I know it was inevitable that we’d come to the plot of Shin choosing to stay in town for university or go to Tokyo, i think he’ll most definitely go to Tokyo - I just hope we get a time skip or a long distance relationship- just anything that’s not the sad ending of Shin and Akira going their separate ways!
there are several things about this drama that consistently annoy me: I am still wishing we could’ve seen the leads exploring and learning about the new universe together and seeing them slowly grow to understand the people who’s lives their living as well as the friends and family of those people - it’s an alternate universe, but they seem to have adjusted immediately and treat Tun and Tess’s friends like they’ve been friends for years. And I don’t really see the point of it being set in an alternate universe, especially when the world building is so poor, but all that being said - after my expectations were so low due to really disliking ep1 & 2, I actually enjoyed a lot of ep3! I still think their chemistry is lacking, the editing is strange and the direction of the story is annoying, BUT I feel like Sea’s acting finally worked for me in this episode and I finally understand what they’re going for with his character and I really liked the friend group scenes (this could be the second bl series Neo saves just by being the best - I’m looking at you ThonhonChonlatee) I’m looking forward to seeing the group spend more time together and wishing we could see more of Boom (but that’s just because I think Boom is gorgeous hehe) but I did like quite a few of Jimmy and Seas scenes too - they have cute moments - they’ll never be a pillar of GMMTV but I finally think they’re able to lead an easily watchable series.
this is my first ever Japanese BL that I’m really struggling to like - I wish so many things were slightly changed and I think they’d make it a brilliant drama but as it is I’m bored and a bit confused. Naito is very charming, but I do not like the character of Kaneda, I don’t really understand what he thinks is going in on or what he’s feeling. I will watch this till the end though cause I’m convinced at some point I’ll start to love it!
As a BL fan for 6 years now I know that when 2 people fall on top of each other (whether they like or hate each other) they will kiss. How is this the one drama where they are about to kiss and falling on top of each other is what STOPS the kiss. This is breaking all of the BL laws but I am still so in love and obsessed!
weirdly the first 4 episodes didn’t really work for me, up but after episode 5 I’ve become completely hooked - I think it might be better as a binge drama, because I was initially struggling to get through episodes and now I’m struggling to put it dow!
can we please get a season 2 which is ohm and nanons story in our universe!? I know it won’t happen, but IMAGINE!!! Ohm as the rich party boy who for the first time starts trying to find something he’s passionate about in life. Nanon as the super famous actor. They start falling in love not realising they knew each other in their universe. Nanon thinking he’s getting over his long time crush but really his just falling in love with the same person all over again!!! This is the story I want!
I’m surprisingly really quite excited for this and I’m a picky bl watcher. I don’t know why it looks so good to me, but fingers crossed I’m right to be excited about it!
I enjoy parts of the series, but I’m not loving it yet and some bits I find a bit confusing and weird. Also (this might be controversial but personally) I’m not sure if they should’ve cast OhmNanon in this…I love ohm and Nanon separately and together (Bad Buddy is my comfort show) and in my opinion Ohm and Nanon have some of the best on screen chemistry in all of gmmtv. So having them in first 2 episodes was great and they brought so much chemistry to their scenes, but personally I feel that now Jimmy and Sea have taken their place as the leads their chemistry pales in comparison to OhmNanons. I get that they’re a new pairing and so it’ll take time to see their chemistry develop, but that’s why I think their casting was a mistake, I feel like if they cast a less established pairing would make Jimmy and Seas new chemistry less noticeable. And also this is completely a me problem but I found myself looking forward more to Ohm and Nanons scenes than Seas…sorry! I almost want to see Tess and Tuns story before the switch a little more than this one. Also the numerous BL call-outs are fun, but take me out of the drama (so far we’ve had Bad Buddy, Enchanté, 2gether and Sotus). I just was them to make Vice Versa be the best BL and not just them bringing up the fandoms old favourites to make us like it. this sounds way harsher than I meant I just really want to love it and I’m trying to understand why I dont!
why did I think finishing this at 2am when I have work in 5hrs was a good idea?! I can’t believe it’s over after all that waiting! I only held off on watching the last episode till now! I didn’t want to say goodbye to these characters yet, but I’ll just keep rewatching!
In need of another laugh out loud romcom BL while I'm waiting for new episodes. Can someone offer me some recommendations…
I'd recommend Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai - it only came out last month. It's not always laugh out loud funny, but some moments had me howling, it's mainly just a very cute and simple Japanese BL, only 4 episodes.
i really hope this doesn't come across as hate but whatever; how the fuck do you compare this to kp? just because…
My comment was meant in a tongue in cheek way. The BL industry has mostly the same fans, the genre doesn’t matter because BL has become its own genre - most of the fans in this comment section are here from KP or have bad buddy profile pics, none of these series have anything in common other than being BL - yes it’s weird it’s a genre but LGBT audiences like to watch LGBT stories. I was more pointing out that GMMTV has never really had a competitor as big as KP before - GMMTV has completely dominated the BL market for years and have produced the majority of the biggest shows in the industry (other than TharnType and a couple other examples) But KP is this gargantuan of series, with such global success. it’s fun that GMMTV has competitors like this , it means the standards of these shows is increasing and GMMTV is trying new exciting projects like Vice Versa. But the BL industry is still kind of small and everyone wants to have the most talked about BL series and no one could stand up against KP, but KP has also increased BL fans expectations which is why I think GMMTV is airing their highest budget BL series right after KP ends and when everyone is desperate for more - it’s a great business plan and it’s clear it’ll be the next BL everyone is talking about. Anyway as an LGBT person who had to seriously hunt for shows to see characters like myself represented when I was younger I’m so happy the asian BL market is growing to have such an extensive and varied catalogue :)
anyone else think it was a strategic move for them to release this as soon as KP ends - they knew it couldn’t be bigger than KP but also that we’d be desperate for a new BL when KP ends.
This drama deserves so much more hype! I was completely sold after just episode 1 but episode 2 comes along and it’s even better!? it’s crazy how quickly this drama has become my new obsession - It’s so good I just bought a Gagaoolala subscription for the first time! and you can tell the director of cherry magic is involved, because it’s just such high quality!
I finally went and watched episode 13 and oh my goodness I think vegas and Pete have actually broken my heart. the tension was insane, I was literally holding my breath throughout their scenes. when waiting for this series to come out I really didn’t think I was gonna like Vegaspetes story, but I’m 100% trash for them - they own me!
I’ve never seen a haircut change someone’s appearance so much. He’s basically unrecognisable when watching him in Kieta Hatsukoi and then Minatos Laundromat.
