Our Skyy 2: Vice Versa (2023)

Maybe this should've been left in a different universe...

I want to start this by saying that I was never the biggest fan of Vice Versa in the first place. I didn't enjoy the acting that much and the chemistry between the two main leads left a lot to be desired. It's also a pretty forgettable show in my opinion, so I was going into these two episodes not remembering much of Vice Versa, thus not really having any expectations. And still, I got disappointed?

The start of it all was pretty cute. I liked the conflict about Talay and Puen living together, but still not having enough time for each other due to work. I felt like it was a good set-up for two cute and light-hearted episodes. And it started that way. Talay coming up with a different theme for each day of the month, in an attempt to bring them closer again and re-ignite their spark was pretty adorable.

Even the child suddenly standing in front of their door, calling them "dad" didn't bother me. The child actor is very adorable, and especially Jimmy suddenly started being more expressive in his acting, whenever the kid was around. It was pretty cute. Despite not really caring for these characters, they had me in awe in some moments and I was intrigued as to what had happened, causing this child to suddenly appear.

Talay's fear - that the child might be Tess' and thusly his own, considering how Tess was inhabiting his body for a while - was very interesting to me. I think that would've actually made for a very interesting plot for a season 2 of Vice Versa (not that I want one, but there's an idea at least). Exploring what it would mean to suddenly have a child, that shares your DNA because someone inhabiting your body did his part in creating it, but you not having known about it, and now having to come to terms with this... That would make for a very interesting story to dive into. Obviously, that couldn't have been done in 2 episodes, which is why I suggested a second season. Then again, I don't really trust them enough to explore such a plot in a coherent and meaningful way, so maybe we're better off this way. Anyway! I was not opposed to this surprise child plot line. At least until we found out the reason...

Puen being the one behind this, basically using this child as a way to bring him and Talay closer again, is just plain stupid. I think he might have left his braincells in that other universe, that's the level of stupid we're talking. But that wasn't my main issue. I can believe that Puen did something incredibly dumb, in a desperate attempt to save his relationship. What I can't believe however, is how calmly Talay responded to this. Imagine you finding out that your significant other basically blackmailed your friend's nephew with stuffed animals into pretending to be your long lost son. How would you respond? Yell at them? Kick them out of the house? Break up? All very valid responses in my opinion. But not Talay, nope. He's basically as calm as ever and they then treat it as 'lol, this is a funny thing that happened'. All I could do was yell "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU???" at my screen. They had me get very upset at a special episode of a show I never really cared about, yet somehow now I was screaming at my computer, wanting to shake both Talay and Puen, as well as their friends who helped Puen.

So those are my main thoughts. If you like cute child actors and if you want to see Jimmy be as excited as he has never been before in this role, then go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, I'd say skip this one. I still think the acting isn't the greatest, and the chemistry between the leads is still lacking. Their kiss scene at the end felt as mechanical as their kiss scenes in Vice Versa did. So you're really not missing out on much.

SOLID

this is the most solid plot of all our skyy.
it's the same treatment as the original series
and gave me the same feels
I love that the two episode also have a title relating to colors just live the series
and I am glad that I get to see Puen and Talay's life as domestic partners.

the acting from Sea and Jimmy is topnotch and it's so heartwarming to see them revisit their roles.
even the music is catchy and easy to the ears.

Puen and Talay finding their passion in the parallel world have made a living out their core talents in their universe 5 years after the even of the series. They both work from home are notoriously busy that they have unintentionally neglected each other. The rude awakening came when Talay missed Puen's birthday despite the fact that they both work from home; and so they decided to make up for by creating a calendar to schedule how they affection for each other everyday.

Another plot line that I really like was the appearance of Jigsaw, who claimed to be their kid.

Utter Rubbish

This was bad from the start. Either neither of them can act at all, or the directing is insanely bad. I suspect they were both just depressed having to work on such a bad show, as both actors had no charisma, no chemistry and zero energy.

Puen was a smart disciplined actor and now he's writing scripts and looks like a 15 year old slob in his mums basement, and Talay has been relegated to a tent office in the 100 degree heat of the garden ??
They wonder why their relationship is falling apart. Was this script written by a 13 year old boy who thought tents in the garden and slobbing out in front of a pc was "super cool"?

They try to have some "together" time, which made their relationship look even more broken. Then they are sitting together to watch a romantic movie and start to share a deep meaningful kiss and Puen stops the kiss to throw a bag of crisps over Talays head (!?!?) *palm/face*

At that point I just gave up watching this advertisement driven trash. I feel really sorry for the actors having to work on this show, and hope they get better acting roles on a serious show next time.

Accidental Child Acquisition - The Show

This was an absolute delight of a special and serves as a perfect little epilogue for the main show. It's basically just a short glimpse into the domestic lives of Puen and Talay with an overarching theme of "Pursuing goals and self-fulfillment is a priority, but so is actively making time to spend with your partner and creating little moments of joy and togetherness because loving someone is important and meaningful". As someone who loves nothing more than soft, meandering explorations of ordinary people just loving each other, this was basically perfect for me and I honestly couldn't be more happy with it.
If you enjoyed the main show you'll definitely like this as well, so give it a shot.
