Skip the Thai version, watch the Japanese drama
I love fantasy and Sci-Fi themes revolving around time manipulation and parallel worlds so that is how I ended up deciding to watch this and I'm so glad I did! I have watched a few Japanese BLs and at most you get are a couple of kisses. I have yet to see one where the NC scenes are so hot. I even blushed a few times.
Both MLs are good looking and great actors. The older ML is serious, jealous/protective without going overboard, at times cold and warm with the one he loves. The younger ML is shy and soft spoken. They make a really good pair and their chemistry is fire! I have seen the Thai original and I couldn't even connect to them emotionally the way I did with these two in this drama.
There are many cases of poor direction in the Thai version and the Japanese version fixes all of them. Even the house layout is better in the Japanese drama. A lot of unnecessary moments were removed and majority of the drama focuses on the relationship of our leads. In the Thai drama, I found the younger ML's portrayal very childish and there is a point in ep2 where he climbs on top of the older ML just to look at his injury which is so silly and unnatural. Meanwhile in the Japanese version this moment is changed and shot is a much more natural way with the leads falling on one another during a tug of war over his laundry.
I must say that Ep1 was a bit confusing to me at first and couldn't understand what was going on but the show really got better from mid episode. From ep2 onwards I was hooked!
I enjoyed all the side characters, most of whom I ended up disliking in the Thai version. I like how they explained the mother's backstory and how they resolved the issues with her. A much better conclusion than the Thai drama which was AWFUL.
The OST is really nice and I like the opening theme song. I even enjoyed the older ML's singing.
The few things I disliked were the younger ML going back and forth with his feelings, no clarity on why his friend can read minds, and the boring trope of a mean girl trying to get with one of the leads. This is common to both versions.
There are 2 special episodes that add more depth to the story of the parallel timelines and include the future of the couple. It was quite fun to watch.
I don't understand why people are hating on the Japanese remake. I genuinely found it way better than the original and I would even suggest you skip the Thai version and just watch the Japanese drama.
