Body swap and more!
I came across this drama precisely a year after it ended. I didn't even know it existed, but a dear MDL user suggested it and here i am!
First and foremost, it's a romantic comedy fantasy drama. Initially wanted to give it a 10, but the ending was with an unnecessary twist and that wasn't to my taste. Unlike many Cdramas i have watched till today, it's not cringey and it doesn't get draggy at all, which is a bonus. And, it's so light-hearted that you can relax and watch it. There are mishaps and adversaries, but they are solved eventually. In addition, it has no stiff love triangles! The leads only have eyes on each other.
Story:
I was kinda shocked to see a Cdrama with decent writing. Except for a few plots, most of the problems are addressed in the end and no loopholes are left. Some say the second leads should have been paid attention to, but i think not all friendships should turn into relationships and that was fine. I liked the body swap aspect, and it was elaborate enough to get invested in the story. Until then they decided to change the ending and make it realistic, rather than a fantasy drama. They could've stayed with the actuality of body swap happening to the leads and that was just beautiful.
Acting:
I was already familiar with Liang Jie in Eternal love and i was expecting to see some fun, naughty acting, which she delivered quite well. The ML, Zhang Xincheng, delivered a magnificent act. We get to see a shy, introverted guy with a traumatic past fall in love with an ordinary girl with a warm heart. The lead's acting and chemistry were 10/10 for me. Plus, they bring about the kiss scenes so genuine and beautiful that you can't take your eyes off them.
The second leads and supporting cast were decently portrayed.
Music:
I loved the pieces played throughout the show, especially "my soul" by steven zhang. He has such an angelic voice.
Chemistry:
I wanted to add this section, because i think it's as important as other aspects. nowadays, we get to see so many dramas where the leads have zero chemistry but go on kissing, hugging and etc. These two love birds actually have hot chemistry. Their love is believable and you get to feel the sorrow they are put in.
Overall, a pleasurable binge-watch for me. I will definitely go back and rewatch some of their lovey-dovey scenes.
