You probably know Hyun Bin as the dashing male lead from Crash Landing on You; here though, see him as a much, much younger actor, playing a spoilt rich brat. He and Ha Ji Won meet accidentally and are out for each others throats before things take a fantasy turn – their souls swap forcibly -and then the love story part of the series begins.
