In the second episode, Danny, who is tall, handsome and strong, is popular with girls but has poor grades, and Jacob, who is relatively short and thin, is usually not popular with girls but has good grades and is good at drawing, and swap bodies in a machine.
The original Jacob, looking at his tall, handsome and strong companion, must be envious and longing in his heart. When Danny was chatting games with girls, he would stand on the side at a loss, with a look of embarrassment and daze, he would stare at the girl he liked, Mei, but he was cowardly even to say hello, and he didn't get it. May's response.
I think Jacob, who has just changed his body, is scared but still excited. He will shout excitedly after outrunning "Jacob", he will appreciate his muscles in the shower, he will be in the valley with girls Kiss in the barn.
But as "Danny" returned home, he confronted "Danny"'s father who was drinking and his sister who couldn't speak, and persuaded "Danny" to face the reality that his grades were not good enough to go to the ring, and went to his uncle's collection. He didn't know how to face the work in the stone field, and everything seemed to be different from what he imagined.
Jacob wanted to change his body back. After being rejected for the first time, he saw the scene of "Jacob" and May kissing, so he went to "Jacob" angrily and asked to change his body back, but he didn't expect "Jacob" defended that he wanted to help Jacob, but resolutely did not agree to change it back. The two fought a lot. At this time, "Jacob"'s father heard the news and came to the room, persuaded them to stop, and asked "Dan" to stop. "Ni" left, "Danny" could only leave angrily, he returned to the machine by himself, but never came back.
At this time, Danny finally began to feel guilty. He missed Jacob, his good brother, but when he arrived at the machine, he found that the machine had begun to be disassembled. He understood that everything was over, and he lost his body and his family forever. And back at home, at the dining table, he found that he finally had the opportunity to work in a circle, and he could also interpret not drawing anymore as not liking it anymore. It seemed that everything was just as he imagined. Perhaps while sad, he also began to feel satisfied.
Based on the plot that follows, I have a reasonable suspicion that Jacob has swapped bodies with the robot. But there are still many question marks for children... For example, if you change someone, your family and friends don't notice it at all? Wouldn't a sudden drop in grades be suspected? Don't my brother think it's strange that my brother suddenly can't draw and doesn't draw anymore? But none of this is explained in the next episode, and it's a different perspective to talk about what happened to May later, only to know that Jacob was green...
Want to use May's comforting words in episode 3, "everyone is not perfect", to describe my understanding of this episode, Danny's appearance condition is very popular, but he actually always wants to live Jacob's life , Jacob's family background grades are very good at drawing, but he has always envied Danny's popularity with girls. They each have their own imperfections, but they want to be each other. It wasn't until Jacob discovered that Danny could kiss May even if he changed it into his body, and that physical condition was not the limit for him to gain the love of the girl he liked. He suddenly realized that he wanted to return to his original life. Danny, on the other hand, enjoyed Jacob's life very much. It was not until he saw his parents who were sad and sad, his sister's innocent and dazed appearance, and how he seemed to have lost his good brother Jacob forever, that he felt a trace of regret and loss.
