When the narrative is great every second matters. It’s the first thing that I can talk about “The Day Of Becoming You”. Serious, the way my time seems smaller cause every scene make me SO SO happy that I needed to re-watch one or two times. Like is it a depression pill? Why do I feel my serotonin increasing just because Liang Jie and Steven Zhang are in a scene together.
The drama went beyond my expectations I felt interested in every single episode. At first, I was afraid that they could be stuck in a single plot for a lot of episodes, which could be boring, but that didn’t happen. Even they made to swap bodies a lot of times every single time It was so fun to watch and they didn’t make the thing repetitive.
The development of their relationship was very good, the way Sheng Sheng got into Jiang Yi life, become his happy pill made me really relief and I got so glad that in the end he could be in good papers with his mom.
About the ending: I don’t think that was necessary and didn’t make the narrative better but to me didn’t make it worse either. It was something that I thought that could happen since the first scene and that I was more sure when I saw the date of Sheng Sheng comment about their kiss (If you don’t remember that comment was made in 2019)
But talking more about the ending plot: make their love story into a book was great but I didn’t felt empathy to Sheng Sheng author's because I didn’t get to know the REAL story, like I know the real story is what we watched but without the body swap plot but IT’S NOT the same. To me that kinda of plot was very dangerous: I wish they did develop more but at the same time If they did that the end could be terrible but glad that didn't happen.
My 9 days experience with “The Day Of Becoming You” was very great. I did laugh, get stressed and emotional with these 26 episodes. Now I think I can name it as my favorite drama from 2021. But I can’t lie...I felt SO empty!!!! It’s like I finished watching an entire life on a casual Sunday night.
