6.0/10 - We're getting somewhere!

This episode shows Sakura growing. Trying to be the best nurse she can be and grow. However, by the end she's back to realizing if she dies she just wants to date and kiss Tendou. You can't give up on a dream, and if I truly think about it. Sakura found a guy she liked, and yes pined for 5 years. She didn't just pine, she went out there and made sure she would end up where he was and she took her first chance. Got to respect that. Tendou is clearly thawing towards her, and I think to Kisugi's surprise he's getting more and more interested. You can still see that Kisugi wants Tendou to be interested in Sakura, but it's clear that he's having these moments that doing things to make Tendou jealous are things he wants to do as his interests in Sakura grow. Not to mention that Sakura gets a stalker! Our girl is popular now.That one new nurse clearly dislikes Sakura and it's clear that she wants Kisugi. Though it feels like she's just out to get Sakura and just general mean stuff.Tendou offered a kiss before a date . . . and what did he deliver too . . . . what a cute way to end the episode. Not to mention to use that stalker to really push things along. Wow!

Tendou realizes he's stressing Sakura out. After he relaizes how much more observant she is about her patients and decides to let her draw blood on him so that she knows that she can do it on anyone if she can draw on him. I'm curious as to why the one nurse is so determined to hate on Sakura. it's such a shame and annoying. I'm also surprised that by the end of the episode Kisugi goes from decideing to help Sakura thaw out Tendou's heart to realizing that he might actually like Sakura. Him debating whether to leave Sakura after drinks to Tendou's care. Overall it's interesting seeing where everyone is. It's crazy how fast this episode just blew by!

5.5/10 - Average

I 100% agree with Tendou that Sakura's confession was crazy! She clearly has some serious growing up to do. I know she believes she wants to be a nurse to get to Tendou, but thankfully it's clear she cares about her patients. Even though she's messing up so much. She needs to learn how to tamper her nerves and be calmer. She reacts fast, but then fumbles. It was hard to watch her confess on her first day at work. In front of everyone. Not to mention not even thinking about how Tendou would be feeling or anything. I mean just saying "you inspired me that day". But she didn't know her own true feelings. It was a relief to hear her finally say that she found her calling that day. Just her excitement over Tendou apparently out weighed all that. Kisugi seems super sketchy. Like his reason for helping Sakura isn't to help her out, but to maybe be a bur in Tendou's shoe. Or maybe whatever they were referring to that made Tendou not smile. I'd like that. A friend helping his buddy out. That ending. She's clearly going to be Tendou's sister. Espeiclaly since I felt a meet queue with Nishi at that show. They're gonna have a cute romance I hope!Despite some awkward parts to watch, I enjoyed this drama's start. There's promise . . . also THE scenes that instagram blessed me with. He-he. They might be spoilers, but they got me here.

7.0/10 - So cute!

The writers have been trying to make us get second lead syndrome for a while now. It's starting to work. Chong Wen is listening to what Qian Wei is saying and actually choosing the kinder path. I'm a bit heart broken Qian Wei's dad has leukemia. It's so sweet how much he loves his wife. Wanting to be there to cut her apples and the anniversary. It's clear that Shi Yun and Qian Chuan should be a thing. I think Shi Yun needs to realize that if it's that exhausting and work to be a fake person for someone who doesn't want who you are. It's been so funny watching the ML get jealous of each other and try to one up each other. Each seeing what the other is doing and trying to out do the other. Lu Xun learning to make that porridge was addorable. We're also seeing that maybe he was sweet the while time. I'm still pondering if this is really a do over, a coma, or nothing is going to count, Qian Wie says whatever is gonna happen is going to happen.

9.0/10 - Solid story telling!

Heads up I'm reviewing the episodes in their full one hour run. It's to hard breaking them up into the 30 min that they tried out for a while there. So this is review episodes 1 and 2. There's always a bit of leeway you have to give a drama with the first few episodes. Info dumps happen as writers try to setup the story and introduce the characters. However, Spring Turns to Spring is solid! Impressively so!!! It was so easy to follow and you immediately get a feel for the the main leads and their lives. The people around them and where they currently are. It truly is impressive! It starts out with a zap and a bang. Literally! We see that body swapping is real, only to have one of the members of the team start to shoot everyone! Bom Il survives escaping to Bom Sam with the body swapping serum. Bom Il lies and says the serums are to age people. What I love is how fast the writing let's us now about the Boms in the orphanage and that Bom Sam is Obsessed with Bom Mi. He doesn't like that she abandoned him and he wants to make her old so that he can take care of her. Yeah . . . that doesn't make me like him. Selfish jerk. Bom Mi is our anchor woman. She's a fighter. Growing up in an orphanage as one of the Boms, Bom 2 to be exact, you can tell she's fighter. Not to mention having to deal with a clinging Bom who's obsessed with her. She's rude. Very rude and only cares about herself. I'm very curious about her back story. When the body swap happens she's got her first official role as the anchor job she's been fighting for. Lee Bom is an ex-actress. Now retired to support her husband as he's running for some kind of office . . . which I'll find out. She's a hard worker and kind. Too kind. Naive. Her husband and agent are having an affair. And as they talk about her I just feel so protective of her. She's an ex-actress, but she's willing to get down to the nitty gritty to clean and give the people who are important to her stuff. She trains for he marathon, and even when unknowingly tricked by her agent to be in a in a smart quiz show she does her best. Even though I think her manager/assistant wanted her to bomb and be humiliated. That smile as Lee Bom struggled was heartbreaking, and then the look she gave Lee Bom when one of the answers she gave her came up . . . that assistant is cruel. Worrisome and I hope is handled. Bom Mi sees Lee Bom as her competition. Lee Bom is just to kind for that, and honestly what I'm most excited about is seeing these to women becoming friends and helping each other out. I think that's always been the true heart of a body swap. Is friendship and walking in someone else's shoes. On that note I'm excited for the ladies to figure out what has happened, and for them to work together. But more importantly. For Lee Bom's husband to get what's coming to him. That &%@^$#@!

I kept thinking Min Hwan deserved Ji Won's fate. Yes, Soo Min betrayed her and it seemed right she replace Ji Won for a life for a life. However, Min Hwan showed that he was more than willing to kill! I was super disappointed that Ji Won was choked out! I kept thinking she was gonna kick his butt with her new skills. Sighs. That said as the episode progressed it hit me. Soo Min would never let herself be killed. In fact, the true enemy is her. She's the ultimate boss. I mean the girl has made her it her life's mission to torture Ji Won. She doesn't want Ji Won to be happy her motto is pretty much that Ji Won should suffer. That if Soo Min can't be happy, her step sister can't. Soo Min hasn't realized that she is the one causing her on suffering. Dang. This episode was good. The whole setup for the other woman was brilliant, but the play out was even more satisfying. Where is Hee Yeon? I'm super worried. I'm happy that Eun Ho is clearly in love with her, but where is Eun Ho!!? I'm worried.

Huh. This is very interesting. I wasn't expecting it to quite go this way. But it's also very sad to fully realize the extant of Soo Min's mental break. Ji Won chose to love and embrace Soo Min. Soo Min wanted everything Ji Won have and to destroy her. It creeps me out to think that poor Ji Won was basically stalked and bullied purposefully. To be betrayed by everyone who should have loved her, but her dad. Ji Hyuk's is crazy. It's interesting that she is also motivated very similarly to Soo Min. They covet what other's have thinking it should be theirs.Overall this is a pretty interesting episode. Great setup and thank goodness for that ending.

9.0/10 - Huh. I did like this episode.

I'm as shocked as anyone that I actually liked this episode. I mean suddenly Ji Hyuk's ex has popped up. We know she existed becasue his grandfather has mentioned not being pleased about Ji Hyuk canceling the engagement. But boy did I call it. Yoo Ra is cray-cray. At first I thought it was super odd that she would show up. However. As her true pschotic possessiveness became clear . . . I realized. If she is so ticked that "what's hers" dumped her and for another woman. What would she have done in his first life . . .if he had just dumped her for seemingly no one. Maybe make it so he had a car crash and die? Yep. I think she's the key to why Ji Hyuk died in his first life. Cause no way would she take him ending things with her at all. I'm just so annoyed with Ji Won. She tossed Ji Hyuk aside so fast. And she calls it excuses? Hmmmmm. So they're not together in his first life. So he doesn't break off and arranged marriage. Not to mention that he has explained that he just went along with everything his family wanted and wasn't living. So in his first life he didn't realize how he felt about Ji Won until the funeral. And he did eventually breakup with his fiance. So in his second life he promptly breaks up with someone HE HAS NEVER LOVED because he wants to speed up the process instead of waiting. Over and over he has proven to Ji Won he loves her and is on her side. Not to mention showing that he was prepared for her to have the stomach cancer. Worked half a year to get a super amazing doctor to treat her and even made sure that the doctor kept a surgery date open always. HE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF!!!!!!*cough* I know Ji Won has emotional drama from what happened with her mom. Still. Just the fact that Hee Yeon had to explain why Ji Hyuk would never cheat was stupid. Ji Hyuk is a good person. He would never cheat. Even without his own traumatic past. Which Ji Won hasn't taken the time or care to learn. I feel like she's taking our boy for granted. It's interesting how insane Yoo Ra is. Apparently beating up other women that Ji Hyuk wasn't dating, but she felt threatened. And his grandfather knows about her insanity!!! Pretty sure Yoo Ra would probably kill Ji Hyuk because it's her company. Which makes me realize how crappy his grandfather is. Not to mention that Ji Hyuk is being spied on all the time. No wonder he was just coasting. He was probably severely depressed having to make stupid people in his family happy. Yo Ra weaponizes Min Hwan and Soo Min against Ji Won. Which led to super satisfaction in watching Soo Min realize that Ji Won had in fact one. Not to mention the trash line coming full circle!!! I didn't catch that on my own, but brilliant.It was interesting seeing Ji Won's past about her mom and that Ji Won was prepared for her mom to use her. She wanted her day, but I think she wanted to flip her mom the bird. So that made me happy. What scared me was seeing Yoo Ra take over. There's no way she didn't have a hand in Ji Hyuk's death. I'm beyond worried for Ms Kim. Because the writers have made it clear that Ms Kim sympathizes with Ji Won because her husband is so much like Min Hwan. They even had that tantrum scene outside the restaurant. The cheating. Everything!!! Holy cow. However . . . Suk Joon is watching out. So . . . maybe he will save Ms Kim. It's also emphasized that Soo Min would not take the abuse, and the way she manipulates Min Hwan and his mom is glorious. Not to mention Ji Hyuk! That ending. Ji Won he has more than proven himself! He's freaking taking death for you. Sheesh. I have to promptly start the next episode.

9.0/10 - Um. The cray-cray.

Ji Won is right: Min Hwan pride rules all. Because there's no way that he can't tell that Soo Min isn't cray-cray and that he should be running for the hills as well! Though his pride, AKA his narcissism, is clearly making him think he is still in charge. Yikes. Min Hwan may have killed Ji Won, but at least he was . . . sane. He wanted Ji Won to be a slave and to get money off her. Soo Min. That girl is on a whole level of crazy. Narcism can't even touch it! I don't know what it is. She was willing to die and kill Ji Won just to see if she'd save her. Then she hopes into bed with her friends fiance to make sure he wants to make her happy. I had wondered why Soo Min just didn't have the high school girls as her friends. They liked her. Now I do. If she had really made friends with them she couldn't have abused them the way she did Ji Won. She needed Ji Won to be her whole world, so that Ji Won could prove that Soo Min was here's or . . . I don't know. I give up! That girl is insane. And chilling. Bravo. This was a great episode. I honestly didn't see Ji Won flipping the tables so soon! I forget that with a full hour episode K-dramas can cover so much ground. Also, let's talk about the fact that Ji Hyuk is making sure his cat is cared for. I always wonder about who will love my fur babies if anything ever happens to me. Ji Hyuk is the ultimate man. No. I'm not kidding. Great ending! I was smiling and laughing so hard for Ji Won! You go girl. Warning. You'll want to watch the next episode.
