Similar body swap concept between older gangster/yakuzaa and younger man Younger man not good at fighting unlike the older man

The dad becoming young to change his daughter's life and as same son going past to change his father's past

In both there is change of bodies. In both an adult changes his body with a teenager. In one It is a criminal with a student, in the other It is a father with his daughter.

Both have the same basic premise of two people from very different worlds switch bodies and then the ensuing events result in various comedic and touching situations. In Reon, a playboy CEO (male) and an innocent office worker (female) switch bodies. In The Dude In Me, a high school kid (male) and a mafia boss (male) switch bodies.

High school, action, school bullying...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………,

Similar in the sense that both male leads appear weak to everyone and go through hardships like bullying, but later becomes really strong and proves them all wrong (in the best most thrilling ways)!

TDIM is similiar to WYD in terms of: - soul switch [older man in a younger man's body] - unknown child [in TDIM it's his daughter] - classroom setting of some sort [father and child attend same school and class] - it's a comedy - older man has an "difficult" job (for a highschooler) [in TDIM he is kind of a mafia boss]

The Dude in Me and Brave Citizen are both about high school, bullying and fighting. I found these films to be fun and fast-paced, albeit not particularly deep, and liked both endings. As a fan of the martial arts genre, I liked the fight choreo in both. Some more minor similarities between the two films are the hidden identity elements—there is a body swap in The Dude in Me and a disguised vigilante in Brave Citizen—and some slightly disturbing relationship dynamics—in The Dude in Me, a girl unknowingly asks out her father, who is possessing another person's body, and her father tries to romance the girl's mother, who is his first love, while in the body of a student, whereas in Brave Citizen, a school bully sexually harasses his teacher—but nothing weird actually happens, so don't let this stop you from watching. The Dude in Me juggles more subplots/narrative threads and themes than Brave Citizen, which is more straightforward. The Dude in Me is about two different people, their separate lives and most important relationships, and the challenges they face, so it spends less time in high school. Brave Citizen, on the other hand, is about the protagonist's quest to take down a school bully, so it's really all about the dysfunctional social environment in one particular school. I thought The Dude in Me was a slightly better film than Brave Citizen because the story was more complex and emotionally impactful, but as I said, they're both pretty fun.

Both have a body switch experience. Both have 'cheesy' comedy. Both switch between a high school student and an older guy.

Both of them have similar concepts of a middle-aged or elder person possessing or transforming into the body of a young man/woman and causing hilarity and confusion through that plot. Additionally, B1A4's Jinyoung stars in both the titles.

Not really similar apart from the body switch if that's your thing, with the added humour of a gender swap as well. Plus, you know, the great Hyun Bin.

Both the drama and the movie had a soul trapped in a different body. Both star Ms. Ra Mi Ran showing completely different roles.

After watching The Dude In Me, I was instantly reminded of Two Cops. Both The Dude in me and Two Cops revolve around body switching. One of the leads in both the movie and the drama is a gangstger. Both combine action and romantic elements, I also found both humorous and easy to watch. The character developments of the movie and the show are interresting and I think both plots are enjoyable. - Body switching - Action, romance, humor
