Hilarious soul-swapping short show

This one had me switching between slapping my knees and drying off my tears of laughter. It was that funny to start with. Later on it had its serious moments as the story deepend. It was sometimes too fast paced - except for the scene where the Prince rides past FL (ep 1 before soul-swapping), which was in slow-motion, LOL, but luckily it’s possible to slow down the pace of the video. The storyline was interesting and the way the two interact and fall in love with each other while helping the other part in (for ML) discovering the truth and (for FL) achieve a lifelong goal is heartwarming.
Character wise:
FL is a kind but headstrong young woman who’s only wish is to marry the Crown Prince.
ML is one of four outstanding assassins who falls into a conspiracy involving the royal family and the most powerful minister.
2ML is a kind and clever Crown Prince who has his own agenda.
FLs father must be the most supportive I’ve seen so far. He is so sweet and fights for what his daughter wants in life, “If there is anything unhappy in your heart, pour all the bitter water to dad” had my heart bleeding.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the way the two main leads play their roles is very, very well. Only thing is that the actress playing FL is very good in portraying a male but as a woman it was a bit lacking, perhaps due to the directing and the fact that she actually wasn’t that feminine to begin with (the role not the actress).
So, if you love a good soul-swapping romantic comedy, this is a “Must Watch”.

Great acting, very funny first half

This miniseries deserves a higher rating.
The acting was top notch.
The story was unique.
The male lead was very good and very funny.
The female lead was excellent.
The supporting cast fulfilled their assignments.
It was all in all very entertaining; a good lightweight drama for an afternoon or evening.

Goes from mediocre, cringe, to brilliant...

I pretty much decided to drop this after the 2nd, or maybe 3rd ep, I forget—because the mediocre and cringe part of this review's subject headline is what I felt about the series especially with the cringy parts of the FL and ML encounters, but after coming here and reading the positive reviews, decided to give it another go, and boy, am I glad I did, because in no time, the series headed into brilliant territory—that is, when the swicheroo took place. There were some plot holes, but not important enough to what plot there was in this series that ended up being so lol hilarious, which made it easy to care for the characters, well, the ML, SML, and the FL. I even liked the SFL princess, and honestly it's too bad they didn't develop her part a little more, like parallel to what was happening for the crown prince, and give some screen time with all the respective not-meant-to-be couples in their switched back parts (gender ambiguity hijinks would be nice to see a bit of). I also loved what seemed to be another facet to the SML at the end that seemed to hint at intriguing story arc possibilities for a season 2—well, that and some other things that didn't seem to get resolved by the end of this series. Fingers crossed...
