The timing of the release was really bad then, we just had a good body swap show a few weeks ago. It's still fresh. They'll have to do very good with the plot to avoid getting compared.
When it comes to body swaps, Tdrama does it best. The Thais mastered the genre, the Kdrama industry is far from it still. They should at least release them months apart. Let the audience mode on first.
They packed all the annoying clichés in a single episode, I no longer have an idea what else they'll do. 😆
I mean: - ML and FL not knowing each other - FL's father being fooled - FL protecting her mother and father when she has a secret identity - Annoying guy posted a wanted poster of the Prince - The second(?) son of the secretary treating the FL badly when she's going to become his grandmother - The king, ML's brother, not realizing he is being played - The ML is likely going to be arrested by that annoying guy with the help of the second son of the secretary - Then FL is going to be dragged as well so the secretary will be forced to discontinue his plan to marry the FL to his dying 70 years old father - The king will start noticing the ML and think he's plotting to take over the throne - The ML and FL are then accused of plotting against the king - Everyone will learn the FL's secret identity, they'll used it to kill the ML because he also kept it secret - And there are two to three other love triangles and arranged marriage plots
That's pretty much it. Nothing else to watch. 🤪 I really hope they have a compelling story and interesting twists since they dropped everything in Episode 02. Usually, an author does that to get the clichés and expectations out of the way but not everything! In this show, they dropped everything already! Hahaha.
They need to make episodes 3–4 very interesting. They gave everything away already. 😅
What was the FL thinking? Didn't she realise that if the ML is found guilty or admitted to being guilty, all his past cases will be up for review and opened for being challenged?
Their creditor will definitely use that to challenge them being exempt. And in a world that is unfair to those without connections and money, well, we all know the likely scenario. The ML practically served as their shield and the ML realised that the moment she reminded him.
- The ML challenged her because he gambled she wouldn't do it. - The FL cornered him in court expecting he will lie to protect her. - The ML was surprised she really gave her best, so he chose to admit he is guilty so as not to tarnish her career. - The FL was surprised the ML didn't lie, and now their creditor might take advantage of the situation.
For the ML, he probably gambled (again) that the FL can fight their creditor legally since she has proven she can do it, right there and then. So, the ML chose to admit it instead of lying. He protected her reputation and he knew she is ready to fight and win.
If you could go back 10 years with what you know now about yourself and the world, would you do it?
Change things?
Yes and no.
1. I'll change things if it will benefit the humanity. 2. I keep all my memories because I am who I am because of those memories.
- If it will only benefit me. Nope. Not worth it - Or if I'll slowly forget my original memories, still a "no". I cannot guarantee I'll be the same person without those memories that shaped me.
Same for me. They were ridiculous. And I liked the first episode. Next week, back to 2025 and the phones we all…
Sooner or later, you'll bey one. It already exists, just not yet as a consumer product. 2035 is just about right it becomes a common consumer product. So, if you're still alive by then, you'll eventually buy and use one. 😜
Episode 01 was confusing. Let's try to make sense of it.
1. First scene: he was murdered. - 2035 after he sentenced S Group to 10 years (not lifetime as per synopsis).
2. Actual episode: 2035 before the sentencing of the S Group owner.
3. Ending scene: Months after the sentencing but before he was murdered. Something happened or they framed him up.
4. Preview of Episode 02: After he was murdered, he returned to the past (2025).
In chronological order: - Sometime 2035: He sentenced the S Group owner to 10 years - A few weeks or months after: He was framed or disposed of (ending scene of E01) - A few weeks or months after: He was murdered (starting scene of E01)
- Preview of E02: he returned to 2025 with all his memories intact.
NOTE: Nothing concrete. Just trying to make sense of things.
JiSeong's haircut. Did they film the past and present at the same time so the style of the present is weird? 😅 They should've finished all the scenes in the present before the let him cut his hair to fit the past scenes.

At least that's how I see it.

So, you may want to adjust your expectations of any adaptations and just enjoy them for what it is.
Yes and no.
1. I'll change things if it will benefit the humanity.
2. I keep all my memories because I am who I am because of those memories.
- If it will only benefit me. Nope. Not worth it
- Or if I'll slowly forget my original memories, still a "no". I cannot guarantee I'll be the same person without those memories that shaped me.
