Shin Suk-ki (Lee Johng-hyeok) is a self confident lawyer specialising in
merging big companies, cost it what may for the companies employees, he's
good-looking, drives a fancy convertible, has lots of money, is on the
brink of becoming the CEO in the company he works for, is engaged to the
company's owner's daughter, & he knows all the right moves to get a
girl laid. Of course, for all these reasons, nobody lieks him ... nobody
but the compnay's receptionist Jin-young (Kim Hyun-joo), who's madly in
love with him.
He of course only takes advantage of the naive girl, has sex with her,
& pretty much breaks it off immediately afterwards ... & what's
more, his fiancee has soon found out & fires her.
Then though, he & another man, also a lawyer named Shin Suk-ki (Lee
Sung-jae), but
a hopeless loser, have a near fatal elevator accident, & while Shin Suk-ki's
body falls into a coma, his soul is somehow transferred into Shin Suk-ki
the loser, who is pretty ugly, hasn't even got a cr only a bicylce, lives
in a run-down appartment (& can't even pay the rent) & run's a
hopeless little lawyer's office without any cases that make real money ...
but as Shin Suk-ki soon finds out, he for the first time has friends.
Soon, he crosses ways with Jin-young again, who's now out of a job,
& somehow he ends up helping her in court to get her job backby sueing
his old company, even though that proves not to be quite as easy as it
sounds. But all the while, he tries to return to his old self, being
convinced that a magical fortune telling ashtray is the reason for it all,
& finding the ashtray again would turn him back - but of copurse the
ashtray proves to be impossible to find ...
While helping Jin-young in her case against the company though, the 2
get closer to each other, & wouldn't you know it, before long he falls
hopelessly in love with her, but this time it's her, who shows an at best
fading interest in him, but at least after a while she opens up a little
to him.
Ultimately though, Shin Suk-ki finds the ultimate proof that the
company laid off Jin-young unfairly - in his old self's files he has to
steal from the company with the burglar couple who lives next door.
When he presents the evidence in court, it sheds such a bad light on
his old self, that Jin-young at last forgets about him (old self) &
falls inlove with him (new self) instead. & of course, soon they are
engaged to be married ... but on the wedding day, Shin Suk-ki finds the
magic ashtray again, & he misses his own wedding trying to decide if
he should go back to his old self or find happiness with Jin-young ...
In the end, he decides himself for Jin-young, just in case you
wondered.
Pretty cheesy romantic comedy, that doesn't really offer anything new -
all the plot twists, up until the ending announce themselves long before
they actually happen, up until the moralistic outcome, & the film's
message ("be humble & good in order to find true happiness")
couldn't be more pedestrian. The nicest thing to say about this film might
be that it sould have been way more schmaltzy would it have been given the
Hollywood treatment. That it could have been worse doesn't make it a good
film though.
