Bodyswap
One of my favourite tags, when done right.
Here's a list of various Bodyswap dramas in no particular order
KEY:
"Full Bodyswap"= 2 characters (minimum) swap bodies and both are active characters in the show, while swapped.
"Half Bodyswap" = Two characters swap bodies but only one character is an active character, or, Two characters share one body, or just any bodyswap where for most of the show, we only see one of the swapped characters, and not the other.

1. Two Cops
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Half bodyswap.
A cop and a conman share the cop's body.
When the cop is awake in his own body, he sees the conman like normal (however, only the cop can see or hear the conman).
When the conman is "possessing" the cop's body, the cop is kinda just "unconcious" within himself. Basically, if the conman is in the cop's body, the cop is nowhere and he cannot interact with the conman until the conman leaves his body again.

2. The Shipper
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Half Bodyswap
A girl swaps bodies with a boy from her school, after they both are in a motorbike crash.
As the show focuses solely on the girl who is stuck in the boy's body, this does not count as a full bodyswap

3. Cupid's Last Wish
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Half Bodyswap
A guy swaps bodies with his sister after a car crash.
The show focuses on the guy in his sister's body (although like 90% of the time, it's the guy's actor playing him, and not the sister's actress).

4. Switched
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
Full Bodyswap
A well-liked girl is forced to switch bodies with a loner girl from her class.
This series not only features both bodyswapped girls enough to count as a full bodyswap, but also bodyswaps between other characters

5. Vice Versa
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Unsure yet, whether i'd call this half or full bodyswap as only one episode has aired as i write this
Two guys swap bodies with two other guys in a parallel universe
