Big and Park, My Loves !
Anything with Big and Park in it, I will watch, regardless of quite literally anything. I was hyped when I saw they were coming back to me in this silly little rom-com turned mystery, and while my excitement was nothing compared to Monster Next Door, I still really enjoyed this.
Let's Dive In.
Big and Park bring us a fun story about universe traveling and mind-reading. Phopthorn gets hit by a car and wakes up in the hospital in the body of his universe- equivalent self, Apo, who is completely the opposite of him. There, he meets Suryia, the man he is meant to marry and the man that will ultimately help him in his journey of becoming Apo and getting their families to believe it is really him. This is a really silly, fun story. The beginning episodes are all setups to getting Phopthorn to becoming Apo, and it's gold.
Unfortunately, some way through, this becomes pretty dull for me. Once they start trying to dive into who hit Apo and what exactly happened, I'm less intrigued. I also would've loved this to be slightly more slow-burn, but I'm not too mad at what we got. Same with Suryia's family dynamic, it's good until it's not. His mom is comically evil and then we're meant to feel bad for her in the end, but I don't. The dad becomes evil along the way after he excuses Apo of changing his son. Either way, I don't care for either of them at all.
This was probably the best utilization of mind-reading that I've seen in a BL. I like that there's a tangible object that can intervene into their mind-reading and how essential it is to the plot. It's not just there as a cool thing the men in Suryia's family can do, but it's actually there for a reason.
Big and Park strike out of the park again with their chemistry. I think I felt it more in Monster Next Door, but these two play complete opposite to their characters in this, and it's noticeable. There's no one doing it like them right now, dynamic-wise, size-wise. They are the perfect combo, and I love them so very much.
I'm not entirely sold on the side couple. I don't hate them, I grow on them eventually, but they're okay.
There are some scenes were they blackout and then put the spotlight on the character that Suryia is reading the mind of. They only do it a couple of times, but it's really unique, I wish they did it more often.
There is something that is missing from this series. I can't pinpoint it, but there was something that didn't click with me, especially the closer we get to the end. However, I think this still was decent, and I got to see Big top Park like a dog with a bone, I am satisfied!
Ratings:
Story: 8/10 - Beginning was stellar. Fell off a little at the end. BigPark are great in this. Side couple is meh.
Acting: 9/10 - Big's had mostly just one facial expression which was kind of annoying, but it's not so bad. Park did good playing both roles.
Music: 6/10 - I don't remember so it wasn't distracting. Good.
Recommendation Value: 8/10 - This is cute, go for it. It's also a very fun plot that we haven't really seen this year, and it's told decently. Plus, Big is shirtless just the right amount of times.
