Rage Watched It
Normally I really love body swap or soul swap shows because they are quite entertaining and the potential for comedy is great but this one was frustrating for me. Now that I know the ending, I would say they saved themselves from becoming a disaster which is a relief. Unfortunately I was irritated right from ep 1 to score this an 8 or higher. Ep 9 really raised my blood pressure.
The story begins where a talented football player's career is ruined after an accident when a high profile chairman's car is involved in a hit and run. The chairman unapologetically throws a blank check in the man's face. To make matters worse, during their second meeting, the chairman falls on top of the footballer while falling down a flight of stairs resulting them in switching bodies.
What irked me right off the bat is that the footballer (now in the old chairman's body) is unconscious and the chairman now has a youthful body. The entirety of the drama focuses on the chairman and his twins fighting for the position as the next chairman.
The problem also lies in my expectation because I hoped for some comedy gold but the drama is quite serious and a lot of office and family politics come into play. There is some comedy in the final episode but not really what I expected.
The actors all did a good job. I simply could not forget about the footballer's plight. It felt like his life and problems were simply not as important as an old rich man. Though they managed to wrap up the plot well, I couldn't enjoy myself. Also the romance aspect involving the youngest daughter is a bit weird considering the circumstances. That's a bit of a plot hole.
You'll probably enjoy it more if you know what you're getting. I just wouldn't expect much comedy.
