Drama Digest

The story follows a famous idol and an entertainment reporter born on the same day, who start on the wrong foot but are pulled together by the strings of fate. A thunderbolt is heard, while the elevator thrusts, and with a zip-zap both characters swap bodies. This is just the beginning… 

The Feel-Good Part

The good thing about The Day of Becoming You in its being of the romance genre is that there are no unnecessary villains or toxic love rivals or unwilling families. The backgrounds of both the characters are varied as exact opposites but yet both show a sense of maturity and understanding throughout rather than a childish play. After swapping bodies with each other every time by coincidence, both Sheng Sheng and Jiang Yi gradually grow to rely on each other to get through everyday lives. 

The Disappointing Factor 

Although, by the end of all episodes will leave the viewer satisfied but the twist, in the end, was not at all required. Even without the twist, the story would’ve progressed just as the same. 

In-depth Analysis

When Sheng, a reporter in a media company tries to trick the popular band member, Jiang Yi, to get an exclusive interview, he doesn’t show up.

Sheng, coming from a loving and happy family, is a quite bold and confident person who is vocal about her thoughts and opinions. Jiang Yi is more of an introverted person who is fond of serene things. Throughout the story, the personalities of both the characters are served on point.

It was reported that an asteroid was close to Earth which created a magnetic field around, that being the reason behind why the bodies were swapped. After the first incident in the elevator, the characters keep switching between each other more often. 

The drama is solely focused on the love story of the main characters and there is no unwanted side story of any other characters, which makes this series a little different from the regular romance dramas. As for love rivals and love triangles, they are undoubtedly present but are not the imposing type to the main storyline. Therefore, the episodes are at a relaxed pace with sprinkles of humor. 

The other characters in the series also serve a well-paced performance, from Jiang Yi’s bandmates and Sheng’s best friend to both their families create a wholesome atmosphere. 

Though characters of Sheng and Jiang take a complete turn towards each other when compared to how they were at the beginning of the drama. After a series of events, their bond has gotten stronger as the story progresses paving the way towards a fulfilling ending. 

Star Power

When swapping bodies, both characters have to change roles; this mirroring was carried out well. It is not easy to keep switching between two different personalities as one person to act, but both the leads have brought it out successfully on-screen. 

Overall Opinion

If you would love something that has romance, humor, and a tinge of fantasy in it, then ‘The Day of Becoming You’ is worth all your time.
