Honestly, it was not bad, and the story had more potential to be better than showed, if it was fleshed out more.
However, since it was short with 11 mins each episode, the story was really rushed. In some parts I could not understand the story and at one point I lost interest.
Plus, I could not feel the romance between the leads, Lan Xiao Yu (female lead) and Chi Jing Yu (male lead) since the female lead first liked the Crown Prince (2nd male lead). Then they rushed the romance between Lan Xiao Yu and Chi Jing Yu.
However, the body switching part was interesting and the ending showed that the Crown Prince was not what he seemed. So that twist at the end made it interesting. Whether they will continue it or not, I don't know but I think I will watch it if they did.
Honestly, it was better than I expected, as I did not have high expectations for this drama. I thought it would be only light and cheesy, and it kind of was, but it had some dark moments. Plus, those moments turned into positive messages which I liked :)
For the chemistry of the leads, it was nothing special, but they were cute. I discovered that the leads are in a k-pop group which I never heard about. Off to discover a new group :)
Honestly, I really enjoyed it. It was nothing new, original or the best drama I ever watched. Like we all seen, read or hear about corruption, bribes, money laundering, illegal stuff, prostitution, kidnapping, murder, greed, power, self-interests, etc, in a drama or hear about it in real life with politicians, the government, police etc. It happens and unfortunately it will continue happening.
But I enjoyed how they showed it in this drama. I also loved the little bit of fantasy where Kim Hee Woo time traveled back in the past, improved himself and he could also help the people he cared about and helped their lives for the better.
I consider this drama to be light. Yes, it had serious moments, but not that harsh in my opinion with bits of comedy throughout the drama that lightens up the mood.
Thinking more about this drama, you can say it was too good to be true as a story. Like even if someone goes back to the past and he/she can change things or moments that happen, like would things go well?
Like Kim Hee Woo rarely had setbacks and things mostly went well. Yes, you can say he's witty, intelligent, a genius, has a good memory, etc and I'm not complaining as I did enjoy this drama this way. But it's too to be true in my opinion.
Anyway, it's a drama with a good ending and positive messages, so let's take it as it is :) And the actors were all excellent, good fighting scenes, a good story and a good production overall ^_^
Loved the movie! It had a different feel from the drama, I think it was shot better. Also, the story was more tense, and a lot was going on in the movie. Honestly, it felt more than 2 hours.
Definitely worth watching all the dramas, special and this movie <3
Loved this season as well! It's great as the first season! Loved the story, acting, their dedication to their work, their teamwork and family feel in this season as well <3
I had high expectations, and I really loved the story until episode 6. But then it got draggy. Even the last 2 episodes made it draggier with the time skip. I also fast forwarded a lot of scenes and it still felt draggy.
At least the ending with Pat and Jeng was cute, even with all the complications that happened and a happy ending for them.
For Jaab and Jane, what the heck happened with them, I have no idea and I don't plan to understand. It made no sense to me or let's say I did not understand what happened.
It really had potential, but they dragged it and ruined it.
All in all, it was not bad, especially the work scenes, I really enjoyed them. And I liked Pat and Jeng together, they were cute ^_^
You can say it's a happy ending for the leads, but lots of people died or were sacrificed for it to happen and that's sad as well. But overall, I enjoyed the story, production and acting :)
I enjoyed this mini drama and will continue season 2. The acting, the story and the production are quite good.
But the ending of season 1, I cannot understand why Leng Li felt betrayed because He Lian Xuan hid his other identity and did not tell her.
Like she herself is another person and did not tell He Lian Xuan. Since she could not trust him enough to tell him, he did not trust her enough to tell her. Afterall He Lian Xuan knew that there is something amiss about her.
Ok, maybe it was not her choice to become someone else, but still, she is someone else and did not tell him. Withholding information is still deception and they technically deceived each other, so she should have understood him since she holds secrets as well.
That's my opinion anyway and will continue season 2.
NO!!! The ending!! At least show them together in another lifetime or in the human world or in the modern world or whatever. I'm so sad that both are dead, I'm crying (TT___TT)
Honestly, I liked this drama overall. I had low expectations, but I did enjoy it.
The story was not bad, one thing led to another, and it did make sense at times. What was questionable was the relationship between Day and Itt. They were cute together, but their relationship is toxic and how they ended up together after all they went through is mind blowing.
I would never end up with someone, after all that, like revenge, violence, kidnapping, threats, ugly jealousy, etc, but anyway this is lakorn world and anything is possible. Anyway, me enjoying this lakorn after all that, is questionable as well, but whatever.
The other 3 couple relationships were questionable as well, but we barely saw anything about them or learnt much about them, so let's leave them at that. And we have a happy ending for all the couples, so let's take it as a happy ending without thinking much about it.
For the acting, it was questionable at times, but overall, it was not bad. I was mostly impressed by Lee Long Shi's acting. He was the best among all the male actors. His expressions and feelings for me were all on point. Frank was not bad.
The acting of the other male actors let's say that it was great that they were the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th couples and not the main leads. They were cute together and good for brief moments, but I don't think I would like to see them in main roles. That's my opinion and anyone can disagree, which is fine.
For the fighting scenes, for a low budget lakorn, they were quite good. I enjoyed them. For the whole production overall, it was not bad, and they did quite good.
Anyway, I do recommend this drama. It's a quick watch and do watch if you're curious about it. Just turn a blind eye to toxic relationships and go with low expectations and I think you can enjoy it.
The plot was nothing new or original, but it made sense, one thing followed another and since it was short it was fast paced. Yes, some things were fast and unexplained, but I did not mind.
The leads were cute and adorable together <3 I enjoyed it :D
Finished! Honestly, it wasn't bad overall. And I really loved the first 5 episodes.
However, after episode 6, it got draggy, lots of cheesy moments, WTH moments, questionable moments, serious moments that were forgotten quickly or glossed over it. But overall, it was not bad. Just turn off logic for this drama and just go with it.
At least, I really liked Gun and Cher together. They were cute and adorable together. They made me smile a lot <3
What I did not like was the part where Cher left Gun without any explanation. It was stupid. Like at least give him an explanation that he will be back and then Cher appeared like nothing happened and Gun accept him like nothing happened. I would be angry but like nothing happened. That made no sense to me.
Anyway, turn off logic and let's say it was a happy ending for everyone.
