My Girlfriend Is the Man! โ€“ What if your soulmate looked like a stranger?

๐Ÿ”น What if the person you love suddenly looked like someone else? Would your heart still know them?

๐Ÿ“– Overview
๐Ÿ”น This is a 12-episode romance comedy adapted from the webtoon My Girlfriend Is a Real Man (๋‚ด ์—ฌ์ž์นœ๊ตฌ๋Š” ์ƒ๋‚จ์ž) by Massstar.
๐Ÿ”น Yoon San Ha (ASTRO) plays Yun Jae, a university student who studies astronomy and finds himself in a love story like no other.
๐Ÿ”น Arin (OH MY GIRL) plays Ji Eun, his girlfriend, whose warmth and kindness first drew him in.
๐Ÿ”น One day, Ji Eun wakes up in the body of a man (played by Yoo Jung Hoo), now called Ji Hun.
๐Ÿ”นTogether, they try to keep their love alive while searching for a way to bring her back.
๐Ÿ”น Chuu (LOONA) plays Min Ju, their classmate who secretly has feelings for Yun Jae and sees her chance when things get complicated.

โœ๏ธ Storyline & Tone
๐Ÿ”น For me, the setup felt playful and original, with fantasy, romance, and light comedy all mixed in.
๐Ÿ”น Even though itโ€™s set in college, the tone reminded me more of a high school romance.
๐Ÿ”น The body-swap twist adds humor, but it also raises questions about trust, love, and identity.

๐ŸŽญ Cast & Performances
๐Ÿ”น Yoon San Ha makes Yun Jae believable, balancing sincerity with the confusion of such an unusual situation.
๐Ÿ”น Arin leaves a strong impression as Ji Eun in the opening, setting the emotional stage for the story.
๐Ÿ”น Yoo Jung Hoo as Ji Hun handles the mix of comedy and emotion with subtlety.
๐Ÿ”น Chuu brings brightness and charm as Min Ju, giving the love triangle extra energy.
๐Ÿ”น The supporting cast, including Choi Yoon Ra, Jun Soo Jin, Hur Hyun Jun, Jo Eun Sook, Kim Jong Hoon, Lee Yoon Gun, Do Ji Won, and Kim Kwang Sik, round out the world with humor and warmth.

๐ŸŽต OST
๐Ÿ”น โ€œWandering Star (์›๋”๋ง ์Šคํƒ€)โ€ by Jung Soomin
๐Ÿ”น โ€œOpen Your Eyes (์˜คํ”ˆ ์œ ์–ด ์•„์ด์ฆˆ)โ€ by Jung Soomin

๐ŸŽจ Visuals & Production
๐Ÿ”น Campus settings feel like everyday student life.
๐Ÿ”น The fantasy elements are kept simple, making the story feel grounded.
๐Ÿ”น Styling stays youthful without going over the top.

๐Ÿ† Final Thoughts
๐Ÿ”น Adapted from the webtoon by Massstar, this drama brings a fun body-swap twist to a heartfelt campus romance.
๐Ÿ”น I gave it 8/10 for its originality, idol casting, and lighthearted tone. For me, it works best if you donโ€™t think too hard about the logic and enjoy it as a rom-com.
โญ Final Rating: 8/10
๐Ÿ’ญ As SpillTheDramaTea โ˜•, this drama felt like a cup of tea brewed a little too lightly. Pleasant at first sip, fun to try once, but not one Iโ€™ll pour again. No, I would not rewatch it.
