Vice Versa (2022)

Everything

Vice versa is one of the most beautiful love stories I watched in 2022. Jimmysea I love you so much.
Story: Original and magnificent (Parallel world, body change). The story took on all aspects of life: loneliness, friendships, love, responsibility, the view of society.
Music: I really liked all the music: Have a found, The key, By my side, the credits (incredible).
Acting: All the characters were played well. The chemistry between Jimmy and Sea is very natural. That's why I went crazy for them.
I'm late in my review of Vice versa (Top series of 2022, in my opinion). But I got the information that there is Vice versa rerun at the moment so I took the opportunity to do my review.

In my top 10 fav BL Dramas!

Now everyone is free to have their own opinion but something about this drama just hit me hard! To the point i woke up saying "Ah dang ah dang ah dang......" Lol if you know you know but i have always been a fan of waking up in another world dramas, books, manga, and webtoon so when i heard we where getting a BL i was excited but also unsure if they would do it well so i kept my expectations low due to some BL letdown we have all had before. 2gether cough cough. Anyways It is a cute love story, i laughed, i cried, and i was moved. Was it a masterpiece with no imperfections? Of course not but i find myself watching it over and over as if seeing an old friend or looking at a childhood photo. Now i liked the start of it but honestly the middle felt a little slow but i loved it seeing them both struggle as one wants to go home to his loving family while the other has nothing waiting for him leave a world where he has a family and a lover but in the end the one who didn't want to go home ends up being the first to leave but i love how he never stopped waiting for him. My all time favorite scene is when they are in the coffee shop and and he says "Dang" and they hug both letting out all the longing and sadness and happiness. Or when Puen relises it is Talay because of the alpaca hat. Or when Puen sings. Not to mention the special was way to cute!!!!!! I normally hate it when the couple is in a bad spot when you come back to them but the colander was so cute and the surprise kiss or hug was so squeal worthy for sure!! So the show starts out with Talay a colonist(dose the coloring for movies) is dragged along with his best friend to see her fav actor at the airport. She goes off to see him while Talay heads to the bathroom where he meets said actor Puen and gives him a gift, a cute hat with an alpaca and he explains why he chose it for him and they have a very cute moment. Back to reality Talay gets an interview for his dream job and gets it but when he goes night swimming drunk he wakes up to discover himself in another world as a boy named Tess. Heartbroken and confused he finds he is not the only one, in fact there is a whole underground filled with people from his OG world and now he must find his other half to find their way back to his world. Thinking he found someone in Tess life that fits this he starts fallowing Tun around to try and make up but one day he comes back and is like a different person and even sings a song from their OG universe. In a cool scene we see Tun is actually Puen Tess confirms and the pair team up to find a way back to their world. I wont go into to much because you should just watch it because it is worth it if you are looking for a sweet and wholesome romance with charters who leave you feeling like you made life long friends and picking up there weird lingo or the BL Trivia!!!! Kills me every time as i say the quotes along with them!!!

it's got more to it

When I first saw the teaser trailer for "Vice Versa" at the GMMTV Expo, I couldn't help but think, "Another soul transfer plot? How overused." But after the brilliant "Bad Buddy," I was eager to see Ohm and Nanon again. When the official trailer dropped, I was convinced to give it a shot, and I also wanted to see how Jimmy and Sea would fare. I’m happy to say I did not regret it. The chemistry between Jimmy and Sea is palpable, and their acting skills are impressive.

Directed by X Nuttapong Mongkolsawas, "Vice Versa" stars Jimmy as Puen, who takes over the body of Pakorn/Tun, played by Nanon, and Sea as Talay, who takes over the body of Tess, played by Ohm. For most of the series, we follow them as they navigate the lives of Tun and Tess and their journey to return to their original bodies.

Talay is a talented new graduate who has just landed a job as a colorist. However, during a beach trip with his friends, he drowns and wakes up in an alternate universe, inhabiting the body of Tess, a spoiled rich kid. In the hospital, he meets a nurse from his own universe who explains the existence of two parallel universes and the need to find the "Portkey" to return home. Talay soon discovers that Tun, played by Puen, is also a transmigrated soul. As they work together to find their port keys, their bond strengthens. But what will happen when they return to their original universe? Will they recognize each other?

One of the highlights of the series is how Puen and Talay decide to make positive changes in the lives of Tess and Tun. In their original lives, Puen is a famous actor and Talay is a struggling colorist. When they take over Tess and Tun's bodies, they continue to work in the film industry—Tess's dad owns the biggest film production house, and Tun is a skilled scriptwriter. This continuity adds depth to the story.

Each episode is themed around a different color and title, staying true to the cinematic and production motif, which I found quite engaging. The gradual unraveling of the plot and the exploration of Puen and Talay's lives and struggles were well-executed and compelling.

A fun aspect of the show was guessing the cameo of the week, with many famous faces making guest appearances. Each episode also featured an enjoyable post-credit scene showcasing new Lay's flavors, adding a touch of light-heartedness.

"Vice Versa" brings a fresh twist to the BL genre with its soul-switching and parallel universe plot. It’s far from boring; the story is beautifully crafted. If you think you’ve seen it all in soul transfer dramas, this series will surprise you with its unique approach and heartfelt narrative.

JIMMYXSEA DID NOT COME TO DISAPPOINT!!!

Honestly, I am out of words. The series are beautiful from the start until the end. I really like how Jimmy and Sea always have the best script and series. They lean more towards meaningful relationship kind of plot, its giving me award winning indie series. I love that they know their character very well and portraying characters are 10/10. I seriously have not much words because their acting is top notch. If I am allow to complain, I would have prolly would say its a shame that Tess and Tun doesn't have much part, like it were not shown enough like what they did as Peung and Thalay. I wish they could have more part but oh well! Other than this, its not a major improvement needed since everything is perfect!

Can I just say that I really love that they have name for each of the episode and its based from colour name???????? The plot is pure and really portrays love in such beautiful way. I like that Thalay have character development but I hate Tess's character like he didn't even try to help Thalay with his life, he almost ruined his life but thank freaking god for the switch! Even though 2 years has passed, I am still glad they manage to go back to their universe.

I don't want to write much spoiler and just that if you understand Multi universe then you will love this series so before you watch this series, I would have advise you to at least read about multi universe concept so you don't get lost.

Love this series absolutely! <3

EVERYTHING IS A 10/10 BUTTTTTTT

Whenever I watch series that is already completed, I always finish it in one-go. I started watching the first episode last night and finished the rest just a while ago.

I have to apologize if my overall rating is 8/10 although the suggested overall is 9/10. That's because I skipped too many parts all throughout the series. Recently, I like watching series with an episode of 15-40mins long each.

I have nothing to say about the intriguing and unique story, the flawless acting of casts, and the emotional music.

There are several factors that I would like to mention that failed to amuse me while watching this:

1. The scenes are way too long. There are too many dialogues. Some moments, either cute or sad, ended up dull.
2. The main actors are both great individually but their chemistry is off in episodes 2-9. I would blame this on the character development for Talay that the writer/s had made for them.
3. Is it just me only but does Thai dramas always have many sponsorships? Annoying like Filipino dramas. But Filipino and Thai acting is topnotch if you'll ask me.

--------------------

If you plan to watch this like 1-3 episodes per day, I recommend this sincerely.

Outcome didn't match the potential

GOOD at the beginning
OKAY/MEH in the middle
GREAT towards the end


Probably the most interesting feature of this series is the uniqueness of the plotline: two young men waking up in a different universe in different people’s bodies. Where have we heard of a BL like that? It’s my first time.

The series started off well, with Ohm (Tess) and Nanon (Pakorn) and their undeniably strong chemistry and acting skills, as well as Jimmy (Puen) and Sea (Talay). In all fairness to Jimmy and Sea their duo is screaming refreshing chemistry. The plot is unique and well thought of.

However, I lost the “waking-up-in-a-different-universe” and “I’m-a-different-person-in-this-body” vibe. When Puen and Talay woke up in Pakorn’s and Tess’s bodies, it seems that they just lived their lives like that. Everyone was noticing weird things such as not being familiar with stuff in the different universe or not remembering their loved ones, but no one was wondering. To me, it did not feel that authentic because who would not be wondering why they can’t remember their parents or the things they used to do? I lost the vibe of the plotline that made me want to watch the series in the first place.

Talay, for example, woke up as Tess. Talay is a timid, gentle person who is focused and driven, while Tess is carefree and troublesome, but no one wondered about those changes in Tess after Talay being in his body.

Also, it would have been more convincing if, at some point, we could see the original person’s appearance once in a while, like what we saw in Cupid’s Last Wish when the character appears to be the original person sometimes. That made the plotline real and strong for me. It would not be that bad, I guess, knowing that Ohm and Nanon have excellent chemistry.

I would have liked to see more of getting familiar with the different universe just so it would retain its vibe. Instead, after the first two episodes, the series became just like the other series that have happened - falling in love, having funny friends and having tiny and shallow conflicts. I did not feel that eager to watch the next episode quickly because in the middle, it felt like just the usual Thai BL.

But in all fairness, it became really, really good towards the end, like in episodes 8 to 10, when it began touching again on Puen and Talay’s quest in going back to their universe. It added meaning to the way the series ended. It was great when Puen came back first to their universe and began looking and waiting for Talay. And when the latter came back, it did not become relatively easy for them to be finally together, especially realizing what and who Puen is in their universe. I also did appreciate the way they used the symbols such as the pink color, the garden cafe, etc. which made everything meaningful until towards the end of this series.

Jimmy’s acting can still be honed. There were times when the emotions required of him is not quite there yet, but he was off to a great start. Sea, on the other hand, is a surprise to me. His acting is good. He can be both funny and dramatic. Amazing!

Overall, it’s an ‘okay’ watch. Besides the interesting plot, the rest can be easily forgettable. But if we’re talking about the feeling ‘during’ watching, it’s good for overall entertainment. I’m excited to see Jimmy and Sea in their upcoming series.

magical, domestic and one-of-a-kind show that feels like coming home

my all time favorite BL show. it certainly has its flaws such as the abundance of ads and some completely unnatural and somewhat annoying little interactions throughout the show, but all of this doesn’t ruin the show for me.

“Vice Versa” is an incredibly good mixture of magic, love and destiny, and i adore how well the concept of both universal traveling and soulmatism is done. i fell in love with the show’s premise and atmosphere ever since episode one and i binge watched it in two days just because i was so immersed in it. the amazingly portrayed characters and their heartwarming relationships, a huge ton of funny little moments and cute scenes and, most importantly, the insanely stunning cinematography. i loved the side characters and their ways of interacting with one another, and little cameos of several huge GMMTV stars were so pleasant to watch.

i rewatched this show many times, and each time felt like coming home. no matter how many new shows i encounter, i will always stick to “Vice Versa” :)

VICEVERSA

I honestly didn't think that this series was going to be so good,actually just after watching 5 episodes I dropped it,about 1 year ago.
Only today,after seeing JimmySea in Last Twilight,I watched and realised that this is a piece of ART.
It really made my standards for series so high,like the cast,the plot,the chemistry between the leads...were just...AMAZING.
Let's not also forget the hard work of the staff,because the coloring,the aesthetic,the makeup,the styling...were really PERFECT.
I will never shut up about this series being soooo good and I absolutely recommend this series to everyone,because it isn't only a series that has romance and friendship,but it also teaches you a lot of deep things without overpowering.
