A surprising friendship.

This is the bromance I didn't expect to stumble upon. We follow a young teenager, Yi Heon, who in his suicide attempt, welcomes the soul of a gangster, Kim Deuk Pal, into him. The premise is simple, he goes from a bullied, lonely and hopeless young man to a studious, social, popular one who likes to uphold justice in his school.
There, he 'meets', or at least connects with another young man, Se Kyung, with whom he will form a very strong friendship as this one tries to uncover Yi Heon's secret behind his change of personality. We witness scenes of friendship and support between the two young men from abusive households. They come to support each other.

I really didn't expect from the synopsis that this would turn out to be a bromance, I thought it would be a typical drama where the 'loser' reclaims his life, but it offers a better perspective that he finds people who care about him.

Similarly, the plot develops a little (as much as 8 episodes allow) with a secretary skemming to take the place of the chairman's wife, because yes Yi Heon turns out to be the illegitimate son of a rich chairman from a construction company. Along the way, Yi Heon meets Kim Deuk Pal's acquaintances, who obviously doesn't recognize him with his new body, this leads to a lot of action and misunderstandings.

Overall, it's really a 'break' series, that we consume between series that are very long or emotionally heavy. It's light and enjoyable, I would have liked the series to benefit from more episodes just to watch the friendship between Yi Heon and Se Kyung, but it makes sense that there are only 8 episodes.

The production and the actors are good. Yoon Chan Young is a rising actor that I kept my eyes on after his breakout series on Netflix, he keeps choosing interesting projects mixing action and complex acting, so to be continued.
