Whoever my opposite soul twin is, this show was absolutely meant for them.
Phopthorn unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Apo, who is chaotic and hopelessly in love with Suriya. What starts as a sham-marriage plan somehow turns into a low-stakes romance. Sounds fun, right? I thought so too.
I went in expecting a silly, goofy, shenanigan-filled good time. And while it tried its best, the entertainment value was… let’s say politely modest.
Okay, first of all, I’m sorry. My previous show was amazing, and I fear this one had the misfortune of following it. So really, there’s nothing terribly wrong with this series. It’s just that nothing about it felt groundbreaking or new. It’s the narrative equivalent of déjà vu: familiar, harmless, and not particularly memorable. It was okay—perfectly okay—and unfortunately, that was also the problem.
I did find it sweet, truly, but I kept waiting for something—anything—to happen outside of the romance. I waited… and waited… … and waiting.
I knew it would be low stakes, but I wasn’t prepared for how shallow some of the characters felt. A few were delightfully silly, some were mildly annoying, and others lived in a dimension where realism clearly took a sabbatical. I wasn’t sure whether to take the story seriously or not, but then the occasional serious moments and emotions tried to ground the series in a bit of reality—for better or for worse
That said, I did enjoy the romance between Apo and Suriya—they were so sweet I practically got cavities from it. Tailah and Janjak were charming additions and kept things lively, but I needed just a little more conflict and a bit more spark.
If you’re looking for a romance with low stakes, low tension, and a gentle, cozy vibe, this might be exactly what you need!
