The series couldn't find it's 'portkey'



yeah there...I said it ! If you compare it with bls that has been released this year (so far) , vice versa's plot is quite refreshing and It had so much potential to be one of the best series (this year) but oh well, the team said...not today! The show had everything they needed , but they failed to figure out how to put that to work.

PUENTALAY/JIMMYSEA
The story is about Puen and Talay who get transported to a different universe and wake up in the bodies of tess and tun respectively. They later find out that they are each other's 'portkey'. They start living as tess and tun, working on projects, spending time with their friends, having cute / fluffy moments with each other, fall in love and that's that. Honestly, as the show progresses , the ' different universe' thing is flushed down the drain, you barely see them struggling or trying to figure out things. It doesn't feel like they are living as someone else. They then go back to their universe just like that.
There was barely any actual plot. THEY MADE THE SERIES JUST SO THEY COULD PROMOTE THEM PRODUCTS. LIKE THAT SHIT WAS FRUSTRATING. There were more product placements than the plot.

I loved the chemistry between the actors though, THEY SERVED. If it weren't for them, I don't think the series would've worked out the way it did and people would rate it this high. JIMMYSEA >>>

TESSTUN/OHMNANON
It was made clear that they were cameos but I still did NOT understand what were they trying to do with these characters. There were so many things that are left unanswered. The reason they fought, the reason why tun had a crush on tess, how did tun manage to work as puen [who is suppposed to be a famous actor] what happened when they went back to their universe, etc. I mean, they do show them smiling at each other at the end and stuff but do you think that's enough?
I also want to talk about Tess' character. It is implied that Tess is a brat and Talay lost his job because of him. That part of the story literally made no sense, it seems as if they just made tess the 'villain' (what he did still wasn't enough to call him that because they didn't elaborate what exactly he did in those 2 years) just to add some angst , they just didn't want puentalay to meet so soon. so yes, what I said, tesstun/ohmnanon were just there..to be there which exactly what was intended to be done but again, the buildup, those plot points in the beginning, promotion and all, what was the reason?

OVERALL
As I said, It had the potential but fell short. I would love to see the leads together in another series though :)
