Vice Versa (2022)

There are a lot of mixed reactions of people to this drama. But if given a chance it is not that bad. I like that the concept is not typically and wholly based on college themes. And the universe travelling and the association of for them it's a really new and refreshing idea. like the way, they put on some famous BL series dialogue and the guest appearances of characters. love the whole multiversal and port keys thing.
The way they show only the one who has transferred to the universe by exchanging looks makes it easy to understand. the chemistry between Jimmy and Sea makes viewers fall in love with them and little cute banter brings butterflies. it will be even better if we got a chance to see the spinoff about tess and pakorn in another universe.
As last two episodes, I feel like they finished them hurriedly or it does not give a satisfying result as it feels somehow incomplete, it feels like they could do more.
I do agree some of the scenes do seems illogical ...but it's a series not everything must make sense. even the whole multiversal and port keys thing does not make any sense but that's why we watch series for. for something that doesn't make any sense but makes you laugh and wonder what happened if it was really true. if anyone wants to watch a series, drama soap opera that makes sense then they should watch the documentary.
Not gonna lie I watch it cause of Bad Buddy but I don't regret watching it and love it.

Uma história cheia de amor e cores

Eu comecei a assistir esse BL sem muita expectativa, pois não tinha visto falarem tanto dele. Mas já adianto dizendo que Vice Versa foi uma bela surpresa, que entregou bem mais do que eu esperava.

Gostei bastante do plot, achei bem diferente e interessante. Entendi esse BL como tendo um plot de fantasia como plano de fundo, sendo a história principal o romance. Acho que isso desagradou algumas pessoas pois esperavam um maior desenvolvimento na questão dos universos, mas eu não me importei. Para mim, no fim a série conseguiu entregar o que prometeu.

O casal é lindo demais. Com certeza um dos meus casais favoritos. O relacionamento deles é saudável, fofo, a história dos dois é linda, e vê-los se apaixonando me causou uns 728182 surtos diferentes hahah. Eu gostei bastante da atuação dos protagonistas.

Além disso, achei maravilhosa a cinematografia desse BL. O que me surpreendeu na verdade, porque não tava esperando nada em relação a isso. As cenas, os cenários, as cores, tudo é tão bonito.

Por falar em cores, outro detalhe lindíssimo são os nomes dos episódios. Uma ideia genial nomear os episódios por cores, fazendo toda uma alusão à profissão do protagonista e também às emoções.

Apesar de ter gostado muito, claro que não achei o BL perfeito. Aqui não tiveram tantas coisas que me incomodaram, na verdade acho que uma principal que me incomodava mais no decorrer dos episódios:

A conveniência de roteiro. Isso aqui é algo que estou percebendo que é bem comum nos bl's tailandeses (não que não seja em outras produções). Principalmente quando se tratava das questões da criação dos filmes, acontecia cada coisa magicamente que me dava até nervoso kkkkk. Não que isso afete demais a história, mas eu acho um pouco irritante porque às vezes fica parecendo uma história boba demais.

Por fim, eu realmente adorei assistir esse BL, maratonei em menos de uma semana. Se tornou uma das melhores séries/dramas que assisti esse ano. Foi fofo, divertido e emocionante. Uma história linda mesmo, que deixa o seu coração quentinho e faz você querer se apaixonar, amar e ser amado. Lindo demais!!

Recommended to watch

Every bl series that I finish is a recommendation for many people to watch because I'm a kind of person that doesn't really like any series easily because many are not very good. I would say this series not my favorite but its recommend for who never watch it. I like the chemistry between these two main leads, this series are their first stepped to a main role lead. Next is on the acting/cast, which as I had said that they were new to acting main roles but they did a great job to really make us feel their emotion. Next is music, I like all the musics in this series, they really go into the tone and I like that both of the main cast sing it. Next is the story, overall it kind of good but not really what I really like, me personally I don't like series that people are just too in love and would kissed this many times, I just felt like its too sweet and it's too much. But others are great, it has an interesting plot. Overall is good to watch, recommended to someone to never watch it to try it.

We love a healthy couple.

I have a lot to say, OMG.

Vice Versa has a very complicated plot, because of the storyline and many things happening, at first it's really hard to understand things, but that's not a real problem since even the characters were lost, so I am...

Fantasy it's not really easy to write, with a multiverse, it's more complicated. But I really like the way that this was organized because JittiRain and the screenwriters did a very good job. When I saw that it's the same screenwriting team from Bad Buddy, A Tale of Thousand Stars, and MSP... Makes sense! Their job is amazing. The fantasy part it's was well constructed. But what amazed me was the relationship construction.

About PuenTalay, because doesn't have stronger time indicators, you don't see the time passing in the series, until the characters mention it. And when you realize the time: They are a very slow-burn couple. But it's amazing because their relationship is very well developed. It's beautiful.

Their action was good! I think Sea (Talay) impressed me more than Jimmy (Puen), but they both did a good job! Their chemistry it's insane too, damn. And their kisses: they served.

The details were excellent too, the episodes with the color's names and everything on the episode based on the color were amazing and very smart. Cute, too.

Everything is good, and I will not go on a lower note bcs the series it's well done. But, it didn't amaze me SO MUCH. I really liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. Idk exactly why. My only little problem was with the open little details in the end, it's on purpose, but I personally don't like open things. But it's not a big deal.

disappointed

I had been hesitating for a while as to weather I should or should not start this series... and I guess I was correct to hesitate
because this show was just so... boring.

First of all...I was hoping that we would get more interesting differences from the universes, they had such great opportunities to make it more interesting but it just fell flat... the differences of the universes were just so little and so... meaningless?? Like the counting, the birthday cake being cotton candy and beer being more expensive than wine. They also missed such a great opportunity to make Up's name in the other universe Down... cmon that would have been much better than Tup(at least in my opinion).

I had also hoped that we would get to see Ohm and Nanon a lot more that we actually did...
And that there would be a bigger focus on Tun and Tess... like... what were they doing for two whole years?! How would Tun who had never acted before be as good as Puen?! Just so disappointing to see. And how come Tun's and Tess friends and family who had known them their whole lives wouldn't question them acting COMPLETELY different than before??

I found myself so bored when watching the series and the endless ads did not help. Like 70% of the show is just ads.

This series is just a huge wasted potential and a very forgettable one at that. I feel like this show is more targeted towards straight cis women with their 'man' and 'woman' stereotypes.

Holy Product Placements Batman!

With a show that was literally all about product placements, it felt like the directors falsely advertised the series with the trailers. It took everything I had for me to finish this series in it's entirety.

The plot in theory sounds great, as it's one of the few fantasy BLs that takes the two main characters , Talay and Puen and transports them to a parallel universe and into the bodies of Tess and Tun and....vice versa. The series then follows Talay and Puen through the trials and the tribulations that they experience in their new lives in this new universe and they team up and try to figure out how to get back to their own world. Sounds pretty interesting, right? WRONG! The series completely loses sight of this concept and plot, and instead what we get is this long, jumbled mess of a series filled with BLATANT product placements....and I mean blatant. They don't event try to be subtle about it. I am okay with product placements if it helps drive the story, but there was literally no point in dedicating 85% of the series to product placements.

The production quality of the show was great and there really were some stunning visuals, which leads me to believe it was a result of the money the director received from all of the product placements.🤣

I really wanted to like this series because I throughly enjoyed Bad Buddy, and the chemistry between Nanon and Ohm. When I found out they were going to be in this series and that I was going to get a chance to see that chemistry again, I definitely signed on to watch this....I was quickly disappointed to find out that they are literally on the show for like 5 seconds, and Jimmy and Sea's chemistry doesn't even compare and felt down right awkward at times. I am honestly not sure if it was the lack of chemistry or the writing that made it so hard to believe that these two individuals were in love. I believed that they cared deeply for each other and that they may even have had a bromance but I wasn't even slightly convinced they were more than friends until episode 11.

Honestly, the show started out pretty entertaining and funny, but quickly went downhill from there and completely derived from the plot.They should consider remaking this like the did with Love Mechanics because it has so much potential. The show does however, make for a good drinking game. 😆😂 Every time there's a product placement, take a shot!

Surprisingly warm and beautiful pink

Did You cried big tears with Ae in "Love by chance 2"? Did You suffer from seeing the Mains in "Lovely writer" beeing apart ? Was it hurtful to watch "Miracle of the teddy bear"?

Vice Versa is the medicine.
It's heartwarming and soothing.

I started to watch this with the expectation of an interesting SciFi plot. But this is just the frame for the really beautiful love story. One doesn't have faith in love, the other one tries to win his heart over. It's a sweet (sometimes literally), comfy and vanilla series. Easy to watch for beginners.

The series tells the story of two guys, which changed the universe because of their deaths. And their 2 years of longing and searching for a way back home. But it was never a painful waiting. They live the life of the guys in which bodies they transferred to the fullest to not disappoint the owners or ruin their careers.

I personally had to mention, Sea isn't my type of men, but his calm and wise aura and his beautiful smile, melted my heart. And Neo, the funniest character in so much series, plays another wonderful warmly and clearly funny character.

I also liked the cameos of other GMMTV Boys. That was always a little joy of reunion.

So, just give it a try =O)

Наоборот. Я бы рискнула и сделала как гг-и.Когда я читала новеллу и когда я смотрела лакорн, я была очень удивлена тем, как им удалось справиться с 5 главами только в одном эпизоде, но, несмотря на это, они хорошо разработали сюжет для эпизода 1. Мне нравится, как они добавили и изменили некоторые сцены из новеллы, которые, я думаю, получились даже лучше. Мне т понравилось, как они применили цвета / палитру к серии, это все имеет неотъемлемую часть сюжета, поэтому обратите внимание на палитру.. В целом, лакорн настолько хорош и я с нетерпением ждала, что произойдет в следующих эпизодах. Я люблю химию гг-ев. Их постоянное поддразнивание друг друга, их красивые диалоги о любви, их взаимодействие, их игривые взгляды... Это так романтично. Я чувствую, что они действительно рядом друг с другом.Помимо романтики, которая, безусловно, была моей любимой частью, мне понравилось, что мы также получили представление о том, как работает киноиндустрия.Об актерах можно говорить много и долго, но сократим и на этом, так как игра всех (абсолютно всех и гостевые роли тоже) была безупречной. Сюжет. Он меня взволновал и я бы попробовала точно, прожить чужую жизнь достойно, чтобы человеку было куда вернуться и быть счастливым.

You can find love in another universe!

Finished watching this drama and enjoyed it alot. Sometime some things are not meant for everyone, there will be people who enjoyed the concept and accept it, while some want to be non existence writers that only watch dramas to write about it in a negative way because the story did not go their way. You can't re-write what is already set in stone. It's intentional what the writer wanted to give the bl fans. I love this concept and the great story telling. This drama was a good production value, and the acting was on point. Happy for Jimmy & Sea, their characters found love in another universe! that is why it is Vice Versa.

12 Vanilla episodes of adverts *pass the snacks*

I am so sad to say this was ruined by poor casting or directing (?) And don't get me started on the incessant advertisements, that, in my opinion, ruined what could have been romantic scenes. I mean, he proposed with a crisp snack!!! Seriously, WTF is that about ?!? But then again that just about sums up how UN-romantic and advert driven this whole show was.

There really wasn't any chemistry between the leads at all. More like a bromance than BL, and even "bromance" is stretching it. They both just seemed really uncomfortable with each other and the whole thing.

As for the settings and cinematography, they were amazing, and I loved the way the Colourist set the tone for each scene, to emphasise Talays job . That was very educational and I will look out for this in my future viewing.
....BB ;~)

This is a new favourite!!

I honestly didn't expect to like this drama so much. I had not seen many spoilers and my TikTok was not really buzzing when it aired, so I was expecting something average. Boy was I wrong. I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF IT.

The mildly scifi theme, multiverse, is just the basis for the epic love story of Puen, a rising actor and Talay, a movie colorist. They make a switch upon there untimely death, and find themselves in the body of another person in a similar but different universe. While navigating their way in the life of the person who's body they now occupy, they meet and discover they're in the same boat. Deciding to be friends and trying to find a way back to their own universe they gradually fall for each other.

The way the falling in love and the shift from friends to lovers is brought forward is award-worthy. The first actual kiss doesn't happen until ep. 8, but the anticipation and build up to the kiss and later the confession(s) is on butterfly level 3000! This is all done is such a non-explicit way, it is just beautiful. There is NO verbal sexual innuendo, but the tension is there and then some. The non-verbal is extremely well executed.

Once the first kiss, and especially the confession and discovery that they actually are each-others way home has happened, more and more kisses follow. But not the let's stare at each other and act like fishes kind of kisses. Real, deep and lovers' kisses these are.

When they finally return home, new troubles ensue due to their live having been taken over by someone else. They need to fix what was messed up and find each other again in more than one way.

What I loved: almost everything. The acting, the story development, the original theme, the fantastic side characters, the cameo's (Tay! Mix!), the music, the scenery, even the product placement was weaved into the actual story, so it wasn't too distracting or annoying.
What i disliked: Some scenes seemed to be cut off at an illogical point. But that's just me nitpicking :P.

I would love to see the story of Tess and Pakorn (Tun) on the other side/in the other universe. We got a glimpse of the meek Pakorn and the asshole Tess, but there's more to this story. Maybe we will get to see Ohm and Nanon in a spin off drama. For now, this one shoots to the top 5 of my 2022 winners. I you have not watched it: do it NOW!
