The best modern romantic comedy-drama I've watched so far this year!

I was pleasantly impressed by this drama; no filler moments and the pacing was quite fast, the plot is a bit cliched, but it was handled flawlessly. It mostly centers on the main leads' relationship, and the body-switching thing made this drama extremely hilarious and interesting. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling at every hilarious scene; it was a lot of fun. There are also several intense kissing scenes and confession scenes in this drama that was nicely done. I also love how the main characters' relationship grows over time; the body-switching brought them closer together, helped them understand each other, and allowed them to encounter a life they had never experienced before. They're both flawed, yet the way they're portrayed allows you to understand and empathize with their flaws.

One of the drama's main charms is the acting. Liang Jie surprised me with her outstanding performance. Her cool smirks, actions like sitting as if a guy and pissed-off facial expressions were all on point- she looks and acts exactly like Jiang Yi. For Steven Zhang, he embraced his role and delivered a perfect performance. I highly agree with what the Chinese netizens said; he truly deserves to win the award for best actress. The facial expressions, movements, and delivery of the lines he made as a girl were all flawless and somehow relatable. He has always been an amazing actor, but here he showed something that I believe a lot of young Chinese actors lack: versatility.

And in terms of chemistry, Steven Zhang and Liang had excellent chemistry. Everything appears to be natural. It would be great to see them collaborate on a project again.

Overall, this drama comes highly recommended and is worth seeing. A well-written drama with an excellent cast, acting, chemistry, and OST.

It's a 10/10 for me. ❤️
