Chaotic, Silly, Sweet and Frustrating at times
This was honestly chaotic, and I live for chaos, so of course I stuck around till the very end. It was completely entertaining, silly, sweet, and exactly what I imagined it would be, which made it all the more fun to watch. The characters are all so over the top that you never quite know what to expect from them, and that’s part of the charm.
Yunjae is trying his best to get used to the situation, and it’s clear he really loves Ji Eun, but oh my god he was frustrating. Especially with how he acted towards Minju, his attitude had me wishing for a breakup more than once. Ji Eun honestly deserves better. Yunjae sometimes comes across as dumb, but it’s obvious a lot of it stems from his toxic family (who were played off comedically, but I couldn’t stand them). I just wish he could set boundaries better.
Ji Eun, though… absolute sunshine. She’s adorable both as a girl and as a man, and all I want is for her to be happy. She’s selfless to a fault, she hides her situation from her parents, always puts others’ feelings before her own, and just radiates warmth. I wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug.
Ji Hye was Fun, reliable, and a great older sister to Ji Eun. The love triangle with her, Jeong Ja, and Young Seok was… fine. I loved how fair and supportive Ji Hye and Jeong Ja were toward each other, but the man himself? Meh. Still, I appreciated seeing both women as strong, successful characters.
Lee Minhyuk is adorable and hilarious, pure fun to watch. Honestly, he gave off such gay-coded vibes at the start that I was just waiting for him to have that “aha” moment of self-realization. (Also, it was great to see Hyunjun again!)
Choi Yuri, my girl, was so real. The lovable best friend who could fall for Ji Eun’s male look and also be a BL fan? Iconic. She and Minhyuk were easily the best part of the show for me. I went from shipping each of them with Ji Eun to shipping them with each other, and the fact that they actually became a couple was Chef’s kiss.
And then there’s Minju… oh, Minju. She came in bringing the absolute chaos. She’s such a “green tea white moonlight” type of second female lead, it was almost embarrassing at times. Honestly one of the most ridiculous SFLs I’ve seen in a while, way too toxic for me.
At the end of the day, this drama is just a silly gender-bender romcom, but it’s fun. Messy, chaotic, ridiculous fun. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
