I totally enjoyed this Korean drama! I thought it might be just another cliché love story with body switching, but man, they went deep into mental health and brought in religion or some higher power stuff. It was cool to see the challenges faced by Korean idols and even regular employees. This funny and cute drama might seem simple, but it's loaded with symbolism we can relate to. That's why I gave it eight stars out of ten.

Go Bo-gyeol is so cute ! i watched this show for her but the down fall was Redlin and the fights with Devil ; [spoiler] Lembrary powers are so useless that he either missing them or doesnt fight even if he has them [/spoiler] Neverthless i would give it a shot just for the cute idol romance.

I grew far more fond of this drama than I ever thought I would. Our lead trio was played perfectly, with Go Bogyeol (Kim Dal) being the standout for me. The supporting cast did a good enough job, some better, some you can tell don't have the most acting experience yet. There is a lot of heart in this that makes more than up for it though.

I may be biased because I love fantasy and idol dramas, but this show has an unfairly low score (61%? It deserves at least to be in the mid 70s).

So much happened in each and every episode that it was impossible to get bored. I remember thinking by episode four how it felt like I'd watch double t More
