Reverse 4 You Episode 3

Now we're talking! Romantic and gripping episode.

The episode starts strong with Jattawa trying to dissuade Four from causing bodily harm to Ten. She misinterprets her actions as being violent all the time which visibly hurts Four; casing her to leave alone. Jattawa feels bad about this, and it’s about to get worse, because while talking with Vivi, they detect that someone has sprayed Four’s sportcar with the exact quote that Ten insulted her with, and she realizes Ten lost a spraycan while arguing with Four. Now, she feels even worse…


Then, Vivi had a vision of some man in the shadows following her. She couldn’t identify the man, but the audience (who saw the series pilot) must be thinking: Is this the man who kills her? Jattawa is worried, instructing her to not go alone, especially to shady places like in her vision.


The next day, Jattawa tries to apologize to Four. She gets interrupted by a lawyer named Pak, being there to meet up with Four, and she vents out her jealousy; by the time she calls her her soulmate, I was sure that a reversal would be imminent. 😉


She’s not done venting, though, talking to herself while in class, which causes her friends – Khun and Top – not notice that she’s stressed, but she quickly pretends to be nervous about the university contest instead. Khun tries to assure her that she needn’t worry, but makes it sound like he’s interested in her. Curious …


Later, the sees Four going to the gym, apparently continuing her tiff with Ten; Jattawa rushed to her side, claiming to be a witness to the property damage. Kie tries to dissuade her, but Jattawa stands firm, questioning the volleyball incident in the course of this. Finally, Ten apologizes publicly, which is all Four wanted.


After this, they start a little bit I’d call “extremely awkward flirting” 😊 Four tries to ask out Jattawa on a date, but Jattawa needs to work, so she asks her to buy some groceries instead, and quickly leaves the scene, giving Four no time to reply. But Four’s not mad, not mad at all …


Later that night, Vivi encounters her “stalker” – which turns out to be their uncle who brought them their share of the house sale (which now is 500,000 Baht instead of 500,000 for each of the sisters – a continuity error?). I wonder if the gambling debt that his son caused will have anything to do with Vivi’s eventual demise, but at this point it’s just guessing.


The next day, the Jattawa’s motorcycle is repaired. Vivi wants a table that costs 2,500 Baht (roughly 70 USD) – that can only be a used one, right? Anyway, while they are talking, Four shows up, and Vivi and Four meet for the first time. Four “casually” complains that Jattawa hasn’t been on the rooftop lately; she’s also made good on the “promise” to buy her some high-quality groceries, leaving them in front of her door. Later that night, Jattawa tries to sneak out to the rooftop – but Vivi of course knows what’s going on.


Four and Jattawa meet up and get talking about the filing Four wants to make – it’s about her grandma, she’s starting to succumb to dementia. Also, there’s some inheritance issue which gets confusing/garbled in the translation; apparently, the grandma’s fortune shall go to her stepmother and his son – a half-brother, whom she knows isn’t related to her as there was a DNA test made. It’s all very confusing – and her dad can’t clear the mess up anymore, as he died five years ago (in a car accident). So, both Four and Jattawa have lost their parents.


Jattawa tries to assure her that it is her right to claim the inheritance, and Four gets romantic signals from this. She tries to blame the full moon, whom Jattawa wished she could pluck from the sky – which the next day, prompts Four to buy a moon globe light. She has previously asked Jattawa out on a date this night (by post-it note), but gets called away by Pak leaving her the light and another not, taking a rain check for their date. But the post-it note gets lost, and the one that gets actually attached to the sphere light is the one where Four wrote down the details of the Sushi Place where she’s about to meet Pak. She arrives there just in time to watch Pak give her flowers, and immediately leaves dejected, giving Four no time to clear up the confusion. Then, she gets called away by Khun, who want to meet up with her; meanwhile Four is meeting up with her _family_, and is clearly unhappy; eventually, she leaves, looking for Jattawa …


… who is getting serenaded by Khun, who is acting under the pretense that this is all four the uni contest. But Jattawa is not really into it - she wants Four. Meanwhile, Four inquires about Jattawa at Vivi’s, who instructs her to get to the university – before getting a vision of Four getting hit by a car. She immediately tries to warn Jattawa, but she is still being serenaded by Khun, who apparently actually tries to woo her. But all Jattawa can think about is Four – she stops Khun from spelling out his feelings, but both know what he was about to say. She reverses back to before the confession and quickly excuses herself before answering Vivi’s call and learning that Four is in danger. She runs out to the street and catches up with her …


… but can’t prevent a clearly speeding car from hitting her, injuring her badly, potentially fatally. And Jattawa has already used up her reversal powers for the day. What to do know?


I _really_ liked this episode, which was gripping and romantic pretty much from start to finish. Wa and Four’s flirting is so cute and awkward, we get to know Four a little better, and the cliffhanger at the end really want to the watch the next episode right away. Please continue with this pacing in the future “Reverse 4 You”, then I’ll be glued to Netflix for the next five Tuesdays. 😊
