I can't believe I postponed watching this :|
AYO for some reason whatsoever, I paused this drama a couple of years ago, probably because I got bored during the middle, but then I restarted all the way from the beginning and carried through AND I DO NOT REGRET A SINGLE THING. actually I regret pausing but other than that nothing else.
everything was 5 stars to besides the story and that's only because Gil Ra Im, whose supposed to be skilled in multiple areas of martial arts, self defense, and works out daily because of her job, is constantly overpowered by Joo Wan, which by the way FRUSTRATED ME quite a bit. another thing was that most of the physical power he forced upon her felt like borderline sexual assault if this was real world but bc I watched the NG cuts & behind the scenes, I found it (guiltily) cute.
ALSO Joo Wan's mother was EXTREMELY ANNOYING and STUBBORN but that's part of the plot so there was nothing to be done about that.
I don't have any complaints against anything else. I love the way she made things difficult for him because he deserved it most of the time. the struggle was REALLLL satisfying. the bond between Joo Wan and Oska was a beauty. every other part of the plot was just intricate and didn't leave any obvious foreshadowing, plotholes, and repeatative scenes. my favorite thing was how they kept introducing new scenes that haven't been shown throughout the drama. (that may have been a slight spoiler). the chemistry was just perfect, comedy was funny, dialogue was interesting, and I love how the focus of the story (soul switching) wasn't the only part to the plot. They were somehow able to spread that across the drama and incorporated it differently from how dramas currently doing. (maybe it's just me missing 2010 type of dramas).
the characters had amazing growth, the OST has been added to my playlists, and I AM DEFINITELY REWATCHING THIS DRAMA. Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won look too good in this drama not to. I cried, I laughed, I loved, I was angered, and I had my expectations risen so there's pros and cons, mainly pros.
though many might not even know of this dramas existence anymore, I do hope this gets recommended or at least diffused somehow for a longer time because this drama really deserves its love and fame. it really gives me nostalgic feels
