Lost me by the 2nd episode
Love Lee Jun Young. He's one of my favorite actors. So I was looking forward to this show. Unfortunately, this went in a direction that I didn't expect nor which I was I interested . The show did a great job at setting up the ML's (soccer player) - HJH story and making me care about him. In contrast they did a great job at showing the awfulness of the chairman. He learns that the damage to his prized car is due to a kid being hit and nearly killed while his insufferable children were driving and his fury is over his car being damaged. So right off, I did not care one iota about him and his backstabbing family and could not wait to see them destroyed.
So imagine my shock when the body switch happens and we're stuck watching the POS chairman infiltrate his business as a "rookie" employee, so that he can take down his corrupt children - whom he raised and coddled to the point that they became this way. While poor HJH, the ML, whose professional soccer career has been destroyed because of them, lays up incapacitated in a hospital and trapped in the 80 year old chairman's body.
I did. not. care . about the chairman and his horrible family. They could try to kill him, embezzle from him, steal his business and run it into the ground, lie on him, ruin his reputation; they could do their worst to him. I did not care about any of them. I cared about HJH and how he'd get his life back on track while getting his revenge on this horrible family. Unfortunately, that's not the direction of the show , at least not to start. Perhaps they changed things up as the series progresses, but I didn't have any interest in watching them get there. I don't know why the writers thought anyone would be interested in this family. Perhaps they thought as long as Lee Jun Young (LJY) was the chairman people would care no matter what? This wasn't the case for me. Though I enjoy LJY, I had no interest in the chairman or him playing that character. So I dropped this. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because LJY was in it otherwise I would've rated it a 1.
