Watchable
The drama biggest highlight was Seo Yoon & Joon Soo story. They had such a great chemistry. Even as individual characters, their chaotic energy was entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, their story almost concluded within the first half while the second half they barely had any screen-time. Which is also unfortunate because the other stories/couples couldn't carry the drama after that. I didn't like Sang Wook & Ji Suk story and Kang Suk & Ae Da story at all, nor I liked their chemistry. However, many characters had a decent and memorable characterization which helped padding the second half.Was this review helpful to you?

Unnecessarily long for such a short story, the comedic/lighter moments weren't good enough to fill the gaps. There wasn't much chemistry between the leads. Both male lead sucked. All the relationships sucked, romantic and non-romantic ones. By the end, I couldn't care less who would end up with who.Was this review helpful to you?

It completely fell apart once the situation of the body swap settled in. No comedy, no romance, barely serviceable story and dull characters.Was this review helpful to you?

The relationship between the 4 leads was boring and dry. Both male leads can't act to save their life which led to a lackluster chemistry with their female counterpart. Their love story was below average. The 16 episodes barely had enough events, they were riding on a single element that is being a fake doctor.Was this review helpful to you?
There was an attempt....
Su Jung ain't worth it! This version of Beauty and the Beast is just not good and full of uncomfortable cringe. There's another drama with a similar concept called That Fool (2009) which did it better.Was this review helpful to you?

What kind of male lead is this? All he does is frowning, shouting and being an aggressive douchebag. It's full of unlikable characters and the how they executed the story didn't help either. The kid is included in the plot but had a total of 3 scenes. And then there's the half-assed ending...Was this review helpful to you?
Pain
As it is clearly obvious just from reading the synopsis, this drama revolves entirely around this love square from the first second to the last. It's definitely an intense and exhausting love square, if only the leads had some brains it wouldn't had lasted as long. What bothered me the most is how both leads behave and act as if they came from a foreign planet. The drama is entirely driven by no communication, no explanation and a sprinkle of misunderstandings. From the end of episode 3 it will give you everything you need to know and expect from it.Was this review helpful to you?
Watchable but there were a lot to dislike
Not a love triangle but a love square with priesthood. The religious theme is quite prominent throughout the drama especially in the second half, it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Too many over-dramatic elements were intertwined that it ruined the later parts. They should've kept in focus and narrowed it down.Was this review helpful to you?

All of the four pairs relationships didn't have any depth or whatsoever. Not even a proper build up was provided. If you thought this is about the sisters relationship then you'll be mistaken, it focuses mainly on their love interests and whatever comes with that. I found most of the characters were poorly written, they have the motivation of a first grader, even throwing a tantrum like one. Even if we considered the pairs relationships, all of them were underdeveloped. The romance failed and the family drama failed, not sure what else left to it. The performance was average at best, I've seen Chae Rim doing far better in other projects.Was this review helpful to you?
Hmm
Prepare for anguish because that's all you gonna get. I liked the characters and the story but my god they smashed the anguish button at full force. These old dramas have all what it takes to create a powerful story but they always take that route.Was this review helpful to you?

Alright
Great performance from Yoon So Yi, I love her bug face. This was much better than expected. Compared to the writer's and director's other project "Love Twist" this is definitely better. However, there were many problems holding it back other than the usual drag of the 2nd half of all dailies. There were a disgusting amount of time-skips which made it a big turn off especially with that last time-skip of 3 years which also led to a cold ending. This is a great example of what not to do with time-skips. The other big problem was rape! They went through the worst possible way to set up the story. Once again, it's acceptable in Kdramas to rape a guy while being passed out then get pregnant to force him into marriage and create plethora of subsequent shenanigans. I've seen this maneuver repeated step by step so many times and Korean writers keep getting away with it! Anyway, the drama is decent despite the big misses.Was this review helpful to you?
huh.....
This is the type of revenge story were the villain commit double digits crimes yet they don't get a worthy punishment after 100 episodes pain. The drama was okay for the first half but unfortunately the second half was doomed to fail because everything became inside a corporate setting. I yearn for the day drama writers realize that 2 parties fighting each other inside a company is boring as fuck! About 40-50 episodes were wasted on these random fights. The drama initially included the kids heavily but shortly after they were completely dropped to never be seen again on screen until the last scene. Anyway, only the 1st half was watchable.Was this review helpful to you?
Passable...
The writer wrote himself in inescapable corner which explains the sudden erratic change in writing/story/characters from the beginning of episode 68. There was no solution other than a hard re-write. The synopsis is mostly wrong after the first paragraph.Was this review helpful to you?
If only....
The drama was fine until Seung Joo married around episode 22 then everything fell off along with my interest. After that, the drama solely focused on her entangled relationships and love square while ignoring most of the other stories/characters and turning them to a side story. This change of direction ruined the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
