PLOT - I love the plot. A boy that gets his hands on a magical spoon that allows him to switch lives? That’s not gonna go wrong at all. This is going the way I pictured and yet not at the same time. The first ep will def hook you as it did for me and is great to binge.

CHARACTERS - Sungjae surprised me in this. This is my second drama with him(first was Mystic Pop Up Bar). He’s def one of the better idol actors I’ve seen and although isn't perfect he really suits this role. Juhee is nice but doesn’t really stand out as she seems too one-dimensional. Yeo Jin is very intriguing and conjures up more questions about her character as the show continues. Not really sure how to feel about her motivations but I won’t get into that cause I don’t wanna spoil. Taeyong is ok, but his attitude between all the switching is interesting. Taeyong’s father is someone who doesn’t care for things like love and instead finds fulfillment in the things that money brings him.

CONCLUSION - I think the moral of the story is simple and that is money isn’t everything. The protagonist’s dilemma is that he can live a better life with money but he realizes rather quickly the new problems that pursue in his newfound wealth. I do believe he loves his family, but his love of money begins to overcome him and it may end up costing him something he can’t buy back. Each time he chooses to trade lives with Taeyong, that is more time spent away from his family and the one person who loves him despite his situation--Juhee. Although money is important and can change one’s life, it would be a disservice to tell this type of story without exploring the downsides with wealth. If you're poor, you can be happy, but all you'll do is survive and nothing more. Only money for food and possibly shelter — no real luxuries.
You might not be happy if you are wealthy but you could travel far, make friends in high places, and be able to afford things that the average person can only dream of. However people around you will only think about you because of what you have, your trust in others may not be great, and you may even lose interest in spending money altogether(which is what Taeyong did). I’m not saying that being poor is necessarily “better” as every possible path in life has its pros and cons. But the warm unconditional love of family is a luxury that some people desperately need but don’t have. If you have everything but love the things you have hold no real value. Real love is a currency that can’t be exchanged.
