Daddy You, Daughter Me (2017)

An attempt at a review

(I ran the entertainment section on my high school’s newspaper, but I had to review recent releases. It occurred to me that on tumblr I can talk about whatever weird things I find that I want)

So. This movie certainly exists. I don’t love it, but I definitely don’t hate it, either. It’s just…there.

Daddy You, Daughter Me (아빠는 딸, “Abbaneun Ddal” in Korean) is a movie I came across the other day while trying to remember the name of a completely different East Asian media that had been recommended to me (which I have since found, but that isn’t the point). The movie is about the typical parent-child Freaky Friday plot, but instead of the mother, it’s the FATHER that swaps with the daughter.

The movie is apparently based on a Japanese novel called Seven Days For a Dad and a Daughter, but given I’ve never read the book, I can’t say if it’s a loyal adaptation. I CAN say it follows a lot of the same plot beats as the 2003 remake of Freaky Friday (which is one of my favorite movies) in the first half of the story, but it begins to diverge more as the story goes on, and I can only assume must have been in the book.

The movie has a lot of great visual humor (such as when the daughter, as the dad, walks to the train station while jamming to pop music through brightly colored headphones, or the father, as the daughter, rocking very stereotypically Dad Clothes whenever he can. There were a few good jokes told as well, but I think it’s possible that I missed several, as the subtitles on the copy I had were often a very literal translation and/or grammatically incorrect. That being said, I got the vibe that English wasn’t the first language of whoever translated the movie, so even though there were definitely parts I didn’t fully understand, I let it slide.

The characters were honestly kinda lacking. The reason I love Freaky Friday and it’s adaptations (including the musical, but NOT Disney Channel’s version of the musical) is because it makes you care for the whole cast, not just the two protagonists. You get to learn about their family, the daughter’s friends and love interest, the parent’s coworkers. There were certainly elements of that in this movie, but not to the same extent. In fact, something that stood out to me was the father and daughter agreeing “we can’t tell Mom,” but not long after, the mom completely disappears from the plot. The focus is exclusively on the father-daughter relationship, but even then, there wasn’t too much depth to the exposition. The only name of any character I can remember is the daughter, Do-yeon.

Even though the characters weren’t stellar, the plot was actually really strong. Strong for being a movie whose main trope has like maybe two gimmicks, but I’m a sucker for these kinds of stories and I like seeing various takes on it. Do-yeon and her father make a mutual wish that they’d try to understand each other’s lives under a ginkgo tree in her grandfather’s yard, which he explains will grant wishes made from the bottom of the heart. Once they actually switch, the grandfather explains that such a spell takes seven days, and then it will fix itself, implying something like this has happened before. First off, I really like that they know ahead of time how long the situation will last, seeing them count down was nice continuity. And having a longer time frame than other body swap stories made the plot feel busy, because there was more time to get things done. Could be a plus.

The themes….kinda lost me. Do-yeon feels she will be an embarrassment to her father if she can’t keep up in school and go to college, her father feels that they’re not as close as they were when she was a child and wants to be listened to again. Having to take a high school exam shows him that school has changed, and he comes to the conclusion that you don’t need college to be successful. Do-yeon has fun at work, but she also finds out how stressful and lonely adult life can be. The movie makes it look like they’ll come to an agreement….and then Do-yeon realizes she was a complete bitch and was completely in the wrong. And also, she goes to college anyway. And the dad doesn’t change much, other than having a BIT more patience with her.

I understand this is a cultural thing, since familial devotion is a HUGE deal in South Korea, but it doesn’t seem fair to have that set up and not pay off. It doesn’t help we don’t see any of Do-yeon’s life beforehand. She’s introduced as a sweet child, and then a sullen teen who gets easily embarrassed by her parents, and this is apparently an objectively bad thing. She doesn’t talk about her own struggles until the end, making her seem impulsive and rude until she suddenly decided to grow up, but there’s no way to know if that’s what she’s actually like.

Overall the movie is just….fine. Nothing special, but fine. 5/10, I guess.
