I love this Bl
First off, I want to express that this BL (Boys' Love) series is the first one I've watched in its entirety, with all 12 episodes.Overall, I just love this BL. I simply adore stories and concepts like this. Once again, they've done an amazing job of hooking me into the story, even though I wasn't initially convinced by it.
As mentioned, I did have some initial issues with the story. I was very confused because the beginning with Talay and Puem was so cute. Their meeting at the airport and then during the film shoot. But I must admit, I didn't read the description of the series (I never do. I usually get my pre-info mostly from TikTok, haha). Then suddenly, he wakes up in another body in a different universe. That really threw me off. I thought I might dislike the series because Talay is in Tess's body and has to deal with the new universe and his friends/parents. And then the whole thing with Pakorn/Tun, who somehow has Tess, and Talay can't figure out why.
But my opinion changed instantly when Puem came back in Tun's body. And then the story really took off. I just love how they both try to live the lives of their respective bodies as best they can. And thus, their friends get to see their own friends and family. And the love that develops between them is so incredibly sweet. It was also cute that Talay never really saw/acknowledged that Tun/Puem was his portkey until the end.
But it broke my heart when Puem and Tun switched bodies again, and Talay and Tess were still trapped in their respective bodies. My heart still aches when I think about Talay waiting at the beach for a whole month until he could cross back over to his universe and reunite with Puem. And when they found each other again, well, we don't need to talk about that. I cried.
So, all in all, I LOVE THIS BL.

It was good?
This is a show that I randomly watched,it took me about three days.Firstly I think the sponsors are pretty annoying but I guess they need them if you are on a low budget.Sometimes the show was okay and great.I thought about watching it for Aouboom but i don’t think they were a side couple,they just got maybe a couple scenes.The chemistry was good.I do really like the story.It was kinda sometimes confusing and sometimes really good.My favorite characters are the nurse and Fuse.The good things are the Story ,Acting and the Intro.Just don’t have any expectations and just watch!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Sottovalutata probabilmente.
Sapete quando uno vede qualche cosa ed automaticamente gli sembra costoso? Ecco più o meno mi è successo questo vedendo questa serie. È tutto curato nei minimi dettagli e i colori fanno da padroni. Ci sono scene dove tutto è su un tono e solo Taley spicca per una maglia coloratissima, oppure ci sono scene dai toni soft, ma ricercati, insomma se una persona è appassionata di colori questa serie è congliatissima. Credo sia uno dei migliori lavori in quanto a post produzione e compagni che abbia visto dalla GMMTV. Poi parlando della storia è una storia d’amore con dei toni fantasy/fantascienza senza troppe pretese. Nel senso, non c’è necessità di avere grandi domande filosofiche o cattivi da distruggere, semplicemente la storia parla di due persone che letteralmente si trovano nel corpo di qualcun altro e che ci devono convivere, almeno finché non sognano, trovata semplice, ma d’effetto e che alla fine non richiede molte spiegazioni se non il fatto gli abitanti di un mondo, nell’altro non sognano. Mi sono piaciuti tutti i personaggi secondari, di un mondo e dell’altro e ho trovato le performance di Jimmy e Sea interessanti (ci tengo a sottolineare che ho odiato in maniera viscerale il personaggio interpretato da Jimmy in Bad Buddy), se si pensa che sono alla prima esperienza da protagonisti. Una cosa che ho apprezzato parecchio sono stati i cameo di molti attiri di stampo GMMTV, dove il loro ruolo di attori viene ricordato (quindi come Tay o Gun, non come Perth che invece ha interpretato un ruolo vero e proprio nella storia). È stato molto cute anche il fatto che abbiano dato a Mix un piccolo ruolo come veterinario, insomma è proprio una serie ben studiata (ed emotiva, perché lo ammetto, quando c’è stato il funerale di una delle due cape della associazione “tailandesi nel multiverso” ho pianto). Quindi bello proprio, molto consigliato.Eh… voi pensavate che mi fossi dimenticata di loro, vero? Ovviamente no, diciamo che questo è solo un PS per fare i miei più grandi complimenti a Ohm e Nanon per la loro interpretazione, breve, ma intensa. Insomma li ho adorati, e per circa tre quarti della serie speravo di riuscire a vedere dei piccoli snip della loro vita nel nostro “universo”, poi nelle ultime puntate mi sono ricreduta pensando che era meglio così, che insomma la sorpresa di vedere come sarebbero state le vite di Taley e Puen, se avessero rovinato completamente le carriere (più Tess che Tun), se si fossero ritrovati anche loro… se la storia d’amore sbocciata in un universo si sarebbe potuta ritrovare anche nell’altro (dubito, vista l’irritazione cronica che causa Tess ad ogni singolo essere vivente). Insomma, è anche grazie a loro se questa serie mi è piaciuta così tanto.
(Unica domanda, perché si chiame uncut version? Nel senso ho presente come si presentato certe versioni uncut e boh… va beh)

Just a low stakes fantasy BL
Sometimes, it's not that deep!This was a funky BL that tried to do a little bit more than they could, and that's ok. They can try again later!
So this drama is not that bad as some people say, but it is also definitely not as good as people say.
A lot of things were left unresolved (wtf are tess and tun doing in puen and talay's world???) and the world building was so-so, but it was fun enough and pretty low stakes for me. I watched this after Last Twilight, so this series already had a better ending than that...
Anyway, I liked the cinematography and the jimmyxsea had quite a few moments that made me smile at my screen.
If you're looking for a fun, kind of fantasy BL, this is for you!

One of the best series in the Body Swap genre
Vice Versa is a remarkable BL series that explores the concepts of identity and self-acceptance behind the veneer of body swap. The story is compelling and the characters have this uniqueness that you don’t see in a lot of other BL series.On the surface the plot of Vice Versa is rather simple. 2 guys Talay and Puen swap bodies with Tess and Tun who reside in a different universe. The story is about the journey of these 2 protagonists to find their way back to their original world and discover the feelings they have for each other. But this story would not have been engaging if it were that simple. The series goes at lengths to explain the issues that such a body swap could have. We have the characters discussing about the responsibilities they have to ensure that they do not ruin the lives of the people whose bodies they possess. They actively work towards meeting the goals that Tess and Tun had put ahead for themselves all the while trying to navigate through the difficult situation of living a different life and finding their way back home. A relationship between the leads that starts as lost souls in a different universe, to acquaintances with the common goal to get to their own world, to friends working towards realizing their dream, to finally lovers dedicated to their relationship in both the worlds.
One of the strengths of the series is the lengthy explanation about people jumping through universes and what it takes to go back and the complications they can face while living in this unknown yet similar universe. Like Talay and Puen there are many others that have stuck in this universe and like them are struggling to find their true selves.
The chemistry between the 2 leads is palpable and their on-screen persona draws the viewers in to the story. The emotional nuances and subtleties conveyed by the actors further amplify the authenticity of the characters’ experiences. The intimate conversations between the leads and swoon worthy.
Although the story is captivating and the actors have been phenomenal there are times that the pace slows down significantly and you are waiting for it to be picked up again. There are certain aspects of the body swaps that are purposely kept vague so it can be molded in to anything at the later stage which made me feel that the concept was completely thought out.
In conclusion, this series certainly stands out due to its captivating story-line and wonderful performances. There are surprising number of guest appearances from actors and dialogues from other famous and successful BL series.

cute fantasy watch!
okay sO. doES it have so many product placements that at a point made me wanna throw the PC at a wall? absolutely. however, after from that and after thinking for a bit about other things that I don't enjoy as much about the show (the weird pacing, the questionable angles at times), i realised that this is partly a story about two people living other people's lives, in other people's bodies, and adjusting to how you can be your most authentic self while still having the responsibility of another person's life. maybe i'm looking too into it but i quite enjoyed that aspect of the show. how talay and puen found refuge in each other projections of both universes.would recommend to people who like fiction in bls and pink in general.

Terminei vice-versa um tanto contrariada, temendo não ser uma boa história e não podia estar mais enganada, saí quase 100% satisfeita. Foi uma das tramas mais criativas que encontrei recentemente, parecia mesmo outro universo, cada pequeno detalhe fez valer a pena a espera do relacionamento de ambos se iniciar. Aprendi muitas coisas com o desenvolver e passei a ver a cor rosa com ainda mais carinho. Perdemos personagens importantes e demos valor para vida como nunca antes. O amor deles foi sincero e bem construído, consegui sentir que era mais do que uma simples porta para voltar. Tem um leve drama em algumas partes, mas que ajuda, não é nada maçante. A única coisa que me impede de dar 10 é o fato de que eu queria MUITO saber de verdade como estava o outro mundo, sem ser nos sonhos deles. Me apeguei ao grupo totalmente e senti falta de verdade da aparição deles, mas tirando isso, foi muito bom e a atuação agregou totalmente a trama. Voltaria a ver com certeza. Belas declarações, risadas e lágrimas leves, que o rosa nos faça abrir os corações e andar de forma conjunta.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Il y a un gros problème d'intrigue dans cette série, j'ai vraiment enduré les derniers épisodes, c'était tellement long. C'est dommage car les premiers épisodes étaient intéressants mais j'ai l'impression qu'il ne s'est rien passé, que ça tournait en rond et franchement leurs placements de produits je n'en pouvais plus, je crois que j'en ai jamais vu autant dans une série ou alors je les remarquais moins car au moins la série était bonne, ce qui n'était pas le cas de celle-là.
Pour ce qui est de l'alchimie entre les deux acteurs, je suis assez mitigée, je trouvais que niveau contact physique qu'ils n'étaient pas vraiment à l'aise mais j'ai vu pire.
Je mets quand même un 5 parce que c'est surtout les derniers épisodes que j'ai enduré et parce que le jeu d'acteur n'était pas catastrophique mais c'est sûr que ça sera la seule fois que je vais regarder cette série.

Had Potential but used it only in the first few and last few eps.
I really liked it, especially because it's something different among all the school/university BLs that were already kinda sick of.The idea is amazing; I loved the transitions XD.
In the first few episodes, both of them tried to fit into this new universe and I really enjoyed watching this part.
I loved how they hit of instantly, but there's one thing that i didn't really like: The transition from friends to lovers (or something more than just friends).
I felt like it was all over the place and just a bit chaotic with random moments and random kisses.
On the other side, I really started to love the last EPS again. How they both tried to get back into their universe and this weird in between of Tess & Pued.
Overall, i liked the beginning and the end, the middle was kinda unnessesary.
(+ i loved guns guest role)

Inégal
Vice Versa commence bien, très bien. Sea est drôle et adorable, Jimmy beau et charismatique, et la rencontre des deux est excitante et laisse augurer de beaux moments.J'ai été enthousiasmée par le scénario fantastique, bien mis en place, bien expliqué, bien joué. C'est néanmoins très surprenant de continuer à voir le visage et le corps de Sea, et de Jimmy (etc.), mais une fois qu'on l'accepte, ça n'est plus si gênant.
La relation des deux protagonistes avec les amis de Tess et Tun a été l'un des éléments que j'ai préférés, très chaleureuse, très famille, mais également très douce-amère puisqu'on se doute bien du dénouement.
Mais le drama se perd. Ça traine en longueur, ça tourne en rond, la relation des deux protagonistes n'avance pas, qui plus est je n'ai pas trouvé le couple JimmySea particulièrement charismatique, il manque une alchimie qui pourrait les transformer en "pairing" majeure.
Quelques petits problèmes de production à noter, comme la photo prise par PuenTalay, où on voit JimmySea et non OhmNanon.
Et surtout le sur-placement de produits, qui devient vite horripilant. Le placement de produits a toujours été présent dans les productions thaïlandaises, mis en scène de façon tellement évidente que ça en est hilarant, mais on ne parle plus de placement ici mais de quasi clips publicitaires d'au moins 1mn à chaque fois, proposés aux moments les plus improbables...
L'idée la plus géniale de Vice Versa est néanmoins la présence de références (ou easter eggs) aux productions GMM. C'est un régal de retrouver les acteurs de la maison et les clins d’œil à leur vécu, les répliques cultes de leurs dramas cultes, les noms de sociétés et de personnages etc. Jouissif, réellement jouissif.

My jaw hurts from smiling!
It got me screaming, hitting pillow and smiling ear to ear. It really is one sweet romance that makes your heart flutter! It also has its funny moments, especially everytime Neo appears! Love seeing this different side of himInitially, I dropped this show as I found it quite slow, but I picked it up again after I watched JimmySea in Last Twilight. I'm glad I gave it another chance. It's worth it in the end.
It might starts off a bit slow, but once it picks up, it gets really good.
While there are lots of fluffy moments, this show isn't shallow at all. It brings with it life lessons around love, friendship, work and life in general. It got us thinking about things we might not consider on daily life. What if you get to live another life in other Universe? Would you want to live the other person's life or go back to your Universe? Why?
The only thing that bugged me is the product placement. It's common to have them and I understand why, but this show must have overdone it a little much. It felt annoying after a while when the script is written just for the sake of PPL. Like, how many times must the MLs stop to brush their teeth in 1 series?! Or, cook noodles, or eat that choc pie? or drink tea?
Like, there is easily 4 PPL in one episode. If we cut out those "forcefully written" script, I think we'll end up with 10 episodes, which then probably the show could have been more compact and exciting, lol
Besides that, I enjoyed everything else.
I really love JimmySea chemistry. It really warms my heart just watching them teasing, bickering, and falling head over heels in love for each other.
The ending is also very satisfactory for me, it's not rush at all.
I found it worth watching overall. Give it a try and you might just like it!

esteticamente agradável e bem feito
quando se trata de vice-versa eu talvez seja a pessoa mais parcial desse site já que na primeira cena eu já tava envolvida o suficiente pra saber que seria um dos meus bl's favoritos.se você tá procurando uma obra prima é claro que não vai ser isso que você vai encontrar, mas o desenvolvimento dos personagens e a sensibilidade na direção foi o suficiente pra me comover e me fazer gostar tanto o quanto eu gostei.
Uma das coisas que mais amo em mídias de romance é conseguir ver os personagens se apaixonarem de um jeito mais profundo e sem correr muito pra resoluções e intrigas coisa que vice versa entregou junto com a química muito bem explorada dos jimmysea, principalmente em cenas românticas,
é um dos meus bls de conforto, e me passa coisas boas, eu diria pra dar uma chance
