Esta resenha pode conter spoilers
Another drama about a celebrity and a commoner. Not necessarily an anti-fan but a non-fan. Add to this a dash of the supernatural, body-swapping and you get a tropey drama. Stephen Zhang and Liang Jie were brilliant as the aloof idol Jiang Yi and the spritely entertainment reporter Yu Sheng. Their meticulous performance continues when they were purportedly inhabiting the other's body. What made me give this drama less than a full mark are a variety of factors. For one, the pacing is uneven, very slow in some parts, and quick to escalate on others. Secondly, the supporting characters had their own backstory and also, their own selfish agendas where I cannot feel for any of them, aside perhaps from Yu Sheng's parents. The second pairing is not a pairing at all, and it seems the writers tried just to grasp at straws to make the 2nd couple feasible. And finally, the most glaring error is the last 5 minutes of the drama, which threw the whole narrative into whack, and hence unforgivable in my eyes. Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Not Bad for a Gender Body Switchroo
We had this on our watchlist since last year, the trailer didn't look that compelling so it was postponed for a bit but I'm glad we decided to give it a try. Don't like to watch shows where the character is a celebrity or its about the entertainment business, its not interesting. This show managed to make it work. Don't bother trying to apply any logic, rationale, or thinking to the series and why the body switch occurs.The gist of it is an aloof male celebrity and an entertainment reporter do multiple body gender switchroos.
- Jokes, Jokes, and more Jokes. It pokes fun at itself, it makes fun of Asian drama cliches, and at celebrity idol culture and worship.
- Great chemistry between the leads and decent acting with the gender swap that happens repeatedly. The ML does overact sometimes during the swap. The development of their romance was good, a bit of a slow burn but a fair amount of hilarity in between. The part where the ML swapped with the FL and experiences his first period was pretty funny, of course he had to wear a white dress to top it all off.
- No long drawn out boring SML or SFL stories, the focus is mainly on the leads. It focuses on how they handle the gender body swap situations and their growing affection and attraction for each other.
Didn't really care for the backstory of the family dynamics of the ML, it felt like they were trying to force some trauma family story to add some complexity to his character and rationale for why he was moody and aloof.
I'd compare this series to kinda like going to an amusement park, its fun, its not part of normal life, and it takes your mind off all that studying you were supposed to do. I felt they were able to make it work between a male celebrity and a non celebrity average person because of the extraordinary circumstances that pushed them together.

One of the best realistic drama ever with the best kissing scenes
Honestly never seen a more realistic drama than this one everything was done perfectly. Being a celebrity really doesn't make things easy for one in this life, this drama also shows how celebrities live their lives, their fear, how they love and deal with their traumas as well. You get to see the fan culture. Notany will understand or like this drama but honestly the fact that it's so realistic should be one of the main reasons you should watch this drama. The actors played their parts seriously, be it when they are themselves or in each other's body. Liang Jie is really one versatile actress and her Co lead isn't far behind. It was a perfect drama with the perfect casts as well.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
It was delightful, makes you smile and swoon
It was really wonderful. The chemistry between the leads and the nature of their relationship. The witty humor throughout the story. Both the FL and ML were equally important to the plot and both were very well written. The FL was strong,bold and not the whiny ones we usually see . The ML was really sweet and despite what it seems like in the beginning the most thoughtful. The switch was so we'll handled at the perfect time for the plot . Although I personally liked it better when they were in their own bodies,made the relationship move wholesome .I especially liked how wholesome the relationship was and how naturally the seem to be in love .
All the characters were interesting in the own right and I would actually like to see a sequel on what happens between jia shu and tong hua . I'll just imagine they get together as well.
Absolutely worth recommending. Don't second guess, you will surely enjoy this one .

On hold...
I came for Steven Zhang and screenwriter Wang Xiong Cheng. I just finished Go Ahead so I was very excited to see that they had another show out there. I truly was excited seeing some of the same actors and actresses in this series but I am kicking myself after watching the first episode. I did not look to see who was cast or read the summary.First off, I have a very bias opinion of Liang Jie. I have seen two of her dramas and her acting just annoys the heck out of me. She has the same personality, characteristic and I just can't see her improvement so therefore I'm putting this on hold. I'm so disappointed and upset because I think this series would have been up my alley but they chose the wrong actress.
