Still, I have to admit that the show pulled me in. The idea of Joe dying and waking up in another person’s body is really unique. It made me think a lot about what could happen to love when someone changes like that? The story shows how love can be confusing and painful, especially when one person is toxic. Joe is kind and innocent and stupid and dumb and crazy and blunt (IDK any other words that could describe his character), and Ming is controlling and full of guilt. Even though the story is dark and messy, it kept me watching. It’s not a sweet love story but it’s about heartbreak, second chances, and learning what real love should look like.
I cried, got angry, and felt stupid multiple times. I know it’s impossible to find someone like Joe, but I believe there’s someone out there just as stupid as he is.

What a great couple, they make the plot better
Some toxic couple leads the protagonist to his own tragic death, but the destiny decides to give him another life chance at a reincarnation. Could be to deliver revenge? to fix the toxic relationship? or to find the full truth about his own death?Besides the toxicity relationship along the series, the actors worked with such great chemistry and the plot even when some details are missing, we can really enjoy a fantasy plot with such deep emotions about death, second chances, mother's love, and more.
Prepare yourself for a lot of angry moments, a real sadly touching moments but also great mystery during the series as the reincarnated one wants to recover his older life that is not longer for himself in that new body.
One of the top most-watched series of 2024, I cannot say this is a must-watch because I miss so many holes in the plot about reincarnation, but the production, acting and the development of the story does compensate a lot about the plot issues.

i’ve just finished watching this like two minutes ago and all i can say is that this was WOW. i usually give bls 8-9 ratings, but this one out here impressed me !!the plot was verrryy interesting, but the last episode felt like everything was too good… to finish this was to at least make some bad things happen too, idk for example tong and may breakup? something like that, but overall its this very good:)
the acting was AWESOME i was sooo into the scenes… ming’s crying and “pi joe!” gave me goosebumps frr !! hes so talented… he deserves more recognition.

Great series!!!!!!
Hooked from the first episode till now! One of the better BL series that have come out this year (so far)Both Poom and Up are doing a great job in this series. Loving the cast and storyline. It's unexpexted and finally something different.
And fifty minutes of watching Poom is amazing!! His performance in Bake me please was great, but his acting in the last episode was spoton!!
Can't wait for next weeks episode!

Confusing at first but incredible acting.
I wasn't planning to watch it at first but then i followed the mass.I'm gonna be honest the first few episodes were kind of confusing to me but once i got the hang of the plot then i started to get invested in the characters.
The story is something i've never seen before in bl and the way they executed it was quite good, it could have been better for some parts but overall this was enjoyable.
Joe is an absolute sweetheart, i couldn't help but feel bad for him literally every second of this damn show. I have no idea if Poom is a new actor or not but his performance was pretty impressive.
I still don't like Ming and i had a really hard time believing in his redemption arc or whatever they tried with his character.
Tong was despicable and i hate HATE that he got an happy ending.
Everybody was so good but i have to give it up to the main leads for their incredible and believable performances.
The music wasn't noticeable to me and i dont think this is a show i would rewatch. I feel that once you know the twists and turns they gave us every week it's not interesting to watch this again.
Overall this show was a nice surprise, i wasn't expecting anything from it but everyone did a great job. I don't agree with some people calling it the best show from 2024, there's a few that i'm enjoying way more but this was a great project nonetheless.

joe deserves so much love
Thirty years ago, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn's life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential crime bosses in Bangkok. At first, Korn pushed Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn't resist the boy who was so full of life, his exact opposite.However, their love was star-crossed in a time when homosexuality was unacceptable. Amidst mounting chaos in their lives, Intouch kept fighting for their future, but Korn could not deal with all the suffering and decided to give up. That day, the sounds of two gunshots rang through the air. Though their story ended in tragedy, something had tied itself between them and kept them bound even beyond death.
Years later, nineteen-year-old Pharm returns to Thailand as a freshman at T- University. Riddled with sad dreams that wake him with a wet face, plagued with a fear of loud noises, and bearing a birthmark on his temple, the boy has always had a sense that he was missing someone. Twenty-one-year-old Dean is a third-year student and the swimming club's president at T- University. He, too, has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember.
The red thread of fate that had tied them together in their past life pulls the two boys together once again, tying them to each other and to a past that might not be worth remembering. The red thread that binds their two hearts together will always lead one back to the other; it may tangle and stretch, but it will never break.

THIS IS WHAT WE LOOKING FOR IN 2024!
This BL captivating my heart especially after I saw episode 1. The acting is on point and it the only BL that I can't wait for 7 days just to watch another episode. I am a BL fan since 2018 that is why when I watch a BL I always dropped the series if the further episode is not good and captivating for me if it boring on the first episode i usually don't on the next episode. But this series gives back my energy when watching a BL series. Overall, the cast, acting, plot is so good. Highly recommended. Please refrain from my English thank you!Was this review helpful to you?

It was interesting but with further episodes I got bored
First of all, Joe needs therapy because Ming was using him as a replacement of Tong which was beyond infuriating. Also, I hoped for a revenge plot where Joe would make the ones suffer who indirectly killed him.Ming was unlikeable, atrocious, narcissist and selfish. Ik his character is meant to be like that but atleast the writers could've gave him a redemption arc. Either ways the actor did a fantastic job with portraying Ming because he literally made my blood boil whenever his presence was on screen.
Regarding the side characters Sol's presence felt like nothing and the relationship between him and Joe was unnecessary.
What I liked about the drama was:
• chemistry between the lead actors
• ming's acting skills ( idk the actors' name)
• joe's visuals
• plot ( it was weak in the 2nd half)
In conclusion, the show got boring in the second half and I ended up skipping half of the scenes in order to finish it.

My stand in review
It’s good the story is good when Joe fell and woke up I thot he survived but the it showed another face. When it showed 3 years ago the backstory of joeming is good but it got confusing when it got deeper I had thought it went back but it didn’t so I’ll say it’s good but I need to watch more to figure out if I like it or notPs. I watched it on kisskh if wondering

Absolutely worth it ✨️
This bl series has been my favourite since it aired. And I'm so glad I picked it up while it was airing... The hype was ecstatic. It's kinda died down a little, now... but I still love it just the same.Trust me, you won't see a bl drama like this again. This is the ultimate bl... All the emotions portrayed in it- I'm not adept enough to put it into words. It's that ✨️ good ✨️
I'd go as far as to say that this bl series made me believe in a better life and have hope for the future, again. I was lost and wandering... And around this time, had My Stand-In not aired, I would be a completely different person, today. I owe it to this bl series for making me hopeful and happy. I loved my new-founded happiness.
Yes, I cried a lot... but in the end, it was worth it. I strongly believe that this bl kick-started the bl industry for a second time, and gave it a new start. 🏆️💯
If you never came around to watching it, I'm honestly very sorry for you. Because you're missing out on the bl series - not of the year, but - of the decade. Watch it while you're still able to... Life gone without watching this bl is a life made wretched. 🙏

It’s a great watch
I loved the series and binge watched it in a day 😏From the beginning it was interesting and there’s character development in Ming which is actually surprising
I’ve started this drama when someone said that it has toxic top
But I don’t think entirely that he’s that toxic cause I believe he’s just scared of being left alone by his loved one or don’t know how to actually love someone
I would seriously love love it if the soul had been in the same body (god he’s so hot )
Both actors really slayed the role
Jealously yes
Claiming you type yes
Possessive yes
Joe learning his lesson no 😂😂 he still wants Ming and that’s lovely
Please watch it if you loved dark romance ❤️🔥

ups and downs. you will love it
The reviews were t great, but I am still drawn into the drama. Yes the relationship is toxic and someone needs to establish respect and boundaries, but like others said it is similar to real life on occasions.The actors do a great job and the storyline make me want to see the next episode.
The “pseudo realistic incarnation” is a novel idea from the dramas have watched so far. They did it will in my opinion.
This is definitely a drama to watch. I enjoyed and was caught up in the story.
