completely unexpected!

not me putting off watching this because of the body swap plot and then binging it in a single weekend LOL. i generally hate body swap tropes, especially between different genders as it's always super cringe and tacky. HOWEVER clw gets it so right i hate myself for not watching it sooner.

the transitions from lin to win and back are seamless and i never got confused who it was supposed to be. both mix and janhae did an amazing job working on the character win's gestures, body language and way of speaking so even when the actors switched, the essence of win was still there. the editing team made such clever use of angles and camera transitions too to switch them.

i also liked that korn was already in love with win way before even the start of the main plot. i'm talking all the way back during their uni days (side note but those extras we get of them when they were in uni are freaking adorable!) i was terrified it would be some cliche thing like korn only falling for win bc he's in a girl's body but thankfully, nope! none of that here!

some of the dialogue was a bit corny and the beginning was kind of bad for me but overall, i would say it's a really good drama and so criminally underrated!

it’s good but…

everyone i know talks a lot about how this is one of the best BL series ever. i wouldn’t say it’s the best but this does have a lot going for and against it.

pros:
- amazing acting from EVERYONE, from the main leads to the supporting cast. everyone ATE! for me, i think bible and apo did the best.
- porsche was such a freaking sunshine forget kinn i was ready to take a bullet for him myself
- i really liked the costumes and location settings, they really added to the whole vibe
- first 9 episodes were so freaking good i binged them all in a day

cons:
- went downhill after that
- where was the relationship development after the main couple got together? which brings me to
- why did porsche lose brain cells after they got together? like i was screaming the whole time at the screen, why did he just accept whatever kinn did without questioning him more?
- unnecessary screen time for kim and porchay, im sorry i don’t care about their relationship
- vegaspete’s relationship was also rushed, and i wish it stayed a bad ending

others have talked about the toxic/abusive elements about the romantic relationships so i won’t mention those. but i wanna know why the mum plot was included at the last minute? it felt so convoluted and messed up the story imo. not to mention, it was resolved pretty sloppily as well.

actually, the series was wrapped up sloppily in general. everything the first few episodes established were pretty much ignored, especially in regards to porsche’s character. however!!! i still ended up really liking this series and will probably rewatch this in the future.
