The Female Lead disappoints.
I watched because of CJH, having seen his impressive acting before. His chemistry with all the actors in this show is quite good resulting in many well-executed comedic moments. Except with the FL. Her acting is forced, voice and facial expressions monotonous, laughter irritating. Their scenes together are quite awkward and amateurish and i'm very sure it's not CJH's fault. it also doesn't help that the script is written fairly well for all characters except for the conversations between the 2 leads. Bottomline, i like many parts of this series except that i can't get rid of the irritation brought about by the FL. They should have chosen a better actress.Was this review helpful to you?

A Fun Time
FL Mi Jin is a job seeker?? struggling to find employment for a couple of years now. A recently scammed, desperate and frustrated ? Mi Jin has lost all hopes of realising her employment dreams. When she suddenly gets gifted with super powers by a magical cat ?. What kind of superpowers you might ask? A power that will help her find a job? Nope. Her power is that she turns into a granny ?during the day and back to normal during the night?. To my biggest surprise and I know to yours as well she is able to get a job as her granny self. (Wow shows it's easier to get a job as a retired elderly person than a young graduate looking to a entry into the working field.) Anyway said powers curse or gift were given for a reason as it can help her find her aunts killer?! How? I don't know ?because as things turned out she didn't need to be old to find the killer, in fact the killer found her. The powers I believe was fun addition or distraction used to add tension between the FL and ML. Frustrating!!!
This drama was fun and I have to admit I laughed a bit. The FL and ML actually worked together, i felt the chemistry?❤️?. For criticism: 1. The Cat?!!! How did it become magical? Where did it come from and why now?? Was the cat the soul of her aunt? HOW IS THIS AGING THING EVEN POSSIBLE!!! ??But I guess this is was we call a plot device, some unexplainable thing that just moves the plot along. 2. The useless 2nd male lead?♂️. Honestly the 2 ML was not needed in the drama. The fact that he just disappeared in the last 2 episode proves this. 3. The villain was so easy to spot. I mean the moment I met her I instantly knew she was the serial killer. 4. The writing and pacing. This could have easily been a 10 episode drama. The stories were draged for no reason.?
However, I enjoyed it, fun watch. If you're in a slump and really need something to watch I suggest you give this a try.
Ps. Coming into this drama with no expectations is the only way you will enjoy it. Rating one?

I like this Drama until ep 8 was going to watch till end
This was nice drama until ep8after that just like every other drama writer started taking free drugs
FL has turn into a dirt in ep10,
ML deserve better person in his life, Physical attraction is not anything
character is too,
this only Drama where i want ML to be more Cold then what they calling cold, but he is very warm hearted person
while FL is selfish Idiot
In this same story if Genders are reversed that ML would be a playboy jerk scambag,
but since its FL she is allowed to lead two man
and creepy IDOL do all idols born mannerless ?
picking someone else phone and Answering it without permission but , Fl would be super fine with it,
having friend like Creepy SML is a clear sign your girlfriend is going to cheat sooner or later
so its better to distance before she become your girlfriend
it was 10/10 until ep 10 aired i was hoping they would clear thing up, but FL just admitted her character being lose at end
FL first try to kiss ML without his consent
then she spend a night with another man(searching for cat)
but that man pick her phone without her permission and talk shit to ML
that's it ML doesn't need to go after that mess of person, he is better of alone can surely find a better girl.......
Hope FL die from old Age with her creepy Idol.
FL deserve some jail time for identity theft and JOB fraud

Not just a classic romantic Korean drama
Very well produced k drama. There is no unnecessary plot (side stories), it is funny but at the same time it approaches a sensitive topic in a very good manner: job hunting, job opportunities for elderly and work environment in South Korea. Other problems, such as corruption and illicit activities are also part of the plot, but the way this drama handles it makes it easy to watch, one can really immerse oneself in the story. It is original and funny. Love, comedy, mystery, suspense, awareness of real life situations: this show has it all! I have watched MANY dramas and this one is no doubt one of my favourites.Was this review helpful to you?

Almost dropped this half way through episode one and wasn't going to give it a chance at all only I'm so glad I did!Not a rom-com fan so have had to fast forward through a few predictable boring moments between Mr Cold and Miss Night, but on the most part each episode has been fine.
With the main leads (young ones) I have to say I'm not really into their dynamics at all nor the hot/cold shoulder treatment or whimsical hurt female after being rejected or whatever the situation might be.
The humour in this is great, however, and the timing is on point.
I've actually enjoyed the relationship between Miss Day and the second lead - it is so hard case.
Watching their scenes over and over again is something I could do quite easily just for the laugh. For example, the cafe scene in Episode 9.
Am also enjoying the true crime mystery to it, but not how there always seems to be a connection between the leads from crossing paths somehow in their childhoods.
Anyhow, 6 episodes to go and I'm hoping this keeps me invested until the end!
Recommended!

Basic Story + SLS (Spoiler Free)
SLS HARD!! Both MLs are flawed, which is nice bc it's very realistic, but I don't love how savior-y the first lead is with the FL. The second lead is kind, attentive, and playful. He cares from the jump, and notices first when the FL is upset or missing. He also seemed to have been intrigued by her/fallen for her personality initially when she was in old-mode which i found cute and unique lol.Otherwise, the drama is very cut and dry, and follows the same template most of them do. It took me 3-4 episodes to be interested in the 2 main characters at all. I think if there wasn't the gimmick of her having the old curse, I wouldn't have kept watching. It's pretty predictable, and the pacing drags at times. I do think the actress who plays the FL while she's old did a great job, and it must have been so fun to film some of the scenes. Made me think of old people more cutely XD

Imagine you turn into an old version of yourself during the day
Honestly this reminded me so much of Howl’s moving castle. Though the premise isn’t the same (where the character in the anime was old constantly and only young again when she accepts herself for herself), the concept of the FL turning into an older version of herself still held the similarity together.This was such a weird concept for a K-Drama especially since the FL was going to work for the ML whilst simultaneously liking him- which means the older version of herself crushed on the normal young ML, plus the second lead also crushed on her and even showed fondness of her when she was an old lady? It’s so silly and although describing it like that sounds crazy, I guess watching it made it look a little less creepy lol..
So the FL turned into an old lady during the day and back to herself during the night. I always wondered how the ML and the parents never questioned once why they couldn’t see her during the day. I get being busy because of work (since that was her only excuse), but still…this lasted for so long and nobody questioned it?! Especially the ML…considering the fact that he’s a prosecutor who also investigates a little on the side, how was he not questioning this sooner? But I digress.
Overall I really enjoyed the show, it was hilarious!!! I recognised the ML actor immediately because of Mr.Queen K-drama. He’s such a good actor for comedies, I wish he gets casted in more future shows- and please…give him roles similar to Mr.Queen…the bland/cold ML personality types don’t suit him imo. The only time he looked good in the show was when he blushed and giggled over the FL hehe
On another note, I loved the main couple so much that the second lead didn’t tug on my heartstrings at all. Maybe a little bit but the show made it clear that the FL never had feelings for the second lead so it was easy to ship her with the ML.
And also, man…I don’t know how to feel about the best friend with the older guy who’s best friends with the ML…they just…do not fit AT ALL.
He looks like he could be her dad…genuinely the last thing I thought would happen. Did the writers write that in last minute? There was no spark between them the first time they met and then the second time suddenly something happened? Lol…I don’t know, it just felt so random and maybe it was added for comedy purposes but the fact that they’re serious about it made it a little uhhh…I don’t know, uncomfortable I guess.
She looks in her mid 20s and he looks in his early 50s…she’s a naive youtuber and he’s an old dude who was already divorced once. Don’t really get the appeal of them getting together.
Anyway, I’m rating this high because this is the K-Drama that got me out of my K-Drama block. I was struggling to finish everything I started but this one caught me good. I loved it! Comedy in here was top tier, I laughed a lot, especially in the last episode where ML placed his hand on the cactus while trying to flirt with the FL LMAOOO
Overall pretty good!!! I recommend it!

Strange concept, well executed, nearly perfect finish
I'm all over the place with this one. The premise led me to believe this drama would be goofy and ridiculous, but that was not the case at all. The story was very engaging and the final episode was the best of any drama in recent memory. The finale wraps things up so elegantly and cleanly that it should serve as a model for every other drama. I will have to think about this rating for a while, but it is quite good, quite ridiculous in some ways, and nearly perfect in others. Well done!!Was this review helpful to you?

Sheer enjoyment
I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy . Fantasy is the key word in this drama . It is not meant to be realistic . It is light, funny , entertaining with a dose of murder mystery thrown in .The ending left me smiling and pleased and charmed with the outcome . The two women actors playing the part of Min Jin were wonderful to watch , trying to cope with their respective situations , capable and full of stamina and desire to do well .
An unusual story , well executed and played by all the cast . Choi Jin hyuk very attractive and convincing in the role .

Great show but with a dash of annoyance
You might be wondering why I am saying thus, let's start....In general the show was a good one, with a good plot line but ended up missing the mark somehow. Lim sun was the best character followed by Ji ung right hand man( the investigator) and the rest, honestly Lee mi Jin kept on annoying me most of the time and I do not know why, I do not know is it the fact that she had studied for 7years but still was not curious enough to know why she got to change during the day and what would be the purpose until the last episodes of the show!!!!! a 7 for effort
STORY
The show had a solid plot not a unique one per say but could have done better. It was like two stories in one but felt disjointed somehow, they tried to weave them together but fell short, like her changing to the old ahjumma but still not knowing why she changed still baffles me and I have already finished the show, it made it so basic , i feel less episodes would be better and just finish up the story...
The whole missing case from 24 years ago and we still have no vague idea why it happened again, why the killer decided to kill again after 24 years then how lin sum and lee mi jin are connected to this. They could have stuck to one story line and flesh it out from there and find a way to fix the puzzles.
CAST
Lim sun was my favourite one , very funny that was a seasoned actress right there, If only her character had more depth. Then everything would have been great
Lee mi Jin was just annoying me for some odd reason I do not know if it was the script if it was the the storyline, but her character was a bore, she was good at crying scenes and being all sad and all but the fact that she had studied for 7 years, done various part times but she was never curious about anything like why she had changed how she fit in, what happened to her aunt especially now that she was working at the prosecutor's office.... Never solved anything.
The prosecutor, did a solid job stuck to his part but honestly never questioning the identity of Lee mi Jin until the 14/15 episode was a small disappointment from one of the best prosecutors, now the acting was great, subtle reactions and great screen presence
The other actors, the investigator, even the killer, the parents , the friend did an awesome job, they were able to support the cast in a way that made the show at least memorable to watch, funny moments and honestly some even outshone the main characters, like the killer loved her acting it was amazing...
The music, honestly i dont remember it, but i guess it was okay.
would I rewatch it? Not really , but I feel like the show would have been great if they had just connected the show well
so far so good you can watch it if you have nothing to watch would you be missing something great? yes maybe the comedy part but a solid 6.5 for me for this show...

Miss Night and Day was really fun and I loved that the centre of it was the female lead, and even her friendship with her bestie was more important than the romance. The romance was lacking, I didn’t even care if she wound up with the prosecutor. He gave up on her so easily. The funniest scenes involved the FL and the second ML (the kpop idol) - I really wish that they had explored that more. Not only that, but I wish that they had really leaned into the dual personality when the ML found out, instead of... the lameness of what they did. I would've loved to see them go on dates and him not care that she was "older" (the way the 2ML did!). Also, the best friend not getting to meet her idol was stupid - can the FL even be considered a best friend if she doesn't even think to introduce them, given that he would've been willing and it would've made her friend ecstatic? I really loved the premise of the show, and the acting was wonderful, I just wish they did more with it. Was this review helpful to you?
Morning n night
This drama is good overall.I love the theme, the story, and the cast.
Its kinda simple and basic but honestly, there are times when you just wanna watch a drama that's simple. I love the comedy part especially the old version of Eun Ji. I love her so much! I've seen her in numerous dramas that I love and it's nice to see her as the main-ish.
She excites me and inspires me. This drama did give me a life lesson about youth and maturity.
She said something about youth sucks because we don't have the freedom to do what we want. But in reality, being old doesn't give you a lot of freedom too.
Just enjoy life to the fullest as days go by.
Overalls, I'm really happy with the ending and the story. Every time he smiles, he makes me want to smile to HAHAH. His little wrinkles are so kyut whenever he smiles.
Of course therws some cons to this drama but sometimes, you just gotta appreciate the things we enjoy about the shows. There is no perfect drama. (There is but not a lot lol.)
