Clarkdale44 Apr 01 2014 12:28 pm Well for starters, something doesn't feels right with this drama. It seems to me that actors are having hard time figuring out how to react on such situation. The beginning of this drama is really bad and stupid. I don't know what i was thinking when i decided to watch this. Maybe i liked its unique plot, but its really different than what it seems. The director must be trying to make a good human drama with comedy but its not up to that level.

The most worst thing in this drama is casting. Although plot is interesting and unique but without good casting its worthless. Its just from my prospective, you might like it. Anyway, their action improved a lot after episode 5-6.

Don't read this line, if you have yet to watch this drama:- It seems in last scene that Masato knew about the whole switching thing, that why he said "Welcome Back" to his mother.

I will give it 4/10(Decent plot)
