I totally agree. On paper the story is good but I don't like the directing. For such a story, it lacks subtlety and mystery. Everything is too fast and "in your face". They didn't even take time to introduce Talay and Puen's backgrounds. Who is Puen? He's an actor but what else? It's like they're so enamored with their concept they're throwing at us all the rules of the alternative universe but they forget to set the adequate tone and pace to appreciate the characters.

After 22 years of Kdrama I've been so annoyed with flashbacks these couple of years. My tolerance is so low I can drop a series just because of too much flashbacks.
And the "what happened 5 minutes ago" scenes are ok with moderation. This narrative choice was very popular in 90's-20's action and detective movies/series. It doesn't give me "wow factor" anymore but it's ok. However it become stale when it's done 2 or 3 times per episode!
I'm not saying this drama is bad. It just didn't meet my expectation and didn't hold my interest.

I don't know about OP but to me, their story is more interesting because it's an unrequited love and you wonder if Tess will eventually fall in love with Tun. It's pure BL fantasy lol.

I'm trying but I'm still not invested in what's going on...
I'm more interested in Tess & Tun: I guess they're each other portkeys and I wonder if they'll end up together. I would have loved to see that story.
Sea is very handsome and he's doing great so far. As for Jimmy, I hope he'll have more to do than being the handsome and mysterious guy... For now, I don't see the chemistry.

"The characters aren't well-drawn - that might be part of it. What is Talay's character? Can you put it words?"
This here is why I can't connect with the series. We don't know the characters, their backgrounds weren't established before they went to the alternative universe. So why shoud I care about them? I'm watching these characters constantly chatting about this and that but I'm not invested, they could be secondary characters it would be the same.

I don't trust him either lol. With the exception of SCOY, his work is the definition of "style over substance".

Totally agree with you. It seems all the pairings are real couples behind the scenes. In ToruFirst's storyline, Toru has a wife. This was the opportunity to show how the fans' behavior cause troubles to his marriage.
Or maybe delulu fans will be discussed through Talay and Muse' characters? They've been doing interviews with BillySeng but I don't know their storyline.

Don't you know ? The chief village is actually a muppet. Sincere is the real boss and Prince's husband. That's why the chief village had no choice but to obey him...

Your comment made me laugh. I agree there was no chemistry. The two were quite awkward together, but I think it came from Mark. He doesn't emote well, always the same facial expression. Poor Mek had nothing to work with lol.

Actually, they usually get their nickname from their parents. Once they're older they can change it, either because they don't like it or for work reasons.

He was done since ep. 1 😂

What the fck was that finale episode ?! Did they think they were making ATOTS? The conflict wasn't bad to justify Fah ghosting Prince for a month! It totally cheapened the love story. Why would Fah listen to Sincere ? Who the fck is Sincere?! Why Prince can't date a doctor? Is he a damsel in distress who need constant supervision? Ridiculous. He never did or said anything to make Fah believe he wasn't happy with him. And this whole confession during the school event was cringe asf.
Besides the rubbish script, I didn't care for Prince's characterization: he was portrayed as a young maiden incapable of expressing his interest in Fah and taking the lead in the relationship while expecting Fah to do all the work. If I wanted to see a MF story I could have watched something else...
The last 2 episodes completely sunk the series, which imo wasn't that good.

I only watched the queer episodes. Ep 6 "VS Love" with BoumPeak was the best : well-written script, good acting and good message .

Talay's friend wanted to see Puen at the airport because she's his fan but why did she bring Talay with her? What was the point if not to create the bathroom encounter? Same for Talay being asked by his friend to be an extra in Puen's movie. We're supposed to believe his friend had no other extras in the studio that day? Yeah, of course... It was coincidence after coincidence. In itself, it isn't bad and sometimes you need a coincidence to move the plot forward but it quite bothered in Vice Versa because it happened in a very short period of time (like the first 10min).

I see, it makes sense now. Thank you!

Thank you. I would have liked to see more characters background in ep1 in order to care about them... Let's hope they'll do it throughout the series, with flashbacks or heartfelt discussions between Talay and Puen).

I don't really get the story. Someone can explain? One guy's friends help him to confess to his crush but actually one of his friends is in love with him?

What didn't you like? Real question here. I didn't like it either and I thought everyone was satisfied with it.

Reliable? How is Ton not reliable?

Yes; this episode's theme was clearly desire.
