Out of the 100 KDramas I've watched, this is one of the best
I was addicted from the very first episode.
Without giving too much away as I want to make this as spoiler-free a review as possible, I will tell you why you should watch this drama.
This drama is nothing like anything I'd watched before. I've seen a lot of dramas (even ones with body switching), but nothing kept me as gripped and guessing the entire way through with no idea which direction it would take. I went in without reading the plot, only knowing this had something to do with the supernatural and body switching. I am glad I watched the first episode without any expectation, but even if I had, it would probably still blow me away. The directing, acting, everything. From the first episode, you know all of the characters and their personalities, and from there you feel like you're on the journey with them figuring everything out and going through the pain/drama/acceptance with them. There was no way to predict anything.
This drama made me think deeply about the mind, body, soul, life, and death. Is the soul the owner of the body, or the body the owner of the soul? Complex questions like this kept appearing as I watched and I had to dig into my own self to see my own views and beliefs and whether I could agree with what choices the characters made, morally or personally. Without going into too much detail, I will just say that I felt everything fell into place perfectly and went the way it should have in regards to Song Hyun Chul, his parents, children, and both women.
In regards to that, Kim Myung Min BLEW ME AWAY. This actor. I can't give him enough kudos. His way of portraying Song Hyun Chul in all circumstances was fantastic. You believed he was the character, each one of them. I got chills watching him **SPOILER** switch between being the cook and then back to the original banker body's personality and then a combination peak through--you could tell by his subtle mannerisms, tone of voice, everything which Hyun Chul he embodied in each moment and it was absolutely breathtaking. **END SPOILER** I grew to be a big fan of him during this drama and am eager to watch more of his work.
If you are debating whether to watch, give it a chance. I was hooked from the first episode, and the show kept me on my toes and left me with no ability to guess the outcome. I love shows like that, and although the romance might not be as strong and obvious as other kdramas, I felt it, and the romance in this was deep. Very deep.
10/10, and the OST was beautiful as well.
