Good, but with flaws
Okay, so I found this by chance. I literally just put on the TV and Episode 3 of this drama was airing, so I watched it and finished it on Youtube.I think this was really sweet and it did make me a bit emotional at times, even though I did feel almost suffocated towards the end, it felt a lot like you didn't get a break in all the drama (I mean, it is a drama).
There were a few inconsistencies here and there, not too noticeable though, the one on the top of my head is the fact that Yunje's car literally changes color from black to white (it has the same plate on the car).
However, Sung Dukmi's best friend, I did not like at all. She almost always gave bad advice, and felt like she almost didn't care for her best friend, but that could just be the character's personality. I also don't really get her and Seungmin's relationship thing, it just felt a bit unrealistic.
Regarding the humor, it was pretty fun in the moment, pretty mid to be honest, but I still liked it. It'd probably work if you need a good laugh.

Toxic relationship
It started of as cute and fluffy, but when the two leads finally got into a relationship it was just pretty toxic. Whenever they would argue, they would always ignore the actual problem. For example were they both very jealous, but they never talked about their feelings so that the other can atleast comfort them and tell them they're misunderstanding, buy no, no. Instead let just yell the small, petty things we've piled up just for an argument, without getting forward in the relationship.It also felt pretty cliché with the whole rich CEO and poor girl that likes drawing. I watched Cute bodyguard which also has it, but I just liked it more, it was funny.

Don't watch this
I went into this with the expectations that it would be a short, maybe a little bit of bad camerawork but still just fluffy. Pretty low expectations, yet I was very disappointed. This was the longest 28 minutes of my life. You know nothing about the characters, the change in emotions is super unrealistic and out of nowhere and it kinda makes no sense, the story makes sense. It maybe could have been something if it was a bit longer, but this just wasn't it. Even in the small romance bits, the romance is creepy. I would not recommend watching this, and I regret it.Was this review helpful to you?
Such a fluffy drama
This drama was super cute and just pure fluffy, almost no angst and everyone's nice. It's super lighthearted and perfect to bingwatch, like I did. Of course, the production is a bit off, but it works, the sound isn't that bad and the camerawork is just a little bit shaky. The main character's has such good chemistry. I will say though that it might be a bit in the gray zone, like dating someone who's 20 when you're 25, or kissing someone who's really drunk, but if you can ignore it, it's just pure fluffy.Was this review helpful to you?

Very thense, but maybe for the sake of being tense?
This was very intruding, but it felt a bit almost boring because there weren't really any twists, which can be fine of course, it's just that I was looking for something more. The end wasn't very good, the twists was obvious, but somehow a little bit worse. If someone died and then all of a sudden come back like "just kidding" I don't think I could forgive them immediately. Of course, I'd be happy, but even trying to understand I think would be hard, and forgive them? Not really.On another note, I loved Park and Chet's chemistry, because I felt so real. Like I could understand them both, and that's what I love about it.

The only way you'll enjoy this drama is of you just let things happen
I don't even know where to start. First of all, don't watch this if you can't just let things happen. This drama is insensitive to depression, sexual assault and clearly has no knowledge about pregnancy. It's also filled with misogyny.First of all, this has so many plotlines, seemingly just thrown in because the writer realised they needed a scene to happen, but it didn't fit into what he already had. It also sets up tons of things, like Jinchen's identity, Yueyue's identity, the cheating, so many I can't even keep track of them, for it to end in the most flat way possible. For example Yueyue's identity. It drags out all the way to the 20th episode just for her to come right out and say it? Or her sister saying she'll come on the 20th. Since they barely talked about it, I'll just assume that it was at the auction, but no one was concerned when she didn't show up. Or the whole cheating. Realistically speaking, why would she color her hair, be with another guy and then color it back? And when his grandpa said that Yueyue should leave but Siya left instead? Why would Jinchen propose to Yueyue then?
A thing that the drama ALSO seem to not know about is the difference between withholding information and creating curiosity. I have watch 21 episodes and I still barely know what the contract is about. I assume it's that Wen Jinchen and Yuan Siya should get married, and the grandpa also hoped she'd help the company. So when the grandpa found out that Siya was actually Yueyue, why did he want Yueyue to leave? The smartest and best thing for him to do is hire Siya at the company, or sue her dad like he said. Why make her leave? Out of pettiness?
And don't get me started on Jinchen and the pregnancy. I know this is just how China kinda is, but the drama really tries making it so that Jinchen is a wonderful person for not caring whether it's a girl or a boy, like it isn't bare minimum. On the other hand he doesn't ask her about her feelings, how she's feeling physically or make up a plan on how to take care of her work. They also only got one pregnancy test. Even if they did, and they were unsure, they should go to the doctor. Even if they did and it was positive, the doctor would tell them how many weeks in she was. Everyone who's met someone who has been pregnant knows you don't tell people until a certain point due to miscarriage and other things. The grandpa also said the most disrespectful things to her, and he just stood there? And she too acted like it was understandable. Wouldn't you at least be a little mad of being treated like a baby machine?
Also, Jinchen forcibly kissed her, TWO TIMES, and she was only mad that he did it in front of her crush. Jinchen also has a day when he's a "little bit depressed" and she fixes him through food and hugs. If it was that easy, depression wouldn't exist.
The only thing I kinda liked is the sweetness between the main couple. And also, Xiuzhe and Liangye. No one could tell me they weren't flirting throughout the whole drama. Everything they said and did could've been a BL if you just changed a few words. Like Xiuzhe practicing heart shaped omelette for the one he likes, bit instead gives it to Liangye. Liangye saying he can't supervise Xiuzhe because he's not his girlfriend. In a BL the unsaid sentence would be "But you could be my boyfriend". Liangye admitting he had a purpose by being close to Xiuzhe in the beginning, but now he really knows he's a good...friend? That's literally every second romance drama. Sadly, it's a Chinese drama
If you liked the funny colleague vibe, breaking it off sometimes with drama, you'll probably enjoy My boss, a much better drama.

Good
They did a really great job at portraying each other and it just got better as it went. There was only a small thing that bugged me: whenever they would switch bodies, their relationship that they had started to build up together when they were in their own bodies, just disappear whenever they switch to the other person's. There is a scene though when they really make a crazy impressive work in making it feel like they're in each other's bodies, it's amazing. Also, spoiler I guess, the guy gets a period in the girls body.Was this review helpful to you?
This story slaps
This is a story that is perfect both on paper and in real life. I know some people might not agree, bur to me it was.I usually never feel so strong emotions as I have when watching this, and that's the reason it's getting a full score, but not only that. The plot is well thought out. Everything has meaning, there are no scenes that feel like unnecessary fluff.
The main couple, KangMoo, are also so untoxic. They have their problems, but that's only external. They have good communication without it feeling unrealistic and their relationship also have a realistic speed. They take things slowly and decide together to not do something.
