it's got more to it
When I first saw the teaser trailer for "Vice Versa" at the GMMTV Expo, I couldn't help but think, "Another soul transfer plot? How overused." But after the brilliant "Bad Buddy," I was eager to see Ohm and Nanon again. When the official trailer dropped, I was convinced to give it a shot, and I also wanted to see how Jimmy and Sea would fare. I’m happy to say I did not regret it. The chemistry between Jimmy and Sea is palpable, and their acting skills are impressive.
Directed by X Nuttapong Mongkolsawas, "Vice Versa" stars Jimmy as Puen, who takes over the body of Pakorn/Tun, played by Nanon, and Sea as Talay, who takes over the body of Tess, played by Ohm. For most of the series, we follow them as they navigate the lives of Tun and Tess and their journey to return to their original bodies.
Talay is a talented new graduate who has just landed a job as a colorist. However, during a beach trip with his friends, he drowns and wakes up in an alternate universe, inhabiting the body of Tess, a spoiled rich kid. In the hospital, he meets a nurse from his own universe who explains the existence of two parallel universes and the need to find the "Portkey" to return home. Talay soon discovers that Tun, played by Puen, is also a transmigrated soul. As they work together to find their port keys, their bond strengthens. But what will happen when they return to their original universe? Will they recognize each other?
One of the highlights of the series is how Puen and Talay decide to make positive changes in the lives of Tess and Tun. In their original lives, Puen is a famous actor and Talay is a struggling colorist. When they take over Tess and Tun's bodies, they continue to work in the film industry—Tess's dad owns the biggest film production house, and Tun is a skilled scriptwriter. This continuity adds depth to the story.
Each episode is themed around a different color and title, staying true to the cinematic and production motif, which I found quite engaging. The gradual unraveling of the plot and the exploration of Puen and Talay's lives and struggles were well-executed and compelling.
A fun aspect of the show was guessing the cameo of the week, with many famous faces making guest appearances. Each episode also featured an enjoyable post-credit scene showcasing new Lay's flavors, adding a touch of light-heartedness.
"Vice Versa" brings a fresh twist to the BL genre with its soul-switching and parallel universe plot. It’s far from boring; the story is beautifully crafted. If you think you’ve seen it all in soul transfer dramas, this series will surprise you with its unique approach and heartfelt narrative.
