Love You Teacher is a show that I think really tries something new in a way that definitely pays off! I think a show like this dealing with the complex topics that it covered could go very poorly, but this show actually handled everything really well. I also LOVE that the plot had really nothing to do with the romantic relationship between the main couple - they have already been together for seven years, and there's truly nothing that could come between them. It's about these two characters trying to figure out how to navigate this sudden change in their life.

Pobmek (Perth) and Solar (Santa) have been together since they began college, and are now both teachers at the same school. Solar is one of the school's best teachers and clearly loves the kids; Pobmek probably couldn't survive teaching elementary school kids without Solar. One day, Solar is hit by a car on his way to work, and while physically mostly unharmed, he wakes up as seven year old Sun. Pobmek has to navigate not only teaching kids at school, but also caring for Sun at home. Every other day, Sun wakes up as Solar instead, with no memory of what happened during Sun's day. Pobmek, along with other teachers at the school, have to try to figure out a way to get Solar back in control.

I LOVED this show. While of course the main story is about Solar/Sun, I think they do a great job highlighting Pobmek's struggles as someone suddenly needing to care for his partner. The exhaustion and guilt that follows is so well done and really made Pobmek's character feel real. Also, I felt that the way they handled the whole Solar/Sun thing was actually super well done - not gonna lie, I was quite nervous going into this show because of this. I do think they could have benefitted from a bit more explanation, especially towards the end of the show when the viewer learns about Sun's past, but overall it was handled well. Plus, Perth and Santa will always deliver on the chemistry between their characters, and I am really glad that they made it a point to be careful with their relationship during the whole Solar/Sun switching problem. Like I said, all of these issues were handled way better than I thought they would be. I also thought the pacing and ending of the show were super well done. Since most dramas focus on the couple getting together, I found this to be a nice change of pace with the couple already together and navigating hardships as a team. This one is super refreshing for it's unique themes, but definitely on the more emotional side, so absolutely worth watching if that's something you like!
