The chairman of Choiseong intends to retire and hand over his position to one of his twins—a brother and sister. While taking their father's car out for a joyride, the twins strike a young man who had just signed a contract to play for a team sponsored by the father's company.
After completing his rehabilitation—and having lost his contract in the process—the footballer confronts the CEO to demand an apology and compensation. Faced with evidence of the accident, the CEO writes a blank check and prepares to announce the resignation of the twins responsible. In a desperate attempt to stop him, the twins push him down the stairs. As he falls, he lands on the footballer; they tumble to the bottom together and wake up in the hospital having swapped bodies. Meanwhile, the chairman's third child—who had been sent abroad for her studies—returns home. The young man gets hired by the company, and together they work to expose the twins' wrongdoing.
So, without realizing it, the daughter ends up working with her father.
It’s entertaining to watch this newcomer’s knack for navigating various skills and strategies; Kudos to Lee Jun Young for his portrayal of the elderly character.
The music is sometimes ill-suited (it feels out of place).
Episode 9 is both sad and infuriating. The old man is killed by his daughter, causing the poor young man's soul to depart. This leaves the illegitimate daughter in charge of the empire, while the wife and younger daughter are devastated by the man's death (accused, cast out...); meanwhile, the young man plays a double game—trying to act mysterious and resolve the situation on his own—but is misunderstood by everyone, especially the younger daughter.
It’s touching to see how much he cares for his second wife.
I felt sorry for the young footballer: first he was run over, then someone tried to suffocate him, and finally, he died at the hands of the elderly CEO's daughter.
The ending: I can't believe it... A 70-year-old wakes up from a coma, rushes to get a car, and where does he go? He didn't even know where the chalet was, yet he’s the one who finds the young man. But the icing on the cake is the ending, where he bumps into a girl and swaps bodies with her again. That is just too much.
