Funny but has a crappy ending

NOT A BL. THIS SERIES HAS POTENTIAL BL COUPLE BUT IT IS NOT A BL SERIES. It has few cute scenes but he drama focuses Pan than Kim. Story is not something new. It is like any other soul swapping drama. I liked how this drama portrayed friendship between Pan and Soda. I became fan of Ohm right after watching Make it right. He never fails to amaze me with his acting. He did a great job in this series as well. If you were not looking for anything series and don't mind watching dramas with sad endings, go for it. Personally, I was really disappointed with the ending. Sad endings ruins my day. This is definitely not my cup of tea.

The ending was kind of dissapointing tho...

It started off as an interesting story but it ended not in so good way.
They could do the ending diffentrly in so many ways but it is what it is.
The only thing i really liked about this series in the acting. That is smth so good in this series that is actually worth watching it.
I mean the story wasnt that bad i was just excepting more of plot ig.
It was interesting how Pan got in Kim's body but Kim never actually got in Pan's body so can you actually call this bodies swap? I hoped to get to see more of real Kim's character actions but we only got to see it in like 1st ep.
Almost always we face the problem of annoying, childish, cringe female characters.
Than we have some fights scenes like they were beating the shit out of each other's faces (Way and Off) but there werent any brusies or blood (sometimes. When Way was attacked by Off with knife. And way pushed Off on ground and started slaping/punching his face).
And the ending seemd rushed. The way we got to see the funeral (and what was Way's ex doing there? Why was there so little ppl). The way they all moved on so quickly. Nah the ending could be so much better even if it would stay sad as now.

The great thing about this series is that I started watching it for the BL, but it seem to hv continued watching it for what it truly is.
Its a beautiful and heartfelt story full of laughter and tears.

This series has quickly become a favourite of mine and for good reason. I addicted to its music track & casting.
The OST honestly slaps. It’s sweet and light hearted. And also the acting is perfect. Each character is beautifully portrayed and written. Every single member of the cast is perfect as their character and even out of them.

Despite having low viewing and not much exposure. I hope everyone gives this show a try. The cast and crew deserve that and more.

1.Senti q perdi minutos de mi vida 2.Esperaba más de los ships 3.Way es muy lindo 4.Los hermanos

PARA EMPEZAR: La comedia y la trama estubo buena pero no me atrapo, tuve que adelantar algunas partes porque me aburrian (exceptos donde aparecia el angel de la muerte jakaaja) y habian veces en las que me preguntaba si el punto de la historia era el cambio de cuerpos o shipearse entre si. Me decepciono que todos terminaran solteros a excepcion de los protagonistas, pero me gusto que nos dieran un beso de First y Ohm (un poco raro si) ekekeke, estubo entretenida la serie aunque senti que perdi horas de mi vida esperando mas de la serie :b

1. La serie no es mala pero si la comparamos con otras talves esta historia se queda corta, pudieron haber echo más con el tema del cambio de cuerpo y solo nos dieron enseñanzas tipicas de: Las acciones traen consecuencias y no juzgues una espada por su funda, muy extraño pero con buena comedia.
2. MI WAYKIM/KIMWAY NOOOOOOO TT Siento q llegue a la serie muy tarde y ya no hay esperanza de ver a estos actores protagonizar otra serie (aunq amo el Firstkhao aaasksjs).
3. Ame los personajes y la protagonista me frustraba aveces por asumir todo tan rapido (por ejemplo los de Kim) apesar de todo la entiendo ya que debe ser confuso estar en el cuerpo de alguien a quien admiras y q este metido en cosas turbiasss (supuestamenteee).
4. Me senti rara (creo q mala o culpable idk aa) sabia que era malo shipear a Kim(Pan) con el hermano porque SON HERMANOS uuhh pero Ohm tiene quimica hasta con una piedra asi que solo intente ignorar la tensión entre ellos y solo ver el rostro hermoso de First/Ohm (el beso fue AUN mas raro como un poco,,sucio? pero estuvo bueno aaaaa me gusto ok voy a tocar pasto no puedo con tanto.
...
La vería otras vez? No
La recomiendo? Para los q les gusta ver besukeo No
Ahora m voy a ver Laws of attraction bye bye

I’m glad I didn’t love the ending

This series is not horrible, but at least half of the show is not good. The biggest problem with the Shipper are the plot lines that are either bad or don’t get developed enough. The show is helped a lot by some strong performances by Ohm and First. Jennie is also good as the Angel of Death.

I’m glad I didn’t love the ending, because around episode 11 I was getting worried that I’d have to say that I liked this show. The fact that I don’t love the ending doesn’t me it doesn’t make sense or that it sucked. Kim wanting Way to go on his own path, even though it would take them to opposite sides of the world, makes sense. It would allow both of them to make their own decision and be free for the first time. That’s the real love.

I’d say the last 2 episodes are actually good, but not enough to make the first 2/3 of the season a good watch. The only big redeeming quality of the first half are the visual effects. The Kana/Bii story is very bad, even after you learn why Kim did all that. Actually, even after you learn why Kim acted the way he did, I don’t feel like it’s satisfactory enough. Most shows try not to paint the main character in such a bad light as a way of making it easier for the viewers to like them. But this show did the opposite. Once you realize that Kim has been dead the whole time, and not coming back, we understand that he show doesn’t need you to root for him, you just need to understand the message he left. Live life today.

The real true love in the show is really between Kim and Way. We don’t actually get a “he loves his brother and family in secret”. We see via Way that Kim doesn’t hate Khet, but we never got a real sense of him liking or taking care of Khet. He knew about the hair salon but never did anything. He also knew that Khet blamed himself or their broken relationship but never did anything either.

Unrelated to Kim, the hair salon is a big problem to the show, it doesn’t make sense. How did a 15 year old learn to do hair well enough to get a job doing that? Did Khet only do it to find a hair treatment for Pan or that’s just a bonus? In the end, is Khet still missing class to work in the salon?

Overall, I feel like this show had good ideias for the ending, but the execution and early story was weak.

PS: I don’t think this show did well enough for the story to continue from that extra Kim scene in the end.

i came back after almost 3 years

i remember watching this series when it was airing but i dropped it back then because I didn't really had much time.

now after so much time i came back because i wanted to see more of First acting (i actually became his fan because of this series) and god was it my mistake.

until 11th episode i was so happy and loved it but oh my frickin god how i hate bad endings. i never liked stories that had soul exchange as a plot but i really wanted to give this another try (and in some twisted way it was worth it and i love firsts acting so much).

this is honestly the first series that made go on ao3 and look for another ending stories because im fuckin in shambles, crying mess.

but if you like angst then go for it!! the acting is good and even thought its sometimes a bit second hand embarrassment worth i still think that its a good series, its just that the ending (and main point of the story to be honest) is not for me.

Again, here we go with the scriptwriters favourite, the body swap. Occuring inbetween a boy and girl. It's all very funny & cute, of course until the sweet innocent girl needs to pee for the first time. Then, she'll have to get acquainted with the boy's "thingy" no matter what.

For a romance, this theme usually is of a low use because any romance progress a person can make during such body swap is with someone either the wrong sex, or wrong orientation, after they swap back, lol. The longer runtime it goes on, the more you'll start questioning whether it will still work, and kinda wish they'd just switch back soon. Even here, where we have just the fangirl trying to be a "well wisher" for somebody else, we face a dilemma. I guess it's never easy to write this kind of stories.

Also, from the audience point of view, we can barely appreciate how cute the girl is, if we have to watch First Kanaphan most of the screentime. Occasionally, there are short moments when they show us the girl instead of him, like they are trying to save the given scene after all (else how "romantic" can a boy look with his brother?:) but it's not enough.

On the other hand, what's too much is the final conclusion. We get to know why only one participant of the switch was awake after the body swap. I said this watching 'Notification' series and I'll say it again: Death is a too dark a theme for a fluffy fantasy-romance show. It makes no sense that everyone learns the truth so late (while all the time they have been conversing with Angel Of Death) and it makes no sense why so much relationship development was given to the secondary character and not the main one.

The fact that somebody died is kinda even worse if someone has been parading around posing as them, for quite some time after it happened. Didn't the screenwriter realize that all the shenanigans and manipulations with other people's feelings during that time could be forgiven ONLY if the person eventually got their body back? It's not just the love interests, but also the parents and other relatives. I'd say things were no longer funny. Then again, "Angel Of Death" is someone funny on this show. Incompetent to know who died for so long, all the Angel is able to offer is the surviving person can choose which of the two bodies to stay in? Wow. Btw, I added the spoiler alert in my review because of these paragraphs, but honestly I think there should rather be "Death Of Main Character" listed in Tags.

I know it was all because they tried to engage the audience emotionally, but in truth it was dumb. In the final episode, they harrass us for a little while that even the second couple won't make it (while the victim of the first disaster is already smiling in acceptance) then at least they have their happy reunion but of course, we don't get to see the final kiss of the boy & girl in question, as this was made for BL fans, lol. What this show managed to do was that thanks to the body swap, neither gay nor straight audience got their satisfaction. I could not enjoy the "romantic climax" where the guy finally wins the heart of his girl, but he has to kiss his brother (and then bury his dead body). But who cares (the girl's actress was probably underage and so she wasn't onscreen much) we then have a sweet voiceover to give us magazine-like moral advice, and we're back to fluff and jokes. I found the "wise message" of this series worthy of a smirk and the same goes for the humour... About the most funny about it was the loud "Eh?" the main girl/boy tended to utter when really surprised, lol.

In the end, one character died but else everyone is happy and the main heroine is back to the same stupid online writing as before, lol.

This is a very bad story to be honest.

I started watching it because of the bl but in the end the bl did not survive.there are many questions to ask Like why they kill kim?and why it is not happy ending for the way and kim?why that couple survive which was not interesting at all.Only thing good about this serie is comedy.The ending is horrible.I am very disappointed im GMM tv for this project.I cried in the last episode so much that I didn't even like the happy ending for all other couples.I am gonna say only watch it for once but keep in mind that it is not a good bl for me.If you are interested in comedy series then watch it.I am sad because they killed the most cute character of the serie P First.If you want to watch a soul switching bl then watch cupid's last wish by EarthMix. Way better than this one.

Unexpected

After watching 7 out of 10 eps of this series, I can truly say that it is special, and VERY UNEXPECTED, how? First of, the trailer itself confuses us watchers since we were not really given a full grasp on what this show is really about. Is it a bl? Will there be all hetero couples and absolutely no bl couples? Is it a romcom? Is it a serious type of show? So many questions are asked after just watching the trailer, which it good because gmm did not give much away, or any in that sense.

The show itself is very interesting, knowing that us fans know absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that it's about shipping. The show shows an overly exaggerated way of shippers shipping their ships (wow so redundant), so it is somehow relatable because i'm pretty sure us watchers have our own fav ships, but whats special about this show is that it offers more than merely fantasizing our ships. It shows that we shouldn't think that our ships are absolutely perfect, because they are human too. They have bad sides and it's ok. However we should hold them accountable for these actions. It shows the relationships between each characters, what makes them special. For example, the relationship between Pan and Soda, super wholesome. And of course each episode is a cliff hanger that leaves us wanting more

I don't know how this will end, because to be honest i did not even know what to expect in the beginning, but all i have to say is that so far, the show is very entertaining and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to laugh, cry, scream (bc of the ships), and other emotions.

(btw, p'jennie makes this show 10000000x better than it already is :P)

Sit back and enjoy.

STORY:
The story is just like any body-swap story! It is NOT A BL, it was not advertised as a BL, do NOT EXPECT THE SHOW TO BE FOCUSED ON BL. It has an LGBTQ+ aspect which is not the main focus.
Overall, the story is really cute and fun to watch. It tries to impart a few morals to its viewers such as how being too selfless is not a healthy thing, and that sometimes you need to let go. Being the light hearted comedy that it is, the plot may have a few holes in it, but nothing that'll really haunt you.

ACTING:
The acting was superb. I could feel the emotions of the characters without them even saying anything. Their eyes said everything.

MUSIC:
The music was cute and catchy.

NOTE:
You may have seen many glorified reviews/comments/thoughts about this drama. DO NOT let them get to your head. The more you expect from a drama, the more you will be disappointed. Just sit back and enjoy, don't think too much!

I put off watching this show because I thought it would be like a parody situation and those aren’t really my thing so I started watching right after episode 10 came out and got caught up in 2 days. It was so hilarious, sweet, and just so GOOD! The whole cast was amazing. It made me laugh, cry, grin, etc. I suggest you at least watch the first 2 episodes to see if you like it but I’m telling you I absolutely LOVED it! The only reason I gave it only an 8 on the rewatch value is because I would already know the plot twists and the ending.

My favorite thai drama

This drama is actually so good. I don't usually like to ship people when they're not the main cast, but this series got me shipping everyone! Even the girls xD. I recommend watching this, it's very interesting and there's so many scenes that will make you fangirl. The series is also very funny, P'Jennie is the funniest.

The Story:
I really like the story because I've never seen a series or movie where the main character switches body (in a kdrama). The series really shows how it's like to be a fujoshi, I can relate to it. The story is amazing because there's so many scenes where fujoshis can ship two people.

The acting:
I think the acting is very realistic, and the characters show clear emotions. All the actors are perfect for their role.

The music:
The music is actually so good, I often swing my head with the melody.

The rewatch value is at TOP because I could NEVER get bored of it! It's so interesting to see the characters build and change throughout the series.

Negative:
The relationship Kim had with the teacher made me cringe so hard. The way the teacher acted made me want to puke. Like she's 40 or something and he's at least 20 years younger.

Overall the series is going real smooth, and it doesn't make me nervous of what's coming in the next episodes. I just hope Kim and Panithita doesn't die.
