I am you, and you are me
When I saw first saw this, I wasn’t sure if u really wanted to watch it since body-swapping isn’t really my thing. But I’m so glad I gave it a try because it turned out to be a solid drama that I enjoyed the whole way through.Number 1 reason I loved this drama. The casting. Ayase Haruka and Takahashi Issei played both Mochizuki Ayako and Hidaka Haruto, and both of them did a very good job in playing both characters. The voice tone changes and the little details like formalities and body language and habits; it helped to immerse myself into the world of the drama and actually believe that they were swapped. The supporting cast were amazing too but these two main cast really did shine in this show.
Most importantly, is that these two have actual chemistry. Normally when I watch a drama with a ML and FL, I usually feel nothing because of how common it is. But for this drama, I could feel the chemistry between the two actors, that’s why I’m glad the cast was these because if either of them were changed, that chemistry might be gone. I know Hidaka is probably gay, but I’d honestly ship ML and FL of this series together (platonic or romantic), which is something I almost never do btw.
I wouldn’t say it’s the best jdrama ive watched since I’ve seen so many, but this is one of the top few up there that I enjoyed enough to write a review about, so that must mean something （＾∇＾）

This was a surprisingly interesting melodrama
I found this on Netflix after watching one of Nino’s other dramas (Black Pean) and I absolutely wanted to see more of him. Even though I don’t like melodramas, this one was surprisingly nice and fun to watch and I barely skipped anything (I usually do that for melodramas), especially for an old one like this.First off, the plot twist. I didn’t not expect the cop to be the killer, and to have killed their parents over money. I srsly thought it was Togami until the very end, but I managed to make the same realisation as Koichi did once I heard the stones and saw the scratch marks. As Koichi said, it would’ve been better if they were killed over the receipt than some money and i completely felt that anger.
The cast choice was amazing, I was surprised at Nishikido Ryo and Toda Erika’s performance because it was so good. Together with Nino, I could see the sibling bond between the three characters and it really painted an amazing picture. Of course I focused on a lot of the Nino solo scenes, but he was srsly amazing. He could be funny and make jokes, he could say things with a stone serious face that actually felt like a psycho, and that final episode on the roof where he confronted the detective.
That last episode is the most memorable thing of the whole show, especially the rooftop confrontation. If I rewatched, I’ll rewatch just for that. 10/10 for everything, but I probably won’t rewatch the whole thing since this genre isn’t something I enjoy, but definitely worth the watch.

personally, season 2 was nicer for me
I rarely cry when I watch a drama, but the finale where Sera is at Amagi’s grave and that whole sequence when he read his letter, omg it was so incredible I just couldn’t help myself.Amagi is a character that seriously grew on me because of his personality and his reasons for his ‘rules’. Though I predicted the plot twist of him and Tokai being twins, I didn’t predict that twist of Amagi being a healthy boy and because he was betted to save his twin brother, that lead him to have that heart condition, and eventually lose his life. That’s so tragic yet terrifyingly good from a drama standpoint.
What an amazing 10/10 show, as long as you indulge yourself in its dramatic moments and overlook the realism of it.
