Fairly absurd

The plot is an absolute mess, revolving around body-swapping and forbidden relationships. Overnight, the female lead (FL) becomes the concubine of the male lead’s (ML) father. As if that weren’t outrageous enough, ML’s consort and FL switch bodies, leaving FL utterly confused—should she treat ML as her consort or her stepson?

Just when it seems things couldn’t get more tangled, ML’s consort, while in FL’s body, sleeps with her foster brother. When they finally return to their original bodies, the consort discovers she is pregnant with ML’s child—a result of what happened while FL was in her body. Out of all the people in the world, did these four had to sleep with each other ?

As for the cast, they are just as disappointing as the script. The acting is flat, the visuals uninspiring, and the chemistry dull. With nearly every character entangled with another, it’s hard to even assess who had chemistry with whom.

When a story starts off this poorly, expecting a satisfying ending is wishful thinking (no further spoilers).
