    This drama started off so well. The cast was good and Gong Yoo was great at trying to act like a 18/19 year old while in a 30 year old body.
    But after a while the drama started to drag on. I dealt with it because it wasn't as bad as other dramas and continued to watch. And after a few episodes the cliffhangers started to repeat themselves and were very predictable.

    The ending...oh god i don't know where to begin. This drama had the potential of having a very good ending, but obviously the Hong sisters didn't know what they were doing and I have never seen an ending so bad. i had big hopes for this drama and was let down big time.

    URRRRGGGGHHH, this drama. I watched it while it was airing and never got round to writing a review. But I thought now would be a good time to add another rant to the pile and explain why you shouldn't watch this drama.

    There are two things that are so wrong with this drama:
    1. It totally sucks after about episode 10 when it just gets so repetitive.
    2.Before body switch Kang Kyung Joon and after body switch Kang Kyung Joon are NOTHING alike. Which defeats the point of having a body switch storyline. Grrrrrrrrr.

    The first two episodes of this were brilliant, I loved them. Shin Won Ho was brilliant, despite being a newcomer. I will deffo check out some of his other work because he's     read more

    I don't even know why I bothered watching all episodes of this drama. There were not even some worthy funny moments. I perfectly understand why everybody was so pissed off with the ending. Reason is not just the ending. I think everybody must have endured the drama (like I had to) just to know/see all those reactions from lead actors after the final body swap. That's the interesting part of this drama itself. Like with these kinda complications, tensions were built up to see how they are going to end. Obviously, even writers were wondering the same thing and could not come up with anything.

    I totally loved Lee Min Jung in boys over flowers and Gong yoo in coffee prince. Cannot say the same here. They were cute together and I wish they had acted together in something matured rather than this silly one. Hong sisters are supposed to create strong female leads and in both greatest love and big, I din't like the female characters at all. Suzy's character is the cutest one and I wanted KKJ to be with Ma Ri.
    Also what about poor yoon Jae? They shouldn't have just ignored his character like that. I found Gil da ran to be very irritating because she din't even give any thought about the person she loved some time back, who was still in coma waiting for her.
    I just hope Gong yoo comes with the better drama. I cannot watch another drama like this just to see his face/cuteness/acting whatever.

    i enjoyed the drama till episode 15 but the ending was a turn down. i felt like travelling for 8 weeks and reaching the wrong place..actually worse..like getting back to where you started! this drama disappointed me the most this year!
  • Adhithi Dec 19, 2012
    All right.. I am just looking for Gong yoo's drama right now and despite all its negative reviews, I wanna watch this. I just wish he had done more dramas.

    Alright, after a marathon of watching this show, I could say it isn't as bad as what the other comments say it is. Sure, the ending could've been better and felt rushed, which got me annoyed, but I wouldn't trash the show coz of it. Still, every episode was enthralling and the characters had the chemistry that got me shudder or giddy.

    I didn't think the ending was bad at all. I quite enjoyed the drama. It was creative and made you think. The only bad thing was that they didn't specifically show you what happened to the bodies. Ma Ri said they swapped and they both didn't remember anything. The moment KKJ saw Gil Da Ran again it went into the flash backs. I think it put the flash backs there instead of the actual body to preserve the memories of Gil Da Ran and KKJ (In Yoon Jae?s body) in place. It wouldn't have made sense to show KKJ's actual body because that's not the way the memories they had were made. I understand why people were upset with the ending, but I think that the writer of this drama was really creative and smart. Creativity and thought was put into this ending and I actually appreciated it.

    I think I'm the only one whose gonna say this : I really liked this drama! It gives you a sense of taboo. You know dating a younger guy and kinda cheating with your fiancé indirect direct brother. I was really surprised by the acting of gong you, because I Allmost believed that boys spirit was in his body.
    As for the end I would really say it sucked, but when you think about it, it's pretty well taught of because it gives you the chance to fill some pieces in with your own imagination .unlike the cliche drama we all ( rich guy, poor girl, they have problems,the solve,the are together, the end. So my advice watch and thou shall see^^

    So according to the synopsis, the kid is basically going out with his teacher since hes just in an older body ahahaha

    Edit: So I just marathon this whole drama, and I can see why most people didn't like it. The characters were cute, but the storyline was just bad.

    Put this on hold at episode 13 while it was still airing as it had become very boring, 14 and 15 redeemed themselves then the ending TOTALLY SUCKED. :(

    I loved it to the core! And Gong Yu is one of the most charming and most handsome Korean actors out there! (^o^)v

    I just started this drama and I'm already shocked..he was prettier before he got into Yoon Jae's body.. Yoon Jae is kinda ugly ;s but anyways.. the story is not bad thought, but I think the change of their bodies will cause a fatal action. I'm afraid it's gonna be a bad drama..and with all these comments.. ;xx
    • Adhithi Dec 17, 2012
      Really?? you found Yoon Jae to be ugly??
    • Dobbi Dec 20, 2012
      Yes. But my opinion for cute guys is strange because I had a boyfriend only once in my life. He WAS cute.. now I like guys that are REALLY REALLY cute..I mean cute to death :D like.. Song Joong Ki :D <3 or Taecyeon <3
    • Adhithi Dec 21, 2012
      he he.. I hear you.. Try watching coffee prince.. I am sure you will find Yoon Jae to be cute too :D

    I was excited to see Gong Yoo in a new drama. However, I was disappointed because the awful plot didn't do him any justice.

    Anyone else peeved at how they ended this?! Literally they spent the whole last episode wasting on crap I didn't wanna know and then the part I did wanna know was skipped over in rushed in like 2minutes at the end.

      Very peeved... Totally disappointing. Didn't even get to see the guy under the umbrella. I guess the directors realised how stupid it was to have the female lead with the guy she finally picked. (Don't want to type out the ending for the sake of the others who have yet watched the show.)

    • Adhithi Dec 28, 2012
      Ha ha.. Exactly. Actually even Gil da ran would have been shocked to see the actual boy she picked and may be realized she was stupid. :D

      LOL! Agree totally! Awkward to the max. :)
  • forever_shawol Oct 18, 2012

    So In The End, He Didnt Turn Back Into His Old Body, Because Remember They Said In One Of The Episodes That One Of Them? Would Save The Other's Life And They Would Repay That Person Later On? Well Thats What Happened. Kyung Joon Saved Yoon Jae When He Was A Kid. Now Yoon Jae Saved Kyung Joon By Using His Body To Live. Because If Kyung Joon Was Back In His Real Body He'd Be The One Unconscious. So In The End. They Never Switched And He Lived As Yoon Jae And Lived Happily With Gil Da Ran. c:

      They didn't show whether he'd gone back to his old body or not in the end.

    • crizbiii Oct 28, 2012
      That's not really true. Didn't the mother say that they were twins? That means that Kyung Joon would look like Yoon Jae when he'd grow up. Even though it was kind of a mess since only one year passed, but that's why his hand was looking older as he grabbed Daran's umbrella and it gave us the impression that it was Yoon Jae's body.

      Oooo well you think they'd hire actors that looked very similar then, for that ending.
