The guy is a real simp, he would be sooner or later dumped by her again. Also your comment seems like it was only…
Well, it was really the ex-boyfriend's fault. Why deny the reality?
I'm not talking about theoretical here, I am coming from experience. My first relationship, like the couple on this story, were similar if not the same. I took my ex for granted. She made the sacrifices for us. Until finally she had enough.
It took me years to realize she was right.
Did she not commit mistakes? Of course she did. Just like the FL in this story/show. But if you look at the bigger picture, if you take everything into consideration, it was the guy's fault, and any attempt to "balance" it out is only an excuse and a way to sympathize (wrongly) to the guy. That's like saying justifying "he forced to have sex with you because you are his girlfriend/wife". No. You cannot and should not force yourself on anyone, be it they're your romantic partner legally or not. Just like how you shouldn't take your romantic partner for granted.
So, no, in this case, it is the guy's fault through and through. The faults by the woman in this relationship are nothing and negligible, if you want to call it "faults". She did all she could to save their relationship.
Lastly, this isn't about man vs woman. I'm a straight guy. As I've said earlier, I had a similar, if not the same, relationship, and I am not ashamed to admit that it was my fault we broke up, in the same way that the guy in this story/show was at fault. If that elevator scene did not happen, their relationship will more likely end the way it did for us.
Again, this is not a case where both parties are equally at fault. Not even close.
Here we go again with the irresponsible and immature comments like: (a) it is unrealistic; and (b) the writer is dumb and should quit.
I. "The writer is dumb and should quit"
The solution is simple: write your own story and produce your own show that will prove that "the writer is dumb and should quit". If you can do better, then you are right, otherwise, it's just an irresponsible and immature comment.
II. "It is unrealistic"
In this show, the ending is being called out as "unrealistic". Some were honest enough to point out that the unrealistic part is them staying as friends and in the same circle.
It is NOT unrealistic at all.
There are a lot of ex-couples around the world who stayed friends and in the same circles after they broke up. Like my ex and I.
Are you indirectly telling us that we are "unrealistic" and "liars"?
Very, very, little. Contrary to what MDL listed, she's not a main character in this show. Since plays were “invented”, the criteria for a main character is they are at least 98% in every scene from beginning to end. She didn't even show up, not even as a voice actor, in half of the episodes.
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are you indirectly telling us that we are "unrealistic" and "liars"?
If you want a fairy tale, watch Disney not a K-drama, instead of attacking the writer who knows better than you how to write a story for the screen.
"How can they co-exist no the same friends group.."? Simple answer: they are two matured individuals who had a proper closure.
How did I know? Because I went through the same break up and we're close friends to this day, same circles, even attended the same church for years.
Don't tell me we are "not reasonable"? If so, then you are cancelling our existence and maturity.
Because if it is, then I guess my ex and I being close friends to this day is also unrealistic? If so, wow, cancelling our maturity.
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.
