The Sopping Wet Cat vs Girlbosses
Premise: A modern girl wakes up in the body of a timid, sopping wet cat, bathhouse worker who longs for the princess from afar. Her mission, get the arrogant princess to marry him.The Twist: Rather than a "simple" body switch or body take-over, this show brings forth The Chair! Whoever sits in the chair controls the body 😅. What could POSSIBLY go wrong when two heterosexual people of opposite genders BOTH control a male body?
Overall this was a very unserious show that had a lot of funny moments. The ending was both glaringly obvious AND semi-unique.
As for the cast, Wang Ze Xuan does a crazy good job imitating Chen Fang Tong's expressions and mannerisms when "she" is in control. He has to play such drastically different personalities that it really shows his skills off. As for Chen Fang Tong... She is the audience personified in many scenes. Taking advantage when she can her delight over causing mischief for him to clean up is just fun and addictive to watch.
8.5/10
(Plot holes and rushed sub plot ending nicks some points)

Completely silly and fun. An absolute must watch for the fans of Wang Ze Xuan
I really enjoyed the story of a modern spunky girl bumping into the consciousness of a meek ancient boy. The silliness and lightness of the scenes are hard not to enjoy, but you have to watch it tongue in cheek otherwise you will be dropping this. We have a clever girl enjoying the ride while taking charge of the meek massage master at a male bathhouse - you can tell where this is going, right? Well, the twist is: to get back to her life she needs to make the ML marry the princess of whom he has been hopelessly dreaming about. Of course, the things get complicated when the boy and the girl fall in love inside of his mind...Cheng Fang Tong is a master of comedies, but she is pretty versatile. If you have not had a chance to watch Wang Ze Xuan before -this role was really a showcase of his talents. A Yi Xia although her role was rather poorly written did a marvelous job of being a proud princess. There is some eye candy with bare chests, but I really enjoyed the range of acting by the ML as he went from a pushover awkward boy to a loud and bossy girl, through a man terrified of the things that are happening to him, and recognizing and missing his love, to a man sacrificing himself in the name of that love and his beloved. I watched him in A Familiar Stranger and Hard to Find, and believe he is a great talent worthy of main roles in full length dramas. And even if this was not an ambitious production, I am giving it a high mark for that reason.

SASSY IN HIS SHOES
This drama is a delightful mix of humor and heart, especially from Episode 13 onward when the story truly shines. The body-swap and time-travel tropes may feel overused, but the unique execution here breathes new life into them. Watching a bold, sassy female lead take control of a timid male character’s body (with his soul stuck inside) is hilariously refreshing and adds layers of comedy and conflict.
Chen Fang Tong continues to amaze with her stellar performances. From modern dramas to historical epics, steamy romances to cute comedies, she nails every role with grace and charisma. Her chemistry with Gao is usually a highlight, but even without him, her presence elevates the show. As for the male lead, though I haven’t seen much of his work, his nuanced performance complements the narrative perfectly.
While the plot isn’t groundbreaking, the storytelling, humor, and engaging characters make it worth your time. It strikes the perfect balance between lighthearted fun and emotional depth. Overall, this drama is an entertaining watch that keeps you hooked till the very end.
