kdramacrazy's Thoughts:

[Note : This post reflects the opinions of the author, and not necessarily those of�allkpop.]

I'm in love with not only the Kyung Joon-Da Ran couple, but the twists and turns the Hong sisters are bringing from the 1 year time skip: Ma Ri discovering the truth, and then the everchanging image of Yoon Jae. The unique take with Kyung Joon maturing over the one year, in the body of the man that Da Ran dislikes the most can take viewers anywhere and pretty much leaves me questioning the ending. I like how Da Ran couldn't easily break with Yoon Jae, because it would both belittle the value of love and attachment she had with Yoon Jae, and it still leaves that thorny branch of Yoon Jae's true image and heart. I praise the Hong sisters for taking the Kyung Joon-Da Ran couple to the next level with the new twist of Yoon Jae being somewhat distant to Da Ran right now. Because although their relationship was full of hot chemistry in the beginning, it left viewers questioning Da Ran's faithfulness as she was an engaged woman. Now, Da Ran can begin to distinguish Kyung Joon and Yoon Jae, and when her heart flutters, she can start to draw a line between the two.

What I am not in love with is all the filler and straying from the plot, from Yoon Jae's mother to Kyung Joon's relatives. I know there's probably a lot more to Yoon Jae's family, but I feel like any scene devoted to her and Se Young is minutes wasted that could have spent more on Kyung Joon and Da Ran, Kyung Joon maturing, or discovering the truth behind the body switching. The scenes have �felt so repetitive with the two trying to find ways to get "Yoon Jae" back with Se Young. Apart from the cliffhangers and the scenes with the two main characters, I feel like I'm not truly hooked on this show yet though I'm enjoying it for its cute and heartbreaking moments. I'm actually quite interested in the excitement and energy it would bring if "Kyung Joon's body" woke up with Yoon Jae in it and see the sparks fly. But right now, I'll just satisfy myself with the chemistry and trying to figure out the truth behind Yoon Jae.
