Fun business drama.
Old CEO business dude swaps bodies with a future soccer star. What follows suit is a highly fun solid business drama filled with the typical reborn/isekai trope where the main character is knowledgeable about things others would never expect. Since the old CEO now inhabits the main lead's body, I never had enough of him being haughty and acting like he's still the CEO around others despite inhabiting the body of a relatively nobody. Lots of comedy and overall a fun show. It's still full of strictly business plot lines but ML navigating his way back to the top for revenge is written well enough. "Romance" is almost kind of weird, but the show saved it in the end I was happy with how it was resolved. The ending to the ending was a nice touch to wrap it all up.Was this review helpful to you?

Getting better each episode's, but flop in the end of episode.
The plot are quite good for comedy drama, but at the same time are too serious. The story are getting better each episode's, however the footballer's inner soul journey isn't treated very seriously, it only appears in the last 2 episodes. There is no visible character development, and as if by magic he suddenly becomes an expert in the blink of an eye.The ending was very unclear and felt forced, likely due to the 12-episode limit. The time skip felt overly contrived, and the villains didn't receive a fitting comeuppance. What's even funnier is why ML's soul was swapped again, so he will continue to suffer from exchanging souls without showing his true soul, what a joke.
