Every couple of years I go back and reread this and it’s just as good every time. It brings me back to like 2016-17 when this, Killing Stalking, and Blood Bank were basically the only translated BL manhwa at the time. They were all the rage because they were intense and in a new format, and I was following those as they released. At the End of the Road is such a fun, shamelessly melodramatic (in the best way!) story that has all the trappings of the subgenre. It’s like the ultimate BL—transmigration, bullying, and childhood friends, oh my! Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking but I get so smiley every time I reread this. The MCs’ dynamic is so fun and I really like that it touched on the dysmorphia and psychological effects of what body hopping would entail. IMO, ignore the hate comments if you haven’t read it and just give it a go—it’s a whole bunch of fun. I’m honestly kind of shocked at how many there are because this was considered like a masterpiece at its time lol, but I guess trends change and younger folks come in with different opinions. Still! It’s a lot of fun
