It could have been better
There are many things wrong with this drama, from the miraculous face swap (it is a lazy alternative to transmigration; they can invent something better) to her learning all sorts of abilities in a few months just because the plot says she can. I wish it were that easy to become a martial artist. It didn’t help that the first actress had more acting skills and was more able to express emotions. I really did feel bad for her until she became the other person, and then my care disappeared as the actress was too wooden. The male lead was okay despite the famous wig problem everyone noticed, or at least he was in the first half of the show. Later, they tried some kind of comedy with him, and it just felt cringeworthy. His acting didn’t keep up later on, but considering how the story developed, it wasn’t surprising. It is a kind of story we have already seen before but seemed interesting. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to its premise. After maybe a third of the episodes, it started feeling weird, like a Frankenstein production of different ideas patched together. Everything was underwhelming, and it was difficult to finish. Don’t get me started on the weird love triangle with her brother, a completely unnecessary part. If she was only his sister’s lookalike, but she literally wore her face! So, to summarise, the beginning was quite interesting. They could have invented something else instead of the face swap. I believe if they had swapped the actresses, it would have been a bit better. For a 24-episode show, it could have been even shorter by taking away all the ridiculous and unnecessary things they filled in the second part. The ost was nice.
