confusion begins
Overall: although the start of the series was very confusing, I appreciate they tried a different type of plot. Watch after the initial credits for an important final scene. This is part of the My Universe series with 12 couples/stories over 24 episodes total (1 per week so 6 months of airing). Aired on iQIYI.Content Warnings: death, attempted suicide?, manhandling
What I Liked
- a more unique premise
- good kissing
Room For Improvement
- this was extremely confusing, there was a brief bar scene and then a bunch of characters were introduced with no clue of their relationships to one another/who they all were, 1/3 of the way in we got an exposition dump that clarified a bit but I didn't feel anything for any of the characters
- total nonsense approach/"plan"
- how does someone get electrocuted from having wine spilled/tossed on them, even if they meant had a seizure I don't understand how the wine was a trigger for that
- conversations felt very odd/scripted
- not a fan of putting an extremely important scene after the initial credits
- needed to air 2 episodes per week

Was very confusing most of the time
It got confusing quickly. We are thrown into the middle of this whole thing with a bunch of characters who we don’t know who they are, adding some flashbacks on top of it made it very hard to follow. There are obviously a lot of different connections between all characters, but the lack of explanations means we don’t really get familiar with those connections.The premise is quite interesting, I’ll admit that, but things are rushed. And that makes it choppy and hard to follow. Pluem / Kim is an interesting character, but he’s not the smartest. Also, slightly creepy at times. Khunkhao is not my favorite, and while we know Pluem is the one in Kim’s body, he doesn’t know that. Yet he’s flirting with a man who broke her sister’s heart. I’m sure that would make family reunions interesting.
The ending though… I should have expected something like that. Am I happy with it? Not really. Could it have been worse? Yes. Could it have been better? Yes.

Confusing, from beginning to end
This has got to be one of the most confusing miniseries' I've ever watched, because you can see what they tried to say with the story and at the same time, you can't. I have so many doubts about episode 1 but I can't remember them because they've been replaced by equally confusing doubts about episode 2!The actual premise they wanted to execute is quite interesting, ghost of the lead's ex - boyfriend takes over the body of someone the lead detests, but ex - boyfriend can't let anyone know it's him in the body of the casanova, simple enough. They screwed up the execution though, and boy how! The thoughts and actions of the characters rarely line together, the dialogue and narration is so messy that it's impossible to distinguish between the flashbacks and the present, and there are so many plot holes. More often than not, it's like the ex - boyfriend cannot remember that he mustn't reveal his identity because he's dropping clues everywhere. There's a weird love square between the lead, the ex - boyfriend, the casanova and the lead's sister, I mean, you have to see it to believe it.
You can tell what they wanted to do though, they wanted to create something sad and angsty, but with the runtime and the way they bungled the story, there's only so much they can present. Interesting premise that just faltered.

nothing confusing
i don't understand what the f are people confused about for me it was pretty straight forward series and was also not too long short and sweet all the emotions where proper showed. it was a new plot if you read the synopsis well there is nothing bad or confusing about it. you just need to remember the main three characters names and you are good to go. but it depends on a persons level of understanding and ability to understand deep plots to people who can't understand just leave it alone no need to make bad reviews about it and decrease it's ratingWas this review helpful to you?
Ceritanya sangat menarik dan penuh dengan life meaning.
Awalnya saya juga jujur agak bingung dengan cerita pendek ini, di durasi awal seolah-olah sudah terjadi banyak sekali kejadian, namun saya memutuskan untuk melanjutkannya dan saya membaca sedikit sinopsisnya agar saya lebih faham jalan ceritanya. Setelah itu, saya benar-benar harus memahami dan kenal dengan para tokoh utama diantaranya adalah: Khunkao, Pluem, Kim, Aoon dan Pun. Jika kalian sudah memahami semuanya, cobalah untuk menonton ; dan kalian akan menikmati ceritanya dengan baik. Dari segi dialog dan alur, sejujurnya mudah difahami dan epik banget ya ; ya itu dia, asalkan kalian faham mengenai sinopsis pendek dan mengenal para tokohnya dengan baik. Dari segi warna, menurutku sangat make sense dengan suansa fantasy supernaturalnya ya, dari segi romansa sangat baik ya, saya tidak tau betapa prem dan gym dapat memainkan drama dengan sebaik ini, chemistry mereka sangat kuat dan aku menyukainya. Series ini punya life meaning yang bagus terutama tentang menghargai kehidupan dan menikmatinya.

Jujur, ini sangat bagus!Was this review helpful to you?
