Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Miss Night and Day '' is a fantasy romantic comedy with some mystery thrown in the mixture.The drama starts off pretty strongly, and it handles the fantasy element well and smoothly, embedding it nicely in the main plot.
The use of the mystery case, along with the romance which was sprinkled in it and wasn't the main focus of the story, thankfully, all worked in the story's favor.
However, the final episodes were not that good. The drama got messy and the fantasy element was awkwardly resolved.
On the other hand, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Transformation at Sunrise: Is it absurd or brilliant??
After watching this drama, I’m left with mixed emotions. Let’s start with the positives, though. One thing I genuinely liked was the character development of Lee Mi-jin. Her journey from frustration and hopelessness after failing the civil service exam to navigating a bizarre transformation kept me hooked. The whole concept of her becoming an older woman due to a magical cat was fresh and gave the show a fun, whimsical feel. The blend of fantasy and thriller elements also worked well, especially when it intersected with Gye Ji-ung’s missing women investigation. Watching the two worlds collide was intriguing.Another thing that stood out was the comedic relief provided by Lim Sun. She was hilarious, especially when Ji-ung and Ju Byeong-deok tried everything to make her quit, but she always turned things in her favour. Moments like those brought levity to the drama, which I appreciated.
However, I had quite a few dislikes, starting with the overly long and unnecessary scenes. For instance, Mi-jin could have saved herself so much trouble by revealing her secret to her parents and Ji-ung earlier. I mean, why keep sneaking out and hiding when a simple explanation could have resolved everything? That part felt dragged out just to add artificial tension.
Another aspect that bothered me was how the storyline around the killer was handled. Once the killer was identified, the drama lost its intensity. The conversations between Mi-jin and the killer were overly drawn-out, and it grated on my nerves how much time was wasted on pointless back-and-forths. It felt like filler, especially when you’re waiting for the action to move forward.
Also, I was annoyed by some character decisions. Like when Mi-jin runs off to confront the killer without calling the police—why?
Finally, the chemistry between Mi-jin and Ji-ung wasn’t as strong as I hoped. The moments they shared didn’t feel natural, and their relationship lacked depth. It’s disappointing because I had high expectations for them. On the other hand, Ko Won’s affection for Mi-jin felt more genuine, but he sort of disappeared in some episodes towards the end.
In summary, while the drama had its charming moments and an intriguing concept, some parts felt unnecessarily stretched, and the tension fizzled out towards the end. Nonetheless, it’s still a drama that kept me invested despite its flaws.

Hilarious part was great but thriller fell short
LIKEByeong Deok's he saw Im Sun and Ko Won together for the first time at canteen - OMG hahaah
When Ko Won mentioned during his interview he does not mind a girlfriend of 10 years difference and Byeong Deok's reaction after that
When Ji Ung and Byeong Deok were trying to make Im Sun resigns from her admin job by giving her impossible tasks to finish
A little plot twist here and there trying to let me guess which was good
DISLIKE

Female characters - Im Sun, Mi Jin, Im Cheong - steal the thunder!
Having completed Emergency Couple a few months ago, I was excited to learn about Choi Jin Hyuk's new project Miss Night and Day.What I liked:
1) Pacing - I only started watching this show when it had already aired 6 episodes. So I binged all 6 episodes on a Sunday. Overall, I enjoyed the first 12 episodes of the series as it was refreshing, fast-paced.
2) Lee Jung Eun - It's wonderful to see her in a main role (loved her in Strangers from Hell, Fight for My Way)! Brilliantly cast. Despite the age discrimination against her, Im Sun is smart, capable and unintentionally funny.
3) Supporting characters - I really like Mi Jin's parents, Ko Won and Mr Ju. Jung Young Joo looked bold & beautiful in red lipstick. Delighted that Ko Won has some depth in the middle of the series.
4) Ageism - It's good to see a series that shows age discrimination especially now that most countries have ageing population. The scenes were hurtful but that's the reality of our society.
5) Songs - I love the theme song She's back by The Vane as it is more rock-ish. I also like BOYSNEXTDOOR's Lucky Charms - it's so Im Sun!
What I disliked:
1) Romance - I didn't like pairing of Mi Jin and Ji Ung because I didn't feel much spark between the characters. Because of the body swapping, I see Mi Jin and Im Sun as 2 separate characters. I'd rather see Mi Jin and Ko Won as a romantic pair.
2) Writing - Since I like Ko Won a lot, I was disappointed that he didn't get much screen time after the confession. I am also frustrated by the mystery part of this series because last quarter of series was saturated with many arcs - murder mystery (wah the red herring), romance, body swap dilemma.
Favourite scene:
When Ko Won covered Mi Jin as she transformed into Im Sun.

Happy end
Tertarik nonton kdrama ini karena lewat beberapa klip di medsos, nyeritain tentang seorang cewe yang berubah jadi tua di pagi hari dan berubah jadi diri nya sendiri di malam hari. Aku paling suka sama karakter Ko Won, baik bangettttt selalu ada untuk Mijin. Dia yang perama tau kalau Mijin berubah jadi ajumma. Untuk karakter Mijin nih sangat pemberani yahh... tapi agak sedikit kesel dan greget pas scene dia ngebuka dokumen.Untuk drama nya oke lah walau ada scene yang canggung plot nya juga oke, kaya gak nyangka ternyata si pembunuhnya orang itu. Ending nya juga buat penonton nangis karena perpisahan Mijin & Lim Sun. Happy ending juga untuk Jiwoong Mijin.
Dan untuk cp yang tidak terduga Gayeong & Byeong Deok SELAMATTTT

I really loved this K-drama.
I just finished episode 13, and I’m writing this review while watching the K-drama because I forget what I watched after I finish it anyway. This K-drama is sooo underrated. The acting was so good!! The male lead actor—I think I've seen him somewhere before—and his acting is so good to me, as well as the female lead!! I will definitely find their past K-dramas.Let’s start with some things I liked. I liked that they included something about what idols go through, showing that even people with money can have a difficult life. The plot, I think, is something new (with the grandma and returning to herself), and while the murder aspect isn’t something new, this K-drama was hella funny to me!! I had so much laughter! Also, the friend of the female lead—I loved her character so much. It made me happy that she was the first to know about the female lead’s secret. There isn’t anything else that comes to mind to add at the moment.
Some things I didn’t like: Why are Netflix writers always trying to sneak in a love triangle even though it’s clear who the end game is?? There was no need! I wish they would have made the second male lead have a relationship with the female lead’s friend. I don’t know if I am right, but until now, isn’t he basically stalking the female lead? (Kinda.) Unnecessary again! The start of the K-drama was good, but halfway through, it had a downfall, and then as it goes to the end, it starts to become fine. I hate how the male lead and female lead can’t communicate. I am damn sure if they had a proper conversation, they could have gotten closer faster. I hate how writers always use the trope of the main characters getting drunk to communicate. Can’t they do it normally? Lastly, why is it that in these types of situations in K-dramas, the male lead always finds out on his own?? Can’t you just tell him? (Of course, it’s not that deep.)
My opinion on episode 13: I was not surprised by the plot twist, but I did not suspect her at all.
Ohhh, I love the female lead's friend!!!! She is so supportive, and the fact that she comforted the female lead and encouraged her to tell everything?! Makes me love her even more. But the only thing I don’t like is that they made her fall in love with the (I don’t know his name) male lead’s friend. Like, the main actor for the male lead seems older, but not in a bad way, but the male lead’s friend seems to be in his 50s?? Are we being for real?!
Finished. I like the ending. I am happy that every important character got their ending, and we saw it. The only disappointment for me is the male lead’s friend and the female lead’s friend. It just doesn’t go together. He seems to be in his 50s, and she seems to be in her 30s or even younger. I really loved this K-drama. It deserves more recognition.

A comedy that will make you laugh and think
Miss Day and Night is a drama that offers plenty of laughs and fun, making it perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a lighthearted story. The show blends humor, charming characters, and a flowing narrative that keeps the audience entertained without requiring deep emotional investment. What stood out to me was how the drama also made me reflect on the positive side of youth and the importance of living life to the fullest. In the last two episodes, the main character goes through a thought-provoking moment, contemplating the passage of time and the reality of aging.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Did I love it? Yes! Do I love it if I bench watch it ? No !
While watching weekly even simple mystery romance show became fun 😄 and i didn't care about the final episodes flaw because I had good time for whole time so I forgived.If I bench watch my whole mode is set in beginning and ending which in this case both are super rookie 😅. Since first episode is not explaining story or character it developed gradually and ending also did in a rushed way but in okay fashion.
Romance is little under utilisation because couple had a charm to me and second lead had no major role if you ask me.
Joke and mystery save the show. I really loved the show so excitly waited every weekend and the mystery was good 👍 instead of being there as source of fun they took it seriously.
I would recommend but don't watch it in one day because it will definitely lead into disappointing towards ending 😂

story plot is great, chemistry is off
I love the story concept. it's unique and refreshing. both actresses playing it well I love their acting. I dont know why and how but I really cant feel the chemistry of the main love interests. it's so off. I think they dont have enough build up because the girl can only became her true self at night. or i dont know honestly, i just think it's so unfortunate that the love story doesnt interest me. but overall, the story plot other than the love story is interesting!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Give it a Chance: Slow to Start-This Show Steals your Heart
It's slow at first. They are setting a dreary mood for sure ep 1-3, by episode 3 ending it warms up and the episode sets the pace. It has a plot that is cute and has those witty extras - the sub plot keeps a slow and steady interest. EP 5, So far the gruesome stuff hasnt repeated, and you see wheels turning in the prosecutors head, how much does he know... bonus look up the cast their ages add to the quirky humor of the producers.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Very entertaining crime comedy drama
I enjoyed this drama very much.though a known genre of body swapping. Its different as two fls swap their bodies here.both fls did amazing job.humour was situational. Amuzing to watch choi jin hyuk in drama with comedy touch.his self talk in mumbling serious tone give my stomach giggles. Fls friend and mls investigator colleague also added their own comedic element. Though a murder mystery plot,very humourous script.a little twist was there as compared to usual murder mystery k drama killers identity. Don't watch if u want pure crime investigation drama with serious plot.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Not worth the time
This drama has a really dumb female lead. I mean she's practically mentally challenged. I know with cultural differences this may be more normal for some. But, it's really difficult to watch. She can't complete one sentence. She mumbles. The romance makes no sense because he's an intelligent prosecutor and she has a brain of a five year old. Where can there be an attraction?? The older female lead does a much better job portraying a human woman. She's actually funny and her parts are usually the only ones worth the time. Of course if you want something so stupid that it's funny, this could be for you. Everyone looks for something different. And some people may think this is funny. I don't. I'm very disappointed because the idea had merit.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
