Good Drama

Sorry for the spelling. English is not my language and I have no time for proofreading.
I wont talk about some aspects, because already been discussed in the drama page.
I am NEUTREL, as long nobody insults me.
It is no masterpiece, but very enjoyable to watch and pulls you in very fast.
I know whell what it is about, but even if i am a bl writter, watcher and have friends in the community I CHOOSE to watch it.
I will only review the drama overall
Starting with the theme.
Who likes souls/body swaps i think this drama does a good job, especially the one who took a bullied 19 old teen body is an adult and not to forget, a gangster who met in his 47 years of his life a lot of difficult things to overcome.
I read some time ago that he does not act like one
First: each person is different. He wanted a change for himself, as he was attending to take the exam of his life, study wasnt his best.
He was kind with minors, women and even his gang who saw them as his family and so they did.
As he passed away he let a big gap in their life.
Now, the overall story.
I do like how he tried to step in and try to fix the life of the boy he took over
- making friends
- making him go to collage for a future
- family: here is harder, considering his mother is a drug and alchool addict mostly thanks to the father secretary.
Also, he took the job to make KSH independent from his father. A smart boy, but depressed, scared and anxiouse when came to the man who should had form him as an adult.
I like the bond between them
I think SML does sees the ML... in the drama, becsuse we know in the novel he had feelings for, as a father figure he never had in his life.
I like how the ML takes kids under his wing as he did with his gang.
The bond between them is made beautiful...
Comedy: beside some darker moments, the drsma has a lot of comedy too, mostly coming from the bully jim min, who always says the words wrong.
Hope he will redeem himself and see how much wrong he did.
The ost is good too.
Like ost 1, 2 and 3.
Overall great drama. Buget might not be high, but for me does not matter. The young cast does great.

Now, lets see how they will wrap it up and how they will make the real owmer act once it is coming back to the new changes in his life.


Watching the last epispdes, the ML tried anything but seems the original owner was to tired.
Considering they change the bl to bromance I was expecting this. To be honest I was rooting for the gangster.
Why?
He is kind, ready to help and seems he needed a second chance to life.
As the original owner, in the drama we only met him for few minutes and from.the eyes of the other characters.
We know he was deelply depressed and was sadly way to tired to fight for his life.
Overall a good drama.
If you are bl lover you find bromance
If you are not you find a deep friendship.
As a bl lover I saw the 2nd mostly due the gap between their ages.
As for those who will rate it 1 because they took out the bl, I do suggest after a good time to check it. You will find a good drama with a good bond between the leads
Check it and you wont feel sorry.
