I was in the mood for something light hearted, so I started rewatching this drama. I remember loving it a lot when I first watched it, and I gave it a rating of 8.0. I actually still really enjoy much of it, but there are some things that just tick me off and I wonder if I overlooked them the first time around or if I just loved the show so much I didn't care. First of all, the male lead is an insufferable jerk, and while we do see his warm side every now and then, he just doesn't learn! Halfway through the drama I would expect to see some character development, but there's zero besides him feeling very sorry for himself (don't get me wrong, I do feel sorry for him somewhat but with his attitude problem, there's no wonder everyone hates him!). The moments I really enjoy in the show are their bickering and her revenge schemes when he just has to take it because of his amnesia lol I also had high hopes for the second female lead in the beginning, I thought 'finally a warm hearted, no BS rich lady who's not afraid to stand up for herself and doesn't only care about money'. Well, turns out she's just as two faced and selfish as the rest of them.
Kay, so after my ranting, I still do recommend you to watch it, it's a highly entertaining show, and their chemistry is quite amazing, too! Maybe just don't binge it like I did, i'll take a break now and continue another time, hopefully my tolerance level for the MLs narcissistic character will rise again in the meantime lol

You should watch Mr. Queen, she's phenomenal in that one! But don't take it too seriously, it has its serious moments, but it's meant to be a satire most of the time.

I know that it was the dead girlfriend, but I think it was left too vague overall. I never thought her mumbling 'this is your last chance' was meant to indicate they only had one 'try' left (to be honest, that doesn't make any sense in my opinion, why would there be any limitation to the swaps, and if so, who or what would define the number?), I thought it was more of a warning to them, because they had been fighting and turned on each other, that if they didn't get their shit together, they'd not reach their goal and irrevocably end up as enemies instead of catching the real villain. But, who knows, maybe you're right. Whatever it was meant to be, as a viewer, it was something I wished they had better focused on.

Exactly lol Like, why not arrange a meeting in a quiet but public place? So unbelievable...

If there's something I didn't like, it was how the dead ex-girlfriend bit was a bit strange. We repeatedly saw her doing bows in the temple, but she was a ghost, they should've had a different atmosphere or something, it was very confusing. They also never quite explained if it was indeed the kisses that lead to the change, and why the timing was never the same. Those are just minor points though, primarily I wasn't too fond of the face-off with the culprit ('I was the one who killed your girlfriend!'= in the final episode in front of the door in the hall with everyone just standing around, it was not directed well. How the rabbit got off so easily after attempting 'accidental' murder is beyond me (like a year later he was obviously already out if he was even ever in jail. Yoo Mi needed more time to believably change her tunes.
But, while I was disappointed with the time skip, it makes sense for Eun Ho to need some time to process everything. I just thought it was too long, and I did not like that he kept Na Eon in the dark the entire time. It would have been nice had they shown him at least sending letters or post cards every once in a while.
Anyway, all in all a very entertaining drama with a lot of satisfying scenes, be it in the project, revenge or romance department!

I actually really really loved this show, it deserves more attention! From all the dramas I've seen recently (Marry my Husband, Doctor Slump, destined with you, my demon, the matchmakers...) this one is my favorite! It's not perfect, a little bit all over the place, but it never got boring, and that's rare! There were a lot of unexpected twists (although some were messy), and it was a good mix of romance, comedy and thriller. And Oh the Chemistry! So many good kisses, I am positively swooning. I also loved the supporting basement trio and that the dynamics kept changing because of the body swaps. Definitely gonna rewatch soon, it's a 9/10 for me!

Just finished episode 12, and cannot believe how stupidly fearless Ha Neul was. Makes literally no sense that she would meet him at the side of the road, and then get into his car (albeit reluctantly), and then basically BLACKMAIL him with uncomfortable truths while they're DRIVING on the high way. She cannot possibly be that stupid, considering she's oh so smart. Ugh, so annoying... Truck of doom yet again.

I just rewatched it after watching when it was originally airing, because I had forgotten most of it and I was in the mood for something light. Oh boy, I really did forget about all the makjang drama from the beginning. First of all, I enjoyed the show. I liked the characters. I loved how they touched upon themes that are rarely spoken about in terms of relationships, especially the troubles the married couple(s) are facing, when it might just be small things that add up. However, in terms of pacing, the story leaves something to be desired. Her pining and crying over her ex is taking too much screen time, and her desperation ('I feel like dying') is over the top. While she does continuously say, that she wants everyone to love her and craves attention, she's generally the type to get what she wants. She has a high self esteem and up to the fiasco a pretty good standing altogether. So it doesn't feel believable, when suddenly her whole world revolves around the guy who dumped her, and she's about to give up on everything. I also didn't like how she kept giving her trashy ex second chances (especially in the end, even though she was never going to actually take him back, she says like she feels he has the right to say goodbye, and that's BS. He treated her like shit and that's it... )
I probably enjoyed the middle part the most, the chemistry between the leads is palpable and their bickering turning to friendship yet with underlying UST carries the show. I was proud of Soo Hyuk who stood up to his ex and told her he was going to start loving more openly. I thought 'now, that's finally some character development, there'. So, seriously, the final two episodes just don't make sense. His hesitation to be with Bo Ra and AGAIN not speaking his mind, not confessing his feelings, are a stark contrast to how he seemed to have matured and learned from his mistakes. It seemed way too forced in my opinion and ruined the ending of the show for me. There were more things I didn't like, f.e. the sister's lack of substance (she keeps saying she feels inferior and directionless in life, yet we never learn WHY all she does is party and laze around all day. Why isn't she going to university or looking for a job or... anything really?). All in all I just think some of the characters were one-dimensional, it would have been interesting to know more about their past and backgrounds. Oh, and the youngest at work... Geez, I mean, I know she was supposed to be cute, and she was at times. But she was also seriously so so so so naive and out of this world. I don't believe people like her could exist, unless she grew up in the boonies living with her grandma, only reading books all day long. Who knows, she never got a backstory either. But even so, she probably went to college or whatever, if she's 25, nobody should be THAT naive. Anyway, I'll settle on a 7.0 but only because I really loved the middle part.

He doesn't hate her. He initially approached her to find out what happened 5 years ago and get her to apologize (and possibly get revenge), but I think deep down he doubts that she is responsible for his gf's death, even though she might have stolen the idea upon command. Also, when she asks him (while in his body): 'Kiss me like you love me. Did you really never feel any love at all?" The way he looks at her (in her body) clearly shows how conflicted he is between hating and caring for her at the same time. I am sure he'll find out it wasn't really her fault, she'll show some remorse and they'll admit the time they spent with each other wasn't entirely in vain. Eventually they did care for each other and support each other (up to a certain point).

Could y'all please hide stuff like this under a spoiler? I accidentally read those posts before watching the new episodes and it sorta ruined the surprise for me.

Pretty much the only show that only gets better with time. Beginning was mediocre, middle extremely entertaining and now we're on a roll with mystery and plot-twists. I'm loving it. Cannot wait for the next episodes, I wish I could binge the rest, ahhhh.

You'll be in for a surprise in ep 17 and 18 then ;)

I was ready to drop it after episode 4, but people said it'd get better so I kept watching. And it really does get much better! I binged everything in two days~

I agree, I just want some more character development for her. Maybe it's all part of a greater plan, but she's being so mean to the people who helped her along the way. Not impressed!

Omo, I have to say, I had little expectations for this drama, but apart from the somewhat draggy beginning, it's been extremely entertaining! I love that it never gets repetitive with constant shuffling of the cards so to speak. I just hope for more character development for Na Eon in the final episodes. Chemistry is amazing, too. Now I hope the rest will not disappoint. Currently a 8.5 in my books.

I have to say, though some sudden turns for certain characters aren't entirely believable and I did not love the ending. I wish they had addressed the ridiculous rules for widows and divorcees, annulling her marriage did nothing to change that. The father and his mob got off too lightly. I also thought the separation between the two leads in the final episode was not emotional enough. Her telling him to be happy and live on without her sounded too rehearsed and she was smiling the entire time (I get why, because she told him to live on with a smile), yet I couldn't actually feel their pain. I am MOST upset about the final scene though. I mean, seriously, he had her in his arms already, could they not have given us just one second of a kiss? Urgh, not satisfying.

I just finished the drama, it was extremely enjoyable. A good mix of comedy, suspense and romance. I am actually surprised that it's not listed as romance, because even though there's a lack of skinship, there's a lot of chemistry between the leads and a cute story for the SL couple.
I loved the first half more than the second, because I felt like the court politics and intrigues were something I've repeatedly seen in other dramas and there should have been another surprise factor to drive the show (from the middle on you know all about the bad guys and it's just about when and how they'll get what they deserve). Even so, it doesn't drag too much and ends on a good note. Cute and mostly lighthearted historical drama that should not be taken too seriously. Very happy we got a kick-ass female heroine in a leading role. 8/10

There is a classic movie from 1955 with the same title, in which a rich gentleman anonymously pays for the education of a younger woman he met by chance. Since then, 'Daddy Long Legs' is basically a synonym for a benefactor - aka someone who supports you financially (who often but not always remains anonymous).

Oh, also old but really good is Yong Pal. The FL is extremely unforgiving in that one (and rightfully so!)

It's old and the romance is extremely outdated, but I do love City Hunter for revenge. Probably also holds a place in my heart because it was one of the first kdramas I watched.
