Switched

I was hooked from the first episode. Good story line. The background music was weird and annoying at times as it did not suit the situation.

Miu Tomita was especially convincing in this teen fantasy-drama. I hope to watch more of her work. Actually, the entire cast was superb. Some of the scarier scenes were disturbingly realistic. This series conveys some valuable life lessons and I'd most highly recommend it for school-age viewers.

Switched is surprisingly a very entertaining drama. The execution of the fantasy element was well made and the whole body switching was nicely explained. The drama hit the top when we discovered the real personalities of the characters. The twist in the end was lovely as well. In addition the love triangle was really really cute and that helped with the love story to be intense, though the plot focused more on the characters rather the romance, which was a relief. The performances, finally, were top notch from every actor and actress in the drama.

Kaga is my favorite character here, I fall for his smile and personality. And the fact that the actor got to play almost every lead characters here in the emotional significant part has let him show off his talent. But some scenes got me cringing too. Overall worth to watch. You are what you think. There's no point for wanting to be others and it's never too late for make a right decision to change your perspective of life.

This is primarily aimed at teens, which I am not. Netflix suggested this to me because I had watched and rated Erased which I loved. Typical high school type drama but the premise is good, the acting is excellent and for once I didn't see the plot twist which was a novel experience. It loses points for the unnecessary and repetitive back flashes and the most appalling sound track ever. The music just drilled into my brain and was totally inappropriate. The flash backs cause the story to lag in places and why the girls have to be dragged around by the arm on a frequent basis is a mystery. A bit soap operaish with the zoom ins. Kaga was particularly endearing and the swopping of characters were all well performed.
