Satisfying, charming and surprising - a film that keeps its supernatural elements grounded in reality, with the focus on the spirituality of true love.

3/5

<Based on a series of American shorts from 2012, in which a man goes to sleep and wakes up every day in a new body, it's an often charming, magical-realist illustration of the old maxim that beauty is only skin-deep. But it could have been so much more.

The film, pleasing and inoffensive, often amuses as it wrestles with the nature of familiarity as well as the question of where beauty resides.

3/5

Do not expect a thought-provoking movie that pushes boundaries. Instead, first-time Korean feature film director Baek Jong Yul serves up a feel-good romance.

It's an occasionally touching romance that plays it far too safe.

The film's strong-minded goal to see these two stay together has enough heart to charm anybody no matter what form they take.

Wow, what a thought provoking movie. If we could all love each other based on the inside, the world would be a wonderful place. Be open to the premise of this movie and enjoy it.

I really got lucky to stumble across this movie. Even though I think it is a remake of another film, it is virtually flawless. The concept is fascinating, so much so that I have used it as an example in my teaching on the importance of identity recognition.
