Give this BL a chance!!

I am so glad that I actually gave it a try and it was a fun watch!! The series actually went in a total different way than I had expected. If you are going into this series after 1000 stars, you'll be disappointed. Clear your head of all the things you've read and seen about this series, you will enjoy it for sure!

Let's start with Win. I know most people would have hated his guts in some episodes but I kinda understood where the character came from. Losing his father was a big blow to him. Adding to that, the money minded relatives. The only person he could trust was Korn which was shattered when the will was read. From his point of view, he felt betrayed by Korn that he logically didn't understand what was happening. He is hot headed and sometimes idiotic but I really did empathise with him. Mix's acting deserves applause!! The ways he brings out the emotions on the screen is totally top-notch.

Next our Korn : The man should literally have a halo around his head for tolerating the shittiness our Win threw at him. Korn is such a wonderful character that I felt, at one point Win didn't deserve him but Win kinda came through in the end. Special mention to Lin and Non. Although, their screen time was limited, it was fun to watch them both. And Jan did a great job of portraying Lin as well Lin pretending to be Win.

Why this body swapping worked for me is because, for one, we were clear from the beginning who Korn was in love with. Literally from the first shot of them together. Korn's eyes while looking at Win was enough to convince us. Also, even after the body swapping, he never once addressed her as Lin except when he was with others who knew Lin. So, it was easier to connect to their emotions without the confusion of whom Korn is actually is in love with. The story was very well executed. The story wasn't too supernatural which worked for me and the pace was also very good. The plot has it flaws but nevertheless, it was fun watch!!

P.S. And I never thought I would watch a PMS scene in a BL..lol!! You should definitely watch that scene!! Mix didn't overdo it and so it was too funny to watch!

30% Eating, 70% Traveling, 85% Win Being An Immature Jerk (YouTube version)

Overall: this is yet another plot where a 1 minute conversation would have cleared up poor communication. It is especially infuriating because the two people involved have been lifelong best friends... Watched on YouTube (the re-edited by director Aof)

Content Warnings: off screen side character death in flashback, manhandling, punch/kick, non con touching (sleeping), non con? touch/kiss (using another body)

What I Liked
- the intro animation/sequence
- the cute moments
- the funny moments
- Korn did 1 smart thing regarding the water

Room For Improvement
- Win is a jerk and unfortunately did not have character growth. Grieving does not give you the right to scream at people and drag them around.
- the misogyny of constantly portraying Lin's body as weak (she can't even drive a car?!) If they had explained that she had a chronic illness then this would have been fine, but instead, her body is continually referred to as weak. Also, I didn't like how the pms was portrayed, it feeds into stereotypes that all women become very emotional when having their period (which apparently lasts 1 day lol). While some people do become more emotional, for many women you don't even know they are having their period... They could have just stuck with the painful cramps.
- the cliche miscommunication/lack of communication, and saying "you know how I feel" is NOT the same as actually saying how you feel
- non logical things (there is no one else on the farm that knows how to do that procedure??? The doctor couldn't find a short video on youtube and do that???)
- stupid decisions by several characters
- mom's instant forgiveness
- this truly awful line/sentiment "you have to listen to the older generation and when they are gone you can do what you want" (but younger generations have to live with the consequences of the older generations decisions, ugh)

"What's most important to know?" Idk, "WISH YOU A SAVE JOURNEY" ig

I'll start with the good because it won't take as much time as the bad.
Earth and Mix are honestly really good actors and I'm blown away by their chemistry everytime I see them together.
Korn looks at Win with so much love and lust and Win does the very same, it's both beautiful and frustrating to see two characters who love each other that much but can't seem to realize it. It's been what ? 15 years (just guessing) of those looks and Dr.Non is just 'there', wondering when they'll jump each other. Lin not knowing how those two feel made me so unimpressed I slowly started to lose interest in her character.
Oops I started with the bad. Let me go back on the good - the music ! They had budget and it shows, the songs were all beautiful as well as the scenary. It did make me think of ATOATS but unfortunately it means we can't help but see the differences with the plot and how the characters were written, and think badly of A Cupid's Last Wish.
I was told to think of it as a trope : mutual pining + immature character + misunderstanding + food
Unfortunately they've been pining for almost twenty darn years. TWENTY. YEARS. I thought they were dating since episode 1 first minute but apparently it's normal to stare at your CLOSE FRIEND when they sleep, live together and brush their face in their sleep. I have to reevaluate my friendships, i'm obviously doing something wrong.
I really wanted to love Win, but he was immature and hot-tempered in a really abusive way with his family and it's just impossible to be supportive of his actions in the first part of this drama. Korn...was... really 2007 seme gay character. Wise and cold and seemingly unaffected. I think that's why I can tell I'd have dropped the drama if it wasn't for those actors. This dynamic is exactly like how 'healthy relationships' were written back in the days. An uke or powerful bottom who refuses to THINK and a seme who never speaks. That misunderstanding was so stupid I'm still shocked it took so long to deal with it when they've been adressing it since episode 1 - it's been a bit more than a year. ONE YEAR of not taking ONE SECOND to even consider that you might not see the bigger picture. Win has been friends with Korn for 15 years and he 'dumped him' after one meeting with the lawyer.
If you want my opinion : give it a try because the drama is indeed beautiful and ALL the actors deserve some fame. Jan's acting unfortunately didn't shine but it doesn't mean she isn't a good actress so i'll defend her to the moon and back. The scenery and music also deserve some claps. But honestly the plot and characterization... It was bad. Really bad.

Surprisingly bad.

I thought with Earth in this it couldn't be terrible, but it was. And the sad thing is that this was close to being good - if only the actors weren't directed to behave like they were in a bad lakorn and the plot were stripped of its attempts to be serious.

I'll start with the positives: Earth was in it. End of positives.

Seriously, there were some good elements in this, like a lot of the dialog was funny, and so were a lot of the arguments. But the problem was that this was a comedy that they tried to make into a drama, and it ruined it.

After WIn's explosion of murderous hatred for no apparent reason - I can see him being surprised and even upset, but not so furious that he would commit murder-suicide with his sister and destroy his family business out of spite! Anyway, after that the comedy all fell flat. How did he go from hulk-level rage to petty irritation and banter? And they were stuck driving for seven entire days and not once did the subject of the inheritance come up?

The entire plot depends on an unbelievably stupid misunderstanding and failure of communication so ridiculous that I just didn't care about their relationship, except insofar as it might lead to a love scene, which these two actors are apparently never going to do. You're trying to tell me these two have been in love for 20 years and around each other all day every day and during that time it wasn't blindingly clear what their feelings for each other are? And how is someone not able to tell that his own sistr and his One True Love had no feelings for each other at all? Isn't that something that might come up in conversation?

On top of that, the road trip is dull and repetitive, with a few transparent crises thrown in. It was drive, eat, eat, drive, argue, eat, hotel, eat, eat some more, stop for holy water and listen to monks spout aphorisms you'd find in a fortune cookie, drive, argue, eat. Argh! How did Mix not die during filming? There must have been several takes of each of the 7,000 eating scenes where had to inhale a whole feast.

Th mother's evil plan was so stupid I could hardly believe what I was hearing. What if Korn married someone else? She would have thrown away a quarter of her family's wealth for nothng. And if she knew Win would hate Korn, why would she think WIn would ever allow Korn to marry Lin? And what kind of horrible person does something that hateful to begin with to her own child? Again, someone is a total monster and is totally forgiven for saying "sorry, my bad."

And again we have an uke who has no sexual interest in his On True Love - how long do we have to put up with this sh#$? Bad Buddy was family-oriented too, but they had sex constantly. It doesn't need to be onscreen, but there needs to be some heat. Earth is good at putting longing into his glances,, but there's no sizzle between these two other than what you get naturally from having someone as hot as Earth onscreen.

Earth was such a stereotypical seme from 2015 that it made me LOL. And I'm sorry, but Mix and Earth are not equal in acting ability - it's not the best match. In drama, that is. They're both good at comedy and this could have worked if they'd left it in its natural state. This is as body-swap show. Why on earth would you even try to make it a drama?

I dropped this, then binged the second half because it's Sunday and nothing else is on and I needed to decompress after the finale of the almost infinitely better Miracle of Teddy Bear which is inexplicably lower rated than this mess.

If you're a die-hard EarthMix fan, then maybe you'll like this, but otherwise, skip it. Or just don't watch the first episode - that might work. I love Earth - he's one of my top favorite actors, but I could barely stomach this.

Story: 3. The plot is terrible, but the dialog is good, so a 3 seemed fair.

Acting: 6.5. It's passable, and Earth is really good. Mix overacts too much, which I know is a directorial choice and not his fault, but it is what it is.

Music: It was fine, nothing special, but did what it needed to do.

Rewatch value: No.

Overall: The "suggested" was 4.5, but I gave it 5.5 because it does have a few qualities that I appreciated. Earth's abs, etc.

Great everything overall. Interesting story, amazing actors/actresses, great production.
My only sore point is probably how the Mom is instantly forgiven, after all the pain she put everyone through. She didn't want Korn and Win together, that's understandable. But pushing Korn and Lin together with Win RIGHT THERE? Doesn't she know how much that's gonna hurt everyone involved? Time and distance works best to heal broken hearts, but not when Korn would have to move to the farm and they would be seeing each other every day. That's just cruel.
I thought when Win disappeared he might have gone and hurt himself.

At the very least, Win should feel angry and betrayed that his mom might hate him for who he is.

About Win being super angry and unreasonable, yeah, not a good look on him. But I imagine that must have been the worst one year (or was it 2 years?) of his life. His dad passed and he got this MASSIVE responsibilities with no one to help him. The mom and sis doesn't seem to share his burden either. I've a little experience with that, and the stress really does get to you, even when you have support.
On top of that, he -felt- betrayed and used by his best friend, the person he cared the most beside his family, someone who he probably was already in love with.

So glad I decided to watch it

I actually doubted this series in the beginning, I didn't like the body swap idea and I wanted to see earthmix, so I really was doubting watching it. I asked in the comments before I watched it if I should and surprisingly they said yes, so I did. My god did it blow me fucking away, you get a LOT of earthmix and also it has a happy ending for everyone. I thought the sister would create drama but no I actually fell in love with her, a very beautiful person and aaaaa I was so fucking happy she fell in love with P'Non at the end. Plus, you get SO MUCH EARTHMIX. Its crazy, it almost felt like they didn't body swap at all, you knew at the back of your mind that they did but you can tell that Korn was really in love with Win and not Lin, and that Korn only saw Win even with a different body. My goodness the scene in the caves at the last temple had to be my favorite, it was so ethereal and perfect. I held my breathe when they were writing to eachother on the dirt to communicate, and the scene where Win fell into the water to save Korn, aaaaaaaa the cave scenes are my absolute favoriteee. It's such a 10/10 reccomendation and is moving up on my favorites. EarthMix does it again!

better than expected!!

Pretend you didn't see the trailer. Just go in blind, that's the best way to watch this drama tbh. Don't expect any spectacular plot, it's a romcom! It's lighthearted and funny, and it doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.

This drama is built on miscommunication/lack of communication, but I didn't find myself as annoyed as I would usually be, which was surprising. Mix's character is kind of an asshole in the beginning episodes, but he does end up getting some kind of character development!

I think the body swapping was done nicely, and it was really fun to watch the scenes change between Jan and Mix! For the most part, it's mostly Mix on screen and Earth's character seeing Mix's character Win as Win, even when he's in his sister's body; he doesn't forget that it's Win for a second. It's clear Korn (Earth) likes Win from the beginning so there's no awful confusion plotline there.

+ The period/PMS arc was my favorite!! That's when it starts to really get fun!! Mix did so well, I loved him in these scenes.

+ OST is great, def going into my spotify playlist lool

+ EarthMix's chemistry is great as ever & the casual affection towards the end when everyone's returned in their original bodies is very cute :')

+ if I have to sum it up, the first part of this series is basically an extended earthmix space episode with earthmix arguing in the car and eating at a bunch of locations haha

I'd say definitely give this drama a chance! Don't let all the negative reviews deter you, you gotta watch it for yourself to see :)

Wash Away Your Negative Body-Swap Ideations

I remember watching the trailer after the 2022 line-up and thinking, "this is how they're going to utilize this trending pair? In a god-damn body-swap BL??!" and this was right before I saw the masterpiece that was the Moonlight Chicken trailer. It was already so bizarre to me that Earth and Mix were getting two of their own series in just a year, and it also caused a little bit of fret since I, with no doubt, adored them in ATOTS and was concerned that them playing different characters would ultimately ruin their dynamic. They're so good in one thing that you hold up this high expectation for them in another, and while I won't say I loved this on the same terms as much as I love ATOTS, I for sure wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

Let's Dive In.

I went into this with very low expectations, since I was so ready to just be fundamentally let down, and I did that so that I wouldn't draw any lost hope. I'm happy that most of what I was expecting didn't happen, but then, of course, there were some other things I wasn't so fond of. Cupid's Last Wish is the story about Win and his family as they go through a great loss of losing their father and gaining his inheritance, including the family-owned farm. When Win founds out that his childhood friend has a part of his father's inheritance, he feels betrayed and like Korn was using his family. A year passed, Win finds out his sister was still in contact with Korn, and because of that, he storms off with her in tow, and sadly, they get into an accident, causing them to switch bodies. Win is given this task to find holy waters to return to his original body, causing this frenzied adventure, with Win being reminded how much he loves Korn, and by the time he gets back to his body, there's a little turmoil, but it's a happy ending. Genuinely, I think this was the best handle of a body switch in BL, and mind you, I was a die-hard fan of Great Men Academy (not a body switch, more like a body metamorphosis, but still). It didn't have any of the pathetic tropes that come with switching bodies, like the underlying, "I'm a guy but in a girl's body so it's okay for me to be in love with you." or, "I'm a girl in a guy's body which makes it technically okay for me to love you since I have the soul of a female". I worried that because this series had the same director as FUTS, it would be a total abomination, but I can say, this series is a knee-kicker compared to the disaster (excluding Meen and Duean (but not that kiss, ewe)) that was Fish Upon The Sky.

What could've been a lot better: The entirely of the conflict is just one big misunderstanding, and the problem with everything and everyone is not having decent communication skills. Of course, if communication were present, this series would only last maybe two episodes, but it's so daunting to watch everything spiral out of control when someone could've just spoken up and the situation would've been resolved. You could tell in the first episode that Korn wasn't doing anything that Win was accusing him of, and it's dragged on for too long, only to be made clear in the last freaking episode. I could've told you that! Also, I don't like how Lin just went along with getting engaged to Korn without even explaining the plan to Korn in the hopes that Win would speak up before they actually did get engaged. It's so mindless and stupid, what were the writers even thinking, and who thought this was a masterpiece of an idea??! Again, communication is so lacking, and I'm tired of watching BLs where their entire plot is ran off of human beings that don't know how to talk to one another.

This might've been a translation error, or maybe a culturally different custom, but in episode 9, Lin's mom asked Korn if he, "took advantage of her", in which he explains he did, but with his true feelings. Huh? Korn never, not even once, takes advantage of "Lin" (in my perspective of taking advantage of someone, it's taking their vulnerability or naiveness and using it to someone's advantage, physically, emotionally, mentally, and in most cases, sexually), nor did he ever do something for the likes of himself because of his "true feelings". Again, it threw me completely off my wagon, and I was hella confused. It made the conversation icky, and I know I felt icky thinking he would of course say no, but then says yes, and you just kind of want to vomit a bit in your mouth. I don't know if "taking advantage" has a different meaning in Thailand or culture-wise, but I know it through me for a loop.

Everyone knows that I love Mix, and I was so proud of him for being a rookie actor and giving us the performance he does in ATOTS, but here, his acting felt weak in a lot of spots. When he was goofy around with Korn, it's great, having heart-to-heart talks were great, the chemistry between them was off the charts, but in the scene where he was seemingly angry, I felt like it was severely weak, and it's really just him shouting with no desire behind it. Even in episode one, he's just shouting and yelling with such a monotone face. It's hard for you to play into his feelings, and you kind of just turn the volume down to save yourself from second-hand embarrassment. I wanted him to talk sternly and with emotion behind his voice when he was mad, not just yell in Earth's face.

Lastly, I wish that Korn was the only one that could actually see Win as himself, even in Lin's body. I wish that the Monk would've secretly told Korn that he was the only one that could see Win as his true form, and while Win is freaking out that Korn is only getting close to him cause he looked like Lin, it would be revealed that Korn never saw Lin and only saw Win, as he was before the accident. It would've made for a pretty good twist, and I was kind of waiting for it to happen, but then it never did, and again I had hope for something that went crashing. Because, sure, you're supposed to fall in love with somebody's soul and not care what they look like, but falling in love with someone also plays a part in falling in love with their appearance. So it's nice when Korn and "Win" kiss for the first time, but you can't help but think that's he's kissing "Lin", and while she might not be her actual self, it's still her body. I don't know, I wish they would've held off on the first kiss after Win returned to his body, but it was a really nice kiss, so who am I to complain?

What I liked: This kind of ties into why I like Great Men Academy so much, but I loved watching Win experience what it's like to be a woman. By far the funniest episode is the one where Win experiences a menstrual cycle and goes through the trials and tribulations of PMSing. Now, sure, most of it was exaggerated, but it was still fun to see. Even Korn trying to buy pads was just cracking me up. Because, if body-switching were a real thing, I believe it would be similar to what happens in tv series.

The chemistry between Mix and Earth is so much more poignant in CLW than it ever was in ATOTS. And I appreciate that we obviously see that they have feelings for one another before the switch happens, and it's even better after he switches back. They just give each other this look that is so vivid that you just gain butterflies at the sight of it. By episode 10, their chemistry is unmatched. The softness in their voices as they speak to one another, them kind of just being them for a moment and playing around in the bed, gosh I loved it all. It also didn't hurt that their make-out sessions were very intimate and sexy. Like literally I was shook watching them kiss, especially when you think back to their one and only kiss in ATOTS. Them boys got some mouths on them.

I loved seeing Jan again since FUTS (or at least that's the last time I remember her). She is such a versatile actor from playing a cute and shy girl to being tough once playing as Win. I really do hope to see her in more projects. It was also really nice to see Gun since the last time I saw him was Tonhon Chonlatee. Champ was so cute with his little curly hair, and It was nice to see him again, I'll always take my chances to see him again. White was adorable in those glasses, and while he and Lin end up together in the last episode, I would've liked to see them have that connection throughout the series. Na who plays the chef that has a crush on Korn is ridiculously handsome -- just throwing that out there.

The scenery was beautiful. the large oak tree that they sat under was mesmerizing, and I loved every second of it. I know some people were complaining about the color grading in the series on Disney+, and I can't make too much of a comment on that since I watched this through DC, but It does look fundamentally better on YouTube, so I'll give it that.

Rating:

Story: 8.5 - I liked watching "Win" and Korn go through their little adventure to get where they needed to be. The story was fun and a bit refreshing, but I'll take a star and half off for all the miscommunication errors that could've been easily avoided.

Acting: 9.0 - The acting was really good. Jan stood out to me the most, and Earth wasn't much far behind her. The mom was decent, but she struggled to cry. Mix was really good when he wasn't having to be mad. White and the rest of them were decent too. I'll take a star off for the struggle to show the emotional parts the characters went through.

Music: 5.5 - had a nice upbeat to it, but ATOTS is much more memorable. Cute songs though.

Rewatch Value: 2.5: I can see myself rewatching this series while it airs on Youtube, so that counts as a rewatch.

Overall, this might have been a body swap, but it's handled with much care. The director at least knew to switch between Lin and Win during their adventures, so it doesn't feel off (even though when Win gets back into his body, it's a little lackluster since we've pretty much seen him the entire time). I highly recommend this, it's super cute, super fun, and I can't wait to see Earth and Mix again.

This is a series for lesson purposes


Dont expect a flawless angelic main character of this series. Because the whole story is about a karma and a lesson for a bad person like Win and it’s make him more human isnt it? Since no human is as perfect as angels.

Win had anger issue and this whole bodyswap and adventure is a way to make him a better person. During the adventure he met monks who gave him relevant advices to Win and because of the trip Win realized that he was wrong for blaming Korn for what happened.

This series is about karma and lesson for a bad person like Win. So dont expect Win to be a flawless angelic character. He was made to be a bad person/character at the beginning of the story and people around him are aware that he is bad n hard to handle (his mother mentioned it in 1 of the episode that’s why you need to watch the series in full to understand this whole story and plot and DONT SKIP!).

Earth Mix did amazing in this series.

A big fat disappointment

Expectations were high for this drama, unfortunately it didn’t keep up with them.

I’m really, really disappointed with this one. EarthMix couple is good… but not good enough to carry out such a lame and pointless plot and script without fail. (Summary: dumb people doing dumb things for no reason at all)

7 days on the road around Thailand. Yeah. Great. If I only had seen something of the landscapes, customs or dishes typical of the various places visited by the protagonists. The highlight of the trip was the bright orange Jeep, don’t get me wrong, I loved that car, but it definitely shouldn’t have been the point here.

The majority of the characters were useless:
- The mother? For god sake, I hated her so much I wanted to slap her in the face twice out of three. She is a despicable, delusional and dumb villain hidden behind a forever crying poor woman… it was all her doing (and what for?? I still can’t get it) but still, after her confession they acted all lovey dovey as if everything were normal. As if she had not tried to sabotage the two protagonists from the start on a personal and senseless whim. Conservative my ass, the woman was delusional.
- The sister? Well, she was the pretext for the story. She was the one in need, the one to be saved… other than that her character was weak and shallow, surely not well enough developed.
- The doctor/childhood friend/farm guide? He wasn’t so bad. I mean, I didn’t hate nor loved him, I think he was sort of ok, maybe a bit too gullible. (Other than Korn&Win he’s the only one with an hint of backstory so I appreciated it).
- Aunt and uncle? I have nothing to say other than: Dumber and Dumber (but without the fun part). I don’t even know why (WHY??) they were there. Two of the most useless characters of the decade. With or without them, the plot remains the same, like the same SAME.
- The dude with the crush? Literally useless.
- The farm workers (and in general all the side characters)? Boring and useless. No backstories, no side stories, no funny scenes, no drama, no help at all. Like NOTHING at all. Sorry, not sorry. The skip button is your friend.

And finally: Korn&Win
Lame love story and crappy character development .
Win was detestable for more than the first half.
Korn was a mistreated puppy for more than the fist half.
And it all changes overnight after the words of a monk and a camping night in mute mode. Yeah.
(But I must say, the confession on the sand and the kiss scene was the best part of the entire drama, I loved it… this scene by itself conveys a lot of feelings, Earth and Mix did a great job here).
In the flashbacks it is shown how in the past there was already something more than just friendship between them, yet Win starts to act like a jerk for no good reason other than greed and irrational anger and Korn stays in silence every damn time, never trying to explain or defend himself (when they were together it was like witnessing an accident in slow motion). Communication is IMPORTANT.
The “engagement act” at the end only made it all worse.

I can’t deny the chemistry between EarthMix, but that said, this drama did not do them justice at all.

In my opinion it was a waste of time, I hope to see them work together in a better production.

Falls apart under the slightest scrutiny.

This story can be tolerable Earthmix fluff if you are willing to turn your brain off and not think too deeply about the story. Otherwise, you’ll be putting yourself through more pain and headaches than it’s worth.
This story had a cast of familiar faces and capable actors, yet in the end it didn’t matter either way. There was really no way to dig the characters out of the holes the script had dug.

Starting with the good. I was happy to see Earth & Mix starring together again, and the synopsis piqued my interest as well. One of the strongest points of the series would be the overall look of the show. I enjoyed the exposure to Thai culture, foods, and scenery. There were also plenty of times where Earthmix’s acting potential shined through the poor direction. I would love to see them again in a drama where a little more time and care is put into the writing because the talent is there.

The biggest problems lie with the lazy writing and poor direction. This story tried to do way too many things at once, and was riddled with random and unnecessary tangents. I never felt any sense of urgency about resolving the conflict, and not once was I invested in the wellbeing of any of the characters because of how ridiculous the whole thing felt.

The writers disconnected from any kind of emotional storytelling that makes sense. Win can have a psychotic break in one episode, and for the rest of the series he’ll just get played off as “just having a poor attitude.” I’m all about having flawed human characters, but not one like Win. Why in the world should I feel for a character who says and does horrible things and in the end doesn’t change in any large or small capacity? By the end of the story, the emotional tensions never actually feel resolved.

Never mind Win being a tyrant who seems to find joy from terrorizing anyone in his general vicinity, when it comes to the rest of the characters there really isn’t much to say. Korn is desperately underdeveloped and was left as an idealized dream boy whose only purpose is loving our unbearable MC (an action in itself that is highly questionable). Lin wakes up and takes her place alongside her mother as a proper plot-device to help close out the series. I've found the more you dig deeper to understand the mentality of the characters the less likely you’ll find any kind of satisfying answer, so I’ll stop here.

Was dreading the swap story but pleasantly surprised

When I first heard this was a body swap story I decided I wasn't going to watch it. I don't usually like them. I did eventually give in and was pleased with how the switch was handled. Win never tried to hide it from Korn. He did from his family but you don't see much interaction with them so it doesn't get overly annoying. I probably wont re-watch it at least not for quite a while since in the end it still felt 1000 Stars style. Dont get me wrong I did like that show but I don't want a completley separate show to give me the same vibes. It was a cute series for what it was and well EarthMix so....
