A round of applause for this cast

Going into this series, I was a little worried I'd get confused with the body swap but I was glad that Korn and Non knew right off the bat that Win was in Lin's body so there was no hidden identity between the mains. It was portrayed really well and some of the panning shots where one moment it's Lin's body and then it's Win's body were done really well. They did it just enough times to remind us of the situation but it was also used really well to bring out comedic sides of the story. (Like when Lin locks herself in the bathroom and then just after when Win is experiencing PMS in the car by arguing and getting emotional, all the while Korn is sitting there like "WTF is happening right now?" Yet every woman watching the show is in stitches because, well, you know... some of the best comedy comes from the truth.)

Speaking of which, I know this is a BL, but I was so incredibly impressed by Jan's performance. She was two completely opposite sides of the spectrum.. the hot-headed Win and then the mild, meek Lin. By the time Lin woke up in Win's body, we really didn't see much of Mix's ability to play that side of Lin before they fixed everything back to normal. But honestly, I don't think it was needed since Jan did a stellar job that really no one needed to compete with.

I'd read reviews and comments before starting where everyone was badmouthing the Aunt, Uncle and Mother. The Aunt and Uncle were obviously horrible people from the moment you meet them but I found I watched the series waiting to see what was wrong with the mom to make everyone hate her. Just know, you don't find out until the very last episode and don't bother trying to pick apart or overthink her actions throughout the show because it barely hints at her mistake. And that's the thing.. it was a mistake which she regretted almost immediately. Win also made a mistake by jumping to conclusions instead of simply asking and listening. Korn made a mistake by not telling him the truth sooner. Everyone makes mistakes.

This was a great blend of drama, comedy with a hint of adventure going on. I especially liked how it was set out in the country instead of in the middle of a city. The cinematography was beautiful and it makes me want to go see it in person. BL lovers should definitely give this a shot, it was so good.
