Gyun Joon!!

This episode was pretty good.
We get more background story on our big boy ;) and Im loving that. As he is really the main character, no matter who is playing him (Shin Won Ho as a teen, or Gong Yoo as an "adult") we don't need to know much about the real Seo Yoon Jae for now, just what's necessary to make the comparisons between him and Gyun Joon. Which brings me to say, its a really well written character. Based on what we learned of his past, his actions now make lots of sense, and why he would be so cynical its not just because he is an arrogant teen.
I thought the transformation was done well. Gong Yoo is able to act out the teen Gyun Joon, and show us bits of what Shin Won Ho did with the character in episode one. I totally buy they are the same person in different bodies.
This episodes theme was more directed towards the comedic act, imagine you suddenly wake up with the body of a man in his late 20s or early 30s when you are only 18. No matter how serious and reserved you were before, you will want to take advantage of the situation and venture into the world of freedom as teens live under many rules, especially the no alcohol one ;)
I think the episode was pretty good, we also got some answers of the relationship between Seo Yoon Jae and his coworker. Next episode should be interesting. ^^

Zippy banter and great comedic timing.

I really liked episode 2. And I was not surprised that Gong Yoo could pull off acting like a sassy, cocky 18 year old scoundrel. He is simply a fine actor all around...comedy or drama and his ability to switch lightening fast from one to another is what attracts me to watching anything he does.

I really enjoyed the banter between the two leads and both of their comedic timing. Of course Gong Yoo shined as he behaved confused, cocky or childish. The little touches...like his lack of skills in certain social situations really made me believe he was Gyung Joon.

I like where this is going plot wise. What exactly was Yoon Jae up to? It is looking as if he did not love Da Ran but did he like that other bratty beotchy girl? I'm okay with not knowing but my anxiousness to watch next week is a great sign! It means I am sticking around and I want to watch more! Go Hong Sisters...keep it up. I will keep watching!

TY WRITERS FOR PUTTING ALL THAT SKIN OUT THERE FOR US VIEWERS

Well I laughed so freaking hard that my side hurts. This drama is rly good at throwing the comedy in @ just the right moment w/ all the serial scenes. I think Gong Yoo was the best pick for this roll. I love this drama not only b/c I get to look at his smoking hot body the whole time, but b/c Gong Yoo's acting is amazing. I don't think it would have worked as well w/ any other actor.

Very good story. I love that he tries to make her feel good even though he is just a kid. I love how he is like "I'm just a kid. How am I supposed to know?" then when there is something adult going on & he wants to do it. He is all like, "I'm in the body of an adult. So, I can." Wow awesome abuse of innocence & experience.

I can't wait till the next episodes to come out. Rly good so far!

Addicted!

I know people have been complaining about the inconsistencies after the switch of the soul, but keep in mind that we never got to see much of Kang Gyung Joon as a teenager. We saw him for like 3/4 of the first episode. So I don't really see it being a huge deal. Besides, most 18-year-old person who becomes an adult within a span of some hours are deem to abuse their status - haha.

This episode was hilarious! I knew Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung are naturals when it comes to these kind of roles. Rom-coms for them look so effortless because they seem to know what sways the audience. They're one of the top Korean rom-com actors, if not the top Korean rom-com King and Queen.

There are always subtle funny moments throughout episode 2. This is largely due to the actors.

The storyline is moving along nicely, but it's nothing too new. Though, I'm enjoying their take on it. I hope Yoon Jae's soul will participate in the drama as well. That will definitely be interesting.

Full of laughs

This episode was full of laughs! I loved watching Kyung Joon's character in Yoon Jae's body! But is it just me or did he become more playful after the switch? Slight switch in character but I suppose that's unavoidable seeing as they're played by two different actors. I particularly enjoyed the 'rock family' scene. I don't want to spoil so I won't elaborate but I literally laughed out loud there. Da Ran and Kyung Joon's scenes were adorable. I'm not shipping them yet though...I'm not sure why? But give me another episode or two and I might. Looking forward to Suzy's arrival. They haven't even met yet but I kind of ship her with Choong Sik, who I have a slight crush on myself. Overall, a very humorous and cute episode with the exception of some light drama here and there. Sure there will be much more of that to come! Looking forward to the next episode!
