Mr. Sim and Chae Rok both inspired each other to move forward to achieve their dreams and they genuinely came to care for each other. Their relationship was such a wholesome growth from Chae Rok reluctantly teaching Mr. Sim to a familial bond between them as if they were really grandson and grandfather.
I don't regret watching this drama because it has been such a long time since I've seen a drama that wasn't centered around romance, mystery, or angst. It's so inspiring and I hope that more people will watch it because it really needs to be seen by so many people.

My friends and I finally got around to watching this movie last night and it was absolutely insane! It kept us hooked the entire time and we were always wondering what was going to happen next. Unfortunately, I had to mute the movie and turn away during the living room scene (if you've seen the movie, you know which scene I'm talking about) because I was embarrassed to watch that scene with my friends in the discord call, but the movie was still very enjoyable. We really loved the acting most of all.I'm personally going to have to check out the actors' other works because I was blown away the entire time. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm giving so much praise because I'm not usually one to watch anything within the horror and thriller genres, but I really loved this movie.
This movie very much deserves the amount of rewards it received. I would definitely watch it again if someone asked.

I almost dropped it, but I decided to keep watching because each episode was only 10-15 minutes long and there weren't that many episodes to plow through.
I would, however, like to see Kai act again, so I have other dramas he acted in on my list. Hopefully, his acting will have gone from decent to pretty good. We'll see.

This is definitely worth the watch.I love how healthy the relationships are portrayed in this BL, which is saying something because it's not often that gay couples are portrayed as healthy. Unlike most BLs where physical intimacy between gay couples are the primary focus, that wasn't needed here. The intimacy between Solo & Gui and Phu & Kao were enough for me. It was soft and actually portrayed genuine romantic emotions between the characters. The acting was so well done in those scenes that I forgot the actors were new.
My favorite scene between Solo and Gui was when Gui couldn't sleep while staying in Solo's apartment and after Solo had woken up because Gui wasn't in bed, he casually laid on his couch with his head in Gui's lap. It was such a simple action, but that's something you do when you just want to be close to someone.
For Phu and Kao, my favorite scene is when they are spending time together and using Kao's red earbuds to listen to music. Phu just looks over at Kao and reaches over to gently brush Kao's bangs from his eyes before resting his hand on Kao's cheek. The way Kao looks at him afterwards made me swoon and my heart flutter because I want someone to look at me like that one day. Again, it was a simple action, but it was the perfect amount of intimacy.
I highly recommend watching this and I'm definitely going to have my friend watch it since she had to experience me ranting about it as I watching each episode in our discord chat.

The idea is promising, but the execution was very poor. As my friend pointed out, it's like body swapping, but with extra steps. Plus, I would consider this a "fake" BL because one of the male protagonists is, for intents and purposes, a woman who has taken over the body of a young man just to be with her boyfriend again. The boyfriend of the woman didn't even get to properly mourn her before she started using someone else's body to get back together with him, which is just a very shitty thing to do.Overall, this was really cringey to watch and, while I could have dropped it, there were literally 4 episodes to watch, so I just kept watching.
