Show has a great cast, and the script writer has written some very good things in the past. High potential to be a must watch. Of course, it can also be yet another big, fat disappointment. Fingers crossed.

Very good chemistry between the leads--because these leads are expert performers. A light drama, as inconsequential as dandelion fluff, and yet another body-swap drama that avoids answering the questions that almost all viewers of body-swap dramas would want answered. Since the show avoids any of the interesting ideas and problems that come with an actual body-swap situation (I mean, wouldn't sex be amazing, at least?), it's quite boring after the first few episodes.

I liked it, but it's a show that doesn't really know what it is. Romance? Revenge? Makjang? It rings all those bells, but not convincingly. Elements of the show are absurd, and too many characters are cartoonishly evil. A fun and sometimes thrilling watch; a rare drama that needed more episodes.

Start watching immediately. When you get impatient for the next episode to come, watch the earliest episodes again.

"Would my mother have abandoned me, if I was a whale?" coming seconds after the description of harpooning baby whales so that their mothers, who refuse to leave their harpooned babies, can be killed made me cry like a baby. I won't be forgetting that for a long time. If ever.

Honestly, it's been a long time since I watched a show that delighted me as much as this one does. You sort of watch it with your heart in a clutch, wanting to wrap her up tightly to keep her safe. In episode 4, when the director gives Woo Young Woo a long, long time to take in the whale photo in the conference time, I found myself tearing up at her simple, open pleasure. I absolutely adore how she dances with pleasure.

Gosh, I really, really love this.

I really dislike it when actors, especially women, are characterized as "fat" or "old".
Also, the version with James and Kimberly was the second version, not the first.

Your take on these never disappoints.

The 2FL is doing a great job of portraying serious personality disorder. In the real world, she'd be under the care of appropriate mental healthcare professionals and medicated or institutionalized. In this drama, her behavior doesn't elicit sympathy. In the middle of one of her tantrums, you just sort of want to roll her up in a rug, and pound her until she shuts the hell up. But you know.

Lakorn.

She is really funny. She's been a delight in every role I've seen her in. Wishing her and her fiancee all happiness and joy.

This show.
It started out so well, and now it's just a typical romance bore with a potential love triangle on the horizon. FL starts out badass, and now her brain is dissolving into man goo. Bummer.

Excuse me for saying, but the FL's makeup is grotesque.

Carry on.

Thanks for the suggestion!

2022 has mostly been a bust for me, drama wise, but then along came "A Dream of Splendor" and "Alchemy of Souls", and now "Lawyer Woo Young Woo". Even if we don't get any other good shows (and we will, I hope), there will be these 3 to re-watch and re-watch, if it comes to it.

I saw that when looked at what part 2 was about :-)

The trailer was more comedic than I was expecting, but it looks fun as heck.

Guess I'll wait til it's over, or there are more reviews. I bailed after the first half. Parts--even lots of them--are really funny, but I wanted a different tone than this.

I love it so much. It's a 10 for me, for sure.

Ffs.

She's sitting in an interview room and her own attorney is so stupid, she's trying to get her to admit to conspiracy to murder? Is it her attorney's first case, or what? Also, I realize law is different in S. Korea, but don't these genius attorneys know that the cops are listening to and watching every thing they say? Don't they know that that's what cops are allowed to do in S. Korean (if they are?) This is a level of stupid representation that ought to get her attorney disbarred. Even in S. Korea, the advice people get is not to talk without their lawyer present. What good is this advice if your attorney gets you to say what the police couldn't, and then that's used against you in court? So very, very dumb, and a real disservice to S. Korean viewers.

Sorry. I had to get that off my chest.

Completely agree. Thailand's law firms, like other law firms the world over, are not known for their sense of play, humor or dress. You couldn't wear any of these clothes, you probably couldn't date a co-worker, you absolutely could not have these kinds of public brawls. It's just too silly for words.
