The trailer left me confused and sceptical but I’m glad to say that it doesn’t do this show justice at all!      

While Korn (played by Earth) technically travels with Lin’s body, he’s actually 100% aware that it’s actually Win inside. Additionally–and this is arguably the most crucial point—Win actually appears as Win in most scenes, especially when they’re alone. This means that many of the significant or somewhat romantic interactions actually show Korn conversing with Win.

The scenes tend to switch back and forth between Win and Lin (who’s really just Win in Lin’s body), but the good news is that the transitions between the two were done really smoothly. I know all this possibly sounds mindboggling, but trust me. You have to watch it to understand that it really works out just fine.

While most of the show relies on the body swap plot (plus villainous family members) to propel the story forward, little context is provided as to why characters behave the way they do. The story, as whole, ends up being kinda empty. Despite being supposedly good friends for so long, the depth of Win and Korn’s relationship also remains surprisingly shallow.

Here’s a plus point, though: If you thought Earth and Mix were super compatible in ATOTS, their chemistry only intensifies in CLW. At some point, their interactions feel so natural and authentic that you start to wonder if this is Korn and Win, or really just Earth and Mix bickering.
