At first it was funny and engaging and I loved all the characters - even crazy Mari. But if I’m being real maybe I just had my Gong Yoo goggles on. Okay I admit maybe I watched this for him - I have the infinte amount of screechshots on my computer to prove it - but he honestly did such a good job with this character, it was impossible not to love this show at it’s onset. The premise and the way he interacted with every other character and made them better for it, was gold. The non-sensical plot building in the background was easily ignored, until it wasn’t. Until it ate and swallowed everything like a juggernaut with teeth and a hunger for chocolate abs and heartfelt connections. And then shit started to hit the fan with characters being ridiculous just for the sake of it. Suddenly out of the blue ultimatums sprung up - which I honestly should have expected from the Hong sisters but again I was blinded by Gong Yoo. Seriously if a store clerk is like you can only have pretzels or cheetos but you can’t have both, I’m gonna be like why the eff not, this is a free goddamn country I will eat both these salty snacks thank you very much. But in this show (or just the Hong sister universe) characters go “nooooo, I can’t have both. I’m going to be unsatisfied for the rest of my life.” And its like no, you can have both, open your eyes, the only person stopping you from having both is yourself ... and the store clerk I guess? Eff me this metaphor has gotten so convoluted - I watch too many hong sister dramas.
Anyway almost everything that happened as the conflict for this drama happened for no reason. I have never watched a drama with this many people who refused to be happy all for the sake of being unhappy. Literally nothing was stopping them from being together except for their bullshit. And the end? Idc that they didn’t show the real Kang Kyung Joon - cuz I watched this for Gong Yoo - but after all all that I couldn’t get one, fast forward where they were happy together? Whatever, fuck this.

What’s the point?
FINISHED.I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE POINT OF THIS DRAMA WAS OTHER THAN TO SHOWCASE WHAT A FANTASTIC ACTOR #GONGYOO IS AND HOW HE DOES CLOTHES A FAVOR BY WEARING THEM?
BUT THE STORY?? MEHHHH. From the constant back and forth feelings of the female lead, and ignoring what could have been a great storyline with them being brothers, and we just never know what happened to the doctor...and then Gong Yoo still appearing as KKJ after they switch back...? I obviously have questions. I still rated this better than a 4 because honestly Gong Yoo was fantastic in a comedic role and damnnnnn does oppa look ? in this one...but the story? This could have been like 4-6 episodes shorter.

And even though Lee Min Jung is really beautiful, she can act, she can cry, she is cute, but I am not convinced with her acting, she looked more of an easy, gullible lady for me in the series. She's nothing but a pretty face (sorry,that is how i felt)
And although Gong Yoo was handsome and all, I can not fall in love with his character as Kang Kyung-joon, how can he boast about his looks to GIl Da Ran while it was not his face in the first place.
I like him better as, Seo Yoon-jae, I mean, how can Gil Da Ran, just forget about him, who by the way was lying in the hospital inside a different body. A doctor who loves kids, a handsome doctor being chased by his fellow doctor but still managed to be faithful. Who was on his way to tell confess his feeling to you before he got into an accident, being in a comma after saving the guy, who happens to enjoy his handsome face and sexy body, only to find out that Gil Da Ran chose that Oh-Oh school boy??
I mean,,,what duh??? But again if you long to see Gong Yoo in his early 30s go ahead and watch this. You might like it, since some people do. , But,,, I really did not like the story. I still love Gong Yoo though! Handsome!

Mysterious and hilarious
LIKEWhen Kyung Joon (in Yoon Jae's body) went to look for Da Ran at school - what happened in the staff room omg ... I nearly fainted!! HAHAHHA
I prefer Kyung Joon and Da Ran to be together
When Kyung Joon asked his uncle about his mother - that moment the uncle (though a terrible person) still sided his own sister
DISLIKE
How Yoon Jae did not intend to share his problems with Da Ran
MUSIC - personal fav
Hateful person - Beast
REWATCH VALUE
Definitely a yes

First of all, Kang Kyung Joon is a horrible and egoist person. I get it that Mari was problematic and obsessed with him, but she never forced him to love her. She did everything she could to help him like a friend would, and yet, he treated her like she was a piece of garbage. Told her to forget him, that he never felt ANYTHING for her, not even gratitude. I wanted to punch him so hard, that was SO MEAN. Then you have a 30 year old woman dating an underage student, wow, that's really nice. Here you can see where Goblin's writer came up with the idea. (also, I just noticed that the same actor is in both dramas wth LMAO) And... What was that ending??????????? I wanted to know Dr. Seo's answer or, at least, what the hell happened to him. They basically deleted a character because he wasn't necessary anymore. This was honestly so bad. They didn't even gave him a chance to appear again to tell Kyung Joon to "fuck off, I save your life and you steal my fiancé". I thought Gong Yoo only did good roles, I was wrong. What a mess. Even though it was not his acting that ruined the show, his characters certainly did.

Another good KDrama however going to say the good and the bad.Good Points:
1.Excellent storyline which has stayed constant through the series.
2.Awesome casting.Gong Yoo really was a professional in this showing the deep contrast between 18/19 year old KKJ and YJ
3.The Mushy moments aren't that cheesy and horrible(BBUING BBUING Gosh loved that so much)
4.The relationship between the mains remind me of coffee prince(You will get it if you watch both shows)
5.If you analyse and watch the show it has alot of deep meanings.
6.Had to buy the OST ITS TOO DAMN GOOD(Its on spotify btw)
7.Different Ending
Bad Points:
1.Some episodes were a little redundant
2.Pity that one character(Not going to say the name as its a spoiler)PS;Sleeps
3.Decent chemistry
4.A number of irritating characters
5.Different Ending(Like a different ending)
6.Skippable conversations.

The story line was very touching and cute. For me it was a very good drama minus the ending. The ending made me very confused and angry. I personally felt that the ending didn't back up the purpose of the main actress' intentions/actions at all. I wish it didn't end up like that...
The OST was good, however nothing really stood out to me that. But it definitely brought out the drama more.
My suggestion is : DO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!
You can get a lot from it, it's definitely wroth watching. However just know that the last 5 mins or so just sucksss. And as long as your prepared for that, I think you'll be fine. If your big on ending, you probably should just skip the last episode... lol well anyways the rest of the drama is really good. Don't let the last 5 mins of the drama tell you otherwise.

as for gong yoo who plays yoon jae i dont know why but i have a feeling that he had a past with the nurse who seems jealous of the couple i m not so sure about his character yet of whether i like him or not bc of the way he treats da ran like always canceling on dates n all but he did meet her later n got into accident so i m not sure how i like his character yet
as for suzy not sure yet since she hasnt appear but seeing from the preview i can tell that she will play the girl that likes the guy like razy but he is really annnoy at her but it seems that da ran little bro has a crush for her>
