Cashgrab with bl on the side.
PLOT.Non-existent. Plot holes are so crucial, i was actually wondering if the screenwriter accidentally put their script into the shredder and tried to make something out of leftovers.
Don't get me wrong, im not picky when it comes to romance bl, BUT BFFR.. Its is physically impossible not to notice huge plot holes.
- Like how the concept of multiverse seems to be so common when it comes to main characters and others in their little universe-travellers club, but remains unknown to the rest of the world?
- What’s the actual purpose of the port-key if in reality it seems like you don’t need “a perfect match” to be able to come back from the parallel universe?
- How is nobody around main characters noticing the sudden and drastic change in their behaviour?
And the worst part is that the show was getting progressively more boring with every episode, because for some reason the focus was switched from the universe travel to your typical student life drama about four guys trying to make it in a movie industry.
ROMANCE.
Crazy chemistry between main characters and Nivea.
Some reviews are like“this series has such great chemistry and so many cute interactions between main characters that you can easily overlook the bad screenwriting and product placement”..
BUT TRUST ME. Almost every single “cute interaction” you will get in this series IS A FREAKING COMMERCIAL.
Every 15-20 minutes there is a minute long rant about chips, fried chicken, delivery service, face wash, drinks, scooters…
Every time characters were getting flirty i was praying for this not to be another product placement, but again and again it was a lifeless fanservice with big bright KFC logo in the middle of the screen and it was absolutely killing the vibe.
(I fckin lost it when THE PROPOSAL SCENE turned out to be basically a chips ad).
They also added this “guy 1 is openly hitting on guy 2, who keeps getting angry and rejecting him but secretly enjoys it” trope and usually i enjoy the flirtatious tension it brings BUT HERE… It felt sooo out of place and cringy i had to skip through a lot of scenes.
The love triangle also felt forced and instead of feeling excitement and anticipation of what this drama may take the plot to, i was just getting progressively bored by it.
ACTING.
Its… There..?
I wouldn’t call it horrible, it was just… meh.
To be fair its hard to actually see Jimmy’s & Seas acting in between of a badly scripted lines and exhaustingly cliche dialogues.
I know both of them are great actors (thanks god i watched Last Twilight first) but Vice Versa simply doesn’t give them the space to show their potential and its just sad.
The rest of the cast did pretty much okay, but honestly speaking, i wasn’t really fond of any of the supporting characters besides Phuwadol, who was killed off in the 7th episode.
OVERALL
Watch it under three circumstances:
- you don’t care about the plot
- you don’t care if almost every romantic interaction between characters is a product placement
- you are a jimmy&sea fan
In other cases i would recommend wasting your time on this mess.

Definitely Recommend!
This serie was one of the most adorable and unique BL's I've watched so far, the storyline is awesome and isn't like every other serie, different universes? Port keys? It's such a cool concept! I loved the acting and the cast so much, almost each episode had me on the edge of my seat. I grew so attached to it, had me sad to see it end! On the other hand I really suggest this title, It's adorable, cool, fantasy like genre, and doesn't just focus on the sex of a mlm relationship. It has an actual good consistent storyline. Such an emotional roller-coaster, don't think I've ever cried this much in a serie! Haha but don't be scared, it's such a great serie, I loved it, and I hope you grow to love it too.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
It's an ads dumpster but I pull through for Jimmysea
Here's what happened: I fell in love with Jimmysea through Last Twilight, watched vice versa's trailer and was happy they have another series with unique and promising plot, only to get hit in my face with tons of product placement. I do agree that this is a wasted potential.someone else already said what I want to say, I'm just here to even out the ratings lmao. as much as I love jimmysea i think an overall rating of 7.9 is too high

There are a lot of mixed reactions of people to this drama. But if given a chance it is not that bad. I like that the concept is not typically and wholly based on college themes. And the universe travelling and the association of for them it's a really new and refreshing idea. like the way, they put on some famous BL series dialogue and the guest appearances of characters. love the whole multiversal and port keys thing. The way they show only the one who has transferred to the universe by exchanging looks makes it easy to understand. the chemistry between Jimmy and Sea makes viewers fall in love with them and little cute banter brings butterflies. it will be even better if we got a chance to see the spinoff about tess and pakorn in another universe.
As last two episodes, I feel like they finished them hurriedly or it does not give a satisfying result as it feels somehow incomplete, it feels like they could do more.
I do agree some of the scenes do seems illogical ...but it's a series not everything must make sense. even the whole multiversal and port keys thing does not make any sense but that's why we watch series for. for something that doesn't make any sense but makes you laugh and wonder what happened if it was really true. if anyone wants to watch a series, drama soap opera that makes sense then they should watch the documentary.
Not gonna lie I watch it cause of Bad Buddy but I don't regret watching it and love it.

Uma história cheia de amor e cores
Eu comecei a assistir esse BL sem muita expectativa, pois não tinha visto falarem tanto dele. Mas já adianto dizendo que Vice Versa foi uma bela surpresa, que entregou bem mais do que eu esperava.Gostei bastante do plot, achei bem diferente e interessante. Entendi esse BL como tendo um plot de fantasia como plano de fundo, sendo a história principal o romance. Acho que isso desagradou algumas pessoas pois esperavam um maior desenvolvimento na questão dos universos, mas eu não me importei. Para mim, no fim a série conseguiu entregar o que prometeu.
O casal é lindo demais. Com certeza um dos meus casais favoritos. O relacionamento deles é saudável, fofo, a história dos dois é linda, e vê-los se apaixonando me causou uns 728182 surtos diferentes hahah. Eu gostei bastante da atuação dos protagonistas.
Além disso, achei maravilhosa a cinematografia desse BL. O que me surpreendeu na verdade, porque não tava esperando nada em relação a isso. As cenas, os cenários, as cores, tudo é tão bonito.
Por falar em cores, outro detalhe lindíssimo são os nomes dos episódios. Uma ideia genial nomear os episódios por cores, fazendo toda uma alusão à profissão do protagonista e também às emoções.
Apesar de ter gostado muito, claro que não achei o BL perfeito. Aqui não tiveram tantas coisas que me incomodaram, na verdade acho que uma principal que me incomodava mais no decorrer dos episódios:
A conveniência de roteiro. Isso aqui é algo que estou percebendo que é bem comum nos bl's tailandeses (não que não seja em outras produções). Principalmente quando se tratava das questões da criação dos filmes, acontecia cada coisa magicamente que me dava até nervoso kkkkk. Não que isso afete demais a história, mas eu acho um pouco irritante porque às vezes fica parecendo uma história boba demais.
Por fim, eu realmente adorei assistir esse BL, maratonei em menos de uma semana. Se tornou uma das melhores séries/dramas que assisti esse ano. Foi fofo, divertido e emocionante. Uma história linda mesmo, que deixa o seu coração quentinho e faz você querer se apaixonar, amar e ser amado. Lindo demais!!

Recommended to watch
Every bl series that I finish is a recommendation for many people to watch because I'm a kind of person that doesn't really like any series easily because many are not very good. I would say this series not my favorite but its recommend for who never watch it. I like the chemistry between these two main leads, this series are their first stepped to a main role lead. Next is on the acting/cast, which as I had said that they were new to acting main roles but they did a great job to really make us feel their emotion. Next is music, I like all the musics in this series, they really go into the tone and I like that both of the main cast sing it. Next is the story, overall it kind of good but not really what I really like, me personally I don't like series that people are just too in love and would kissed this many times, I just felt like its too sweet and it's too much. But others are great, it has an interesting plot. Overall is good to watch, recommended to someone to never watch it to try it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
We love a healthy couple.
I have a lot to say, OMG.Vice Versa has a very complicated plot, because of the storyline and many things happening, at first it's really hard to understand things, but that's not a real problem since even the characters were lost, so I am...
Fantasy it's not really easy to write, with a multiverse, it's more complicated. But I really like the way that this was organized because JittiRain and the screenwriters did a very good job. When I saw that it's the same screenwriting team from Bad Buddy, A Tale of Thousand Stars, and MSP... Makes sense! Their job is amazing. The fantasy part it's was well constructed. But what amazed me was the relationship construction.
About PuenTalay, because doesn't have stronger time indicators, you don't see the time passing in the series, until the characters mention it. And when you realize the time: They are a very slow-burn couple. But it's amazing because their relationship is very well developed. It's beautiful.
Their action was good! I think Sea (Talay) impressed me more than Jimmy (Puen), but they both did a good job! Their chemistry it's insane too, damn. And their kisses: they served.
The details were excellent too, the episodes with the color's names and everything on the episode based on the color were amazing and very smart. Cute, too.
Everything is good, and I will not go on a lower note bcs the series it's well done. But, it didn't amaze me SO MUCH. I really liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. Idk exactly why. My only little problem was with the open little details in the end, it's on purpose, but I personally don't like open things. But it's not a big deal.

disappointed
I had been hesitating for a while as to weather I should or should not start this series... and I guess I was correct to hesitatebecause this show was just so... boring.
First of all...I was hoping that we would get more interesting differences from the universes, they had such great opportunities to make it more interesting but it just fell flat... the differences of the universes were just so little and so... meaningless?? Like the counting, the birthday cake being cotton candy and beer being more expensive than wine. They also missed such a great opportunity to make Up's name in the other universe Down... cmon that would have been much better than Tup(at least in my opinion).
I had also hoped that we would get to see Ohm and Nanon a lot more that we actually did...
And that there would be a bigger focus on Tun and Tess... like... what were they doing for two whole years?! How would Tun who had never acted before be as good as Puen?! Just so disappointing to see. And how come Tun's and Tess friends and family who had known them their whole lives wouldn't question them acting COMPLETELY different than before??
I found myself so bored when watching the series and the endless ads did not help. Like 70% of the show is just ads.
This series is just a huge wasted potential and a very forgettable one at that. I feel like this show is more targeted towards straight cis women with their 'man' and 'woman' stereotypes.

Beautiful Romance Story
This was a great show. JimmySea are excellent actors and did a wonderful job playing there part. The show started of slow but got better throughout the episodes. I was surprised on how many famous Thai actors were in the show. I start screaming when I saw Gun and Perth lol. i I am need to watch BL shows but they have excellent chemistry between them. The show is worth watching. and I might rematch the show. There excellent actors shows in their new show Last Twilight. I am in love with that show.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Holy Product Placements Batman!
With a show that was literally all about product placements, it felt like the directors falsely advertised the series with the trailers. It took everything I had for me to finish this series in it's entirety.The plot in theory sounds great, as it's one of the few fantasy BLs that takes the two main characters , Talay and Puen and transports them to a parallel universe and into the bodies of Tess and Tun and....vice versa. The series then follows Talay and Puen through the trials and the tribulations that they experience in their new lives in this new universe and they team up and try to figure out how to get back to their own world. Sounds pretty interesting, right? WRONG! The series completely loses sight of this concept and plot, and instead what we get is this long, jumbled mess of a series filled with BLATANT product placements....and I mean blatant. They don't event try to be subtle about it. I am okay with product placements if it helps drive the story, but there was literally no point in dedicating 85% of the series to product placements.
The production quality of the show was great and there really were some stunning visuals, which leads me to believe it was a result of the money the director received from all of the product placements.?
I really wanted to like this series because I throughly enjoyed Bad Buddy, and the chemistry between Nanon and Ohm. When I found out they were going to be in this series and that I was going to get a chance to see that chemistry again, I definitely signed on to watch this....I was quickly disappointed to find out that they are literally on the show for like 5 seconds, and Jimmy and Sea's chemistry doesn't even compare and felt down right awkward at times. I am honestly not sure if it was the lack of chemistry or the writing that made it so hard to believe that these two individuals were in love. I believed that they cared deeply for each other and that they may even have had a bromance but I wasn't even slightly convinced they were more than friends until episode 11.
Honestly, the show started out pretty entertaining and funny, but quickly went downhill from there and completely derived from the plot.They should consider remaking this like the did with Love Mechanics because it has so much potential. The show does however, make for a good drinking game. ?? Every time there's a product placement, take a shot!

Surprisingly warm and beautiful pink
Did You cried big tears with Ae in "Love by chance 2"? Did You suffer from seeing the Mains in "Lovely writer" beeing apart ? Was it hurtful to watch "Miracle of the teddy bear"?Vice Versa is the medicine.
It's heartwarming and soothing.
I started to watch this with the expectation of an interesting SciFi plot. But this is just the frame for the really beautiful love story. One doesn't have faith in love, the other one tries to win his heart over. It's a sweet (sometimes literally), comfy and vanilla series. Easy to watch for beginners.
The series tells the story of two guys, which changed the universe because of their deaths. And their 2 years of longing and searching for a way back home. But it was never a painful waiting. They live the life of the guys in which bodies they transferred to the fullest to not disappoint the owners or ruin their careers.
I personally had to mention, Sea isn't my type of men, but his calm and wise aura and his beautiful smile, melted my heart. And Neo, the funniest character in so much series, plays another wonderful warmly and clearly funny character.
I also liked the cameos of other GMMTV Boys. That was always a little joy of reunion.
So, just give it a try =O)
