Me and Who, great chemistry and so many questions
This series left me with a really good impression and made me want to see more of these actors’ work in the future. You can tell they are getting better and better. The story was engaging and I honestly cannot say I was bored at any point. The pacing was good, and the actors did a great job. The plot twists were pretty standard and easy to predict, but still engaging and a breath of fresh air. The only thing that felt missing for me was world building. I was so invested in this series that it left me with a lot of questions.The main couple, Pho and Suriya, had really good chemistry. Their story was good, but personally it lacked their own perspectives. We got to see how they worked together and how they fell in love, but I wanted more of their inner thoughts about what was actually happening. Both of them seemed to adapt and move on pretty quickly. It would have been nice to see Pho actually struggle to accept the new reality, how it happened, where he is, and so on. Same with Suriya. This is also where the lack of world building shows. Is someone taking over another person’s body from another dimension normal? How many people have these abilities? Are there other abilities too?
Now the second couple’s dynamic was everything I was hoping for from the main couple. Tailah being confused about how Janjak could guess his mind, finding out about the mind reading, keeping distance at first, then slowly warming up and accepting it. The way Janjak carefully tried to be less threatening and not scare Tailah, and then them finally getting together. This was exactly what I needed from the main leads: the confusion, the figuring things out, and then the connection.
Their families were not very remarkable, more like typical drama families, but I really wanted to see more of Apo’s brother Ashin. Why was he wearing the protective necklace? How did he find out? What did he think about Suriya and his family in the beginning, and how did his opinion change by the end?
Now Yi. It was pretty obvious he was the bad guy. Even though his character was not shown much, he was portrayed very well. Not much else to say about him.
We did not get to know the real Apo that well, but in the end he seemed very different from how people described him. That was a nice touch, because we really do not fully know people, even when they are close to us.
And the monk. How and why did he even make Pho become Apo? Was it another chance for Pho? And what about the “happy” or “satisfied” ending for Apo? Did he get another life, another universe?
The most interesting part for me was right before Pho died, when he seemed to cross paths with Suriya from his original life. That felt really important, so I am curious why it was not explored more. Did Apo and Pho exchange bodies? Or did Pho die in his original life and Apo in his?
I had too many questions, but in the end the series still holds itself very well. It is entertaining, never boring, and the chemistry between family members, couples, and friends feels realistic, interesting, and nice to watch. The idea of another universe and mind reading powers is fresh and a really nice touch for this drama

A series of second chances at love and life.
Let me start by saying I really enjoyed the series It was fun and over the top. Love the chemistry and the characters. The storyline flow was fantastic The scenery was great The characters had great chemistry and I did enjoy that throughout the series you started to see the growth of all the characters. The address didn't fantastic job. I love a lot of the little twist and turns and how telepathy was used and the secret behind the amethyst stones that people wear. It was just enough drama to keep your entertained and enough fluff to make it cute. I will say I was very shocked by the twist of turns by the end of series.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute, Silly and Fun!
I went into this one absolutely blind, the only reason I added it to my watchlist, I liked the poster and Monster Next Door was a cute series.To my surprise it's fantasy! and my favorite kind at that,I was suddenly thrown into a parallel universe where people inexplicably have mind reading abilities, at no point is the lore explained nor it tried to make sense, and it's fun because I was just as disoriented as the Phopthorn was. The peacock gag was too funny and not used enough, when it stopped showing up I actually missed it and when it showed up again I laughed like a maniac.
The second couple doesn't have enough screen time they were really cute and more time should've been spent on them rather than stretch the barely there plot and of all the stupid villains, the villain in this story has got to be the stupidest I've ever seen like what was his plan?? Did he have one??! The story isn't perfect but I still loved how over the top, absurd and self aware this series was.

I personally really like it!
I've watched this 2 times now, the first time was during airing. I really like this series, although, I'm kinda done with the 'reality switching after accident' genre. I really like how they made this creative, with Suriya being able to read minds. I also really like how Suriya's feelings for Apo developed.Personally, I like the actors, I'm a big fan of them and I really like their bl's, I really hope they'll become the main in more bl's!!One of the things I disliked about this Bl is that the story went from place to place. At first he woke up and he acted wayyy to respectful, then he figures which body he's in and tries to act as sassy as he did before and then that whole part just.. get's forgotten? And what happened in his other life? I wish we saw at least a bit about it and now just a small description...
THE SIDE COUPLE OMG, I loved them so muchhh, they gen were the reason why I liked this bl so much, I just wished they had sooo much more scene's but that's of course just my opinion!!
Overall, definitely a recommendation!!

Truly wholesome captivating BL with everything in it!
Well, I just finished this series, and indeed, it grew upon me. At first I wasn't too sure whether I would like it. New life in another world, many comedic elements and in the beginning the other MC seemed a bit stoic.However, I was glad I stayed, and the more I watched it, the more this series grew unto me. To see Suriya slowly get out of his shell, to see Apo/Phopthorn grow to handle his part with some setback but growing to be the strong center was truly amazing to watch. What I really liked was, beside the many breathtaking sets, the truly wonderful music.
The drama with the various family members was interesting and keeping me wanting to "know what happens next" without ever getting into too dark areas where you might have really evil parents, as is in some other series.
And compared to the abysmal handling of divine powers in "My Little Ghost", this showed how to make proper use of Divine Intervention! At the end we got one of the most beautiful weddings and a truly happy end for everyone who deserved one. And a quick ride to hell for the one who didn't. *waves sarcastically goodbye*
The Apu/Phopthorn actor was surely the highlight of the series. A bit out of the usual looks, he really was the star of the series and managed to play both characters very convincing and carried the show through many moments. Not a moment of boredom, so I can easily rate it a fully recommended:
9/10

Don't underestimate this pairing!
This series was an unexpected win! I love this couple from their first drama - 'monster next door' where they were cute and timid together which was lovely. There is also that here but they ramp it up as their confidence as actors has grown. Its a lovely series with an engaging plot. I just expected something unserious and cute but got something very entertaining with some unexpected spice added in :D Their kisses are lovely and natural as well and it is very heartwarming.Was this review helpful to you?

Honestly, what’s not to love about this series? It’s a lighthearted romantic comedy that’s fun, engaging, and surprisingly deep on an emotional level. The unlucky Phopthorn gets into a serious accident and wakes up in the body of the arrogant, snobbish Apo Yue, heir to a billion-dollar empire who happens to be engaged to Suriya Suriyadechakorn, an aristocrat from a luxury hotel dynasty with the unusual ability to read minds. That mind-reading twist adds something fresh and unique to the story. I’ll admit, I was worried it might be used in a manipulative or invasive way against Phopthorn, but instead it became something that brought him and Suriya closer together, strengthening their bond.The cast as a whole is excellent, but Park Anantadej and Big Thanakorn completely steal the spotlight whenever they’re on screen. Park’s Phopthorn, with his sweet, gentle nature and kind personality, wins over everyone around him. On top of that, his comedic timing is spot-on. Big, as Suriya, nails the aristocratic posture and sharp tongue, yet surprises with a performance that’s unexpectedly tender, warm, and affectionate. The chemistry between the two really caught me off guard. It’s sweet, sexy, and genuinely believable, which makes both the characters and their romance feel authentic.
Special mention also goes to Poppy, Lookwa, and Parn, as well as the standout guest appearances from Keng and Namping.

A fantastic show that lacked some plot but in a good way fr fr
A phenomenal show, I can’t even lie. The plot gets boring in the middle, but then it picks back up for a fantastic ending. I would give it an 8.85, so a 9 out of 10. So I am gonna say what I like, what I didn't, and then an overall view.What I liked. The story and the plot. I love the fake dating trope more than anything. I can’t even lie, it's so good, but it is always done fucking terribly, but they stuck THEIR FOOT INTO THIS. The setup was great, with the car crash and the mind-reading, it was all so good. Speaking of the mind-reading, I think that was great. Having something that can stop the mind reading, it holds them back, and then the fact that it's genetic. GREAT. Also amazing chemistry from BigPark. Like they always have good chemistry, like in their TikToks and monster next door, but THIS WAS A NEW LEVEL. I don't know what training they did, but this was great. You can feel it from the start, and it's not too much or doesn't seem fake. I also liked the characters; besides Apos' brother, he made me so angry, I can't lie. I think everyone did a good job and really brought the show to life. Their sex scenes! Those were GAS. Oh my lord, especially with the mind-reading shit, I fear I am gonna need a special episode just for them doing that shit because that was crazyyyyyy. Especially at the endddd holy fuckkkk. It was the best thing ever. While I think our side couple had some flaws, they were still great with their awkward kissing. THE PARENTS. I love how they flipped from who was hating and who wasn't, because genuinely, that was so real. The dads' breakdown bit was also really good, and I enjoyed it a lot, I can't lie. The way it all came crashing down right when they were gonna get their happy ending felt so good, and I don't know why. Their loveless arranged marriage also broke me, oh my god, that was so real, and that's why the mom was so scared, because that's what happened to her. And the dad, just the thought of losing this woman he has grown to love broke him, and I love that. Another thing I liked was our villain, of course, not the way his story ended, that was bad, but all of his build-up, it was so fucking perfect I can't. The fact that he may have loved ya at one point, but the love was gone now, and all he wanted was money was FANTASTIC, and my husband did a great job with that. The happy facade slowly cracking off into this literal killing machine. THE REAL APO. Great acting on Parks' part because that felt like genuinely two different people, and he has genuinely gotten so much better at acting, so phenomenal job. Also, real apo character work was GREAT. Of course, he's still him, but he's changed, for someone that he actually loves beyond the superficial, just like Thorn loves Ya (Also, as I am rereading my review, I just realized they call him Ya because his name is SuriYA. I am so dumb). Very cute. I wish they had gone into that more, but then again, not his story lol. I think that might be it. The pacing at the end, I really enjoyed it, didn’t feel rushed. It felt genuine, like oh, it’s very suspenseful and very like oh my God, what’s gonna happen next, and I liked that. Also, something about this show was fucking addictive because I finished it on time, and I watched each episode every day it came out, besides the 9th one, because we had finals, but this had me sold.
Starting off with what I didn’t like. The plot towards the middle, specifically around the theme park part, felt like a very bad filler episode, and that kind of made me mad. Like, I feel like we could have put some more lore hinting that Yi was the evil guy, but no, we wanna go the fuck ass theme park, oh my lord, don't piss me off. Another thing I didn’t like was the side couple and their placement. It felt very random, and I can't lie that dynamic pissed me off towards the middle because he obviously fucking likes you, what's your problem? That felt like a waste of time and lowkey made me mad. I wish they did more with the real apo at the end. Like, I wish they showed him with his lover, showing that he actually moved on and not just saying that, but yeah, just a little bit more with that would’ve been good. I can't think of anything else right now, but there might be more. OH YES I CAN. The ending for our villain, terribly fucking way to go out. I hate that after all that, he died in a car accident. We should have had a final stand-off, or done something where he rots in jail and doesn't get let off easy. That just made me angry. Okay, that's it.
Overall time, I actually watched this show as it came out, so I am proud of myself. Okay, starting off this show was very embarrassing, lmao, and I was so happy to see BigPark again because they have such good chemistry, and I love them. Also, Keng and Namping cameo...I was very obsessed with this show and writing one sentence reviews lmao. I loved how Thaila was in love with him in this world, and then he was in love with him in the other world, very cute parallel. THE MIND READING SHIT GOT SO FREAKY SO FAST, AND I FUCKING LOVED IT. I love it when they put Big's hair down; he looks so fucking hot like that. "That's freaky on g. OH HELL NO. SURIYA GO HANDLE THIS BITCH." Idk what I was yapping about, but this is so funny lmao. They started to get really good at kissing lmao. Episode 6 was when their dynamic changed, and the show just started to get better. I like how they connect to the two worlds, very interesting. As the show started to end, we got more lore and background, and I enjoyed that. The more lore we got with the parents and everyone, just made the show so much better, I can't even lie. A great way to end off a fantastic fucking show.
I would recommend this 100 percent. I think while the plot gets a little boring towards the middle, it picks back up, and this is a fun and cute watch. Okay bye!

Worth the wait to binge watch it all!
I was so tempted into starting this one when it was airing! But! I knew that once I started it, it would be absolutely strenuous to have to wait for the next episode to be out! I've got to say it was absolutely worth the wait!Big and park delivers a little gem with this one! Fell so hard and so bad for this beauty ! Big is sooo big and awesome in his suit! He's a feast for the eyes!
His gentleness when handling Park is out of this world!
The connection & chemistry between them is astounding!
Loved it all! The acting, the plot and the pace was beautifully plan to deliver a little masterpiece right into my waiting lap!
Loved it so much that I had to do a review for it! I recommend it to all the romantics out there!

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! KYAAAAAAA I REPEAT THAT SO FXXXING BEAUTIFUL ?????
The only thing i hate about this drama is waiting for it every week😭😭😭. It started beautifully and ending beautifully. I did find ya's dad annoying but I'm happy ya and janjak didn't follow him and told their lovers about their mind reading powers while... the father didn't do it till the end. Poor lady she never knew her husband knew how she left but chose to ignore it and she suffered alone.I really loved park🤭🤭Especially as real apo sadly we didn’t get much of that diva. Also Tailah and Janjak ❤️❤️❤️ my shaylas🥺🥺🥺 i was like aww a cute couple tailah is definitely the bottom until we saw tailah top😳 n definitely didn't hate it🤭🤭 if u actually did notice he was top from the start. I just forgot i was wondering like he's a top in thorn's world how come he switched here. He didn't 🍻😌😌 and it made total sense. Like this is my theory. Apo who lives in Thorn's body got together with his friend Fa cz in the last episode he scolds thorn for having that food every week which means real apo still went to gave dinner with Fa.. so he might be his partner...
Or... thorn was actually hit by the hotel owner (big's back from ep 1) and he took him to the hospital and what happened here happens there they fell in love with each other but from different worlds.. well we'll never know🤣🤣 but atleast we know apo and thorn both got happy ending. Surya married someone he loved. Ashin got his brother. Janjak was finally successful in seducing tailah. Ya's mother found love in her marriage and apo's parents got a son who doesn't cause problems🤣🤣 and obviously the dog/shaman got to repay his debt to thorn for the food🤣🤣 that was soo unexpected and a reasonable explanation for the soul switch.

Feel-good vibes
This was such a nice feel-good drama. There are some hilarious moments in it which really stood out to me as well - Master Labubu/Delulu and his “rituals”, so many moments with Poppy as Butler Francois and his funny antics, to name a few. Poppy always manages to make his characters stand out and shine with his acting!This is the kind of drama where the misunderstandings/conflicts gets resolved quickly without being dragged out for too long. Both the main couple as well as the second couple are easy to root for.
I am giving it 10 stars for the sheer feel-good aspect of this. Does that mean this drama is perfect? Certainly not. But it is definitely going on my comfort watch list. High rewatch value for me as well.
