1st off this is a romcom (in particular a Hong sisters romcom), so certain things are taken to the extreme, but even so, 17-18 yr old guys can act very childish among their close friends.

Heck, grown men whether they be in military or in some business get-together can also act quite childish (and I’m talking about in the US).

And really, how “childish” is GY’s version really?

Sure, he falls back on the child excuse to get his way w/ Da-ran (since she’s so easy to manipulate/guilt trip), but he acts mature when he has to (meeting Da-ran’s parents, dealing w/ the bank, etc. in order to buy the house, saving Da-ran from confronting Se-young).

Was Shin’s version not “childish” when he rode his motorbike so that he would spray Da-ran w/ (filthy) rain water?

And while yes, there is a bit of a disconnect btwn the 2 versions (the blame there goes to the writing), we really didn’t have a chance to see Shin’s version really relate to anybody close (it’s easy to maintain a facade w/ people you don’t know).

It’s so funny because after watching the first ep, I was worried that I was going to miss the real Kyung Joon immensely once Yoon Jae got possessed by him. Thank goodness Gong Yoo is the man as usual because I was seriously starting to ship Kyung Joon and Da Ran after just one episode and was wondering if Gong Yoo could fill that void. I came into the show watching for the comeback of Gong Yoo and was surprised to find that in one episode I was more fascinated with the rookie actor that is Shin Won-ho and his chemistry with Lee Min Jung. I too hope there’s not an “eleventh hour” return of the real Kyung Joon. In fact I hope (even though it would be straight out of Secret Garden) that at a certain point, something happens that lets Kyung Joon temporarily wake up in his own body and truly have a moment with Da Ran without being in Yoon Jae’s shell.

Hope when the kiss scene come, both Gong Yoo and Shin Wo can appear to do it!! Since when I saw the soul exchange I mostly imagine Shin Wo did all act even Gong Yoo in front of my glass..

Haha so true! Recently I’ve been looking at the teenage EXO maknaes (…and I’m only 19) and calling them “babies” and saying how I have a completely different set of feels for them than for people like Ji Hyun Woo or Par Shi-Yoo. …until I realize even the youngest EXO member is still only a year or two younger then me and the oldest is older than me (…and I still call the older ones “babies”)! Somehow even if the actors or whatever are 1 or 2 years younger (only) then us girls…immediately we feel like “pedo-noonas” LOL. But 25-year old guys looking at 20-year old girls never have that issue.

…I can’t wait until I get over 25 and the younger actors/idols come out. I’m gonna feel so guilty then.

Um? Considering Shin is also in his twenties by now it’s not creepy at all. Can you imagine a twentysomething male expressing guilt for liking a twenty-one-year-old female? Of course not – so why should you?

[Tangent time!] I don’t know why some women are so afraid to admit to liking a man that’s younger; I remember Yoon Eun Hye saying in a recent interview that she couldn’t choose Kim Soo Hyun as her ideal (that’s what they were asking about) because: “he is so much younger than me~ that would almost be a crime, a crime.”

He’s 24. She’s 27. If the genders were reversed and HE was the one who was three/four years older, the idea of him saying something similar would be preposterous.

Now, if you’re over thirty and having lots of feels for the teenage EXO maknaes or something, that’s another matter, lol.

I always thot Gong Yoo makes the character KJ seems childish when I didn’t see any of that coming from Shin as KJ before the swap. KJ seems rather calm and collected, much like YJ, but in a much boyish and devil-may-care manner . So I just thot Gong Yoo exaggerated a bit. But then, we didn’t get to see much of KJ before the swap, so the spectrum of behavior he displayed maybe only within the context of that limited circumstances before swap. He’s probably actually that much more fun and spontaneous (as per GY’s portrayal), just that the situation isn’t there when he was in his original body for him to display such behavior.
