Good entertainment
Things I love:
- The body swapping was actually fun
- The relationship progression between the leads felt so right. They went from enemies to friends to lovers in such a green flag way. There weren’t any weird misunderstandings, and unnecessary angst due to miscommunications. Their bantering and connection with each other felt very real. Lastly, they trusted each other!
- Altho source of contention, the ML’s parents weren’t portrayed as caricatures of the evil parents. They came across as flawed human beings.
- The shitty co-worker isn’t a caricature and actually had a redeeming quality.
- I appreciated the commentary on how poorly women are treated in the industry in comparison to their male counterparts for doing the same
- I also appreciated the commentary on how toxic idol culture
- The relationship between FL and her bestie is very cute
- The 2ML was a sympathetic character but not enough to give you 2ML syndrome
- Funny side characters
Dislikes
- the PPL was too much. Sometimes it felt like entire episodes were dedicated to bestore and that cold medicine brand
- The middle was kind of draggy
- The conditions for their body swaps didn’t feel consistent
- The ending re-contextualices the love story in a way that makes it lose its impact. Just because something is fiction doesn’t mean the viewer’s expectations for a satisfying resolution goes out the window. If you want the perfect ending stop watching at 32:41
