Much Better Than Expected

I was really hesitant to watch this one entirely because of the body swapping element. I figured that it was going to do the "oh, I fell in love with you as a girl but I decided it's your personality that I want, not the body," which is fine in theory but is often executed in a way where I can never fully believe the feelings for the character in the correct body. It just tends to feel too much like a hetero romance that becomes gay at the last possible second. I was worried that this one would follow that trend.

Spoiler: this is definitely not the case.

In fact, it's so clear from moment one that Korn is so far gone on Win that he can't even look at anyone else that I could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the hijinks. I could also enjoy Win's inevitable angst and heartbreak over Korn being in love with his sister because it was just patently untrue.

This was my first exposure to Jan, and I have to say, she was a favorite. I loved the way that she played Lin as Win - it was pitch perfect and I thought that the show did a really good job alternating between her and Mix when they were body swapped.

This was also my first exposure to EarthMIx and I have to say it was a good one. They work well together, have an easy chemistry that is very believable. I can definitely see why they were co branded.

There is one thing I don't get: the mom's plan to marry Korn and Lin off to each other so that the farm would be all theirs. If her husband hadn't given Korn a percentage in the farm at her insistence, wouldn't it have gone to Win or Lin anyway? Or maybe she was afraid of an even split with the money hungry sibs? She truly doesn't seem to have a problem with Win and Korn together so I just don't get it. I will say that her manipulating of Korn and Lin into marriage does drive me infinitely more insane upon rewatch because now I see her machinations right from the get go and know she knows how much she's forcing things.

Aside from that one quibble though, I just love this drama. It's become a comfort rewatch for me, and if you're in the mood for a mostly low stakes drama with fun leads and good chemistry, I can't recommend it enough.
