A fascinating concept and a pair worth watching — if you can weather the drama
UpPoom are the clear highlight here — their chemistry is genuine and carries the series through its rougher patches. The central concept is also genuinely inventive: a stuntman who dies and wakes up in someone else's body, while the person who once saw him as nothing more than a replacement now does everything to get him back. That's a setup with real emotional weight behind it.
The series doesn't always know what to do with that weight though. It trips over itself at times — too much back and forth, too much drama stacked on drama, and the toxic undercurrents in the relationship dynamic wore me down more than they pulled me in. It's the kind of show that keeps testing your patience right when you're starting to settle in.
Still, it left a positive impression overall. The concept holds, the pairing delivers, and there's enough here to make it worth the ride — just maybe not without some eye-rolling along the way.
