Where is this hot and toxic?
There were so much reviews Like " oh wow, toxic hot powerful, Drama" - so i gave it a try.And it was...
Quite average.
The main leads chemistry
was just not there, felt flat.
Doona was like "a baddie", but not really, if you watch the show you know what i mean.
The love story... I don't know- was just not something that blew my mind away, with acting, connection or originality.
The kpop thing was cool, but the potential was quite wasted, as the relationships between the characters, this topic was not shown in depth.
The ending was okay. I think it suited the flat relationship of the main characters and it is the most realistic ending, under this circumstances i guess.
The visuals and doona were pretty, music was okay.
Side couples were mediocre.
All in all - pretty average, would not watch again.

But this movie...
I was literally tied to the screen. No pink fluffy romance but nevertheless it goes straight to the heart.
The story was basically "nothing new", but the acting and the way they portrayed the characters in such a short time, make the movie fantastic. No long time wasted on unecessary dialogues, because mostly the facial expressions speak for them. It dont feel overdramated.
I dont like open endings this much, but it fits to the movie.
---> You should really give it a try. It is one of my favourite chinese movies.

Its okay.
To make it short.Story/Acting:
The drama is about a girl who is "ugly" and had no friends and switched the body with the popular "pretty" girl, against her will.
It has good performances and although its a body-swap drama, it feels quite new. Because the pretty girl who was swapped with is not you typical mean bully-pretty girl, but rather nice and heartwarming.
The characters were not that deep, but interesting enough to tie you (for the short amount of episodes) to the screen.
Romance:
The love triangle was build up nice, but the ending was not satisfying for me. The ending felt rushed.
Music: Nothing special.
Rewatch: I dont know. The last 2 episodes had so much drama and repetition, that was getting pretty annoying, but thats my personal opinion. Too much whining.
overall 6/10

A brief look at emotional depedency
This drama was quite nice.It has begun with the "bad boy falls for a girl and changes" trope, which was (for its short length) nicely explained and didn't felt rushed. Furthermore it was a look at codependency, dealing with past trauma and making another person the centre of your world. The actors were good, especially the actress playing the traumatised girl. Even though it sometimes felt cheesy and over the top, it got me giggling and kicking my feet.
7/10

It's more than okay.
What would you do with the power of a kiss that can bring you back in Time?Story/Acting: Kentos perfomance was amazing. He was not annoying or overacting and switched the emotions (of being a scum) just right.
The other cast did great too, the characters felt real.
His relationship with "Saiko" (the killing-kiss girl) was special. Although it wasn't explored that much and you did not get the cringy lovey dovey scenes, the connection between this two was very strong.
Music: The music is so great. The ost is "sayonara elegy by Masaki suda".
Ending: Fits the drama perfect.
Go and watch it <3

- a dark and passionate drama with lies and intrigues, around a bet to trick a girl.
What it finally was?
- a very good beginning and then....
a super fluffy romance drama with all korean-love cliches and annoying breakups. the plot got lost in the drama.
The acting was okay.
The music was okay.
But it was hard to get this drama done, so yeah...
Overall I think its not worth to watch and i dont agree with the hype.

It's not perfect- but it's soooo great
The first episode was rather slow.The pacing was not perfect. "Last Dance" is getting annoying after a bit.
But no other drama has ever emotionally moved me like this. The acting, the chemistry, the portrayal of a long relationship, the story, the complexity.
At the end tears ran down my face. I have already seen this two times and i will probably watch it again.
10/10
