Miss Night and Day (2024)

Very entertaining crime comedy drama

I enjoyed this drama very much.though a known genre of body swapping. Its different as two fls swap their bodies here.both fls did amazing job.humour was situational. Amuzing to watch choi jin hyuk in drama with comedy touch.his self talk in mumbling serious tone give my stomach giggles. Fls friend and mls investigator colleague also added their own comedic element. Though a murder mystery plot,very humourous script.a little twist was there as compared to usual murder mystery k drama killers identity. Don't watch if u want pure crime investigation drama with serious plot.

Not worth the time

This drama has a really dumb female lead. I mean she's practically mentally challenged. I know with cultural differences this may be more normal for some. But, it's really difficult to watch. She can't complete one sentence. She mumbles. The romance makes no sense because he's an intelligent prosecutor and she has a brain of a five year old. Where can there be an attraction?? The older female lead does a much better job portraying a human woman. She's actually funny and her parts are usually the only ones worth the time. Of course if you want something so stupid that it's funny, this could be for you. Everyone looks for something different. And some people may think this is funny. I don't. I'm very disappointed because the idea had merit.

Mi Jin is on the verge of reaching thirty but has yet to crack her dream civil service job. In the process, she gets scammed and bumps into Prosecutor Gyu, who is harboring a dark secret in his sleeve.

Review

What is the benefit of working so hard?

This is the question Mi-Jin asks herself when she fails the civil service examination again. In her last ten years, she did nothing other than study for it. But all she got in return was to hear that she is in her thirties now, without any experience, so getting a job is difficult. Her best friend Chon Hui is her only confidante. Her never-ending plight takes an unprecedented turn when she finds herself in the body of a fifty-year-old woman every morning and only returns to her true self at night. In between a serial killer is on the loose.

Helmed by Strong Girl Bong Soon director Lee Hyung Min, the story is a perfect blend of romantic comedy with a big dose of horror. Mi Jin is strong and has an effervescent attitude. Even in the darkest hour of her life, she chose to live. This is where director Lee plays his cards. He never makes the story monotonous and cold. In the process of looking for the serial killer, Prosecutor Gyu and Mi Jin form a bond and even find solace in each other. The journey of love is not cliche but resonates with the life of this genre. The mother of Mi Jin resembles Bong Soon- she wants to see her daughter settled and is unaware of her true condition. They are sweet but self-centric. A supportive yet spineless father and an unannounced second lead in the form of idol Jo Won make the tale intricate and intriguing.

Reply 1997 girl Eun Ji is brilliant as the night girl Mi Jin. Her banter with her friend, feeling attracted to the charming prosecutor - the girl brings out all effortlessly as always. Lee Jin Eun as fifty-year-old Lim Sun- the alternate identity of Mi Jin is the twist of the tale. The woman who mostly dons the character of a helpless mother has brought out the invisible kitty from her bag. Her enactment of the twenty-eight-year-old in body of fifty is hilarious and melancholic. Jin Hyuk as prosecutor Gye is remarkable. The man is one of the versatile actors in the Korean drama case. He knows what he is doing. He is effortlessly hot and equally cold - which is needed for this dark role. The supporting cast adds humor mostly, but Byung Hee Ajushhi is the cherry on top.

Conclusion

Korean drama directors always do brilliant in bringing out supernatural stories. This Miss Day and Night is no different again. A fantasy element packed in delving into solving a cold crime case is not just magnificent but more than that.

Nice at first, but the story seems getting different

I was excited to watch the drama since it was fun watching clips in tiktok. Yet as the episodes go by, it's getting boring. I felt like Lim Sun and Lee Mi Jin has different personalities or different person. I felt like when Mi Jin appears, Lim Sun seems gone, like they act like different person when they supposed to be somewhat act like a same person.
Also kinda shock who really is the kill*r, yet I felt like it doesn't make any sense of her to kill someone. How she could kill that disable senior. They didn't give a reason why. How a person with experience of killing 4 people can be easily defeated, also how Mi Jin just left him hanging. How he wanted her. Kinda also weird how he couldn't sense that Lim Sun is Mi Jin and took years to know.
Also I couldn't understand why, how did she change and how did she change back completely. Also kinda annoyed how they didn't give more screen time of Mi Jin and Ji Ung dating. I'm still annoyed. But the cat seems like added without any reason who really it is, but the cat is cute, the pouch looks like going to touch the ground while walking.

you have to be patient

I'm at episode 14 and want to admit that it took me a while to keep watching, mainly because I had nothing else to watch. The beginning felt slow and didn't capture my interest. However, once the two main characters finally started interacting, I began to enjoy it more. Their chemistry brought some much-needed life to the series.That being said, I feel that the main story started very late, and as a viewer, connecting with the two main female characters wasn't easy. Their development felt lacking early on, making it hard to engage with their journeys. It's a shame because the potential was there, but it took too long to unfold.

Fun to watch though some parts could have been better

I loved the idea of a middle aged lady getting a job and being appreciated for the same skills that the younger lady was not. It showcases how society is not utilising the huge potential of the younger generation.
The crime angle , the various crimes that links to it, is also interesting and gives a freshness to the story.

The female leads ability to handle all her jobs well is also fun. But that is the only thing that i cam say has been good about this whole thing.


The actors all are awesome, but the female leads script makes me upset.

For a person who supposedly attempted the civil services for so many years, how could she be so dumb, with no common sense at certain parts of the story.

And some parts dont even feel funny anymore. That I almost feel sorry for the female actors for having to act out the scene. Its not even slapstick comedy more of a cringe comedy.


Edit : I have reached episode 7 and am wondering if its worth my time. I tried to fast forward the embarassing storyline but still am on the precipice of deciding to take the leap or not. To drop or not.


Spoiler

.
.
.

The major ones are

The first, was getting scammed and on top of that giving her bank book

Secondly,
I get that the car was supposed to almost hit her , but that doesnt mean she had to stand on the middle of the road while checking some papers that were not even hers.
And the male lead just had to keep screaming her name so that the killer can record her name in his memory. Ughhh.
Also mentioning that since she stays nearby and she knows every tree and rock in the place that she has nothing to fear going out at night and this same lady seems to forget that her aunt is still missing.

Thirdly,
The male lead gave her safety tools for defense and ahe was like , why dont I just call the police instead. Is she living in a dream world, where the killer is gonna wait until she is able to call the police.

So stupid

Also the scene where the friend receives gifts from the singer as a Thank you.
She kept the door open with the so called manager who didnt even give her his card, while she checked on the gift outside her window.
She is lucky that guy was actually a manager and not some stalker.

And then the fourth episode, why in the world would she volunteer to get into the club even while knowing she was gonna change into her younger self at night.

And also going in and patting a guys body to check for patches lol. Trying to make it obvious. How in the world sis the FL ever think she would get hired in a responsible job.

Plus the older Fl , keeps dancing while mopping or even the simplest of jobs, while the younger Fl never seems to dance.
I mean if I get a job that I really wanted , on the first day, would I put music and start dancing in the corridor where prosecutors work.

I mean one minute she is a superwoman able to type stacks of papers and do coding , with enough knowledge on computer skills. The next minute she is a helpless pup who cant even cross the road without someones help.
The Female leads - both the younger one and the older one are awesome . But somehow the lines given to them is just sad.

I can use fantasy as an excuse but too much stupidity is impossible for me to excuse.i mean there were other parts of the story that had inconsistencies but these were the worst.

I will get back on episode 5 and hopefully there wont be any further frustrations coz I really like the actors, the leads and even the story line. It is quite fun.


But please stop making the Fls so clumsy and ignorant of this world. I cant even think of it as innocence but plain ignorance.

Tenia años sin reírme tanto con un drama....

Tenia años sin reírme tanto... y sin llorar con un drama. Al principio no estaba muy convencida, los actores no me parecían muy atractivos y hay que admitirlo, muchas veces es la principal razón por la cual vemos un drama, por que la protagonista es super linda o el protagonista es de en sueño. PERO debo confesar que soy fan de este tipo de temática: cambio de cuerpo, cambio de tiempo-espacio o viajes en el tiempo, algo que sea fuera de lo normal y que se preste para situaciones de comedia.

El drama me atrapo, termine amando a la protagonista, y aunque definitivamente se pudo aprovechar mucho mejor y hubo momentos en que no tenia mucho sentido el plot, hay que pensar que... ESTAN CAMBIANDO DE CUERPO!!! ¿Por que lo demás tendría sentido?

El plot twist del villano me sorprendió, no lo venia venir, la temática de los crímenes mantiene el drama interesante, y el desarrollo de la protagonista es bueno, me pareció un personaje muy maduro y directo el cual disfrute mucho de acompañar durante el desarrollo de la historia.

¿Se los recomiendo? SI, es diferente, es divertido, ¡¡Y AME LA CANCION DEL OPENING!! Que también fue utilizada en situaciones chistosas, cada que empezaba me hacia reír.

Podia ter sido melhor

kdrama com uma história interessante, bons plots e muitas cenas cômicas, porém na reta final entrou na minha lista de dramas medianos. A artista que interpreta a Mi-Jin jovem é mediana, nada que atrapalhe a trama, mas que nos 3 últimos episódios ficou mais evidente. Inclusive o diretor atrapalhou o desenvolvimento da protagonista: não convenceu o fato dela ir sozinha ao encontro da assassina, dar bobeira num galpão vazio e escuro e ser capturada, deu preguiça. Também cansou assistir o episódio final ao ficar para os últimos instantes a volta definitiva da Mi-Jin
