Vice Versa

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.

If there was an award for plagiarizing dialogues and scenes in Thailand it could be awarded to this series. The sheer number of people that appear on screen to just show their support towards the newly launched CP is distracting. Attempting a plot based on a book, that talks of two people falling in love in the alternate universe but carry back their feelings, is commendable yet the execution is terrible. The Art, Properties, Styling and Make up, Editing and Mixing team did well but their efforts went in vain due to bad scriptwriting. The camera person should understand that Jimmy, Pepper, Boom, Neo and Aou (character artists) are amateur, lacking the technique to act with their expression thus panning a frame over to their façade for a whole while doesn't emote anything. The viewers may misunderstand that the recording is stuck up. N' Sea, keng maak... (finger hearts)

Lastly I would want to rant about the exploitation of established fame of Nanon and Ohm in this series. In an interview, P'X, mentioned great significance of the characters in the alternate universe. I hope he compensates them according to the amount of unfair utilization of their name to promote this drama. Their faces were everywhere, poster to the prologues of successive episodes. But where is their story? The director even used a personal picture of OhmNon photographed by P'Aoff on the sets of My Precious, directorial of P'Fon. I wonder if there was anything original.

Sea, you are a natural actor. Well done for your debut drama. I shall look forward for your works.

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.

Let me be honest, at first, I started watching this because of Jimmy. I fell for him in Bad buddy and thats the reason why I wanted to see this. In the end, it totally couth me. Jimmy and Sea have perfect chemistry and watchers have no other choice but fall for it. The story was amaizing, even if I was litte bit confused in the first episode. I thought OhmNanon are in the original universe and JimmySea in the different one, but when it was clear to me, I was impatiently waiting for new ep. I would love to see some spin off about Tess and Pakorn living in our world and how did they deal with the multiversal situation, because from the first or second episode we know that there Had been some issue between them before they "died".

Bonus: Beautiful soundtrack. It´s really worth to listen!
