Great laughs and the acting is so on point. I tried to imagine the guy acting as a girl and knew its confirm a tall order for the dad actor.
Daughter pretty af and her acting isn't too shabby for this mix gender role.

FAMILY MOVIE
●This body-swap drama was oddly hilarious and touching concurrently. With the daughter growing up, experiencing her teenage growth, she has all her insecurities with a new crush and obvious study problem because she is an average student. The father is trying ways to be there for her and eventually, the body swap brings them their problems and closer.The father understands her daughter's feelings more deeply and even paves way for her to be with one she has a crush on. He also takes her dream of pursuing music seriously. The daughter also understands her father that how hard he works to save every penny.
●The concept is heavy, but the writers managed to keep it light with the comic scenes fairly well. And also the actors who put all the effort into playing roles of the opposite gender. the movie could have gone wrong, cause there are so many dramas and movies of the same concept which tend to bore you at some point. the comedy and drama is well balanced
●Ye Je Moon is an ace artist, he just blended in the character of a teen daughter perfectly. Jung So Min is very cool playing the role of daddy, Her body language and speech ability was fine. They would have worked hard that if the daddy was playing the role of what his reactions could be and they taking those same reactions in his acting. similarly for Jung So MIn also she would have taken a whole daddy speaking ability from Ye Je Moon and acted like him.
●I liked this movie and would rewatch it for a light mood.
It's a great family movie, which you can watch with your whole family and enjoy.
●Lastly, it also teaches when you are not in other shoes you don’t know their problems. This movie specifically shows what it is to walk in a daughter's shoes or the shoes of a dad. the end credit is touching it is really

overall the concept is cute, kinda also like 18 again, it's like kids and parents are from different generations so they see things with a different eye but with these concepts both can finally look through the same view point and understand each other a little more
for me this is the only project from Jung So Min that I enjoyed, ironically it's when she's acting as a man xD that's why I say black listed actresses are bad becasue of type casting..
the plot was boring but I did laugh alot over the silliness of Yoon Je Moon acting as a girl and somin as the dad xD
I especially loved when she chased him and he ran away calling dad xD also yoon je moon dancing to sistar xD

This review may contain spoilers
[ Rating: D+ ]Based on a novel written by Takahisa Igarashi, 'Daddy You, Daughter Me' tells the story of the growing distance between a father and his daughter as time goes by and she grows up into puberty. Even if you've never heard the titles 'Papa to Musume no Nanakakan' or 'Seven Days of a Daddy and a Daughter' - the titles for both the original novel and the Japanese drama adaptation of it -, but saw Freaky Friday, then that's all you have to know about it, there isn't really anything exciting and new about this film.
Freaky Friday aside, the film's concept has been overly used many, many times before and unfortunately 'Daddy You, Daughter Me' doesn't really bring anything new to the plate, doesn't add anything and the story goes on predictable and rushed, even though I did not see the original material this movie was based on, still I could tell they were only scratching the surface of story only to jump into scenes that are way too appealing to the viewer.
I was indeed interesting in the movie at the opening scene, however as the first minute of the movie went on I kind of had the feeling the movie could be disappointing when the Je Moon breaks the fourth wall and as the next scene went on; this film is lighthearted, so much that it doesn't really take itself seriously enough throwing in jokes directly for the viewers that aren't really part of the story itself, simply a excuse for a promoted extra feature, shamelessly breaking the characters and the movie to do so and I'm not taking about the extra scene in the end, that's a different issue, that scene seems like the director's saying "just kidding, there won't be a sequel", but also, it was completely unnecessary if in the end, they would just... do that.
Sure enough I wasn't looking forward to a award-worthy performance, but I did expect more from Je Moon and Jung So Min than I actually got to see, still they did a fairly well good job and managed to play their roles in a way to convince the viewer of the different situation they were in, however most jokes weren't all that funny, most of them went by unnoticed and there were too many plot holes, and unnecessary scenes.
The soundtrack... I did got interested by the songs they talk about at that one scene in the vintage shop - this isn't a spoiler and I won't talk about it in depth -. but aside from that the music in the movie is very uninteresting.
Talking about that one scene--- They broke their character there and that kind of left me confused for some time, for a second or two I was unconvinced of what was going on, it didn't seem like they exchanged bodies.
Not sure if I will re-watch this movie again, there's a chance if someone wants to mindlessly watch with me a chick-flick with a chance of laughter and inside jokes added to make it funnier and have more fun.
One more thing, just one last thing before the review is over. There were many things unnecessary in this movie, I cited two before, but there's nothing as much unnecessary as the ending, the recorded message from girls/women to their father - not spoiler, promise -, if anything, that only makes one thing how superficial that was in so many different levels. The old ladies probably delivered the most truthful messages, but then, you realize why when you pay attention to the different backgrounds. It is more like a invite to discussion on Korean social issues than anything else.
