This drama is like a little treasure found by chance.
The beginning is hilarious, Arisa and Issei play wonderfully, especially Arisa who is very convincing as a "boy".
Houkago has an incredible charm, maybe because it's pretty old, but also because of the unique relation of the characters.

This being said, I thought many more changes would have occured in each other's family.

But still, with only 5 episodes... It ends too soon :)

A lot of fun

A short and fun comedy that manages to use 2 classic tricks of doramas: the exchange of bodies and the difficulty of romance between two different worlds (punk vs. high society). The result is a good and funny dorama.
All actors are fairly good, the lead actors that had a difficult job (it would have been easy to overact in these kinds of roles) did it well, the script is good with the occasional twist. There are only a few hard-to-believe scenes that are quickly forgiven for the sake of the development of the romance and also because it's only 5 episodes.

So all in all a very good comedy. Recommended.

Note: Fans of Shinohara Ryoko, don't count too much on seeing your idol. She has a very very minor role and briefly appears only in the final episode :-)

Fun Fun Fun!!

A wonderfully endearing and amusing dorama. This is probably the closest I've seen to something resembling Hana Yori Dango and I must say I was quite pleasantly surprised. A bit manga-like at times, this dorama had an entertaining script and great acting from both leads. Supporting cast was quite good although some of the supporting characters could use a bit of improvement. Highly recommended!
