    funny and thrilling bromance

    A middle school graduate gangster is studying to get his GED and go to college. When he witnesses a high school boy attempt su*cide, he riskes his own life to save him only to unexpectly wake up in that boys body.

    It's chaotic and unpredictable from the very start. There's never a dull moment in this show.

    The plot is fresh and creative. The bromance is sweet and amusing.

    The progression and ending of the plot is very satisfying and enjoyable. I love how genuine and solid the friendships were displayed in this show and even how conflict with bullies were navigated. It's full of wisdom, comedy, and excitement.

    Therapeutic

    Everything from the story writing, cinematography, actors, etc. Was on point. But I was not expecting this series to be therapeutic. The series was going like how I was expecting it to go, then bam!!! Either they leave you with a cliff hanger or something totally unexpected happens. I expect a bunch of fiction in a drama, that's what makes it fun to watch. But when they add some reality in there in a way that's not in your face the message hits a little different. It felt so good to have an adult there for a child when they needed them. I remember being that bullied kid. So seeing the people who wronged him either be held accountable and/or apologize filled my soul with joy. This series will tug at your heart and make you cry. But it will be a good cry and so worth the watch.

    Great, uplifting and very entertaining drama

    You have to take a leap of imagination, but you will be rewarded. This soul reincarnation fantasy about a gangster, prepping for his GED, who is reincarnated into the body of a high school student who commits suicide over bullying is quite remarkable. Suspend your disbelief, but marvel at the strongly nuanced, dramatic performances with more than a touch of humor and humanity.

    It moves at a great pace over 8 episodes, with what could be stereotypical characters given a deep core. Through the clever and powerful ending, you will be constantly engaged in the story and characters, as well as surprised, enraged and resolved in their story arc.

    This is an excellent, and very entertaining series.

    A Master Class writing from Korea again.

    This was a masterpiece of drama. Awesome characters, amazing story, great balance of drama and action, and I enjoy the humour in the series. This show deserves more accolades than it receives. This series wonderfully balances action, drama, and comedy by following a former mobster returning to high school, a unique premise done brilliantly. It's simple, but the performance is excellent. I'm impressed by the delivery. Particularly, episode 8 made me cry in a variety of areas that I enjoy. This show is both fun and serious, focusing on themes of redemption and identity. 2024's must-see hit! Also, yes. Korean writers are among the best.
