not ruined by silly misunderstandings.

Yuri, one of the school's most handsome guys and school vice president, and Jaerim, one of the school's ugliest but determined, collide!... or don't they... Can't understand what's going on between these two!

I read it in one go, it was great! We get in deep into the characters to understand them (never say never), the chemistry between the characters is great. Jaerim is a funny little man and so driven. Too bad the art of chapters at first are not consistent with the following chapters (the art gets so good).
