Getting Better With Each New Episode...
Watched the trailer a few weeks back and it didn't really interest me because it was not an actual BL, but rather a fake one with the body-switching plot. After seeing the bad reviews for the first episode, it only confirmed that not watching this series was okay. However, seeing all the positive reviews after the second episode and the raves for Ohm, who is the best BL actor at the moment (in my opinion) and my favourite BL actor (due to the stunning He's Coming To Me), I decided to give it a try.
Not bad at all. It's pretty ridiculous, but actually pretty interesting too so far. You wonder how the story will play out. It reminds me a bit of Your Name with its gender/body swapping storyline. I do find the character of Pan really annoying though, but maybe she'll grow on me. And I wonder what purpose the body-swapping will serve in the end? Will it allow Pan to really get to know Way and fall in love with him? Will it give her the opportunity to discover feelings for Khet? Does Khet know that Kim is actually Pan? I think he does and will use it as an opportunity to get close to her. Will the body-swapping end sometime? Will the God of Death know how to switch back the bodies? Does she actually know but pretend to not know to give Pan the opportunity to find love for herself? The God of Death does know everything about Kim (his classmates, etc), so shouldn't she know how to switch back bodies?
On a side note, I really like the cinematography. Very bright and colourful! And the high production value! Why can't a BL get this level of production value? Hopefully, with the huge success of 2gether and the explosion of the BL genre, GMMTV and other studios will put more money into BL productions.
On a different side note, Ohm is so attractive! He really ages like fine wine! Ugh! I hope that he will have more screen time in future episodes. Apparently, he was paired with Prigkhing before (in Blacklist) too. Hopefully, that pairing won't be permanent and he will get a BL pair in the future! He deserves all the fame and success of other established GMMTV BL couples!
Disappointed with Episode 3 after the fantastic episode 2. Felt like the episode dragged as nothing really happened until the end where Way's image was redeemed in Pan's eyes and a girlfriend for Kim was introduced. Ohm needs more screen time to be honest also.
Episode 4 was good. Not as good as Episode 2, but better than Episode 3 for sure. It was nice being the brotherly relationships between Kim and Khet develop, though Khet should know that Kim is actually Pan from all the clues and eavesdropping on the bathroom conversation. It's like he forgot about that. Anyways, I enjoyed the Ohm content in this week's episode. Hopefully, he will continue to have more screen time. On a side note, this series doesn't seem like a BL so far, which I am fine with as long as the story is good. However, the series was marketed as a BL though, so that's kinda low for GMMTV.
Episode 5 was meh. This series is losing steam fast as nothing in the episode amounted to anything, other than the end where it is revealed that Way has always liked Kim. On a side note, I'm not sure why the teacher has copies of all these exams and even copies of national exams. She should only have copies of her own exams for the classes that she teaches, unless she is like the vice-principal or principal, which she isn't. Anyways, it is nice to see that The Shipper is actually a BL (not just marketed as a BL). I am interested in seeing where the story goes from here though I am a bit bored of the body-switching plot. Can they just switch back and Way confess his feelings for Kim?
Episode 6 was quite good! The suspense has been amped up as Khet realizes that he has feelings for P'Kim and P'Kim confesses that he is actually Pan. I am actually quite excited for the next episode and to see where this new revelation takes the characters and their stories!
Episode 7 was also quite good as the story progresses and the possibilities of different ships sails. Loved the ending where Pan goes back to her real body and can't wait to see where the story takes us!
Episode 8 was meh. Even though Pan returned to her body, the story barely made any progress and the series opted for storylines that don't make sense like Off trying to injure Way with a knife or Phingphing asking Off to injure Kim.
Episode 9 was also quite uneventful, other than the ending where Way confesses his feelings for Kim. Finally, some actual BL content! Hopefully, Pan can stop being annoying and selfish & get the eff out of Kim's body so that we can have an actual BL relationship in the series. Like she had the audacity to tell Khet to step aside so that she can pursue a relationship with Way when she is literally in Kim's body. Ugh. On a side note, about the preview for the next episode, why would telling Way that Kim cheats do anything? Way gets in trouble a lot and he was in a gang. Why would be give a f*ck if Kim cheats?
Episode 10 was okay, but can Pan get the f*ck out of Kim's body? Yesh! I'm so annoyed with her trying to manipulate Kim and Way's relationship, something that she shouldn't even be doing in the first place. Like who does she think she is thinking that Way is too good for Kim and that Kim doesn't deserve Way. Ugh. Who gives a sh*t if Kim cheats? A LOT of people cheat. I'm sure that even people in medical school cheat. And the exams are all memorization anyways. They're a game. Not a true measure of intelligence or potential. I truly hope that in the next episode, that Pan and Kim will go back to their bodies. I'm so tired of Pan being in Kim's body. I just want Kim and Way to be together.
Episode 11! WTF! What a shocking, depressing twist. I was not expecting Kim's soul to die at all, especially since this series is so shiny, happy and colorful! What a slap in the face! I care really care less about Pan. Why couldn't Pan trade her life for Kim? The body-switching is already quite far-fetched. I doubt that sacrificing one life for another is impossible in this world. And there's only one episode left! :'( Doesn't seem like there'll be a happy ending for Way and Kim...
Episode 12 (the final episode) was kinda meh. It was nice to see Kim and Way have an actual farewell, but still annoyed that Kim died. I did not like how we were queer-baited when this series was clearly not a BL at all. Very miffed about that. The series did end with a cliffhanger though when a voice called out to Kim, who was in heaven, that there was a proposal for him (to possibly inhabit another body maybe or to reincarnate). Will there be a sequel? I do truly hope for one so that Kim and Way can actually end up together.
