I wasn't too sure what to expect with this show - iQiyi originals can sometimes be a bit questionable and these were two actors I hadn't seen before. Their chemistry is so good, you can tell the actors are close friends in real life. The NC scenes were very well shot and there was no awkwardness whatsoever, UpPoom really set the bar high for more iQiyi originals!
Honestly, the plot was very far fetched and rather confusing but that might just be me forgetting what happened episode to episode as I watched it as it was released weekly. I got used to all the flashbacks and things after a while - I've seen other shows before where there was body/soul swapping and reincarnation so it wasn't too bad but this is probably a bit too out there if this is the first show you are watching with this type of plot.
Some of the storyline was a bit concerning (the kidnapping, Joe 2.0 getting hired by Ming, etc) but I like shows that aren't all sunshine and rainbows. I actually like that Joe forgave Ming, they did truly love each other and despite Ming's actions, his remorse was very evident. Many relationships in real life can be rebuilt from bad things and this show is an example of that. Instead of showing Ming as a villain forever, he had true personal growth that he even chose the man he loved over his father's money.
I did initially find it hard to accept that Joe never returns to his old body, but that's another beautiful thing that he rebuilds his life, doing everything for the woman who isn't even his real mother and she has no idea. It really shows you can find your own family and he adapted to his new situations as best as he could.
Basically, this show kept me on the edge of my seat and the acting was incredible - Up's portrayal of grief was brilliant and Mek was great at making Tong a hateable character that had you questioning whether to pity and forgive him in the last few episodes. Others may have concerns over aspects of the storyline (eg. glamourising blackmail etc) but life isn't perfect and all shows need aspects of morally grey areas, it's more realistic. Might need to give this a rewatch - also I need a little spin off of Secretary Jim and Mike RN!
