1A different twist to the 2007 remake.
Well, being a 2022 remake of the drama, it contains different elements when compared to the 2007 version.Some changes are quite obvious, being the usage of smartphones or Bluetooth headsets (Smartphone usage isn't that common in 2007)
Also, there is some setting changes in terms of romance (more focusing on the Komue-Osugi pair), the office scenes is toned down quite significantly due to much shorter length of the drama (8*21 min episodes when compared to 7*45-60 mins episodes of the 2007 version) and how they swapped their bodies.
Osugi has become a much more important character than the 2007 remake (and there is some twists being included that is not seen on the 2007 version)
It is a light hearted, easy to watch drama in general.
Overall I would recommend you to watch both 2007 and 2022 remakes as both dramas has their own charm on it.

Not the best remake, but it was enjoyable enough.
This remake is quite different from the original one. I LOVED the original one, so I thought of giving this one a watch. At first I had some doubts because the story's focus has changed a lot. This one focuses more on the romance storyline between Kenta and Koume and less on the relationship between father and daughter. And I kinda feel bad about the last part. The biggest change would be that we see a lot less of what goes on in Kyoichirou's workplace. All we see is Koume in Kyoichirou's body making TikTok videos in his office. Also, for some reason, they brought an original character: Kenta's female childhood friend into the mix, which I thought was unnecessary They also focus less on the story of how they swapped bodies and instead add the part of Kyoichirou and Kenta swapping bodies right before the end. And that part felt a bit rushed since there was only an episode left at that time to wrap things up. So it would have been better if the drama was longer so that they could execute those storylines properly.As a plus point, I loved how they incorporated some modern things into the story like social media, smart phones and stuff. That was certainly a refreshing change.
The acting was good. Everyone played their parts properly. I wish Koume was in her body for a bit longer so that the romance scenes between Koume and Kenta would be a lot less weird and we wouldn't have to listen to Kyoichirou's inner thoughts every time. Nagao Kento did a great job playing the male lead and I think he has improved since the last time I saw him in the Homestay film. This is my first time seeing Iinuma Ai's acting and I think she delivered just fine.
The music was also a big deal here. They added a super cute (which isn't really my thing, to be honest) J-pop theme song as the OP and I kinda wish I heard it less frequently. But it fits the romance theme in the drama. So maybe it's not right for me to complain too much. The ending song on the other hand was easier for me to listen to. It was slower and sweeter in my opinion.
In the end, I still like the original one better. But overall, if I think of this as a sweet quirky rom-com(and not think of it as a remake), it was pretty entertaining. Give it a try if that's your thing or if you want to see one of the leading actors in this drama.

FOFO!
Esse dorama é uma figura!Foi muito divertido de acompanhar as loucuras de pai e filha e essas trocas malucas de corpo.
A mensagem que eles querem passar também é muito amável e eficaz. Em resumo, um drama pra passar o tempo enquanto sorri e ri de várias cenas fofas e engraçadas! quero destacar é o protagonista masculino realmente parecer um adolescente, kkkk um fofinho. O pai também era um show a parte, gostei muito da atuação de todos!
P. S. A mãe parecia que não tinha consciência de nada e isso era a única coisa irreal ali, pq pra mim é inacreditavel que ela não consiga reconhecer o marido nem a filha, agindo todos estranhos e fora da normalidade.
