Daddy You, Daughter Me

FAMILY MOVIE

●This body-swap drama was oddly hilarious and touching concurrently. With the daughter growing up, experiencing her teenage growth, she has all her insecurities with a new crush and obvious study problem because she is an average student. The father is trying ways to be there for her and eventually, the body swap brings them their problems and closer.
The father understands her daughter's feelings more deeply and even paves way for her to be with one she has a crush on. He also takes her dream of pursuing music seriously. The daughter also understands her father that how hard he works to save every penny.

●The concept is heavy, but the writers managed to keep it light with the comic scenes fairly well. And also the actors who put all the effort into playing roles of the opposite gender. the movie could have gone wrong, cause there are so many dramas and movies of the same concept which tend to bore you at some point. the comedy and drama is well balanced

●Ye Je Moon is an ace artist, he just blended in the character of a teen daughter perfectly. Jung So Min is very cool playing the role of daddy, Her body language and speech ability was fine. They would have worked hard that if the daddy was playing the role of what his reactions could be and they taking those same reactions in his acting. similarly for Jung So MIn also she would have taken a whole daddy speaking ability from Ye Je Moon and acted like him.

●I liked this movie and would rewatch it for a light mood.
It's a great family movie, which you can watch with your whole family and enjoy.

●Lastly, it also teaches when you are not in other shoes you don’t know their problems. This movie specifically shows what it is to walk in a daughter's shoes or the shoes of a dad. the end credit is touching it is really

Cute!

I thought this was a pretty cute Freaky Friday story where, instead of mother and daughter switching, it's father and daughter. The acting is pretty great and I loved seeing Jung So Min adopt the mannerisms of a middle aged dad. I thought Yoon Je Moon did a great job playing a teenage girl, too. Especially the date and karaoke scenes.

There were parts (karaoke and a scene with the psychologist) that felt pretty clearly like doubles were used. I wished for a bit more interaction from the mother and the psychologist because it seemed as if they were meant to be more significant characters, but they weren't in the film much. Also, one of Do Yeon's classmates has a pretty rough home life and nothing's really done with that. Seemed as if she was just there to encourage Do Yeon to appreciate her father more.

Overall, I think the daughter learned more lessons than the father, so it was a bit one sided. However, I still found this to be pretty cute and I laughed out loud a few times. It's a recommend if you're looking for something simple to watch about father and daughter bonding.

I've personally seen freaky friday several times and I believe I also saw the original 70s vr as well, but I might be wrong xD
overall the concept is cute, kinda also like 18 again, it's like kids and parents are from different generations so they see things with a different eye but with these concepts both can finally look through the same view point and understand each other a little more

for me this is the only project from Jung So Min that I enjoyed, ironically it's when she's acting as a man xD that's why I say black listed actresses are bad becasue of type casting..

the plot was boring but I did laugh alot over the silliness of Yoon Je Moon acting as a girl and somin as the dad xD
I especially loved when she chased him and he ran away calling dad xD also yoon je moon dancing to sistar xD

[ Rating: D+ ]

Based on a novel written by Takahisa Igarashi, 'Daddy You, Daughter Me' tells the story of the growing distance between a father and his daughter as time goes by and she grows up into puberty. Even if you've never heard the titles 'Papa to Musume no Nanakakan' or 'Seven Days of a Daddy and a Daughter' - the titles for both the original novel and the Japanese drama adaptation of it -, but saw Freaky Friday, then that's all you have to know about it, there isn't really anything exciting and new about this film.

Freaky Friday aside, the film's concept has been overly used many, many times before and unfortunately 'Daddy You, Daughter Me' doesn't really bring anything new to the plate, doesn't add anything and the story goes on predictable and rushed, even though I did not see the original material this movie was based on, still I could tell they were only scratching the surface of story only to jump into scenes that are way too appealing to the viewer.

I was indeed interesting in the movie at the opening scene, however as the first minute of the movie went on I kind of had the feeling the movie could be disappointing when the Je Moon breaks the fourth wall and as the next scene went on; this film is lighthearted, so much that it doesn't really take itself seriously enough throwing in jokes directly for the viewers that aren't really part of the story itself, simply a excuse for a promoted extra feature, shamelessly breaking the characters and the movie to do so and I'm not taking about the extra scene in the end, that's a different issue, that scene seems like the director's saying "just kidding, there won't be a sequel", but also, it was completely unnecessary if in the end, they would just... do that.

Sure enough I wasn't looking forward to a award-worthy performance, but I did expect more from Je Moon and Jung So Min than I actually got to see, still they did a fairly well  good job and managed to play their roles in a way to convince the viewer of the different situation they were in, however most jokes weren't all that funny, most of them went by unnoticed and there were too many plot holes, and unnecessary scenes.

The soundtrack... I did got interested by the songs they talk about at that one scene in the vintage shop - this isn't a spoiler and I won't talk about it in depth -. but aside from that the music in the movie is very uninteresting.
Talking about that one scene--- They broke their character there and that kind of left me confused for some time, for a second or two I was unconvinced of what was going on, it didn't seem like they exchanged bodies.

Not sure if I will re-watch this movie again, there's a chance if someone wants to mindlessly watch with me a chick-flick with a chance of laughter and inside jokes added to make it funnier and have more fun.

One more thing, just one last thing before the review is over. There were many things unnecessary in this movie, I cited two before, but there's nothing as much unnecessary as the ending, the recorded message from girls/women to their father - not spoiler, promise -, if anything, that only makes one thing how superficial that was in so many different levels. The old ladies probably delivered the most truthful messages, but then, you realize why when you pay attention to the different backgrounds. It is more like a invite to discussion on Korean social issues than anything else.

Um filme de troca de corpos que mistura comédia, emoção e uma boa dose de lições familiares!

Esse enredo com troca de corpos foi uma mistura improvável (mas deliciosa) de risadas e momentos tocantes. A filha está naquela fase caótica da adolescência: paixonites, crises existenciais e um boletim meio capenga. Já o pai, coitado, está tentando encontrar um jeito de ser presente, mesmo sem saber muito bem como. E aí… BAM! Eles trocam de corpos. O que era caos vira ainda mais caos – e é aí que a mágica acontece.

Com a confusão, eles acabam se entendendo melhor. O pai, agora vivendo na pele da filha, finalmente percebe os sentimentos e dilemas dela – e até ajuda com o crush! Ele também começa a valorizar o sonho dela de seguir carreira musical. Já a filha, andando por aí como o próprio pai, vê o quanto ele rala pra manter tudo funcionando, economizando cada moedinha.

Apesar do tema ter potencial pra virar um dramalhão, os roteiristas acertaram na dose e conseguiram deixar tudo bem leve e engraçado. As cenas cômicas são ótimas e os atores se jogaram nos papéis invertidos com vontade. Esse tipo de história já foi contado mil vezes (alô, “Sexta-Feira Muito Louca”), mas aqui o charme dos personagens e o bom timing de comédia fazem toda a diferença.

Ye Je Moon é simplesmente um fenômeno – ele encarnou uma adolescente com uma naturalidade hilária. E Jung So Min, gente… que maravilhosa como paizão! Ela mandou muito bem na linguagem corporal e nas falas. Dá pra ver que os dois pensaram mesmo em como o outro agiria, e isso fez tudo funcionar.

É o tipo de filme que eu assistiria de novo tranquilamente num dia que eu só quero relaxar e dar umas boas risadas. Perfeito pra ver com a família toda, inclusive.

Ah, e tem uma mensagem importante no meio de toda essa bagunça: a gente só entende de verdade o outro quando anda um pouquinho nos sapatos dele. Nesse caso, literalmente! O final, com os créditos, dá até aquele quentinho no coração.

Se eu fosse resumir, diria que é uma “Sexta-Feira Muito Louca”, só que mais fofa e com pai e filha trocando de lugar. A atuação é o ponto alto – Jung So Min arrasou demais como um senhorzinho estressado, e Yoon Je Moon foi hilário como uma adolescente emotiva. As cenas do karaokê e do encontro são impagáveis!

Claro, nem tudo são flores. Algumas cenas pareceram ter dublês (karaokê e uma com o psicólogo, por exemplo), e senti falta de mais desenvolvimento para a mãe e o psicólogo, que pareciam que iam ser importantes, mas quase não aparecem. Além disso, tem uma colega da Do Yeon com uma história familiar bem pesada que ficou jogada ali, só servindo pra destacar o quanto ela deveria valorizar o pai.

No fim das contas, parece que a filha aprendeu mais que o pai – então o aprendizado ficou meio desigual. Mas mesmo assim, foi uma experiência bem divertida. Ri alto várias vezes e recomendo se você estiver procurando algo leve sobre laços familiares.

Ah, e detalhe: esse foi um dos projeto da Jung So Min que eu realmente gostei… ironicamente, quando ela está interpretando um homem! Por isso que eu digo que às vezes o problema não é a atriz, e sim os papéis que dão pra ela.

O enredo é meio clichê, mas a atuação exagerada e cômica dos protagonistas compensa tudo. Yoon Je Moon toda bobinha como adolescente foi hilário, e a Somin correndo atrás dele como pai bravo me matou de rir. Sem falar na cena dele dançando Sistar – ouro puro!
