Just plain old boring

This is the first Thai BL that I've dropped (that's huge! considering I survived Fish Upon the sky!). The issue with this series is it's 'lost potential'. It's not necessarily bad (I would just hate-watch it in that case). It was just boring!!!

There's a concept of universe travelling, where a person's soul can travel to different universe and into another person's body. Right?! Such a great plot...except... the makers flushed it right down the drain.
There's bits and pieces of it just to remind us that 'oh these people have landed in different universe' but that's about it. No indication of any confusion within these travellers' minds, them missing their family, friends, nothing.

There are 2-3 time leaps - some in months, some years - I'm guessing time leaps were added to give this drama a lyrical feel. But these leaps just felt lazy!! Like makers didn't want to show what happened with Tun - time leap. How these people went from college friends to releasing a movie - time leap!

No complains on the acting - Jimmy & Sea did a great job - their chemistry was good. But you can only do so much with chemistry if the story is lacklustre. My biggest ick was there's absolutely no build up to Talay & Puen's relationship. They just meet and that's it - they are goofing around, pecking cheeks, having slow-mo movements (that snow in Thailand scene was cringe). Like it was obvious that they were being put in the spotlight deliberately. Like they were the MC's not only in the drama but even in their own universe. The scenes with Tun having shaving cream on face to depict ages gone by, I understand that the makers were trying to make it very poetic. It just felt unnecessary! It really was not that dramatic! Why did Tun even decide to not contact Talay?

Half the time I felt Puen is hiding something, that's why he's somewhat clingy and smiling and cheerful and so sure of himself. But it's been 6 EPISODES!!! I don't think I can bear to watch fillers after fillers even if someone assures me there's a big reveal at the end.

One redeeming quality of this show was the vibes + defined color tones for each episode but how much can you really indulge with just vibes when product placement are there to assassinate EVERY FREAKIN' SCENE!!! (I wouldn't bother about ranting on the product placements because many have added those points in review, but MY GOD THERE'S A LIMIT! That was also one BIG reason for me to drop the show).
