Plans for a Scandal (2024)

Soul swapped, Kickass FL, Unpreditable plot - Thoroughly enjoyed!

I was in the mood for He Jian Qi drama tonight and since I wanted something light & funny, I picked this drama. OMG, such a hilarious drama! I enjoyed immensely.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - Kickass, smart, warm, hardworking. No wonder many characters fall for her. Despite being in different body, she never took advantage of ML's wealth. Yu Xiao Wan was cool & effortless in the role.
2. ML characterisation - Started off as brooding CEO but gradually learned compassion & love. I never expected He Jian Qi to be good in this type of role.
3. Romance - I like the development of their love story even though there were lack of physical touch. I'd say their love language is words of affirmation (they communicated really well) & acts of service. Mature & healthy relationship.
4. Writing - Having watched many vertical dramas, I find this drama refreshing. No jealous fiancée, no abuse, no kidnapping. I like that some characters discovered the soul swap as time progressed. Unlike other soul swap dramas, this one has more unpredictable nature, in which it happens during emotional moments therefore leads had no control or exact formula for the swap.
5. Supporting characters - Omg I like FL's sister (she's smart & funny), ML's assistant, ML's blind date, ML's sister.
6. Ending - I have seen a similar ending but this one is slightly different.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - Just a small dislike of how the main antagonist was handled at the end.
2. Kissing - I wish there were more kisses!

Favourite scene
