Drama review score by commenter: 3/5
The plot is very old-fashioned. The female lead’s difference in acting skills is too obvious when placed in comparison with the male lead. When they exchanged bodies, the male lead who acted with the female soul is very lively, while the female lead acting with the male soul is very rigid and monotonous. [+1567]

Drama review score by commenter: 2/5
[The show] added the theme of love, tried to change the the “tone”of love and brought up the issues faced by women in today’s society. In this context, the two leads exchanged bodies. But the ending is that the comedic elements of the show are still not comparable to [the old drama] “Never Say Die.” It’s making things difficult for Zhang Xincheng when he acted so hard. The production and CP effect wasn’t enough. At the end, [the drama can only be described by] the word ‘awkward’ and that expression you make when you can’t laugh though the pain. [+273]
Is The Day Of Becoming You Worth Watching?
Ultimately, the concept of ‘exchanging souls’ between the male and female lead is a rather cliche one. In Asian dramas, this concept has been used throughout shows such as Secret Garden (2010) and Never Say Die (2017).
If soul-switching rom-com is your cup of tea, the show might just be for you!
