Synopsis

Komatsubara Hishiko suspects her husband, Mugitaro, to be having an affair with one of his young staff at the office. Thinking to confront the lady, Hishiko goes to her husband's office, but then something strange happens! Hishiko and the young lady, Yamagishi Hoshimi, swap bodies. So, from a 39 year old housewife prone to anxiety attacks and day-dreaming, Hishiko is now a 20 year old Office Lady (OL). On the other hand, Hoshimi, who tends to speak her mind freely, finds herself in the role of wife and mother.
In Hoshimi's body, Hishiko gets to see her husband at work for the first time and starts to appreciate and respect him. As she rediscovers her husband's charm points, will it help her to fall in love all over with him again?!

What a good surprise

8 / 10

Jackykero · 2014

The premise of the series has been done before: 2 people from different backgrounds switch bodies (in this case a young single working woman and an older homemaker mom). But it usually works, and it does this time.

It has all the qualities it needs: the story is well written, some new elements come regularly to spice up the story and it does not repeat itself, the acting is good all the way through (Suzuki Sawa is showing her talent for comedy), the pace is maintained and the comedy works.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy :-)
