There may be some minor spoilers in this review, but nothing to put off a reader. I only want to inform the reader of what to expect. This series is an excellent work in the josei style. The soft, loving type romance between the two main characters was believable and warm. I had a fun time reading this. The emotional beats were just as well timed as the comedic ones. Overall this was an enjoable experience and I can't wait for it to finish.
Characters: 9/10 - Our main cast is Cha Ju An and Yoo Do Jin. These chacacters couldn't be more different at

first glance. Where Cha Ju An is capable and professional, Yoo Do Jin is clumsy and inexperienced. Where Cha Ju An is cold and unaproachable, Yoo Do Jin is kind and considerate. A cat vs dog arc is what you'd expect, but it really seems to be only Cha Ju An who seems unable to get along with his clumsy persoanilty. Both charcters experice significant changes over the course of the story. They grow as people but also as a couple. These characters are fleshed out with rich backstories and personal tastes. The surrounding cast is as vivid and interesting as the main duo, making interactions with characters other than the main two fun and compelling.
Plot: 8/10 - Cha Ju An and Yoo Do Jin are introduced as opposite as two people can be. During a work trip to a Bhuddist temple, a young monk forces a soul swap on them, resulting in their souls being placed into the others' body for one hour a day. The time is random and unpredictable, resulting in chaos and awkward situations. As someone put off by genderswapping or body swapping, I can say this limited take was refreshing. I enjoyed wondering when the characters would swap as much as they dreaded it. Sure it was a little cliche at times, but the characters handled their situations interestingly. Forced into adapting their normal routines because a switch was possible at anytime was more enjoable than I expected.
Overall, this was an enjoyable series. While a little cliche at times, the characters more than make up for that. I enjoyed the lack of "miscomunication plot" and felt this was a very mature and realistic romance. I enjoyed this experience, and if you enjoy mature themes, sappy romantic moments, humor, and just plain old love, than you will enjoy this one as well.
