Description
“Whose child is it?” Winston and Yu-jin were once passionately in love, but due to a misunderstanding, they separated. Even now, Winston believes Yu-jin was involved in an affair with his father. After being cruelly abandoned, Yu-jin struggled to survive alone while raising his daughter, never expecting to cross paths with Winston again. Then one day, a fire forces Yu-jin out of his apartment, leaving him and his daughter homeless. At his lowest point, he learns that Winston’s father, Harold Campbell, left him an inheritance in his will. Desperate for any help, he decides to visit the Campbell estate. When they meet again, Winston still despises him, while Yu-jin only wishes to collect his inheritance and leave. To his surprise, Harold has left him far more than expected—but with one condition: he must marry Winston and bear another child within a year. Yu-jin tries to refuse, but reality is harsh. Fueled by resentment over Winston’s continued cruelty, he agrees to the marriage out of spite. Winston, on the other hand, makes it clear that their union is nothing more than a formality to fulfill the will. Yet, despite their intentions, an undeniable pull keeps drawing them back to each other. Both insist it’s nothing but lust, desperately ignoring the emotions that refuse to fade…

My Thoughts on Kiss the Scumbag
"Kiss the Scumbag" is a rollercoaster of emotions, and I mean rollercoaster. If you're looking for a story that will tug at your heartstrings, make you want to scream into a pillow, and ultimately (hopefully) leave you satisfied, then this might be your cup of tea. However, be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
First Impressions
Going in, I knew this wasn't going to be a light and fluffy read. The tags alone – abusive characters, forced marriage, child abuse – painted a clear picture of the dark themes explored. The initial chapters definitely tested my patience, and I can see why some readers might be put off by the constant misunderstandings between the main characters.
What Works Well
Despite the heavy themes, there's a compelling story here about overcoming challenges and finding love in the face of adversity. The author does a fantastic job of portraying the protagonist's anxiety and pain, and I really felt invested in his journey towards healing. The slow-burn romance, while frustrating at times, ultimately feels rewarding as you witness the characters slowly break down their walls and connect on a deeper level. I especially appreciated the depth given to Yujin, who definitely goes through a lot.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue I had was with the sheer amount of angst and the constant misunderstandings. There were moments where I just wanted to shake the characters and tell them to talk to each other! The scheming in-laws also felt a bit over the top at times, bordering on melodramatic.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Kiss the Scumbag" is a flawed but ultimately compelling read. It's not a perfect novel, but it tackles difficult themes with a raw honesty that I appreciated. If you're a fan of angsty romance with a touch of darkness, and you're willing to be patient with the characters, then I think you'll find something to enjoy here. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride!
