I loved how their relationship started from a mere tissue, but the best part is them dealing with language barriers and the cooperation they show towards one another. They are adorable and it's so fluffy to watch them interact, I want them time to remain as best bros before they fall in love.

The MC seems like a coward in the beginning, then as the plot reveals more, he's forced to face his fears of the past while living in the present cuz of his reincarnation. Although he has made mistakes just like all humans did, not taking the right action at the time required caused him many problems. His name was ygret, lived poorly in regret before attaint spirit magic, died from natural death with regrets while betraying people's trust (even though there were some who shamelessly/with pride on the line, asked him for help) and rebirths only to receive a name 'Judas' , the person who betrayed Jesus and also "regretted" doing so. This manhwa gives me a cute, yet a bit depressing vibe (just my pov) as if ygret would regret killing the very disciple whom he had taught well. Maybe it's because this portrays some bit of both worlds; black and white with grey areas, how political battles are done for survival but at the same time numbs one's emotions.

I just love the charas as they are. The fact that most stereotypical clichés and troupes are broken apart makes me realise just how satisfying it feels to read this. The plot is slightly complex, but easy to understand if connected the dots together. I can also say for now and even till the recent chps. that this is one of the amnesia plots done well even if this doesn't have a novel version. Till now, 2 world stages + vacation world side stage has been completed. The next one is a new stage featured around BL instead of a straight couple plot. Only one thing is, no smut scenes are depicted, so a slight letdown, but nevertheless glad that supporting charas are also mentioned, only thing I'm worried about is the ending part. Sometimes conclusions aren't ended properly, so the level of pacing right now is fine.

Reading this makes me lose my IQ too much. It's like seeing kids fighting for a toy. And one potential ML surprisingly is someone who knew the original MC inside of Jaewoo that transmigrated. The worst thing I don't like is how he is so dmn clueless about HOW the characters changed so much? Come on, did he forget the novel or was the body itself made him dumb? He couldn't even put the equation of 'himself' as the one for triggering their soft spots and claims himself to have been to school, still goes with a stranger when he could have just blocked the number. True, they are big shot people, but unnecessary actions would only do more harm than good. Also, later when MC realises he grew feelings for Hyeonjin, he doesn't seem to communicate properly, poor guy had to blame himself for being the cause of MC's misery. I'm only able to continue reading due to Hyeonjin & family interactions & cooking parts. And it's still unknown what type of "friend" relationship Yoon had with MC, but taking him against his decision outside (?as in how) is a no-go for me, forget that, MC doesn't even know he isn't the actual person at all.
