She Is Different Day and Night (2024)

Cringe, plot holes but interesting story

This is one of those dramas that had me multitasking to avoid beeing annoyed by the many moments of cringe, it is a lso a drama that may just may give you SLS.

However, there are a bunch of cute cats the female lead (both old and young) is really cool and found family friendships for as far as they eye can see... Almos (only almost) makes up for it. But the Chemistry between the leads is kind of off, but I do like the cast as well as seeing people that are not so young take the lead in this. However while the agism is adressed interestlingly here there is some pretty blunt fatshaming so be were. Also most of the twist were predictable there where a few that caught me slightly off guard, not so much the person but the motiv, something that is pretty rare in ks these days.

The OST is nice, some of it reminds me of Rickey Martins - living la vida loca, but the rest is nice.


An okay watch, but nothing I would recommend

Interesting amalgamation of an old storyline, unique-ish fantasy element and brilliant acting

I held off watching this show because of the mystery tag as I usually do not do well with long cliffhangers and only started watching this before the Finale aired so that I could binge-watch this and finish with the final episode, and oh my god, what fun these last two days have been!

First, the story. It's nothing new. This serial killer-like genre has been quite popular with Korean dramas and as somebody who has watched way too many of such shows, I wasn't necessarily impressed with the story per se. Just like other thrillers, it has some major plot holes and things that realistically don't make sense but they are very easy to overlook because you're so hooked onto the story. It did not have anything new but still, it stood out for me because of the fantasy element. It was very nicely done, unwrapped and wrapped up again without making me go mad. Unlike a lot of people here, I wasn't getting annoyed at the late reveal (caveat: maybe that's because I saw it in two days and did not have to actually wait for long week after week). I'm not a fan of fantasy elements and I was still able to enjoy it which means it has been nicely done.

But I think the credit for that goes to one and only Lee Jung Eun. Don't get me wrong. Everyone from the male and female leads to the supporting cast (especially Jung Young Joo) has worked beautifully and done their best, but what took this show to another level for me was the stellar acting by Jung Eun. I've watched her works before, so her brilliant acting is no surprise. What a character, what amazing comic timing and such great feels. She's given her all to the show and it really shows. She brought so much light to this otherwise heavy theme and dark-ish vibe of the show. I absolutely loved the vibe her character was oozing throughout.

One thing to note (only because it rarely happens with me and I was very very surprised) was the second lead syndrome I got in this show, until the very last episode. I'm very happy for our lead couple, they really suit each other and there was never any ill-intention by any of the characters, but omg, my heart was going all out for our Ko Won. It was my first time seeing Seo Hoo and I'm so impressed with his skills, love it! I just love how supporting all the characters in this show are shown: Ko Won, Mr Ju, Ga Yeong, and the parents. Brilliant writing of the characters!

It's a nice show with lots of light-hearted scenes. I wouldn't rate this as a romance though but even that bit has been good in the show. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching it and would definitely recommend watching it.

One of my Best Shows in 2024, Please do Watch!!!

I loved Lim Sun more than Lee Mi Jin, irrevocably and undeniably!

Frankly, I never thought that watching a middle age woman living her life to the fullest would be so much fun. Metaphorically, this story focuses on Lim Sun, Lee Mi Jin’s missing aunt but in the diabolical sense, it is Mi Jin masquerading as her aunt. How does that happen? We have a well-meaning cat to blame for it. One thing I love about the dramas in JTBC’s Saturday- Sunday slot is that the stories are always so meaningful, the casting is phenomenal, my weekends for the past few months were so heartwarming. I’m already looking forward to the next contender “Romance in the House”. Starring Jung Eun Ji, Lee Jung Eun, Choi Jin Hyuk in lead roles, “Miss Night and Day” stretches fantasy too into reality. Lee Jung Eun as Lim Sun is so inspirational and sweet, that you tend to forget about the other leads, she outshines them. That is probably the charm of this show, which portrays a 30-year-old woman trapped in a 50-year-old body. The hijinks are phenomenal, because obviously Lim Sun never acts her age; from typing sheets at a lightening speed to climbing rock mountains, she does everything perfectly and endlessly without getting tired. This was one of my favorite shows in a long, long time, so let’s debrief!

fantasy that forgot it was fantasy

we need more "ahjumma" centered dramas, like dear my friends
The good
I’m glad this year there were plots that lets ahjummas shine (also connection)
MLs cute smiles
the sweet and alive parents

The meh
I love eunji, tho yeah her character ?
Murder mastery plot twist, tho the murderer?

The bad
It was practically an office drama
Drrrraaagggy
Eventho ml had cute smiles, the romance was non existent
Which makes me think if they got together sooner and stuff, it’d have been even duller
Tbh without mom, I’d not have continued ?
eventho it was "fantasy" it was just practically just an office drama


they kept the double identity a secret and lost half the charm, the only fun parts were when Ju Byeong Deok saw the idol with the ahjumma

I would interpret not telling him cuz she was involved in “identity theft”
And sure she didn’t tell her parents cuz she wanted them to think the job she got was hers

But I wanted her to empathize that a bit more especially since she was stealing her aunts identity
But I never felt like she was feeling any remorse or guilt for that and she just didn’t want them to know or actually feared that, she was just ok living life like that

Her father was in danger just cuz he went to the murderer on his own
Which is stupid cuz why would’ve he “hired her” to look for his sil when she was just a “waitress”??‍♀️ then go back to her when she never found anything ?

The villain didn’t know her identity until she saw the pic on his phone, she just knew the face she never knew the name


So yeah the story didn’t have any solid writing and every ep was a filler?

The Female Lead disappoints.

I watched because of CJH, having seen his impressive acting before. His chemistry with all the actors in this show is quite good resulting in many well-executed comedic moments. Except with the FL. Her acting is forced, voice and facial expressions monotonous, laughter irritating. Their scenes together are quite awkward and amateurish and i'm very sure it's not CJH's fault. it also doesn't help that the script is written fairly well for all characters except for the conversations between the 2 leads. Bottomline, i like many parts of this series except that i can't get rid of the irritation brought about by the FL. They should have chosen a better actress.

A Fun Time

FL Mi Jin is a job seeker?‍? struggling to find employment for a couple of years now. A recently scammed, desperate and frustrated ? Mi Jin has lost all hopes of realising her employment dreams. When she suddenly gets gifted with super powers by a magical cat ?. What kind of superpowers you might ask? A power that will help her find a job? Nope. Her power is that she turns into a granny ?during the day and back to normal during the night?. To my biggest surprise and I know to yours as well she is able to get a job as her granny self. (Wow shows it's easier to get a job as a retired elderly person than a young graduate looking to a entry into the working field.) Anyway said powers curse or gift were given for a reason as it can help her find her aunts killer?! How? I don't know ?because as things turned out she didn't need to be old to find the killer, in fact the killer found her. The powers I believe was fun addition or distraction used to add tension between the FL and ML. Frustrating!!!

This drama was fun and I have to admit I laughed a bit. The FL and ML actually worked together, i felt the chemistry?‍❤️‍?. For criticism: 1. The Cat?!!! How did it become magical? Where did it come from and why now?? Was the cat the soul of her aunt? HOW IS THIS AGING THING EVEN POSSIBLE!!! ?‍?But I guess this is was we call a plot device, some unexplainable thing that just moves the plot along. 2. The useless 2nd male lead?‍♂️. Honestly the 2 ML was not needed in the drama. The fact that he just disappeared in the last 2 episode proves this. 3. The villain was so easy to spot. I mean the moment I met her I instantly knew she was the serial killer. 4. The writing and pacing. This could have easily been a 10 episode drama. The stories were draged for no reason.?
However, I enjoyed it, fun watch. If you're in a slump and really need something to watch I suggest you give this a try.
Ps. Coming into this drama with no expectations is the only way you will enjoy it. Rating one?

I like this Drama until ep 8 was going to watch till end

This was nice drama until ep8
after that just like every other drama writer started taking free drugs
FL has turn into a dirt in ep10,
ML deserve better person in his life, Physical attraction is not anything
character is too,
this only Drama where i want ML to be more Cold then what they calling cold, but he is very warm hearted person
while FL is selfish Idiot

In this same story if Genders are reversed that ML would be a playboy jerk scambag,
but since its FL she is allowed to lead two man
and creepy IDOL do all idols born mannerless ?
picking someone else phone and Answering it without permission but , Fl would be super fine with it,
having friend like Creepy SML is a clear sign your girlfriend is going to cheat sooner or later
so its better to distance before she become your girlfriend
it was 10/10 until ep 10 aired i was hoping they would clear thing up, but FL just admitted her character being lose at end

FL first try to kiss ML without his consent
then she spend a night with another man(searching for cat)
but that man pick her phone without her permission and talk shit to ML
that's it ML doesn't need to go after that mess of person, he is better of alone can surely find a better girl.......

Hope FL die from old Age with her creepy Idol.

FL deserve some jail time for identity theft and JOB fraud

Not just a classic romantic Korean drama

Very well produced k drama. There is no unnecessary plot (side stories), it is funny but at the same time it approaches a sensitive topic in a very good manner: job hunting, job opportunities for elderly and work environment in South Korea. Other problems, such as corruption and illicit activities are also part of the plot, but the way this drama handles it makes it easy to watch, one can really immerse oneself in the story. It is original and funny. Love, comedy, mystery, suspense, awareness of real life situations: this show has it all! I have watched MANY dramas and this one is no doubt one of my favourites.

Almost dropped this half way through episode one and wasn't going to give it a chance at all only I'm so glad I did!

Not a rom-com fan so have had to fast forward through a few predictable boring moments between Mr Cold and Miss Night, but on the most part each episode has been fine.

With the main leads (young ones) I have to say I'm not really into their dynamics at all nor the hot/cold shoulder treatment or whimsical hurt female after being rejected or whatever the situation might be.

The humour in this is great, however, and the timing is on point.

I've actually enjoyed the relationship between Miss Day and the second lead - it is so hard case.

Watching their scenes over and over again is something I could do quite easily just for the laugh. For example, the cafe scene in Episode 9.

Am also enjoying the true crime mystery to it, but not how there always seems to be a connection between the leads from crossing paths somehow in their childhoods.

Anyhow, 6 episodes to go and I'm hoping this keeps me invested until the end!

Recommended!
