should you really watch this?
this show is insanely overrated. the actors and acting overall is good, but it’s your generic rom-com filled with cliches from every kdrama. imo, this is just a walmart ver. of WWWSK.this kdrama is wholesome and filled with cute moments, but everything was predictable. the characters lack depth, with one-dimensional personalities that fail to develop meaningfully throughout the series. the narrative, rather than offering unique twists, relies heavily on tired tropes, making it a dull experience for viewers like me who watch rom-com. overall, this kdrama struggles to stand out in any way, which is why my rating is so poor. i don’t recommend watching unless you like this type of kdrama.

first time viewers : should you watch this?
this kdrama is a personal favorite of mine. i've rewatched it over 2 times! although the plot is slow and dragged, it's very fun to watch, but it's not binge-worthy. i hate the love triangle in this drama though. i hate love triangles in any show or film, so it's just me.since one of my favorite actors lee do-hyun and hwang in-yeop acted in this, this was the reason i watched it. i wasn't disappointed, and their acting was phenomenal! the actress kim ha-neul didn't do badly in this either, but some scenes were just hard to watch.
if you like shows or films that have to do with traveling back to the past, body-switching, and things related to that, this is the perfect show for you.

unique tropes and dialogue
this is one of the most unique kdrama i’ve watched. honestly, i have never seen other kdramas that were similar to this one.let’s go in depth about the characters. the FL is way too clingy and annoying, which is why i dislike her. when the ML was pretending to be HOLO and the FL found out, was it that big of a deal that she got mad? another thing i hate, is that the FL acts like she made HOLO. true, she owned HOLO for quite some time, but that was only because of an inconvenience. when the ACTUAL owner wanted HOLO back, she refused to give it. i don’t know why, but i got pissed because of that. now, let’s talk about the ML. the ML is very likable. that’s all i have to say. his acting is really good, and i love how he portrayed the character go nan-do in this series.
what i like about this show is that there isn’t really a “love triangle.” HOLO and the ML are literally the same people, except for the fact that HOLO is an AI and acts more professional. HOLO felt uncomfortable while going on “dates” with the FL because he’s loyal to his actual owner, aka best friend (ML). it’s sad how something that’s not even a human being has more common sense than one.
overall, i could rewatch this show many times and still wouldn’t get bored. i definitely recommend watching this!

there are no flaws! A MUST-WATCH FOR NEW BL FANS!
the plot of this story was carried out extremely well. the acting overall was phenomenal, and i could hit the replay button on the kiss scene in ep. 7 so many times! the fact it was the actors who suggested the kiss scene makes it even better. their on-screen chemistry was intense.if you're a person who recently got into BL, this is the perfect drama for you to watch. additionally, if you're a person who likes the genre hate to love and dramas that focus on college life, this is just for you!
