Totally worth watching!
Think '17 Again' with comedy which hits and a gangster twist. I was caught off guard by not only how funny it is, also the fun action scenes. The performances of Jung Jin-young and Park Sung-woong were brilliant and totally had me bought into the premise. Sung-woong in particular steals the show in the final act of the film.
The only thing which prevents it from getting a perfect score in my opinion is some of the plot points take a lot of suspension of disbelief. However, any gripes with the movie were easy enough to overlook considering how good of a ride it was!

Very enjoyable
The understated way the story unfolds and the pacing make this an enjoyable and funny movie. Body switch movies have been done many times but they are often slapstick or painful at times. This manages to avoid that. The touching back story and how both their lives improve is meaningful. Both the actors do a good job when in the other person's body. It's not a laugh a minute but there are quite a few laugh out loud moments and lots of feel good moments exciting fighting and well handled complex relationships between the parties.
refreshingly uncynical and joyous
The Dude In Me is a charming & hillarious film that is pure and spreads a great message. Surprisingly well directed, which also has some great action sequences. The storyline flowed very well with the events and the performances were impressive. A sweet and touching comedy from South Korea.
Good Enough
The dude inside me was funny. I enjoyed the pace and the way they presented the story. I also love Jung Jin Young in this one and he proved to be a great actor.
However, the scenes with the mother and her ex boyfriend in the body of the young student, although laughable, were a bit off, as it wasn't easy to sympathize and actually imagine that the one talking was not the young student but the mafia boss. However, Jin Young played those scenes masterfully.
Overall, the movie was funny and it had a nice conclusion, as well as good performances.
So, seven out of ten.
