When I started watching, I wasn't keen on yet another body swap story. But it's hard to find romantic lakorn without any supernatural cr*p, LOL. Also, this thing where the first woman's body died while her mind lived in the second woman's body, who died only mentally... How come her mind was pushed away? And while the first woman goes to deal with her husband, what about the second woman's husband and family? Seemed like an unfair swap.
Also with this cast, the sweet lovestory had this perhaps unintended, sexist undertone of the 43-year old guy getting his wife back in a body 16 years younger. As long as she has the same "soul", right? LOL.

Aom Piyada is in a guest role. Now, SHE would look more believable paired with Tui than both Jeab or Vill, but we're out of luck there.

First, the older woman is shown behaving often childish, and also crazy jealous. There's a childhood flashback of her being portrayed by Xiang Pornsroung (I think), which explains her jealousy. She shouts and laughs and is seen goofying with her kid. Probably for the purpose so it won't look so different when she's swapped with younger actress. Also, clearly so that she will be able to connect to the boy even in a different body, being on the same wavelength, singing self-created songs they shared, etc... I just found this whole idea a bit of a pitty. Jeab Sopitnapa was still beautiful, plus got more personality, so I didn't see really the reason that for this lovestory, she had to be replaced by a doll-like Vill Wannarot.

The younger woman's husband is a snake. Her dad seems good, though. It's cruel to him that his child dies. Or, just wakes up as a stranger and heads off to sort things with her man. So... Is this his punishment for being selfish and taking a heart from a dying patient? (I thought he would at least need the husband's consent.) It's funny the scene had onscreen notice that this was done for entertainment purposes only, with no intention of harming careers of doctors or nurses. Yeah, anything to keep the younger and prettier actress onscreen. That's what we, the audience, want, right? So why should we complain.

Also, from what I could gather, the person's mind in this series is connected with the organ heart, not the brain. Because the woman whose heart failed, her soul died. The woman whose brain died but her heart was salvaged, was able to transfer her soul to another body. In most sci-fi I previously watched, it was the brain that was the mind/soul's carrier, lol. But hey, it's a romance, so it's the heart (the name of this series is: New Body, Old Heart). It's actually weird that instead of brain, thoughts and feelings should be associated with the muscle-y blood pump, but to associate romance with the heart is traditional. Not a failure of this series. Still, I couldn't help but smirk when I imagined someone who's scheduled to undergo heart transplantation watching this show and getting nervous whether they'll wake up as somebody else, lol.

So, the woman, for the rest of the series called Lan, is actually Pat. Her husband first says his goodbye to her old corpse. Then slowly discovers her again in new body. How, er... romantic. But first, she wakes up and tells Lan's father (a doctor) who she is. He asks her many questions to test her, she answers all of them. As she has all Pat's memories (stored in her brain... no! her heart, obviously, lol). Lan's father is kinda creepy at first, asking her to stay with him anyways, so he can be close to his daughter's body. I thought just the body wasn't what made his daughter. Her snake husband just wanted money from her... Then, okay. I was able to accept the main heroine to just go and leave the younger woman's family behind. I decided to keep watching, because as a drama this had many things going. The young and inexperienced looking woman actually now had spunk, undying love for her kid, and bitter feelings of revenge towards her cheating not-really-widower husband. She decides to get into his life no matter how and when he'll last expect it from her new sweet face, kick him hard. I think Vill Wannarot is not bad actress, she should be able to deliver someone freshface looking/mature thinking, so it should be an enjoyable watch.

And... it is. Vill does a good job. It's intriguing to watch how well her character can handle everyone around her, as she is not as green as she physically looks like. And it's fun how she behaves brusquely with her new boss, her senior by both rank and age, because he's actually her husband. With the looks of a new young wide-eyed secretary, she knows the work better than him and she knows HIM to the last embarassing detail:) Definitely fun to watch. She's a bit too obvious when with her kid, but I chose to forgive it. One person whom she told who she really is and who actually believes it is her eccentric gay best friend, which is cute. Things with the father of the woman whose body she's now using were also resolved well.

So, it's all going quite well. The only problem is main heroine's plan for revenge. She intends to make her husband fall in love with the new young pretty woman, then break his heart and leave him. But that's hardly a good plan. Because, what about the kid, then? How can she leave the husband if now in her new body, she's got no rights to the kid? She NEEDS to stay with the guy. Then, she kind of forgets these plans, she tells almost everyone around who she is and it is a bit anticlimax how the truth gets revealed to her husband at last. Then the two skip into being happy together again and instead of working out their marriage issues, we focus on dealing with side-character antagonists (they transform into full-blown criminals for the corny "action final").

Still, as you've probably noticed during my review, no matter the difficult "logic", or the problematic beginning/ending, this show is mostly enjoyable to watch. It works for the fleshout characters. I had fun.

The second couple was also cute, I didn't like the guy but Yingying Sarucha was the most beautiful woman in this lakorn, in which ALL the women were beautiful (or was it May Sirin? so many beauties:) It was also fun to watch the bad girl and the bad guy together - they joined forces in their plotting - they so deserved each other:)
