Two Worlds

Could Have Been So Much Better

Frankly, it is irrelevant how many worlds this series had; even a half a dozen more would not have helped. It is just awful. I am sorry to say that as I so wanted to like this drama. However, this is again going to be one of those series that if you are a fan of the two leads (which I really am), you will perhaps enjoy this series. I tried, but for me the whole thing fell apart at the beginning- from the banal screenplay to production issues to vapid acting. All of it was just plain mediocre to subpar.

The storyline was a good one, initially. I love transcendental legends, and this had all the earmarks of a great fantasy. The supernatural power of the Moon Shadow Waterfall is both miraculous and metaphysical. It can transport you to a parallel world where your loved one who died is not dead in that world but lives a conforming life. They are not resurrected by the same person in a parallel world. A worthy premise.

A Parallel Love Full of Pain and Fate ?❤️

This series pulls you right into an emotional rollercoaster between two timelines, two Krams, and one unforgettable love. The premise is wild—in one world, Phupha is gone and Kram mourns deeply. Suddenly, he’s thrown into a parallel universe where another Kram had once loved Thai, only to die at the hands of Thai's own father. 😭💔

When Thai sees “Kram” again on that road, the shock, confusion, and heartbreak in his eyes were everything. The tension, longing, and mystery had me on edge every episode. Thai and Kram's chemistry is 🔥 and the emotions are so raw and layered.

✨ I loved seeing Gun (from Unforgotten Night) finally take the spotlight as Phupha—so manly, handsome, and just giving daddy vibes all the way 😍. Mas and Nat are fantastic as Thai and Kram—great casting, emotional depth, and strong screen presence. Also, it was my first time watching Pak and Mon as the second couple and their chemistry is insane! 🫠💘

💋 All the NC/loving scenes were beautifully shot—so passionate yet intimate. And the forest and water scenes were stunning. I love how it’s set away from the busy city—very atmospheric and dreamlike.

🌀 The only reason I didn’t give it a 10/10 is because the two parallel worlds were a bit confusing at times. I might need to rewatch certain parts to fully understand the plot. But overall, I really enjoyed this BL. Deep, mysterious, and full of raw emotion.

IMPERFECT BUT BREATHTAKING AND HARD TO MOVE ON TO

The Drama was actually not a waste of time, there was a quality and depth about this drama, it was unique that we can no longer see a leads wearing engineering uniforms or super rich male leads , the characters here are just a simple humans and a son of a gangster which actually can happen in real life
Some parts of this drama is not convincing, specially in the parts where there was hostages , the actions and acting of some characters are not really reaching to the point of what should the reaction be in those kind of situation, but as a whole the message was delivered well and understood and it was great
The Story was quite not easy to understand as a whole, you will really need to read every lines and understand every situation to understand the story but it was direct, no minutes of this drama is wasted, every thing was maximized, there was no idle moments or scenes.
The Acting of Max and Nat was excellent , I am really a fan of them , they improved a lot as time goes on , we can really see how comfortable they are with each other, they almost looked like a real lovers and their scenes together can be felt as you watch them.
The story is very Unique, I really hope there can be a real another world where we can meet the people we love that has died in our world, that probably still living in another world just like Kram , he was actually wanting to save Phupa his lover on his world in the other world but as he do that he found P'Tai ,, P'Tai was strong and manly but a very gentle man, it was like when Kram got sick Tai of another world saved him using the rare fruit and so he is able to live again , I was just wondering why does he had to go back to his own world where he has found his love and a good life in an other world where in the end they both went back to P'Tai's world, Anyways maybe it was to show that he have nothing more to get back with in his own world , only he had left his father, he could've just went back with father also right? I also was always looking forward for Joe And Wayu , they were so cute, and was actually happy they are getting married . The story was confusing at first but it was very romantic, I was actually glad about the making love part , you can really feel the love not lust. The last part was a bit rushed , I really do hope it could be like 12 or 14 episode because things have gotten interesting as the story unfolds and so many questions not yet answered. I really also love the ending they just lived peacefully and happy and 10 years has passed.
I would definitely re watch this one properly one day .. I regret I did not watched it properly because of my busy schedule , but this is such a worth to watch, it had the same vibes as the ATOTS and if I will be asked I think I will be choosing this one than of ATOTS , also they seems to have almost the same them song. I can agree with what the reviews here are saying--that This so far was the best drama of MaxNat. I actually enjoyed it, After i watched this, I got the feeling of when After watched Cherry Magic Thailand, it is that I do not want to watch other dramas for the mean time like I cannot move on right away , and for me that what makes a drama good as a drama fanatic . The OST might be my playlist for the whole week. The scenes are breathtaking and so romantic not perfect but I like it, See you again P'Tai and Kram and Joe adn Wayu

Better than Naughty Babe

Pros:
* No CGI tiger (jk there is one lmao, but it's not as cringe)
* Nat's acting improved (a little)
* Interesting plot/premise
* Drastically better (in my opinion) than Naughty Babe
* The set and music were pretty nice

Cons:
* Max still seems stuck with the same tone and facial expressions
* Again, Nat's acting only improved a little
* Got a little fuzzy in the execution and definitely had some slow parts

Overall worth watching if you like MaxNat, maybe if you don't know them. if you don't care for them then I doubt this will impress you. I do give it major points for creativity and a little action between Nat and someone who isn't Max.

Wow, acting was outstanding

The story was not that hard to follow as some reviews suggest and it is explains where his dad went. But in saying that sometimes I did get lost. But very interesting story but after episode 7 they could have finished maybe 8 because you wanted the two side characters together.

But why I liked it so much was because of the acting, all actors nailed it. They were all great from the blind mother to the bad guys.

Nat who played Kram, wow he was amazing for such a young actor, he nailed it and the kissing and sex scenes were so believable. Nat really did a great job and crying scenes were mostly real, Max is a solid actor but could smile more. Gun is a bit stiff he needs to relax more.
Loved Pak and Wayu so cute. Plak is a scary looking guy, definitely a great gangster. Loved the young kids.

Rewatch value is low as I never rewatch anything.

Loved Nat in his other series.

Quality

The first annoyance was the music. It was tinny and at times out of tune. It was played at every opportunity. Sorry but that's my opinion. The series was a muddle and absurd. I lost track at times as there was so much toing and froing
I couldn't make out who was jumping in the water and who was getting out.I didn't think that Max and Nat were a good match at all as Max looked really mature.. Nat looked more boyish.. I think in some of the bls showing your chest and your abs to some is enough but I've seen enough bare chests to last me a lifetime.
All in all I did watch it till the end through all the confusion. The actors did their best with a script that really wasnt up to the mark.

Much improvement from Max and Nat

While I don't dislike the pairing of Max and Nat, their acting always felt "off" for me.. it's hard to explain exactly. Sometimes I felt like the chemistry wasn't really there or they just needed some polishing up. Since they'd been around for a while, I would expect "more" from them. But they weren't ever terrible and still very enjoyable to watch overall.

They definitely showed improvement here, in all aspects. Their individual acting as well as acting together was very good. There were only a couple of instances where I thought "Oop, there's the Max and Nat I remember" but I would say 90% of the time, it was much more refined and "grown up," if that makes sense. I don't mean grown up as in NC content, just in the way they have matured in their own acting and being comfortable in their own skin and opposite other actors.

Going into this series, I was really exited to see Gun again because I loved him in Unforgotten Night but thought his character there had a weak story arc and he, as an actor, got short changed to be able to showcase his actual talent. He certainly had the deserved screen time and storyline here in Two Worlds. He may have been in this weird main/side character role creating a love triangle that wasn't actually a love triangle, but it all worked and he pulled off the struggle and two world personalities well. (Although his was one character that wasn't much different in either world, it was more the situations that were changed because of how Max's character was different in each world.)

Speaking of the storyline.. it was really well thought out and executed in a way that made sense, even with its complexity. I was afraid that when there are alternate universes and different versions of the same people, it might get confusing but everything was very clear throughout the entire series.

This was another series where I wish the side couple had more screen time and overall effort put into their development. They had a friends to enemies to lovers arc that was interesting but never truly explored properly. All of their scenes together felt like an afterthought as if the editor was like "Oh yeah, we should probably move this couple along" after one or both of them were on screen with the main couple or other characters. I don't know if there are plans for a spin off for them but they certainly had potential that unfortunately wasn't utilized. Even so, when they finally got together, it was so satisfying. But once they did, we literally never see them again. I don't even know if they can be considered a side couple or if they were just there for fan service, at this point.

One of the most interesting aspects of this show was the fact that the entire chain of events in both universe timelines were all dependent on whether Thai decided to follow in his father's footsteps or if he followed his heart and more true nature. It was interesting to see that idea of how one person's choice could effect so many other lives.

I was very impressed with this series and am surprised I don't hear more people talking about it. I thought it was very good all around and I would definitely watch it again or recommend it to others.

Ten Worlds Wouldn't Help Here

The storyline was a good one, initially. I love transcendental legends, and this had all the earmarks of a great fantasy. his series was not well produced. The translations sometimes were hard to follow the actions and felt awkward. There were a lot of major glitches in the editing itself.

Beautiful but lacking substance

Our MaxNat have returned and take on a fantasy time jump theme. This line would make any serious BL-fan salivate and so it did. And it's a good watch. Max and Nat are improving their acting every next show, and there's not a lot to criticize, apart from the mannerisms of mostly Nat. What I do criticize is acting of the supporting cast (awful) and the lack of screentime for the second couple. I would've liked to see them interact more after that night in the cabin, but alas. The main lovestory is meant to be an epic one spanning dimensions. Unfortunately, while the love is certainly there, the whole epic-ness is underwhelming. This is mainly due to sloppy writing. The story is second to almost everything else. I was more impressed with some of the scenery (beautiful trees and caves).
This means that although acting, background and theme are great, it falls a bit flat because it lacks the substance of a real epic tale that fits all that.

Special note for the NC scenes. These are amazing. I would even say epic. And also note the kissing.. Especially TaiKram and how that's different from PhuphaKram.

I was like... Hold on!!!

I love fantasy n sci-fi, that's why i was giving it a shot. I started with no expectation, coz i kinda feel that it would be lame. And it was a little lame for me, sorry.
The story is interesting, however some are a little bit silly with no logic. What popped out in my mind is the berry! Like... Oh my, you're going that far only for a single berry? Why dont you grab a lot more; in case he relapse.
And when Aunt Lhu said 2 of same name people couldn't be in the same world, then they proceed to qill Tai in this world so Tai from other world could exist. And when she said she met herself in other world, why don't she die? 😅 (i know she got somekind of power, but okay..)

For the couple:
Since I didn't know the official pairing, I thought PhupaxKram is the pairing. I think they got a lot more chemistry than the main. Tai is gorgeous, but PhupaxKram chemistry got me hooked. Feel free to disagree.
Also the 2nd couple just go straigth there after confessing is hella WILD. I didnt know it would be that revealing lol

The acting&characters :
Some are good, some are bearable. Kram's acting is good, he reminds me of Plan's character in Love By Chance (silly, soft hearted, naive) but with smoother acting.

Overall, it's quite worth watching. Just dont bring that much logic in it when youre watching. Sometimes i couldn't help but complaining "demn, that's so silly. You should blabla"
