Well nothing new here, if you read more than 3 of HWANG Mi-Ri's work then you should know that all her manhwas are 80% similar (no character development, a doormat as the heroine, an all-knowing/all-doing knight in shining armor as her love interest, one bitchy girl who hates the heroine and tries all she can to make her life miserable, and a bunch of other characters who are just for display). However, unlike "He Dedicated to Roses" and "Hot Blooded Woman" where the plot at least was flowing nicely, this one in particular I found very annoying and confusing. The story is really allover the place, it just didn't have any order, and I always found myself going "wait, WHAT?".
What's more annoying is that the dialog between the characters was more than confusing, and didn't make sense. Now I'm not sure if the translating was bad (thanx anyways) but if thats what it sounded in the original then I really think that some 7 year old kid could have come up with a better dialog. For example, when the heroine (forgot her name) is telling the guy that the reason for the switch is the closet, he laughs and doesnt believe her (which I found very stupid, seeing how they are in each others bodies, yet he is still finding that one little detail hard to believe), and then few chapters later he, and out of nowhere, says "ohh yeah I think it's the closets fault" WTF?
Furthermore, I still honestly dont understand why all those guys love her? I mean in other mangas where the heroine is loved by many men, the mangaka at least tries to show the reason why she is lovable. But in this case, the girl is not pretty (that's what everyone says about her), stupid, has no idea what to say and what to do, she's weak (well like all the other shoujo heroines) and stupid, no no not naive, but PLAIN STUPID! basically everything about her makes you hate her.
Having said that, the whole story of the body-switching, although not new, but still was good. What I didn't like is the mangaka trying to spoon feed the information to us, details are good, but it's also important to allow the reader to make his own assumptions, and try to understand the characters, it's more fun this way.
Other than that, the art was not great, but not bad, as a matter of fact I think it's the only reason why I kept on reading for 10 volumes. However, I didn't like the fact that she had the same hair style for the entire 10 volumes.
I rate this manga 2/10, and I know this might seem harsh, but if you like me, have read "100% Perfect Girl", "Anatolia Story" and other great shoujo mangas, they kind of set your standards high and not many can compare.
