About the webtoon

“The Borrowed Body” (in Korean "빌린 몸") is a webtoon written by Park SeKye. 

“What do you do when your body gets switched with your crush’s?! SangYoo is a painfully shy 18-year-old who has a crush on the class president, DaRim. But there’s no way she’d ever return his feelings: DaRim is popular, smart, pretty…and she likes their classmate, HoYoung. 

The three used to be friends when they were little, but a lot’s changed since kindergarten. All this gets jumbled when SangYoo and DaRim have a life-changing encounter at the neighborhood park. All of a sudden, Sang-Yoo and DaRim have a lot more to talk about, and HoYoung finds himself feeling stirred as he watches the two grow closer.” - MANHWA
