My wish is for more series starring these actors
I kept on putting this series off because I enjoyed watching Earth and Mix in A Tale of Thousand Stars, one of the best BL series out there and didn’t want to ruin the pleasure I had experiencing their chemistry and the amazing story-line. But then I allowed myself to binge watch this and well this ain’t ATOTS. I am not saying its bad but it doesn’t compare to ATOTS.
Body swap genre is nothing new. I, myself have seen 3 other series on this before but only 1 of them was strictly BL. The story is Korn and Win are best of friends from childhood but due to the death of Win’s father leaving a quarter of his dairy farm to Korn, it causes Win to suspect that Korn tried to dupe his father to get his wealth. He cuts all his ties with Korn and even forbids his family to contact Korn. However, one day when he finds his sister Lin doing business with Korn, he rushes to Korn dragging Lin along and meets with an accident. After waking up Win realises that he is trapped in Lin’s body and to save himself and his sister he has to gather holy water from 4 temples within 7 days. Thus starts the adventurous road trip of Win and Korn.
As usual Earth and Mix have done a great job in this series. Their chemistry is exceptionally good and they played their part well. Unlike his previous role in ATOTS, Mix had to be loud and obnoxious as well as caring and understanding. At first I thought, he wouldn’t be able to pull this off but was I happy to be wrong. Mix for me stole the show. Seeing him in ATOTS and Fish Upon the Sky, I am glad to say that he has improved his acting skills. Earth has not disappointed me so far in all the series that I have seen him in. The road trip although fun and has a lot of comedic moments, at the back of our mind we all know that time is limited and there is a high stake here. In addition, the story introduces 2 antagonists and I feel they have not been used well in the series. They could have impacted the story way more but they were designated as minor characters who take significant action almost at the end of the series with no consequences.
Body swap genre comes with its own set of difficulties. You usually need actors that can play the part of the other character in order to convince the audience that the souls have indeed switched. One of the series that does this well is “Kamisama no Ekohiiki” another BL series. In this one however, they made a smart choice of showing Mix most of the time in order to remind the audience that its Win in Lin’s body and Korn is always interacting with Win and also now they don’t have to worry about a female character acting all manly.
In conclusion, the series is worth giving a try because of its actors Earth and Mix and some good cinematography. You too are taken on a journey across Thailand and you see the caves and beaches and hills and food. Lots and Lots of food. Now I am waiting to see these actors grace my screen again with Moonlight Chicken
