I mean...WOOOW!!
I have been keeping this on my watchlist for a while and I was delaying it not knowing if I would enjoy it or not. The whole body swapping thing has been so used and repeated I thought it was going to be too cliché and boring... oh boy! How wrong I was!
Everything about the show feels fresh.
The pace of it is fast and there's always something going on with many twists and funny entanglements, so it's never dragging or boring. 26 episodes for a Chinese drama seems like an unbelievable dream but they got it perfect ( hopefully they repeat formula).
The chemistry of the main leads is something I haven't seen in dramas ( korean or Chinese) in a long time ( maybe since Something in the rain or You are my Glory) . They are so believable as a couple you can feel the passion in their gaze, their emotions and longing, even just by looking at each other's eyes.
I also enjoyed the fact that there is no toxic or unnecessary love triangle.
Oh, and, have I mention THE KISSES?? Finally a drama where they actually kiss and don't do those dead fish eyes kisses that makes the actors look silly.
The script is simple yet concise and straightforward, and it has a few dialogues where it actually very important values shine through, criticizing how the fans in asian countries behave irrationally or sexism in society discriminating women. I didn't expect this from a rom com so it was a pleasant surprise.
Im not going to lie, towards the end I was a bit less interested thinking it would have the very much expected cliché ending and then suddenly in matter of seconds the world of the drama completely changed and shifted changing not only the narrative but the genre of the drama!! What started being a sci-fi rom-com was suddenly not!?!? It's the most unique and original ending I have seen in a while!
There are so many good things I can say about this show but trust me, watch it, you won't regret it.
