Erik Dec 21 2025 4:48 pm Hilarious. K-drama meets Freaky Friday and 17 Again

Eunice Sep 25 2025 2:24 am What an awesome movie. Worth watching!

B stanski May 24 2024 9:08 am Self realization of persona movie; Very well done sci fi movie; life actions have consequences;

Emka Jun 22 2023 9:50 am Park Sung Woong can deliver comedy ? what a fun movie to watch ! all the other casts are really good too ?

irene Sep 18 2022 2:16 pm watched this for Jinyoung, omg he's so cool! action packed scenes, on point acting, jinyoung deserves more lead roles for real!!

Monette Jun 09 2022 7:04 pm It's my 2nd time watching Park Sung woong act in comedy. The first i saw him is from Waikiki series which he is not really talking lines but he is such a great actor. He can make u laugh!

The jin young shines here the most for me with the help of mr park.

Chaeyoung Sep 24 2020 4:25 pm Wow.. Amazing movie. Jinyoung is so cool

Katrina Sep 05 2020 6:15 am I enjoyed this movie a lot! It was funny throughout and loved the happy ending.

Guilty_pleasure Oct 17 2019 11:34 pm It so entertaining yet funny !!!

Piggy Wiggy Oct 06 2019 6:34 am This movie is sooo funny hahaha, I was so entertained for 2 hours, and I loved how JinYoung portrayed the gangsta role, so much swag, so much love for JinYoung ahhhh <3

jing Sep 20 2019 6:20 am story was totally worth it. usually i dont go for movies i'd rather see some drama. but it was rly a awesome movie aloot of action and was funny at some points too. only bad point for me atleast was the ending. tho it wasnt a bad one. it just felt sad not seeing that cool gangster anymore. tho prob there wasnt a way to rly make a better ending in this kinda of story. overall i'd 100% reccomend everyone whos interested to give it a chance!

Tella_Yu Sep 11 2019 10:10 pm I would recommend viewers to watch this movie. I love the action scenes and the movie is really funny.

Eisya Harris Aug 28 2019 9:43 pm Really recommended!!

Nyx Aug 08 2019 3:55 am Hilarious movie, exceptional acting by all, story line was engaging and characters were interesting. Definitely worth watching once or many times. Jin Young did a great job acting as an older gangster.

Jw Aug 06 2019 4:07 am Good one.

Yan Aug 02 2019 8:47 am Good movie, perfect actor and actresses. Great story line although switch body kinda story is quite cliché but it works. 2 thumbs up. Lee Joon Hyuk I love his character. Did he losing weight? I didn't know his good at fighting. ? Annddd Jin Young just wow me. He is really good. His acting especially fighting scene so skilled. And he is so matured when he become the man. Really amazed with his character. Overall I am so happy watching this movie and satisfied.

Yan Aug 02 2019 8:38 am His really good in fighting. He gonna become a big name one day. This movie is daebakk! Keep it up Jin young. #hwaiting

Hogiw Jul 25 2019 1:39 am Jinyoung you stole my heart in this movie (@_@)

Hogiw Jul 25 2019 1:37 am I like the movie its refreshing and i laugh many times, they pick the actor right, park sung woon so funny acting like a kid, and wowiee i dont know jin young can be so cool like this ?

filmbeats Jul 23 2019 6:56 pm Pretty darn funny and definitely some uncomfortable things but it's good that the movie isn't afraid of doing things you kind of don't want to see. Just don't take lessons on how to deal with bullies from this movie.

nana Jul 21 2019 7:32 am I'm that type of person who rarely watches film and movie, so I've never encountered a movie with this kind of theme before. This movie is very interesting and I enjoyed watching it a lot!!! So hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing when I watched this. Maybe some scenes were quite cheesy, but I still liked it. The actors and actress are great. Honestly, this is the funniest movie I've watched in 2019 so far.

Sakura Jul 11 2019 4:16 pm Let's face it this theme was done so many times before, I can think of Big, Secret Garden?, Both kdramas I think and then there's the films: Like Father like Son, with Kirk Cameron, Freaky Friday, however I think this is my favorite one so far especially when Jim Young's character becomes the braver, wiser ajusshi inside.

Banana Jul 07 2019 8:45 pm I didnt really it that much but it wasnt that terrible either. It probably only makes you feel so confused of what to feel. I probably just cant imagine a 40 yr old guy stuck in a 17 yr old boy's body. I couldnt imagine donghyeon as jang pan su, I could only imagine donghyun as donghyun the arrogant kid. And i cant help it but get disgusted about the part when that teenage boy just kissed his crush's mom. Everything is just really crazy and make me laugh, confused, or disgusted. idk what to feel. I know hes an ahjussi stuck in some kid's body but i just cant---

And i cant just ship that teenage boy to hyeon jung either lol (even though the original owner of that boy's body likes the girl). But that would be so so so weird because its his daughter ;__;

I had different expectations for this movie, i thought it would be really funny and i didnt expect any romance in it but naww its just fucking weird. I wish the romance thing wasnt there. It only made things more weirrrd.

Welp... the only thing im glad about it is atleast they got their bodies back in the ending but now, i just cant unsee all the crazy things that happened. Honestly, im still confused of what to feel rn. I hope ill get over it ㅎ__ㅎ

Erin May 26 2019 4:48 am Both Park Sung Woong and Jin Young are very good acting in this drama. The way park sung woong potrays a high school boy image is very hilarious and jin young is so cool.

Molly Dash May 18 2019 5:14 am quite entertaining movie

Min May 16 2019 1:28 pm Lee Soo Min kinda looks like IOI/Gugudan Kang Mina, they're both an actress tho. She did well for her first movie, hope to see her more.

Chae May 16 2019 1:19 pm This movie is so amazing, lots of great actors and actress. I recommend this movie guys you should watch it, i watched it at 3am and i was laughing so hard plus the action scenes are great. Would definitely watch this again.

Lalala Apr 25 2019 10:42 pm This drama was so good and funny omg.

myrose Apr 19 2019 9:03 am This movie is great!! I really love their acting.. the action is good and the comedy's so funny, i had a great laugh.. LOL. Jinyoung is really handsome too!!

Syl Apr 14 2019 2:18 am props to all the actors, especially the leads park woosung and jinyoung! their acting was spot-on!

DEDE Apr 14 2019 1:17 am This movie was amazing! It was the perfect mix of comedy and action. Jin Young took the lead role and ran for the hills with it! He was amazing both acting like the old man and the high school boy. The comedy scenes are as endless and impacting as the action scenes. Even the side characters were awesome. Especially the mom, I love her acting in general but she was so funny here. I reccommend if you need a good laugh! +

Ts Apr 13 2019 8:42 am I never expected that jinyoung can act that great..

Jay Mar 27 2019 9:51 pm This movie was soooo amazing. Loved every minute
