Zippy banter and great comedic timing.

I really liked episode 2. And I was not surprised that Gong Yoo could pull off acting like a sassy, cocky 18 year old scoundrel. He is simply a fine actor all around...comedy or drama and his ability to switch lightening fast from one to another is what attracts me to watching anything he does.



I really enjoyed the banter between the two leads and both of their comedic timing. Of course Gong Yoo shined as he behaved confused, cocky or childish. The little touches...like his lack of skills in certain social situations really made me believe he was Gyung Joon.



I like where this is going plot wise. What exactly was Yoon Jae up to? It is looking as if he did not love Da Ran but did he like that other bratty beotchy girl? I'm okay with not knowing but my anxiousness to watch next week is a great sign! It means I am sticking around and I want to watch more! Go Hong Sisters...keep it up. I will keep watching!

Not as good as the second episode but fair enough!

After episode 2 I was left with two big questions.

First question was, who is the man with the map-watch? And the second question: is the phantom the same man with the map-watch?

The first question has been sort of answered. I know who the map-watch man is, but Im confused as to whether revealing part of his face was in fact done to show the viewer who is the actor (if you have seen him in other dramas then you will be able to tell who it is). Either way I still cannot tell if he is the phantom... that is the bigger question now. ;)

The suspense was kept on a high level, but the plot was moving kind of slow this episode.

I was a bit worried about how the main character (Hades) would act from now on, if we would see part of the old him from episode 1 or not in the new body. But So Ji-sub is a good actor so I had high hopes that it would turn out okay. I was glad to see bits of Hades in him, if only he would give me a smirk just like Choi Daniel :p

Overall, fairly good episode.

Uhhhh...

I thought this episode was rather boring. There were too many unnecessary screen-time for unnecessary characters.



I don't have much problem with the male lead, but I find he abuses his role quite a few times. He exaggerates a lot of his comedic reactions, and it can become silly. He doesn't seem very comfortable in his character. I like how he acts like a scammer which fits his role, but his expressions can do a little more work. They seem rather forced and unnatural.



Kim Sun Ah is great as usual. I love her, but her character isn't very interesting. She always seems grumpy. Instead of those futile supporting casts, maybe, develop her a little more? I know there has only been 3 episodes, but keep in mind that there are 16 episodes in total.



The storyline and character development seem all over the chart.

Gong Yoo gets a 10...for the last 10 minutes.

The last few minutes of the first episode MADE me want to watch this drama and stick it out for episode 2. As hot as I think Gong Yoo is...The reason I love him so much is his acting... And his portrayal of a confused kid in another man's body and reliving a tragic moment was PALPABLE. I could feel his pain, confusion and fear in that moment. As ridiculous as the scenario of switched bodies is...he pulled off those emotions perfectly! He nailed it and made me want to see more more more of that amazing acting.



I'm watching EP 2 now....just for him. A few other things did interest me:



Why was the Dr. Yoon Jae ssi so distracted and distant? What is the reason/the catalyst for this switch? What is going to be the outcome because it seems to me that in spirit...she seems to belong with the 18 year old more than the man. I know that sounds strange and my feeling could change as the episodes move along but right now...that is how I feel. That she is more kindred with the young man.

TY WRITERS FOR PUTTING ALL THAT SKIN OUT THERE FOR US VIEWERS

Well I laughed so freaking hard that my side hurts. This drama is rly good at throwing the comedy in @ just the right moment w/ all the serial scenes. I think Gong Yoo was the best pick for this roll. I love this drama not only b/c I get to look at his smoking hot body the whole time, but b/c Gong Yoo's acting is amazing. I don't think it would have worked as well w/ any other actor.



Very good story. I love that he tries to make her feel good even though he is just a kid. I love how he is like "I'm just a kid. How am I supposed to know?" then when there is something adult going on & he wants to do it. He is all like, "I'm in the body of an adult. So, I can." Wow awesome abuse of innocence & experience.



I can't wait till the next episodes to come out. Rly good so far!

What will happen next to Hee Jin and Boong Do?! Hee Jin was crying, Boong Do was crying, I was crying!!! poooooor Wol (still) I feel so bad for her! Poor everyone in this!! Just when everything was so perfect fate had to rip them apart.

Addicted!

I know people have been complaining about the inconsistencies after the switch of the soul, but keep in mind that we never got to see much of Kang Gyung Joon as a teenager. We saw him for like 3/4 of the first episode. So I don't really see it being a huge deal. Besides, most 18-year-old person who becomes an adult within a span of some hours are deem to abuse their status - haha.



This episode was hilarious! I knew Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung are naturals when it comes to these kind of roles. Rom-coms for them look so effortless because they seem to know what sways the audience. They're one of the top Korean rom-com actors, if not the top Korean rom-com King and Queen.



There are always subtle funny moments throughout episode 2. This is largely due to the actors.



The storyline is moving along nicely, but it's nothing too new. Though, I'm enjoying their take on it. I hope Yoon Jae's soul will participate in the drama as well. That will definitely be interesting.

Full of laughs

This episode was full of laughs! I loved watching Kyung Joon's character in Yoon Jae's body! But is it just me or did he become more playful after the switch? Slight switch in character but I suppose that's unavoidable seeing as they're played by two different actors. I particularly enjoyed the 'rock family' scene. I don't want to spoil so I won't elaborate but I literally laughed out loud there. Da Ran and Kyung Joon's scenes were adorable. I'm not shipping them yet though...I'm not sure why? But give me another episode or two and I might. Looking forward to Suzy's arrival. They haven't even met yet but I kind of ship her with Choong Sik, who I have a slight crush on myself. Overall, a very humorous and cute episode with the exception of some light drama here and there. Sure there will be much more of that to come! Looking forward to the next episode!
