Click #8

by Youngran Lee

Joonha is a normal, healthy boy of sixteen who has cruised through life without too many problems. Imagine his surprise when a recent trip to the bathroom suddenly reveals that he's not normal at all! With a shriek of "Oh, my God!!!," he finds himself missing, well, something he never thought he could live without. The impact is too much for poor Joonha and he soon passes out. While in his half-conscious state, he overhears the incredible truth: his family is abnormal in the weirdest possible way. After puberty, their chromosomes undergo some kind of mutation, which converts their bodies into the opposite sex! Which means his father is really a woman who has been living as a man since the gene change took place. Now Joonha has to leave behind 16 years of life as a man and live as a woman. What will his childhood friend Jinhoo and the girl he has always liked, Heewon, say when they find out?

I am not sure if I am happy with that ending. I don't like Hyejin but humans are selfish creatures most of the times. She just chose to hang onto an empty shell of a man. Not entirely her fault since the man himself is a self sacrificial fool. Who could you blame when both wanted to live with the pain of lost forever? I am actually glad Taehyun's wish is granted and they both looks good together. They are really compatible and good for each other. Of all the characters, I love Taehyun the most. He's a smart and sensible man.

Me: picking a series back up that I dropped halfway through 14 years ago and can't remember why.

Also me: screaming in rage and throwing this book across the room.

Throughout the re-read of earlier volumes, all I could think about was how the language hasn't aged well (not that it was great in 2007), and that this could be a totally different story if written today. But I don't even care anymore because after an entire series building up to the most perfect couple, it just straight DIDN'T HAPPEN (in the most k-drama whiplash way, too). Beyond frustrating. Wish I heeded whatever happened 14 yrs ago that made me drop this. >.<

The Gender Bender is a sad one. It shows that an arse brings bad luck to shimself. The story of the best friend is why I rate high.
