My Runway (2016)

Just finished watching this on Netflix.
I have to admit, I have scrolled past this one many times and never thought much of it, but today, having run out of dramas to watch, I finally pressed play.

I watched it all in one sitting and here's why:
*In the first episode it established the characters, and not only was the casting down right it paved the way to a really interesting body swapping story line. A teen girl & an arrogant top model.
*It addresses many of the issues if it was to really happen :) making it funny and not too outrageous in an already outrageous situation.
*The cast played their characters well, didn't have a moment where I thought "er.... really?" on top of that the humour was well written. Not too cheesy, just enough.
*I won't spoil the ending but I am so glad it ended how it did, no weird drag outs. It ended with full closure for us.

I only scored low for the music because in dramas the music is important to me, and in this one, I didn't really notice it, no memorable song, nothing. I may have to rewatch to listen out for it. For myself, I generally fall in love with the OST and go on to research the songs but not with this series.

It's a short series compare to what I normally watch, but I definitely will be recommending this to others, fun and humorous comedy before we sit through another drama.

Based on a concept known to most drama watchers, this drama focuses on the blooming romance of two people who share the same dream, in a light and comedic way. With a minimum amount of drama and quick problem solving, the whole greatness of a grown man high pitch screaming at his own penis made this drama easy to binge and leaves you in a great mood rather than frustration. To complete the scene, the writers came up with just the right support squad consisting of lovable characters with their own flaws, concerns and secrets, making this drama feel more realistic and fulfilled.

We have the clumsy and naive high school female lead.
The arrogant and unpleasant but secretly thoughtful male lead.
The understanding and supportive best friend.
The male model variety squad and of course that girl who just ruins it for everyone.

Paying some extra respect to actor Kang Dong Ho for turning into a real high school girl the moment the director said action, made me question if the creators had really found a way to switch bodies. Park Ji Yeon also did a great job playing a man, but the young woman in her came out at times which kind of broke the spell for me.
Although being supporters, the other cast members did a great job in giving life to their characters as well. Considering that the males had to do quite some daring acting, they all seemed comfortable and natural while doing it.

Being of a lower budget and having a shorter than average run time, this drama did feel a bit unrealistic at times. Although the unrealistic depiction of a models life can be forgiven, I'm not sure the scene where the main leads switch their bodies back, can. This is a fiction but theres still such a thing as taking it too far which was a big mistake on the writers side. Therefore, this drama gets kind of a childish stamp.

So if you like cute and conservative romance and is comfortable or enjoy skinship and close interaction between good looking men, then you might like this drama. It's light and bingable and is the perfect medicine if you're having a bad day.

ENJOY!

Decent-ish, nothing-out-of-the-ordinary show. The plot is something that's mildly common in asian fiction (mostly anime/manga), but it's decently executed. Characters are fun and their interactions are enjoyable. The lead pair has a lot of chemistry and I really liked the evolution of their relationship. My only real problem is that it's only 6 episodes long and that this show could have benefited more with a longer batch of episodes. A few things were not touched upon, mostly the bromanship between Na Jin Wook and Jae Bum, and the relationship between Park Na Rae and Wang Rim.
Overall, it's cute and very easy to watch, so I'd recommend it for those who want to watch something really short with decent quality.

I scrolled past this drama soooo many times on Netflix, because I thought it was a reality show. Then one day I actually went in and read about it and immediately started watching it. I watched all the episodes in on night and I loved it. It is so good and because it isn't that long you can easily watch it.
The whole storyline is great. Its not something you see often and I really liked that. I also liked the chemistry between the actors.
The actors were really good and I loved the main characters love story. I like these love-hate relationship so much and you really get that here.
Its very light and sweet with a comedic touch.
The actors are also very likable and have some very big personalities that suit this drama very well.
I can definitely recommend this drama. It is so great.

My opinion

The plot was very interesting, a typical change bodys novel but really enjoyable. I actually laughed several times.
The acting was very good especially about the male lead. The way of acting as a woman was really funny. I didn't hear a lot of music, so i think that there is a lack there.
The drama was short, funny and interesting. I really recommend if you wanna be distracted yourself for a time.
The second characters were not development, the only one i liked was the friend of the female lead. Would be a lot better if they develop the friends of the male lead a litlle more.

I did not expect much when I started watching it because, let's be honest, the story itself doesn't sound that special or creative but since the drama consists of only 6 episodes I thought I'd give it a try...and boy am I happy that I did! Seriously, I can't believe how much fun I had watching this! All of the characters are somewhat loveable and a bit quirky and even thought there are clichés here and there, overall, everyone's just really awesome. The two main leads though, they are really on another level...I read in one review that their acting really makes you think they actually found a way to switch bodies and I totally agree! Especially the male lead played the role so ridiculously well I almost couldn't believe it. I watched it all in one go and was kinda disappointed when it ended after what felt like a short time but all in all it was really well-rounded concerning the main story. I loved how they kind of hinted at a possible second season with the second female lead in the end although as a lot of time has already passed since this came out it probably won't happen anymore. Anyway, if you're looking for a short drama that a lot of hilarious moments, offers a lot of loveable characters and superb acting then you really should give this a try! I'm sure I'll even rewatch this because the male lead's acting is so incredibly awesome!

BOM!

My runway trouxe uma boa proposta de dorama, o único meio que eu tinha visto essa temática é em my name o que achei bem interessante e muito bom.

Em poucos episódios a história se desenvolver de uma forma engraçada e bem rápida, pra 6 episódios não se deve esperar algo bem produzido, grandes desenvolvimentos de história ou uma descoberta boa. Foi algo bem banal que estava na nossa frente, além do desenvolvimento dos personagens ter sido um ponto positivo.

As atuações são fracas, mas não tira o clima bom que a cena deveria ter, o que é ótimo. Só conhecia um ator, de outros trabalhos, mas os outros foram super bem. É uma boa história pros dias que você não sabe o que ver.

It is not worth the trip (ﾟヘﾟ)？Don't waste your time!

“Bodyswap” series between a ML top model & a FL high school student.
Thank goodness there are lots of handsome guys (including Ahn Bo Hyun (｡◕‿◕｡))

BUT
- the story is clumsy, poorly written, not realistic. The characters' behavior is not believable.
- the casting is not good (high school girl with heavy makeup??)
- the production is abrupt, everything seems artificial.

=> Even if the series is short (6 episodes of 30 minutes), it seems too long !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Série "bodyswap" entre un ML top modèle & une FL lycéenne.
Il y a plein de beaux gosses (dont Ahn Bo Hyun ( ｡◕‿◕｡ ) )

MAIS
- l'histoire est maladroite, mal écrite, pas réaliste. Les comportements des personnages ne sont pas crédibles.
- le casting n'est pas bon (lycéenne hyper maquillée ??)
- la réalisation est abrupte, tout parait artificiel.

=> Même si la série est courte (6 épisodes de 30 minutes), elle ne vaut pas le voyage (ﾟヘﾟ)？Don't waste your time !

Seemed like a low budget show

So, overall, the show was very cute and they packed a lot into six episodes. I enjoyed when their bodies were switched. He did an excellent job of portraying a more feminine form, and she did a great job of being more "tough". Being short, there was not any wasted time, which I always appreciate.

The only reason I rated it down was that the production value was seriously lacking. It seemed more like an After School Special. The lighting left everyone (especially the male lead) with a slightly yellowish tinge. And the makeup on the male lead was awful. It wasn't until the last couple of scenes that he looked attractive.

Barring those things, the story was good and they did a good job of character progression - they both got to see that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence, and they could appreciate their own lives a little more.

...

the production was good, I can't complain .
I also say that the performance was incredible, it would be a sin if I complained.

I love the actors, I loved the characters.

Of course, not everything is perfect, I can't lie, but what a drama that doesn't have a single flaw.

So in conclusion, I recommend...

I say it's worth watching, maybe it's bad for some, but for me it was good.

This is just my opinion, you better watch it and have your own opinion.

I don't know what to say, because I think everyone has their own opinion.
