Outstanding actors
I already knew a few of the actors, so as soon as I saw them, I got high expectations... I got to say that this drama gets better as it progresses, but it could've been better executed - they shouldn't have made Bomi such a bad person, because it was just impossible to like her, which was sad because her character development would've been perfect if they'd made her a good person with personality issues; this is where the writers failed, because since they made her a bad person, her character development didn't mean much. As for Yoori, the actress who played her, she couldn't have been more perfect - I was SO impressed! I don't think people realise how hard it is to cry uncontrollably while filming a comedy scene, and she did it so, so, so well! I absolutely loved her performance! She definitely made a fan out of me. Bom, on the other hand, was one of the sweetest characters I've ever seen, and Jiwon's performance was amazing as well. The same can be said for Hyungseok - OMG, I LOVED that character! He was everything and more! All the actors were outstanding.
I really appreciate the fact that some of the characters were adopted, and it was especially important to include Bomil in this story to represent all the Korean children who were adopted into other countries and had their identities erased.
Something that made absolutely no sense was the fact that they switched actual bodies rather than minds, but the way they switched faces was so well-done, it looked so real!
I loved the 'Secret Garden' reference, thank you so much for that!
[Warning: Spoiler ahead!]
I kept waiting for Lee Bom and Hyungseok to be together, but when the drama ended I was extremely disappointed - their story was honestly the best part of the plot, and Jiwon and Hyungseok had so much chemistry!
[End of spoiler]
To summarise, watch this drama for the acting and for the comedy, and don't expect too much - this isn't so bad that I'd consider it a 5/10, but it's also not extremely good, although it had the potential to be. I'd rewatch it for those reasons as well, but it's definitely not a drama that I'd rewatch many times.
Just a side note that the song is very fun, I liked it a lot.
