The story is quite simple and common . All the actors did a great job .Seo Ji Soo did a good job in bringing up her characters's different attitude.The ML and FL have super sweet chemistry.It highlights another important issue that anyone would come across if he is in the professional life of the ML's character. You can watch it if you want to see a cute romance developing quickly and beautifully. I think it would've been better if the duration of the show was a bit more.I enjoyed the dreamy story and had fun watching .

trade places and you trade problems for free
Short stories are really my type of escape from long length drama .Story
Idol Kim Byul switch places with a part timer at coffee shop Da eun. Kim Byul has got some troubles and when she comes across her look a like she gets her help. For seven days they switch places for a celebrity dating show where Kim Byul is paired with Han Jung Woo.
Plot View
The story of switching places is seen number a times. Da Eun gets to live a celebrity life which she never wanted to be but due to her kind nature she helps Kim Byul.
the most unexpected is the romance part as the two girls fall for the man on the other side which they would have never met if they kept on living their lives.
We always think that idols/celebrities lives are shinning and glamorous as they get attention but once you walk into their shoes you can feel the pressure of maintaining that shine and popularity. switching places means switching problems too.
Its a series about what idols go though if there is something bothering them in their daily life.
Acting
Jisoo as Jung Da Eun is confident and cheerful. She has bright personality and tackles every situation that come forths her.
Jisoo as Kim Byul is considerate and misunderstood by public. She lacks confidence and gets bullied by one group member. Her keeping the blank face expression was excellent.
Shin Jun Seop as Han JungWoo is a charmer, polite and responsible
Music
OSTs and BGM were amazing. I loved the dance and choreography too.
Rewatch
It really pure and full of innocent acting. I would go for a rewatch.
Appreciation
What makes this one beautiful is the amazing actors with charming faces and gripping script.
The stalker part was done nicely.

tbh, the story is simple and there are already a lot of storyline like this. But i personally really enjoy watching the show. I'm a fan of Lovelyz and didnt distracted by Jisoo's acting at all. The last episode a little bit ruined the show I guess, it's too fast, if im right, it's only 10 minutes and the couple is getting back together. come on, I know it's a webseries but 15-20 minutes wont hurt, right? But i would be so happy if they make another season anyway. Good job Jisoo! congrats on your acting debut! Was this review helpful to you?

Cute cute cuteI wouldn't mind if this was a normal drama with 1 hour long episodes because the characters are adorable and I would watch a bigger story about them 100%
The story is simple, yes, that's obvious, but its so cute to see them creating a relationship of caring for each other and its also very nice to see a drama talking about sasaengs and how they can traumatize artists, the same way that the main character got traumatized by it.
The relationship between the byul and the guy from the cafe is also very cute and could've had been a little more explored, but since is very short web drama i can understand that they were focusing on the main couple.
Again: cute cute cute

Short and sweet
Very cute, short drama. The episodes were only about 15 minutes long. They managed to pack a complete storyline into the series, without all the "filler" that so many of the dramas are plagued with. Neither Seo Ji Soo nor Shin Jun Seop seemed very comfortable in their acting, but they had some very cute scenes together.This show speaks to the pitfalls of being a celebrity. I didn't see much difference between the two different female characters (played by the same actress) other than one never smiled.

Not bad enough to mock, not good enough to love
This drama sits awkwardly between almost-great and nearly-forgettable, choosing instead to loiter in a weird limbo. It’s your classic prince-and-pauper story—except instead of royal identities, it’s K-pop glitz versus café grunge. The switch happens, things get mildly chaotic, and the story hums along in a very “web drama budget” kind of way.The female lead, Seo Ji Soo, tries her best with what she's given. Her performance isn’t groundbreaking, but hey—it’s her first time leading, and the show’s runtime barely gives her room to breathe. For a short series, it’s forgivable. The dual roles are cute on paper, but the execution? A little too rushed to leave much impact.
There’s a romance simmering, but it never boils. Emotional moments come and go before they stick, and by the final episode, I was hoping for resolution with actual weight. Instead, the ending limps toward closure like it forgot there’s no guarantee viewers will watch the sequel (especially since the reviews scream “Don’t bother”).
Overall, it’s not a terrible watch. It’s light, mildly entertaining, and occasionally sweet—but don’t expect it to sweep you off your feet. This is drama purgatory: not bad enough to roast, not good enough to rave. Watch it if you’re curious, but prepare for a finish that fizzles.

Short and sweet to kill some time
I would say this is one of the best Korean web-dramas I have watched. I think that the story is simple and sweet; it makes you smile even though it is predictable. One of the things that I hated is the fact that the editor and camera crew didn't even try to take shots with both of the main girls together (even if they were the same actress). Considering that they are both idol actors/actresses (Shin Jun Seop from MYTEEN and Seo Ji-soo from Lovelyz), I would look over the fact of their stiff acting. They did carry those visuals though! Sometimes, I thought the main female lead was stiff, but other than that, their acting was up to par for a webdrama. I expected more dancing and singing as part of the plot from these idols, but I guess they didn't want to focus on that. The main female lead kept dancing the same part of the same song whenever there WAS dancing though. Overall, I would recommend it!Was this review helpful to you?

Wholesome
This was actually a really fun Princess and the Pauper kind of story — overall really wholesome, though also really cliche. I really liked the relationship dynamic between all of the characters, but I do think that maybe more time would have allowed the drama to go more into depth on a lot of interesting topics that they kind of only scratched the surface of (saesang culture, idol pressure, etc.)I wasn't a huge fan of the ML; though he had a subplot and background it felt like actual character development was a bit thin. Other than that, this was still a pretty lighthearted watch and I'll still tune into the second season!

unsurprisingly it's my first drama with Seo Ji Soo, but she's a natural! and pretty too~ I specifically loved Jung Da Eun as a character, and she pulled of the 2 roles so well, specially the way she changed her tone for each character (usually plots like this get unrealistic with that point). and she has a great singing voice too~
90% of my rating is for her, 6% is for mini queen Yoo Ari and 4% is for Yoo Ji Han's smile ;)
the public and law honestly needs to condemn saesangs, and this drama was a nice realistic outlook of the hardships of idols, that's why I loved Yoo Ari, she was a true genuine fan, though it's better to not engage with saesangs ;)
I have to say though, Shin Jun Seop was not that good (that's why I'm removing a 0.5), though his singing voice was nice~
the music and duet were nice too, and my rewatch values are 1 or 10, and I prefer to hope for more acting roles for Seo Ji Soo, and a longer vr of this drama xD

A simple and lovely drama to kill some time
Another short, but sweet drama. The true strength of these types of dramas is the fact that they cut to the chase and don't overextend the conflicts, making them engaging and easy to watch. One thing particular to this one that I liked a lot was how they aproached the Idol life. I was glad to see them also portraying the negative sides of such job, specially the sasaeng issue.Da Eun was a great female lead, kind and grounded, but also assertive when needed, not leting other people mistreat her. Kim Byul and her saga of trying to act as an ordinary person, on the other hand, wasn't very entertaining to me, so I was glad the writers decided to not focus on her too much. As for Jung Woo, he was a kind, respectful male lead, his scenes with Da Eun were great.
Overall, a very simple, although sweet drama, recommended for an in-between watch or for someone who doesn't want to start a very heavy/long drama right away.

Pretty Solid as A Webdrama
One Fine Week follows two girls with similar faces who live completely different lives, Da Eun, an ordinary college student who works part-time at a coffee shop, and Byul, who lives a "perfect" life as a member of an idol group. For some reason, they agree to swap lives for one week. During that week, Da Eun takes over Byul’s role as a cast member on a dating show.It’s a short webdrama with a pretty solid script. There are no unnecessary conflicts and no boring moments. It’s fast-paced, but it doesn’t lack the necessary details. Every episode wraps up properly and leaves us with a cliffhanger that makes us want to watch the next one. The topics it covers are also quite relatable, especially regarding the reality of idol life.
The directing is average for a web drama, and the acting is quite good, what I love the most is the interactions between the cast, whether during the dating show filming or at the coffee shop.
Overall, it’s fun to watch.
