Description
After working as an unknown actor for 10 years, Hyunwoo gets into a truck accident on his way home. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself possessed in the drama he last starred in. Worst of all, he becomes Cha Minseo, a supporting character in the gang who is terminally ill with a brain tumor and even kidnaps the young male protagonist! Fortunately, since he possessed the character early in the story, there is still a chance to handle the crime of kidnapping the male lead. So, Minseo decides to spend his short life for the sake of Cha Kanghyun, who is still a child. ‘I was destined to die in a traffic accident anyway, so I guess I can think of this as an opportunity to do something good.’ In order to return the child in good health, when Kanghyun caught a cold and had a fever, he gave him medicine and fed him food, like a mother bird sharing food with her young. Perhaps it was because he spent all day with the child, Minseo found himself sincerely wishing for Cha Kanghyun’s happiness. And Cha Kanghyun’s eyes, who had been with Minseo, also begin to change in an unusual way…… “From now on, I’ll take responsibility for you, hyung. So stay by my side.”

My Thoughts on The Circumstances of a Terminal Patient Who Kidnapped His Stepsibling
I went into "The Circumstances of a Terminal Patient Who Kidnapped His Stepsibling" expecting a wild ride, given the title. While it certainly has its moments, my overall impression is a bit mixed. It's a novel that promises intensity but settles into a more domestic rhythm, which may or may not appeal to you.
First Impressions
That title! It immediately grabs your attention, doesn't it? The premise is intriguing, setting the stage for what I anticipated would be a story filled with angst, drama, and perhaps a touch of darkness. The initial chapters deliver on this promise, drawing you into the complex dynamic between the terminally ill protagonist and his stepsibling.
What Works Well
The beginning arc, centered around the kidnapping, is undeniably the strongest part of the novel. It's filled with tension and intrigue, effectively establishing the characters' motivations and the complicated web of their relationship. I found myself invested in their journey, curious to see how their unusual circumstances would unfold. The romance is also a highlight, with the love interests displaying a devoted and doting affection that many readers will find endearing. The author clearly excels at creating a believable and caring protagonist, which makes it easy to root for him, even amidst questionable actions.
Areas of Concern
My main issue, and I think it's one shared by others, is the shift in tone after the initial arc. The story transitions into a much slower pace, focusing on everyday life and slice-of-life elements. While some readers may enjoy this change, finding comfort in the mundane, I personally found it somewhat jarring. The drop in intensity made the latter half of the novel less engaging for me. Also, the "yandere" tag might be misleading. The love interest is more anxious and protective than truly unhinged, which could disappoint readers seeking a darker, more obsessive dynamic.

Final Verdict
"The Circumstances of a Terminal Patient Who Kidnapped His Stepsibling" is a novel with a captivating start that unfortunately loses some of its momentum as it progresses. If you're drawn to complex family relationships, devoted love interests, and don't mind a significant slice-of-life component, you might find enjoyment here. However, if you're primarily seeking a high-stakes, dramatic narrative, you might be left wanting more. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
