Switch Girl!! (2011)

Even though I had some fun while watching this drama there are things that could have been done better. The characters feel fake for most of the time even when expressing their feelings, the lead girl seems to cry out loud a lot and I can't really connect much with the characters specially because it seems overacted. Even though I liked the actors that played each roll because they were each sort of unique in their own way, I can't help but dislike their acting in this drama.

The story is good it's just underdeveloped, with such an idea I think more could have been done even if it was just 8 episodes and I also think that for such a short drama too much was crammed in the story which is what kinda ruins it because there is barely any time to connect with the characters.

Since it's a short and somewhat fun drama it would make for a good watch to just kill off time or for something short and quick to watch.

The original reason why I watch this series is because my best friend said that she just watch a very stupid dorama but it's just so damn funny. LOL.
And then I watched it.

Story:
For me, the story is not too stunning, it's all about high school student story, but the strong point for me is the comical effects! Geez, that's really increase my evaluation because I can laugh from the very first episode to the very last minutes of the last episode.

Acting/Cast :
All the casts are new for me back then, but in my opinion Nishiuchi Mariya's acting is the most outstanding one. Not many people fit with comical expression, but she did great and the expression fit her well too ^o^

First season of Switch girl, and here are my thoughts: an easy drama to watch, but the concept wasn't executed that good. The manga concept was all over the place, but the girl was pulling it of so well that it didn't look cheap at least. The whole switch personalities was funny at the begining, but the drama focused on the pretty character's romance rather than the comedy part, and that just ended up being one of those rom coms that obviously repeat themselves. The rude girl story was okay, but the teacher drama was odd and kind of idiotic. Still, it's an easy drama to follow, with funny characters and an okay love story.

It's entertaining, but it's not gonna WOW you whatsoever... I think if you're planning to watch something quick and light this might be the one for you!! As I've already read plenty of romance Japanese manga, I didn't have high expectations as they most likely, you know,  just the typical clumsy girl or damsel in distress paired with a super hot popular dude at school...

I think the actors did OK... but please don't compare Japanese's dramas to Korean's!! Because I feel like Japanese's they always try to make it as similar as possible to the original stories, and since they're usually based on famous manga they tend to exaggerate their expressions (maybe you can read some manga after this just to check if I was right xD) Oh and FYI if you didn't know, this one also based on famous manga with the same title :D

Nevertheless, this one is great to binge watch!! Especially if you're in "too lazy to think" condition!! Recommended...

NB: Sorry if I made grammar mistakes T.T

IT'S FUNNY. LMAO.

It's a usual story but you'll definitely have fun watching it! Lol. I think I laughed in every episode. The female character's imaginations and expressions are just superb! HAHAHA! 😂 I love her fam too~ they're adorable ^^

And, the lead characters are lovely. I love how even if they have opposite personalities, there was no unnecessary push and pull. You'll love seeing them together. ^^ They're just natural.

Again, the story was nothing new but if I have to extract something out of this, well you see, different situations can really make a person into something--even turning 180 degrees from who you really are. It sucks when that happens. You know what they say, it will either make you or break you.

Anyway, I enjoyed watching. It was fun!

If you're looking for a sign on whether to watch it or not, here it is. Go watch it! 😁
