    1. I remember the female lead studied hard to gain her parents' approval, but she was hurt by them instead. She did well on her high school entrance exam, but at the start of the new semester, her homeroom teacher and the homeroom teacher of the next class were bitter rivals. The next class teacher said the female lead definitely couldn't beat the male lead (who had faked a bad exam result). The female lead's opinion was, why should girls be inferior to boys? The next class teacher gave the male lead a challenge (the content of which could easily incite conflict between boys and girls). The male lead noticed something was wrong when he read it and didn't read that part, but later he saw the challenge... I think it was in the second year of high school. The female lead's homeroom teacher was extremely unfriendly to girls, and her grades were among the lowest in the class. Later, with the male lead's help and guidance, she successfully turned things around (it's undeniable that the female lead was very capable and resilient; the male lead's help was just icing on the cake, and her efforts shouldn't be completely denied). 2. Because their souls were swapped, the two had to study many subjects. I cried a few times while watching it. They were so hardworking, neither of them wanting to drag the other down, often studying until the early hours of the morning. I really felt they endured more than they should have, but ultimately, things took a turn for the better. They didn't give in to fate and both became wonderful people.
