I have a love/hate relationship with shows that are tagged 'body-swap'. Because in most cases, the swapping leads to chaos and the story gets twisted and the ending would be unsatisfying. Mainly, other shows portray the effects of body-swap - like a boy in a girl's body getting periods, shopping issues, unaware of what to do being a different gender, etc. But, in this show, these things take a backseat. In fact, the two leads are pretty comfortable after the gender swap. The only thing that tells them apart is their mannerisms - Kagura walks with her legs stuck together when she becomes a guy and Yashiro walks with his legs spread after becoming a girl.
I liked the storytelling and plot execution the best in this show. Though there is very very mild romance...which occurs in the last episode only, I still loved the show. This might be the first time I loved the entire cast - there were no villains. Instead of focusing on what happens with the bodily changes, the show focuses on how our past relationships change once we are a different person, unrecognized by our family and friends. And this is what makes this show unique. There are times we ourselves have thought about being a different person, but have we ever considered what would happen to our loved ones if we did transform into a different person? Both Yashiro and Kagura regret it after the body-swap, when they realize how much they are loved by their families.
Another beautiful aspect of this show is it explained why the body-swap occurred with a backstory of the God. The backstory was an unexpected surprise for me. Other body-swapping dramas just make it a magical moment - like something happened accidentally and so the body-swap. And that always annoyed me. The backstory of God was so sad and the God's ending was even sadder - the last episode made me a crying mess.
I loved Rin's and Yashiro's(in Kagura's body) date. As someone with no friends, I always wanted to go on dates and do makeovers and shopping and have fun...so that scene made me cry. I loved everyone, but Ukon stole my heart. In fact, that chihuahua did a better acting than most of the professional actors out there. I am not a pet-person, but I have a soft spot for Ukon. And Ukon's ending also made me sad. Another thing I loved is that Kagura mentioned my country India to visit - and there was a complete scene of almost five minutes for it.
It was funny that everybody fell for Yashiro, despite him being in a different body. The show should be titled, 'In Yashiro's Favor'. LOL.
This is a must-watch. I recommend it. Even if you don't like BLs, you can go ahead and watch it.
BTW, the actors playing Yashiro and Kenta have their birthdays that are only two days apart! WOW!
