One of the best series in the Body Swap genre

Vice Versa is a remarkable BL series that explores the concepts of identity and self-acceptance behind the veneer of body swap. The story is compelling and the characters have this uniqueness that you don’t see in a lot of other BL series.

On the surface the plot of Vice Versa is rather simple. 2 guys Talay and Puen swap bodies with Tess and Tun who reside in a different universe. The story is about the journey of these 2 protagonists to find their way back to their original world and discover the feelings they have for each other. But this story would not have been engaging if it were that simple. The series goes at lengths to explain the issues that such a body swap could have. We have the characters discussing about the responsibilities they have to ensure that they do not ruin the lives of the people whose bodies they possess. They actively work towards meeting the goals that Tess and Tun had put ahead for themselves all the while trying to navigate through the difficult situation of living a different life and finding their way back home. A relationship between the leads that starts as lost souls in a different universe, to acquaintances with the common goal to get to their own world, to friends working towards realizing their dream, to finally lovers dedicated to their relationship in both the worlds.

One of the strengths of the series is the lengthy explanation about people jumping through universes and what it takes to go back and the complications they can face while living in this unknown yet similar universe. Like Talay and Puen there are many others that have stuck in this universe and like them are struggling to find their true selves.

The chemistry between the 2 leads is palpable and their on-screen persona draws the viewers in to the story. The emotional nuances and subtleties conveyed by the actors further amplify the authenticity of the characters’ experiences. The intimate conversations between the leads and swoon worthy.

Although the story is captivating and the actors have been phenomenal there are times that the pace slows down significantly and you are waiting for it to be picked up again. There are certain aspects of the body swaps that are purposely kept vague so it can be molded in to anything at the later stage which made me feel that the concept was completely thought out.

In conclusion, this series certainly stands out due to its captivating story-line and wonderful performances. There are surprising number of guest appearances from actors and dialogues from other famous and successful BL series.
