Drama Rating: 6/10 Neck Score: A+
It started off really well. It was rather refreshing as a body swapping drama. It was still cheesy, but I really loved it. I think they both did a great job of being each other, especially when she was still chasing after the hot palace guard in the king’s body, so everyone thought he was gay, and he's more jealous than worried because he's already in like with her even though he's literally only interacted with her while she was in his body. Haha, imagine seducing your own body, haha. Somehow it still worked, even though it was cheesy and fluffy and the king looked like a 16 year old. A cute, but scrawny one at that.
Then the last four episodes happened when it turned into some kind of an epic all the sudden. I mean, it did have a draggy part before, when they had to resolve the 2nd couple so the king could actually get her to pay attention to him, despite him still being in her body. But all the sudden they are fighting wars, and using every trope to fill the holes and tie up ends that didn't need to be tied. It went full blown W on us, as worlds collided and the craziness continued to escalate. And then, in the end, it still left us hanging. All I wanted was a happy ending, which it kind of did, in a super open ended way. The weird thing was that everything they did was technically possible, but highly improbable. There were unexplored facets they didn't need to explore, but technically could because it was there, but to do it that way would be bad or at least sloppy writing. If it was a manga adaptation, they could have done a better job, thats all I have to say. Really, even the opening credits song was a metaphor for this show. It is fluffy and cute until the last 3o seconds which turns into a funky break down that doesn't seem to fit, much like the last 4 episodes of the show... hmmm, interesting.
So overall I loved it, but I am disappointed that the ending since istead of wrapping it up they opened a bunch of random worm cans and then left us drowning. Ok, fine whatever. I just had to go with the flow and let it happen. I did still love the main couple, even though he was 16 and she was like 20, at least in appearances. I also really loved the added dynamics added by the short little modern skits at the end. I guess they could have given me some hints, since she was a graphic novelist or whatever, but still, if they were going in that direction, just make it longer. Don't surprise us that close to the end. Nope, nope, nope.
