The last episode of PS I Hate You put me through it, so time to bingewatch some cute romcom. The Discord says it’s fluffy and sugary, so maybe it’ll help my get over my PSIHY/Wanwan ails.

Episode 1 (Sep 28)

Ocean Blue. I like that this show has episode names, can’t remember other BLs that have them (update: Theory of Love had those movie titles as episode names. VV and ToL have the same director)

I have an orange filter on my laptop but I think I’ll watch on my ipad because colouring seems important in this show (i don’t have adblock on there tho so this is terrible)

1-1

I love celeb/non-celeb trope so much but very few shows even involving celebrities deal with that and this one isn’t one of them 

none of these guys ever wash their hands after peeing T.T not even if it’s them meeting their love interest for the first time

I’ve seen this bathroom meeting clip, it’s adorable

just some casual drowning in ep 1 part 1

Tess’ mom is funny lol

1-2

dang bruh she’s been here for 8 years?

oh we got the ForceBook cameo + the 2gether line reference

okay it’s the association for Thai people in the alternate world, so I guess this switching only happens in the same country?

1-3

oh the head of the association is Joob? I know she dies

ooh, okay they’ll be able to dream once they meet Their Person and it’ll be of a place that they have to go to

This is cute/funny so far but I kinda want either OhmNanon or Jimmy’s character to show up already (interesting because usually I love the world building and MC interacting with people who aren’t love interest. I think I’m just in the mood for cute adorable fluff rn)

Pakorn called an ambulance to help Tess, idk why I thought this was a theory for ep 2 from a tiktok I saw but it’s pretty clearly shown lol

1-4

hehe this scene of Tun evading Tess is funny despite already having seen it in tiktoks. [fave scene]

interesting to hear Sea’s voice followed by Ohm’s voice bc the former has a fairly deep voice whereas Ohm’s is higher and nasally, I like it, it’s distinct

Cute first ep, Sea is endearing, seeing OhmNanon reminds me of all the ep 1 VV and BBS crossover edits that were haunting me when this ep released

Episode 2 (Sep 28)

Forest Green

2-1

ohmnanon scenes so cute >.< even though Tun’s antagonistic towards Tess

Neo, hello :>

I know what people meant about choosing OhmNanon as Tess and Tun being a possible mistake. I care about them already and am like :) whenever they’re on screen being antagonistic and care less about Sea and Jimmy’s hardly even been here yet

lol Nanon’s characters can’t escape from being in love with Ohm’s characters since high school

eyyy Tun is now Jimmy’s character Puen

2-3

a SOTUS reference

2-4

MilkLove cameo!

Episode 3 (Sep 28)

3-1

bruh Puen messing up Tun’s life and friendship at once

I don’t have much to say like hm I guess they’re cute. I’m endeared by Sea/Talay

Episode 4 (Sep 28)

4-1

2gether reference. not Puen plagiarizing 2gether in a different universe T.T

Talay making Puen blush and Puen tryna fight him over it is cute

This “walking into coffee shop” scene is the only romanctic/slow-mo/music swelling scene of theirs that worked for me so far. “So? will they fall in love?” “I guess they will.”

“How about we fall in love with each other?” wait this is so good. i think i heard smth about fake dating and ig this is what’s about?

4-3

Dang, Sea’s acting as Tess feeling hurt is good. The “stop doing this to me” reminds me of ep 5 Pran before the kiss

4-4

Theory of Love reference

dang didn’t except Puen to kiss Talay already

Episode 5 (Sep 28)

5-1

Godji cameo

Talay’s older than Puen

5-2

Ayy, then meeting Pang Piyada. I saw many tiktoks about it when the ep came out and really enjoyed it. another [fave scene]

Puen telling Talay to go back to their universe before him if he can

5-3

Gun as Third cameo... in the other universe, Theory of Love exists and in this universe, Third exists

5-4

not a friend group separating in ep 5 ?! i’m gonna just assume they reunite and write again. sad that real pakorn didn’t get to participate in writing with them

I don’t know what their relationship currently is actually like they had a kiss? and then? they’re not boyfriends but it’s not like they’re just friends. are they still in the ‘jeeb’ flirting stage?

Episode 6 (Sep 29)

6-1

this scene of Puen tryna get Talay’s attention while he’s gaming reminds me of this JimmySea similar moment

I don’t understand the cause of this random little separation and missing each other... just cuz they’re not working in the same scriptwriting team anymore doesn’t mean they can’t be with each other all the time still

6-4

Joob died and I didn’t care and I also didn’t care that Dol was like I should’ve told her I liked her and didn’t care people were sad

Episode 7 (Sep 29)

7-4

One of the first times this show succeeded in making me feel for the characters 

Update: upon reflection after watching up to ep 11, I think this is when the show started taking a turn for the better and started focusing on the right things (though there was still a lot of film stuff + product placement). 

I think it was a good thing that I binged the show because watching the ep 2 - 5/6 weekly would’ve been frustrating because the plot wasn’t moving forward and the concept wasn’t being utilized as I would like but binging it made me feel like 1 long episode rather than waiting a whole week for 50 mins of nothing

Episode 8 (Sep 29)

8-2

I think it’s fun when people who know Tun or Tess or both of them are confused by wtf is going on and so are the characters like Mek saying he and Tun promised that he’d never work for Tess :0 I wanna know more about Tess and Tun fr

8-3

ohh I see what the problem has kinda been thus far, I haven’t cared about any of the conflicts. This conflict of trying to get Mek on their side + make this movie on their own is more fun than the other boring or contrived problems the show has had so far

a Tay Tawan cameo !

This ep was p good and although we didn’t get plot advancement in terms of alt universes, we got some relationship advancement (jealousy, confession, kiss). I think the problem was that the alt universe plot and romance plot are both very slow moving and mostly stagnant throughout the series, so it feels like it doesn’t move forward/is a bit repetitive. I don’t think it’s bad though bc it’s beautifully shot, fairly well acted (esp now that we don’t see Ohm or Nanon every other minute) and it’s got cute moments

The movie making and following the other people’s dreams/living their lives could be more interesting but I’m just choosing to not pay attention to how they’re creating this movie l o l bc it’s terrible

Episode 9 (Sep 29)

9-1

interesting that even after Puen and Talay return to their own bodies, their relationship will be different than before the body switch to other people around them. like their friend Mek straight up thinks they’re dating and has seen them kiss

aklsdfj I see what people meant when they were talking about Jimmy taking off the pillow cover

Mix cameo

I also now see what people mean by AouBoom ship

ooh “my wish is to stay here as long as possible” 

9-2

Interesting stuff about Puen not wanting to go back

9-3

Ooh, interesting that Talay’s afraid of the water now

9-4

Up: “This is discrimination!” (@ Tun giving Tess two presents) Tun: “Yeah, it’s discrimination”

ahhh the alpaca drawing on the hat, I remember seeing tiktoks of this too

oh dang lmfao I didn’t know there were after-credit scenes in these, so I hadn’t been watching them. This one is cute

I quite liked this episode! Agonies about going back to the other universe + Puen figuring out who Talay is. also adorable that Puen remembers their interaction so vividly and fondly and is even more enamoured with Talay

Bruh okay, I went through people’s archives for vice versa for August (ep 4 - 8) and I hardly reblogged anything, esp not any romantic or cute scenes between Puen and Talay... I had reblogged some ep 1- 3 stuff yesterday and I think there are moments from ep 9 that I’ll reblog when I go through September tags but it’s telling about how much I care about the main characters and their romance that I reblogged nothing with them hmmmm not a good sign but I think they can still end it well if they continue with the tragectory from ep 8 and 9

Episode 10 (Sep 30)

10-1

the cute nom nom nom cheek scene

10-2

the kissing here is nice

Aou Fuse are cute

this pink is fun

10-3

aw puen’s convo with tun’s parents

10-4

girl ofc talay falls asleep just as puen’s finally about to say his name

ahh i was spoiled for it but it’s still good! talay and tess still stuck in each other’s bodies while puen and tun are not

hmm talay did dream the night before puen/tun switch back and tun also said he dreamed. i have no clue how this switching thing works lol

so in the other world tun and tess found and were friends with each other as puen and talay

p good episode, i like he friends and family and alt universe stuff than the movie stuff

Episode 11 (Sep 30)

11-1

good start, so seems like it’s Tun actually who travelled back and so Puen was returned to his og body

why wouldn’t Tun say Puen’s nameee

ohhh lmfao guy wrote it in the sand

would’ve you just check if your phone has Talay’s contact on it?

Tess and Puen are funny and cute lol

this is so strange, Farhan’s mom gave us those glass cacti last month so seeing this is weird esp cuz I rarely have anything characters in a show have

11-2

girl ik there’s a fake reunion in this (ppl were so like why tf does GMMTV have a fake kiss in Eclipse, fake proposal in Magic of Zero: CLW, and fake reunion in VV) so idk wtf to believe

why do these people not check if their phone already has the contact? like the sticky note said there was Puen on Talay’s phone, why ain’t Talay checking

so strange the discrepancies of reactions. Pakorn was glad to see Tess/Talay. Tess was not glad to see Puen. the manager’s saying Puen (Pakorn) wouldn’t wanna see Talay (Tess). even though pakorn seemed glad to see him... what did Tess even do bruv (Talay, search it upppp it’s prlly on the internet)

11-3

girl Tess also caused a rift between Talay and all his friends?! this guy is so...

oh i see they just lost touch. at least he didn’t cause a fight

not the “can’t get in touch” drama exacerbated by the “oh no what if he’s dating his costar now” drama

11-4

 Wait Tim’s?

they’re meeting again at the garden cafe awww 

watched the next ep teaser and huh?

Episode 12 (Oct 1)

Finale day, still unsure wtf will actually happen in the next 50 mins bc the next ep teaser seemed packed

12-1

wait actually i love that there’s the universe travelers association here too! i was wondering about it existing in the other universe and it’s fun that we’ll get to see it

12-2

And we’re getting the celebrity/non-celebrity aspect too

loll Up and Aou -> Tup and Tou

naurr Talay don’t give the reporters an interview

12-4

girl why tf is Talay looking at his phone while driving, is the vehicle to get them to switch back to the other universe in the last 20 mins? and then switch back also? 

just kidding, thankfully they didn’t switch back and the teaser was just fucking with us

aw the random little Aou Fuse 

Tup and Tou confused as hell while Puen and Talay act like they’re all besties

the ending is cute

Didn’t touch on the alternate universe stuff at all this ep, so no more explanations lmao. Didn’t get to see what Tess and Tun were up to in their universe. Didn’t even learn why Tess as Talay was kicked out as manager. The seperation was weird and didn’t need to happen, they definitely could’ve kept communicating. some weird vibes in terms of like... them kissing and being affectionate? like why was talay resistant bc he wasn’t like that before, that’s so weird. I also don’t care enough about the story to actually be sad that we didn’t get these though lol my expectations were already low

Got a very small dose of the celebrity stuff but it’s more than we usually get, so I’ll take it.

Overall Thoughts:

This show worked for me while binging in a way that it wouldn’t have worked if watched weekly. There were a few episodes in the middle where it felt like neither the main alternate universe plot nor the romance plot were moving forward and it would’ve been disappointing to wait a whole week for a new ep but I watched them all in like 1 day so it didn’t feel too slow. I didn’t get to scrutinize the world building or think too deeply or theorizing about what’ll happen, all of which is good because I don’t think the concept was developed enough to handle much thinking. Also good to adjust expectations because people said there’s not much OhmNanon after the first two eps, that there’s nothing from the original universe, that they worldbuilding isn’t very expansive, non-stop product placement, etc. I enjoyed watching it while watching but I fast-forwarded sometimes and don’t care enough to be upset at its pitfalls because I came in knowing many of its flaws.

Vice Versa Mock Trailer (from GMMTV 2022 Boundless): I think I’ve watched at least the first half of this before and yeah, it’s a fun trailer, would’ve been very exciting to see it drop. They gave away so much though, like Puen going back before Talay and Talay not knowing his name even then. 

Vice Versa Final Trailer: This is nicely shot and a pretty cute trailer.

Also rewatched the Bad Buddy mock trailer from 2020 before watching these trailers and wow it continues to just be a great trailer, better than most trailers I’ve watched in terms of making me want to watch the actual show and care about the story/characters.

Rating: 6/10
