The description and still image chosen by Netflix did not to this show justice. Judging from them I had anticipated a thriller. What we ended up with was a pretty cheesy romantic melodramedy where the end makes zero sense with what happens earlier in the show, in particular the video clip sent by the supposed serial killer when he's in the female cop's body to the female cop who is stuck in his body.
The premise - a serial killer and a cop switching bodies - would have made for an excellent feature length thriller. But since we're living in the age of streaming everything must be stretched into a ten hour series, regardless of whether they have enough story or character development to actually fill those ten episodes.
The acting is pretty weak throughout, and the show is chock full of the usual Japanese style of overacting (especially in comedies) with screaming aplenty.
The best thing was probably the song "Tadaima" by Aoi Teshima playing in every episode.
A fun drinking game would be taking a shot every time you hear jingle bells or the "moon ding" (watch the show and you'll know). Prepare to die quickly of alcohol poisoning.
Not a horrible show, just mediocre and a failed opportunity. It killed ten hours but is nothing I'll watch again. However, I have listened to more of Aoi Teshima's music, so thanks for that tip.
