Description
A car accident occurs while trying to avoid a boy who suddenly appeared on the road during rush hour. But that boy wakes up in the body of high school student Kim Taekin? By day, he’s high school student Kim Taekin. By night, he’s back in his original body as Kwon Heechan. But where did the original soul of Kim Taekin go? “So the only way is for this high school kid to snap out of it and wake up, pushing me out?” To awaken Kim Taekin’s soul and restore things to normal, Kwon Heechan starts attending high school, hoping to find clues. “You really don’t get it? You said your heart was racing, right? And your face felt hot? You couldn’t even make eye contact?” “How did you know? Is it some kind of illness?” “It’s love! Love!” Kim Taekin is secretly crushing on Woo Min-jae, a high school classmate who’s now the P.E. teacher? Maybe he could be the key to bringing Kim Taekin’s soul back. “Nice to see you. Meeting here, huh?” “Who are you?” “You don’t know me?” But— “Wow, seeing you again? Great! How about breakfast after this…?” “Get lost.” It’s not as easy as he thought. “Are you going to make time for me or not?” “No, I don’t want to.” Will Kwon Heechan be able to fully reclaim his original body? #Not a soul-swapping story Note: Half Of Me has two versions, one being the outdated physical book ver. which was released a long time ago and another, officially released with new and comprehensive content, which was released earlier this year. The following translation follows the latter.

My Thoughts on Half Of Me
"Half Of Me" is a unique story that really stuck with me. Blending elements of comedy, drama, and the supernatural with a mature romance, it’s a novel that surprised me in many ways. While the pacing is slow, the overall experience was definitely worth the investment.
First Impressions
Initially, the body swap premise intrigued me. The idea of the main character navigating between his own body and that of a bullied kid, Taekin, felt fresh. I was quickly drawn into the mystery of why this was happening and how he would resolve Taekin's problems to return to his own life. The early chapters had a good balance of humor and suspense, pulling me in effectively.
What Works Well
I really enjoyed the character development, especially the slow-burn romance between the MC and the gym teacher, ML. It takes a while for their relationship to blossom, but the chemistry is undeniable. I appreciated that the characters are portrayed as hardworking adults who are generally good at communicating, minimizing unnecessary misunderstandings. The exploration of deeper themes, like trauma, abandonment, and facing the hidden parts of ourselves, adds a layer of emotional depth. The title "Half of Me" takes on a profound meaning as the story progresses, symbolizing the hidden aspects of ourselves that we often fear to confront. The MC's personal growth, as he learns to address his past and open up to ML, is particularly well done.
Areas of Concern
The slow pacing, while enjoyable for some, might not appeal to all readers. The romance truly develops towards the end of the main story, which could be a drawback for those seeking a more immediate romantic connection.

Despite the slow pace, "Half Of Me" is a compelling and emotionally resonant story. The well-developed characters, exploration of complex themes, and satisfying romantic payoff make it a worthwhile read. If you appreciate a slow-burn romance with mature themes and are willing to invest in character-driven storytelling, I highly recommend giving "Half Of Me" a try. I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
