"Keep on walking"

Some odd moments in the first episode made me fall in love (yes it was the crowbar :D) . Amazing storytelling with a surprising plot. Some bittersweet themes. Interesting directing.

I liked how after each episode there was a word that kind of wrapped up what the theme for each episode was. These was also character growth and this really interesting vibe you get from visiting small cafes. Starting this I thought that I'm not that into slice of life dramas, but this one proved me wrong.

The OST was amazing!!!! I think this one had like three songs, but I liked to hear them all!!!

Medical drama that is more like a political mystery

This one is a slow burner with a interesting plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The way the character where written was amazing. Slowly you will be entangled in their lives and know things about them. There amazing everyday scenes where they talked as actual humans even if they where talking about big matters. Characters weren't actually evil, just gray, because there is evil and good in every one of us.

My only issue with this one was that I think it took many episodes for me to actually trust characters. I didn't really feel strongly about the characters until like episode 4 or so. Like it was hard to get into the mindset of one character.

+ extra points for showing how mentally ill people and paralyzed people can still live a successful normal life (= normalizing it)

The director did a great job ~

The main character had awesome character arc and I liked him so much! I l also really liked all the people from the village. The plot was inspiring. Romance was fine... kind of something you have probably seen before. For some reason most of the time I felt like there was still something missing.

There was some awesome shots and interesting editing. It sadly still had too many of those slow pretty moments that don't add anything to the story (sadly this seems o be in the style right now...They usually just make me wanna check my phone...)

My favorite episodes where #1, #5, and the last one (I wrote messy, long and detailed episode reviews from my journey)

"If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there, does it make a sound?"

It's a beautiful story about human connection and understanding each other. The story was touching and well acted. I liked the mix between the past and the present, and how the hair length was there to help us notice that.

I did have a hard time understanding that the scenes with the three men where just about the story of the play. It was a hard to notice that it was different from the main plot. But I still liked them because the story was interesting. I just wished that the difference would be more noticeable.

The OST suited the mood of the story. I liked that they used a lot of silence.

My favorite body switch drama (so far)!

I like how the story slowly wrapped open. Mystery was written really well!! The plot is original and interesting! It was so much more than just average body shift! Super entertaining and had me at the edge of my seat!

I didn't have high expectations for this. But it really started to be good in ep 3. Acting was amazing! I was really skeptical of Issei's way of acting after the switch, but after the while it does get more suitable for the character. I think Riku was my favorite character! The last episode was little lacking. It felt little bit like they tried to but a lot on the shoulders of the last episode.

It had couple of those "enhance" -scenes. Where police can do impossible things (e.g. finding what someone face looks like from their profile), which I don't like.

(When I first read the synopsis I thought this was a crime drama, but it doesn't even have the tag xD)

"Dismembering the concept of marriage"

This was interesting. It made me really think of marriage in lot of ways.

My favorite moments where all the imaginary scenes where FL told the story in her head through TV programs (or other types of media references)! Also all the scenes where the FL and ML work together to get the result they want. It makes this really pop and fun.

I feel like the story itself in theory isn't that interesting, but it was written and directed really well. I kind of just watched this out of curiosity and I feel like I didn't waste my time. However this explains why I first dropped this back in 2018.

But it's really worth a watch, especially if you are in a similar moment in your life!!

"People need someone with whom they can be truly selfish"

It's my 4th time of watching this. When I saw it first I rated it as 7 and about a year ago I rated it 8,5.

It has aged well. I saw this the first time when I was 15 and the themes didn't feel as important to me then. Now, when I'm older I can see the whole series in a new light. It deals with the stereotypical ideas of what being a woman/man should be, and it challenges it. The love story is really interesting and kind of odd, but also there is understandable circumstances. Some stereotypical moments, but they seemed to at least have original results.

I really liked your main character. She was really strong woman who was good at her job, but not that good with love or showing her emotions. "Momo" was a man that just wanted to live freely. He also seemed to have little identity crisis over all of this. Every character was faulty in some ways and did mistakes, but that just made me feel more closer to them (I really liked the counselor even if I'm not sure if he is that good with his job...). Main character's best friend was also awesome!

Editing was something you would except for an old drama (so not really that awesome...). It was so snappy and fast, so in terms of editing it never felt draggy. That being said I didn't really like how some of the dancing scenes where edited/filmed, but it was still ok.

For me, it really hit off after ep 6. Will probably rematch this again in the future!!

What a time to be alive!! <3

I feel like this is the true LGBTQ+ repesentation that we need. But for real it was so empowering and wholesome!!

The plot really got me. I was weeping a lot ':D and there was also lot of moments when I had to pause and be like "this is really happening ...". I know it's sold as romance but I think it's more about the main character being gay. Also it has some extrely crazy/funny moments that I think everyone needs in their lives. Not to mention the brothers looking out for eachother!

It might not be the best thing ever made but SO happy that it exists!!!!
