The central character, Woo-jin, a furniture maker, wakes each morning in a different body (sometimes an old one, sometimes a very young one, sometimes a female or a male one, and - at odds with the title and ostensible theme of this South Korean romantic drama - very often a twentysomething and gorgeous one) but forget gender politics or a Benjamin Button study in ageism or anything very interesting at all - the constant Orlando transformations are a mere inconvenience for Woo-jin, who looks forlorn but still manages to clear customs and travel internationally, and are just a hurdle for his new girlfriend to get over as her and Woo-jin's relationship slowly (S - - L - - O - - W - - L - - Y) blossoms.
