Switch: Change the World (2018) User Reviews

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 22 May 2018]

Jang Geun Suk's official come back and he chose a drama where he is portaying a con artist who changes places with a procecutor. Unlike other crime solving dramas with many cases, this one focuses only on one vilain that is connected to the main character's past. So, not much are happening on the story front. There was a big twist towards the end, but not that it isn't easy to predict it. Overall, the story was just okay. When it comes to performances, the switching characters was interesting, though it got a bit tiring after a while, and Geun Suk was good in changing personalities as well. However, at some point, the two weren't that different. Again, the game between who's who, even though it was entertaining at the begining, it got a bit dull. The rest of the performances were really good as well. Summing up, I think that Switch was just an okay drama and it was entertaining sometimes. Just, don't expect too much from it.

Not your average crime drama

This drama was an excellent vehicle to showcase Jang Keun Suk's talent. His portrayal of two very different personalities was genius. Sa Do-chan, a doppleganger con-artist with a vendetta, gets recruited by the Prosecutor's Office when Baek Joon-su, a by-the-book prosecutor, is nearly murdered. For the remainder of the drama, the two end up "Switch"ing places to catch a white collar criminal whose fingers seem to be in every pot.

I've read other reviews that say the drama was predictable. I do not agree. There were several plot twists, and enough action to keep me coming back for the next episode. While it's true there was only one big fish, he was involved in so many different schemes that it gave the story variety and kept it from becoming stagnant. The cast and crew delivered a well executed program that was well received, and fans of the series are crying for a season two.
