In the end, "no man is an island". This is the lesson both ML and FL learned. This is the lesson dead gf wants them to learn, hence, she was given the task to body swap them.
It took them all of their body swap chances to learn this lesson, hence, she said, "This is your last chance." Last chance to learn the truth and last chance to learn you need each other.
If you look back to the beginning, they wouldn't get into all that trouble if they only communicated, shared information, and relied on each other. They almost destroyed each other in the process. ML can't move on and was blinded by bitterness. FL was haunted by guilt (the shadow), she alienated everyone around her, even her best friend hated her.
They both chose to be alone. ML was eaten by bitterness. FL was eaten by guilt.
When they swapped, eventually, that bitterness and guilt remained in their respective bodies, so, they each felt as well. This was theoretically correct if a body swap is possible, because bitterness and guilt are stored in the body's brain. So, when ML came into the FL's body, he became more friendly. The bitterness was gone. Eventually, he's started to feel the guilt (shadow) without fully understanding what, why.
Similarly, when the FL entered the ML's body, her already intense focus on her goal and alienating everyone was amplified by the bitterness in that body, making her fiercer than ever. It wasn't her per se, she wasn't aware she was accessing the bitterness in stored in that body.
So, yeah, I love how they kept the body swap as close to reality as possible. A consciousness/soul is bound to the biological situation of the body they're in. If the body is in a traumatic state, the new soul will experience it as well, and won't be able to just "change" it. The brain remembers, the body was programmed. A new soul will take time to reprogram it.
A softer soul, like the ML, will eventually succumbed to that body. This is why it was easy for the ML to fully embrace being a woman, and why he eventually felt the guilt eating him.
On the other hand, a strong soul like the FL, she unconsciously used the bitterness to her advantage, and eventually shaped the new body to what she needed.
Again, theoretically sound. A true fringe science. Nothing fantastical. No nonsense body swap tropes.
After you swapped bodies and seen each other's body's without actually getting h**ny, and shared your gender secrets (like having a monthly period), it would be a miracle if you don't fall in love, even without those kisses. 🤪
They practically bared their souls, and all their secrets, to each other. Something every couple, who can't body swap, are aiming for.
Btw the last kiss was all smiles and less kiss! 😅 Now I want their angsty kisses back in some Deleted scenes!…
I noticed that too. I'm assuming that this was actually the first kissing scene they filmed, so they can't help but try to control their laughter.
Still, a very good one. Most other actors will show their awkwardness and shyness on-screen. These two did not, it was as if they are real life couples who now have to show on-screen how they share a romantic kiss, and they're giggling all over at the idea/opportunity.
Does anyone know why this is listed as a special when this is clearly a drama?
Because MDL approval process is based on a moderator's personal prerogative. They don't have a guideline. If they do, they don't follow it and just do whatever they want, citing reasons like "I'm an old moderator so I know I'm everything". 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Oh, I didn't this show was listed here since it's an american production.Anyway, it's an amazing show. The male…
Same. I just discovered today it's listed here. MDL doesn't really have any consistency and guidelines. It's all about personal preferences by whichever moderator happens to process suvmissions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She doesn't act masculine enough. Instead of acting like a young man she acts like a young girl. The part is easier…
It's actually good. We don't need another body swap cliche.
You have to remember, a consciousness is a slave to the body it inhabits. Just because the consciousness was "male" most of its life, does it mean it can suddenly do manly stuff if swapped into a woman's body, and vice versa.
Also, it wasn't their brain that was swapped, just their consciousness or souls. In other words, they are indeed a slave to the body. The brain in each body is still wired the same, as a man and woman respectively. So whatever the soul wants to do, it is limited to how the brain was wired and trained by the original owner.
It will take time for the new consciousness to retrain that bidy.
Think of it this way. If you've been bedridden for almost a year, your body gets weaker. Once you are ready, you have to learn to do things again. Or, learn to walk in some cases.
The reason for that is again, the brain and the body. No matter how strong your consciousness is, you are a slave to the body you are inhabiting.
You act manly or womanly because of how your brain was wired and trained. It remembers it. The consciousness is simply the operator. So in a body swap as close to reality, a new consciousness have to retrain that new body.
Since they haven't exactly lived at least a year, not even months, in each other's bodies, it is correct that the bodies act the same.
I hope she's doing well after that project. For a first project, it was a very heavy one.

Well done. 10 stars.

Dead gf had two goals:
1. She was assigned to answer his prayers.
2. To guide him to move on and find a new gf.
She also knew how many swaps they are allowed. So, she planned it well.
