Vice Versa

I'm already used to product placement in GMMTV series but this time they exaggerate it. Let's talk about the series, after brushing our teeth with dent toothpaste. The couple was cute, eating KFC in both universes. With the inhaler stick and nivea anti akne the plot idea was quite interesting. Lets drink a 0% sugar ice tea and look at the nice sixpack of Jimmy. The problem of the series, that is as tasty as the two new Lays flavors, is, that if you would cancel all advertisement, it had only 5 episodes, which would be as creamy as the cake snack. But so there are episodes, where they forget the story line by just making an overkill of advertisement. The guys are cute, the story idea quite cool, but I recommend to make a drinking game of it. If you drink every time a shot, if you find a product placement, you will be very drunk after two episodes and will enjoy even more the series. So GMMTV, please don't do this to your characters, it makes a good idea to a big. Sometimes rather awkward commercial.

The plot of Vice Versa is very fresh. It is a new plot to the bl industry. You may find soul switching boring but here, they do not only switch souls, also travel to the other universe. Parallel universe aside, the story is so beautiful. Believe me. I am so picky with any series or drama. But Vice Versa got me. I have read the novel too. Don't tell any bad about vice versa if you haven't watched a second of it. Just give it a try.

I am a huge fan of Jimmy after Bad buddy the series and I was anticipating this show since the first trailer came out. The pilot was intriguing with the whole parallel universes,swapping the universes,different rules,but then the show lost its purpose and forgot the premise. There is no conflict, no stakes, no goals for the protagonist, even finding the portkey thing is vague to the point of being annoying. I am disappointed. They didn't even try to write a decent story. I stopped watching after episode 5. What would have been more interesting to follow is the story of the other universe where the two best friends drifted apart by differences in this universe. Their we could follow how they would struggle to survive and solve their differences to become friends again to become lovers. I am not saying Ohm Nanon should have been casted, they could just have Sea and Jimmy in that universe and Ohm Nanon in the one that we actually follow.

As I've read the novel, when I watched the series I am quite overwhelmed how they've managed to tackle the 5 chapters in just one episode but despite that they've elaborate the plot well for episode 1. Still don't get it why others find it hard to understand the plot when they've already told everything in the mock trailer and episode 1. So far, I liked the happenings in the series. I love how they added and changed some scenes from the novel that I think turns out better. It also quite exciting for me because even though I've read the novel, I am still confused what is go to happened next. I also loved how they applied the colors/palette to the series (A LITTLE SPOILER 👀, it has a part to the plot so pay attention to the palettes). Overall, the series is so good and I am looking forward what will happen in the following episodes.

At first I was quite sceptical about the plot (not a fan of fantasy or sci-fi), but afterwards I was so in love with its deep philosophical meaning and cinematography ofc. This series is definitely worth watching. It's beautiful, picturesque, colourful, creative, there are lots of new (places, faces, unusual things), so many little things to think about, to talk about, it's so detailed... The series is quite deep and requires thinking, reflection and speculation, but it's still very light and pleasant to watch. I love it.

Jimmy and Sea as a couple are simply natural. Many know them from Last Twilight, but this project was no less quality. I mean, they are dramatically skilled, can cry beautifully and realistically, have deep empathy and can feel their characters so deeply... And they have chemistry of a real couple. As for dramatic scenes, it's not that common when bl actors are that good, you know. I mean, we are talking about bl series, not classic drama school movies... I was a cinemaholic once so it's rare for me to witness such a good empathetic acting from bl actors. Not to mention, it's hardly visible to masses and often stays underestimated. Look at JimmySea in their new project, My Magic Prophecy...

(Little spoiler alert?) I liked the idea (that I got from watching it). I've always believed that the theory of the multiverse is logical and relatable. But here they talk about how it's not about the world we live in, it's more about people who live it, you know... Like even though they got to live another life in another world, they stayed the same and did lots of good things with the messed up lives of those people, but it didn't happen with the other two cause they are simply not them. It's always in our own hands, not God's, not universe's...
