The Dude in Me

The body swap idea has been done before ("Luck Key" comes to mind), so while the story is not really original, it's still a funny movie. The greatest part is the total character change of the fat and shy highschool loser after having absorbed the gangster boss' personality. Really shows that even a fat kid with thick rimmed glasses can be a total alpha male when he carries himself that way. Absolutely hilarous. The movie is kind of stupid and childish at times and it could have been 15 minutes shorter, but ultimately I enjoyed it and had quite a few good laughs.

I think its my favourite korean movie of 2019 so far. The plot was not fresh but the execution of the storyline by the talented cast was sweet and endearing. Also the plot was quite unexpected. The comic relief were done really well. Overall the complete storyline wasnt as lame as i thought it would be. Last but not the least, the action stunts were very enjoyable.

This film was a great comedy with just the right amount of violence. Absolutely loved Jang Pan Su in Kim Dong Hyun's body and his character development during the two-hour film.

The one thing I loved the most was Jang Pan Su's relationship with Oh Mi Sun while his soul was in a body of a teenage Kim Dong Hyun. Their relationship didn't come off as illegal or perverted because Mi Sun was a middle-aged woman and Pan Su was in a body of a teenager as she set clear boundaries. However, their conversations were really humorous as she talked about their kid and how he ruined her life and left while she was talking to a teenage boy.

Totally recommend.

The understated way the story unfolds and the pacing make this an enjoyable and funny movie. Body switch movies have been done many times but they are often slapstick or painful at times. This manages to avoid that. The touching back story and how both their lives improve is meaningful. Both the actors do a good job when in the other person's body. It's not a laugh a minute but there are quite a few laugh out loud moments and lots of feel good moments exciting fighting and well handled complex relationships between the parties.

This had me in stitches laughed alot especially jin young as the fat kid he was briiliant so hilarious . started watching this by chance was so unexpectedly good. Feel good movie .
