Engaing Story but filled with loopholes and absurdity
The storyline of a husband going to extreme lengths to save his wife is good on paper but unfortunately putting it in action is where they messed up. This is one of those dramas where common sense is missing from the world, the same old generic leads with misunderstandings, with you might even end up hating FL in the initial episodes, the cops are generic for most of the drama and it does gets frustrating to watch just how idiotic and brainless they are shown. Take away ML going scorched earth against all odds to find his wife, there isn't much left in the drama to make it engaging.The actors have done a great job with roles both the good and the bad ones. The actor playing the role of psycho for me isn't exactly hitting the mark, he looks crazy just not that terrifying that would give me chills.
It is a one time watch and if you ignore all the stupidity you may find it decent.

One Last Emotional Ride With The Stolen Bride
If you have seen the trailer and read the synopsis, then you already know the drama will be a rollercoaster of emotions from humor to heartbreak. and it delivers everything spot on. You better have some tissues ready as there are plenty of moments where you will need them. The pacing is decent and I am glad they didn't make it 16 eps as it would have been extremely draggy to watch. Every character has their own scars they hide from others but slowly let it out and will have you root for their happiness. For me it is a one time watch as I don't want to go through all the rollercoaster again but would recommend to you if you are ready for such genres.Was this review helpful to you?

A good concept destroyed by horrible storyline
The drama is living upto its title: Bad Memory Eraser because that's what the viewers need after watching this pile of trash.I am all for SFL and ML being together instead of a cowardly and zero self respect shit who is easily manipulated by a guy who almost sexually assaulted her to provoke his brother. How the fuck was she even a doctor when she is so dumb.
FL knows she isn't ML's first love and instead of being honest with him and loving him enough so he can get over his past she just hurts him more.
Then there is the moron little shit who is responsible for everyone's suffering. Ends his brother's career, reason for his brother's depression, forces himself on the girl his brother loves. Yet this girl goes after him to make him happy.
The parents are pathetic to say the least with no redemption arc. The worst mother you can give a guy is given to ML.

Kim Ji Eun and Park Solomon's drama is a breath of fresh air in this cliche trope of Body Swapping
The show from start to end is engaging, chaotic, mysterious, humorous and even dark at some points making the viewers curious on what will happen next. This isn't you cliche romantic stuff where the leads swap their bodies and fall in love later on but more about two extremely opposite people with each having their own secrets, motives and ambitions.FL's character isn't some damsel in distress but one strong, cold, bossy, ruthless and arrogant wolf who is ready to go through hell and even put others through it to get the job done. ML's character is a loud, chaotic sometimes childish guy who works under the FL and often faces the brunt of her actions. Both of their arcs end up getting interconnected with each learning to work with the Swap and at the same time going ahead to achieve their own motives.
The best part of the drama is that romance isn't forced down the throat of viewers but is kept subtle while keeping the main focus on the mystery and thrill factor of the show.
The cast especially the leads have nailed their roles. Both did justice to their own and each other's characters too. I would say it is a must watch if you are looking for something new.

It takes a Monster to kill a Monster
This is what you call a good female oriented action thriller.Han So Hee nailed it, be it the action or the raw emotions each and everything was spot on. All the training she underwent for the role is visible on screen. A girl who is ready to go through anything to get revenge on the man who killed her father was shown in a phenomenal way. All the grief, rage, desperation and shock the character had till the end.
PHS as the mafia boss was so damn good and I don't think you can hate him till the end. Its simple with him, no matter what never break his trust or you will be sent straight to Jesus.
AHB's too was good as a police officer and a brother who wants to end the drug trade to avenge his sister's death.
The story is so engaging and keeps you on the edge. There wasn't a moment where it felt dragged. The icing on the cake was the raw and gory action. Be it the cage fights or the final showdown. I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I always loved the web novel and was glad it was made into a web show with such a stellar star cast and high budget. The show didn't disappoint at all and if anything was even better than the web novel too.The characters and their backstories be it the good guys or bad ones were given a good time to help build the hype for final episodes. The cast and the chemistry between them was amazing , HHJ proved again why she is one of the best actresses as she nailed both roles of a young agent and a mother who has a teenage son.I won't be comparing the VFX/CGI to the shows in Hollywood but for a k drama they exceeded my expectations with flying colors.They really upped the ending as compared to the web novel be it destroying the school or new superpowered characters and a nice tease for S2 in the post credits. Everyone deserved what they got.
There were a few issues i had in the end as i wanted DS's family reunion to be a little bit more and not just a few seconds as it looked rushed and didn't give a high emotional impact I wanted . I also kind of hoped for BS to take HS flying just like his dad did with his mom would have been a nice throwback.
It is the best superhero kdrama produced till now and I hope for more if they go for S2 as they teased in the end.

A humorous thriller that makes you laugh while keeping you engaged
E(1-2)Has you hooked from the very first moment. I love how every character is busy showing off a fake side to the world and going to extreme lengths to keep the facade. "Not all that glitters is gold" .....the best way to describe both the families. There are no black or whites but every character is shades of grey. Both the episodes show the same situation but from different perspectives and the ending really makes you wish they dropped all episodes at once.
Each actor is doing their jobs so phenomenally and the story so far is engaging. The humor is on point and doesn't derail the thriller moments. Looking forward to the next eps
