Inner Beauty
This was so good omg. There was a LOT of drama. Hated Woochan (mc2) at first. He was a bitch but not as much as Hye-eun (mc1’s ex and mc2’s boyfriend in the beginning of the story). Hye-eun cheated on Minjae (mc1) with Woochan and Minjae found out about it in an article. Was sad af. Woochan was a dick for awhile (very flirty and teasing) but I couldn’t really hate him except for the first chapter or two. He was a serious dick in the first chapter or two. But Hye-eun? Fuck her. She decides in the very last chapter, two years after ruining the wedding of Minjae’s sister and Woochan’s manager and outing Woochan and Minjae as a couple, that she was going to “support them”. Bitch first you cheated on Minjae with Woochan, then you get pissed off when Woochan breaks up with you for Minjae (kinda cheats on her with him, but fuck her anyway cuz she cheated first and still doesn’t see she was wrong). And Minjae’s professor? Aaaa. Pervert and an asshole and I can’t believe how he’s just forgiven as well and Woochan even forgives him for not only killing Minjae in their past life but also for kidnapping Woochan (who was in Minjae’s body at the time). Like wtf? They should’ve gotten their just desserts instead of a happy ending for them as well. And now… time to talk about the body swap aspect. I usually try to avoid stories where mc1 and mc2 swap bodies because then it’s like they’re falling in love with and kissing/having sex with themself and it’s just like wtf? But this one handled it so beautifully. This was shounen ai so we never got smut but even the kisses they shared and Woochan being dominant even in Minjae’s body was just hot as hell. When Minjae and Woochan fell off that cliff together, that’s when Woochan started to change for the better. Also, that’s when they swapped back to their own bodies. But then they swap again! Was cool af because I didn’t think they would swap bodies a second time. Honestly, wish we got to see more of them in their own bodies but I loved it anyway. They probably were in each others bodies for most of the fic but yet I don’t mind it at all? Shows how beautiful this story was. If I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would. I read this on bato and people were complaining in the comments about the aboriginal people in the story and were shitting on the story for it so I was hesitant to read it at first. So glad I read it anyway!! Loved this story so much. Read: Wednesday, May 24th, 2023.
