Cupid, Please Wish It To Be Over
Watching the trailer, I thought I will get a balance of drama and romance with a good body-switching plot. However, the majority that I get is full of annoying childish tantrums from an immature character.Mix plays Win, the unreasonable, childish, and full of animosity. The character literally annoys me throughout the drama. Earth plays Korn, though he is kind, but doesn’t have any balls to explain why he got the inheritance from Win’s father. If only they talked on the 3rd or 4th episode then this drama won’t be draggy as it is due to hot-cold treatment of Win to Korn throughout the show. Lin, Win’s sister is a breath of fresh air. She’s the very few likeable female character in a BL. My concern with her is she is powerless and helpless till the end. Despite that, I have to commend Janhae’s acting for delivering a dual role as Lin and Win.
Another part I’m distressed is that the Mother, Uncle, and Aunt didn’t get the karma they deserved. The Mom was forgiven easily despite the manipulation that she did of the will and forcing Lin and Korn with the engagement while gaslighting Win. This homophobic, plainly evil character deserve to get hit by a karma yet didn’t get it. Very disappointing. The Uncle and Aunt didn’t paid for their sins for the attempted murder, it wasn’t even revealed the horrible thing they did.
Cinematography of the drama is good. The locations where the series shot are exhilarating to the eyes. I wish hey cut some scenes where all they do is eat! One or two scenes of binge eating is enough, but almost every episode I get to see Win (or Lin) eat like a pig which makes me want to skip the scene due to repetitiveness. Music is okay but not exemplary.
There is no doubt that Earth and Mix are great actors, especially Mix. But this show is incomparable from their previous show 'A Tale Of A Thousand Stars'. The only area that this is better than 1000 Stars is that Earth eats Mix's face in the finale, which didn't happen in their previous drama.
You won’t enjoy this unless you are an Earth and Mix fan. I like both actors but the show, not that much. It has the potential but failed to get there.

Ótimo enredo
Fui assistir sem muita empolgação pelas críticas, mas a história é bem divertida e cheia de surpresas. Pelo Earth e o Mix eu vejo até 10 vezes, mas mesmo sem eles a história é envolvente e entrega o que promete. O plot de troca de corpo é sempre divertido e não seria diferente com esse enredo.As cenas da adaptação com o corpo são engraçadas e também o desenvolvimento do romance que começa desde o primeiro episódio. Como toda produção tailandesa algumas cenas são arrastadas, mas os atores entregaram muito nas atuações.

Adoro questa serie!!
Allora partiamo dal fatto che precedentemente a questa mi sono vista a Tale of thousand stars e quindi adoravo già la chimica dei due protagonisti.Ma qui devo ammettere che l'alchimia per me era alle stelle.
La trama nonostante fosse già vista in altrifilm oserie tv (non drama), posso dire che per questo BL sia stato abbastanza originale; inoltre penso che attorialmente parlando Mix(il protagonista nel corpo della sorella) sia stato eccezionale e penso che recitativamente parlando sia anche migiorato rispetto alla sua prima performance(anche se è stato molto bravo ugualmente).
L'unica pecca che possa attribuigli è che avrei voluto più scene romantiche per i due protagonisti (mi riferisco a quando si sono già scambiati l'anima i due fratello e sorella), invece che lasciarle per l'ultimo episodio.
Ma a parte questo la consiglio a tutti vivamente!!

It’s good but could’ve been better
This was a really good show that started off strong and had so much potential but it had some major issues that just held me back from giving it anything more than 7 stars.Firstly I just didn't really like the plot that much. I mean I normally love body swap tropes, but this one was poorly made. Like they kissed when Win was still in Lin's body, I mean they used Mix to film that scene but still it just irked me quite a bit.
Second -mind you this is the biggest issue in my opinion- the mother! She couln't have been any more annoying. Like she created all that mess just to keep the both of them apart, but woman are you stupid? Korn has a quarter of the farm they will have to see one another eventually duh. And then she goes and makes her daughter marry him just so she can keep her son away from him. Like that entire engagement thing was just so unnecessary, and then the second they confess their love for each other she just goes and apologies for everything she's done. Really stupid.
And another issue, the uncle and the aunt, they were completely unnecessary. They did not add anything to the plot, we could've very well just omitted them without having any issues. Also i haaate Lin's personality, if there is such a thing that is. All she did was cry, beg her mom and brother to calm down, and smile every now and then. Also the relationship between Lin and Non was just so sudden, it was just so random, it literally spawned out of no where.
Also who the hell was the cupid, I'm clueless. Well other than that I liked it a lot. I loved both Earth's and Mix's characters, yes Win was a bit short tempered and acted like a child most of the time but I still loved them both.
Plot wise a tale of a thousand stars was much better, but honestly I hated earth in there and I also thought that earthmix had absolutely no chemistry what so ever, but after watching this one I get the hype! now I ship them too😭
Well all in all this show had so much potential but all those little mistakes took it down, but Earthmix and Jan carried the entire thing with their beautiful acting and great chemistry (Jan not included in that) well yeah but I can say that I really liked it.

Um ótimo drama
Eu gostei bastante de Cupid's Last Wish, é aquela serie que você consegue terminar bem rápido, nem ver o tempo passar. Gosto bastante do desenvolvimento dos personagens principais, me acabava com as cenas deles brigando no carro, e achei a reconciliação bem natural, levando em consideração que eles já se amavam desde o começo.Os cenários também são um diferencial, Cupid's Last Wish foge da temática escola/universidade, mostrando paisagens diferentes para cada etapa da missão deles.
Além disso, achei bem humano o trajeto do Wen até ele conciliar os próprios sentimentos (inclusive, o Mix cada vez me surpreende mais com a atuação dele, dando um banho em muito veterano). No entanto, minha única ressalva com a serie são os acontecimentos do final: aquela mãe péssima, com o plano mirabolante que podia ter estragado a vida dos filhos terminar por isso mesmo, e a passividade dos três personagens principais perante as imposições da mãe me irritou mais que tudo.
Apesar disso eu recomento muito a série, tive uma ótima experiência e o beijinho dos Earthmix no finalzinho me curou da parte que me estressou.

I watched first episode on the first week of April but I just finished today lol. The story of this series made me bored at first, I was even thinking about dropping this series, then I got nothing to watch so I decided to resumed this show, there were 6 episodes left at that time (I know, its a lot, lol). Swap-bodies is actually one of the "common" genres in bl drama, that's why the first 3 episodes made me decide to take a break for a moment (actually 3 months lol).
Another reason is, I'm not a MixEarth's fan. lol
Those two handsome actors are the combination that I am least waiting for (after OffGun lol). However, I have to admit that after watching several Earth series, his appearance in this series is my most favorite one. Contrary to 1000 stars, I don't really like Mix's performance here. There are many scenes that I think he pretty seems redundant, even for people who don't like Earth, his appearance on this series really helps their chemistry.
The reason why I was able to finish this series (finally), is because the last three episodes were really something that I've never expected. I had a thought about the family's conflict that disappeared in episodes 8 and 9, and turns out that they save "the conflict" at the finale.
And yes, thank you for those who have given positive (but not excessive) reviews for this series, which has influenced me (a lot) to give this series a chance.

a rather unexpected delight despite a shaky script
I'm working my way through every EarthMix title, and I wasn't so sure about this one going in! The plot sounded a little slapdash and I wasn't quite interested in the realities of body-swapping... so I'd been avoiding it. While most of my concerns were at least a *little* valid, I generally found this series to be a much stronger work than I anticipated. The characters are charming, the actors shine, the plot is compelling and fun, and the pacing wallows much less than some of their heavier series. I found myself watching this much faster than I intended and laughing a lot along the way.-The Full Review-
STORY:
Unfortunately, the story is the weakest aspect of this series (a rather unusual circumstance for EarthMix, who tend to deliver complex, realistic plots and characters). There is, honestly, almost no real thought put into the circumstances of the body-swap, leading to some slightly stilted and unsatisfyingly flat conflict around the edges. I wish that there had been a bit more care in developing a conflict that would drive such close friends so far apart. That said, the emotional connection between these characters was strong as ever, and Win and Korn's struggle to communicate once they were on their journey was plenty compelling enough to make up the difference.
My only other gripe with the story is that it didn't quite take it's magical premise far enough. Despite incredibly able actors, most of the utility of the body-swap fell to surface level gender jokes. While these are done very well, it is disappointing to see the swapping mechanic fall to the wayside in more emotional scenes, despite being central to the miscommunication. I would have liked to see them explore this more to truly live up to the full potential.
ACTING:
Wow. I am already a fan of Earth and Mix (obviously) and had enjoyed Jan a lot in Cherry Magic TH... but this was truly something else. I have to commend Mix and Jan for their success in building two characters together--it is not an easy task to do and they performed it so well. I have already complained at length, but I wish I would have gotten to see *more.* Jan does such a phenomenal job in matching Mix's high energy and crass body language for Win, meanwhile Mix does an excellent job of holding himself and his voice softly for the scant few minutes he's allowed to play Lin. I am never confused about who is who, and the emotions of these characters travel easily between actors and swaps.
PRODUCTION:
I really have to hand it to the costumes department here. The colors and fabrics are perfectly chosen, creating a bright and slightly unreal world, while still grounding the characters in their professions and personality. As pieces, Korn's jacket and Win's bag easily became recognizable touch stones. Korn's car, the Katin plush, and the bottles of holy water also brought a similar fun stylized-realism that worked with the fantasy plot. It was really a beautiful and bright show to watch.
In all, I really enjoyed this work and would recommend it! It isn't my top title from these actors, but it is a beloved edition to their filmography and one that I know I will reach for again when I need a smile.

SUPER CUTE!!!
Honestly didn’t know what I was expecting when I started this show but it wasn’t what is actually shown, first off I want to recognize how amazing the acting is, like seriously Lin acting as Win and Win acting as Lin, they were both so good at it that it felt like they actually switched bodies. And the scene where the mom is crying in episode 10 is so realistic it actually made me feel so sad because her emotions felt real. So props to the actors they did an amazing job! Second, the chemistry was amazing, this isn’t a show where there’s a lot of kiss scenes or anything and normally I like kiss scenes or stuff in that genre but this show did an amazing job at keeping me entertained and also giving me the chemistry needed to make my heart race. And the chances we did get to see kiss scenes they were amazing!! The story is super cute and soft, nothing too out there but also perfect enough to make those 10 episodes go by in a blink of an eye. I want to rate this an 8.8/10 but it only lets me rate 8.5 or 9, imo it’s not 9 worthy because again its not an extraordinary story, it’s simple but super well made! If you’re looking for something soft and cute to watch and also a quick watch since it has 10 episodes then this is just for you. I would definitely recommend, mainly because of the 10 episodes, and the fact that each episode is like 40+ min, I seriously hate when shows are longer than they should be and also lengthy on minutes of the episodes, so the fact that this show is simple, cute, soft and short wins my heart.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
rewatching for the 3rd time
I do understand that Mixs character seems unreasonable at the beginning, but the rest is amazing. It has a fun story, great acting, amazing chemistry and the OST is constantly playing on loop in my head. I also had my doubts in the beginning, when I watched it for the first time cuz I wasn't sure about the whole body swap thing, but Korn (Earth) is aware that it's Win (Mix) and not his sister he is talking to and seriously they were in love with eachother even before Win and Rin swapped bodies. You can't convince me otherwiseVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Une série toute en douceur !
J'ai bien aimé cette série, Earth et Mix jouent très bien, l'environnement nous changeant des histoire habituelle, j'ai bien aimé l'histoire, mais elle ne sera malheureusement un coup de cœur pour moi, je ne sais pas si elle aurait dû être plus longue pour en savoir plus ou bien plus courte.Point fort de cette histoire, on apprend quelques trucs utiles, ou non haha. On voit un homme souffrir de douleurs menstruelles, ce qui je pense, a fait plaisir à certaines femmes.
En-tout-cas, je me suis regardé cette petite pépite en une journée, même si elle n'est pas un coup de cœur, elle est bien placée dans ma liste de BL !

A story that is uneven
This BL series is all over the map, literally. It centered yet again around soul-swapping which is close to becoming a trope. It is also filled with a bunch of down-right awful people. Some even malicious and bordering on murderous. There is also a saint or two and at least one abuser who then sees the errors of his ways. The story is quiet but uneven and becomes a bit cliché. It has some good moments of self-discovery though. The one other thing that was exacerbating was the unnecessary need to make communication so obtuse. Why can't you say what you mean? Entertaining enough overall though.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
