Two Worlds (2024)

Nothing that hasn't been done before but still sweet

Two Worlds in of itself actually doesn't have THAT unique of a plot. We've seen the son of a gangster trope countless times. Not to mention the world/time traversing trope isn't becoming that uncommon. Like with Memory in the Letter or Time the series. (Which is awful, do not watch Time.) However what does make Two Worlds stand out from the rest is the fact that with time, interaction, and explanation, the other side characters begin to gain their memories from the other world as well. Which I feel was it's strongest aspect. As it involves the side characters more, since they also have personal feelings attached to Khram despite not interacting with him in the second world and even in some cases, are dead themselves in the first.

That being said, despite this extremely well done twist with this trope, the rest of the series is kind of meh in my opinion. While I did enjoy the more intimate scenes, I feel like they were a little played out and randomly inserted as filler space for any given episode at a time. Once again, the all too well worn out trope of the gangster's son didn't really bring out anything new to the table or was all that interesting. Sure it brought about drama but the anti-climatic ending of Thai's father only executing himself wasn't very satisfying. And as soon as that happens it feels like that entire plotline of Thai being the new boss of the gang is just kind of dropped.

Another really big gripe with me was the first world's Thai Who gets bitten by a snake and dies... Just before the second world's Thai arrives. Don't get me wrong I'm glad it ended up that way but it was so out of left field that it was pretty hard to take it as anything but a last minute cop-out of "Oh well there can't be two of these mfs walking around."

Overall though this is definitely worth a watch, was able to go through all ten episodes in a single day and enjoyed myself enough to do that. I would suggest this BL to someone who likes plenty of spicy scenes and doesn't mind some questionable logic of characters or happening coincidences to move the plot along.

Ten Worlds Wouldn't Help Here

Frankly, it is irrelevant how many worlds this series had; even a half a dozen more would not have helped. It is just awful. I am sorry to say that as I so wanted to like this drama. However, this is again going to be one of those series that if you are a fan of the two leads (which I really am), you will perhaps enjoy this series. I tried, but for me the whole thing fell apart at the beginning – from the banal screenplay to production issues to vapid acting. All of it was just plain mediocre to subpar. The storyline was a good one, initially. I love transcendental legends, and this had all the earmarks of a great fantasy. his series was not well produced. The translations sometimes were hard to follow the actions and felt awkward. There were a lot of major glitches in the editing itself.

A Bitter Love Triangle That Transcends Two Worlds

Yaoi is a genre of anime and manga that features boys and men engaged in the most outrageous and erotic situations. You know from the moment you opened one and pressed the play button what you’ll get. Two men kissing at some point and more being the general draw that pulls readers and viewers into spending their time enjoying it. Thailand’s Boys’ Love for the past few years seems to have noticed the success of this rule, and has outspokenly modeled recent shows based on this concept. Attractive strong men and effeminate pretty men are in hi definition focus but now they face witches, demons, ghosts, abusive bosses, and the most venomous women for that happy ending we all secretly or overtly wait episodes for.

It's Not Supposed To Be Funny, But...

My expectations begun in the basement level so there was literally no way for this show to disappoint me without first going to hell. The first episode is so rushed I found myself laughing at nearly everything, even now, just after finishing it, I'm still giggling even though the entire episode is meant to be serious. (Especially when Tai appears at the gallery acting like a two bit villain, I nearly died laughing). The lines so far have been exclusively read, not acted, but I always give episode one all the grace I have to spare (and then some when two episodes are released at the same time because obviously, episode one cant stand on its own) so I'll decide on that next week. I hate, hate, HATE being told over being shown and, to me, a montage is exactly that: telling. Montaging the relationship with a main character is wild because it is instantly unbelievable. I just met this motherfucker twenty minutes ago. KRAM just met him twenty minutes ago. And you want me to believe they have deep feelings? Matter of fact, back up, whyre they kissing?? I wish I could insert a picture of my face for that entire section of the episode because it'd say the million words I have much more succintly.

Also the plot??? "If the man who just tried to kill you and has guns (but also chose to use a knife because.....uh, because, i guess) comes back (read: and you survive) I MIGHT have to hire a bodyguard"???? Wild lmao. And then: "hey you just tried to kill me but I just gotta know why, do you per chance have a remote location where we can meet. A warehouse? That's perfect, on my way!" Bro, I was CRYING laughing because they read the lines almost monotone and the lines themselves werenso, so dumb good lord. If I keep both my expectations and standards on the floor, this is a comedy, and I'm loving it.

I could quote so many lines from these two episodes alone, but I'll just do one more and let it be:
Tai: who do i look like?
Kram: tai, son of por
Tai: yes i am he
Kram: but tai has scar on face
Tai: idc i am not he
You cannot tell me this is not a comedy. Or, you could but I have timestamps to prove otherwise. Tbh, i did actually want to see MaxNat in something good because I couldnt get past a few episodes in Cutie Pie or Naughty Babe, but the synopsis for this one killed that dream and now the show itself is beating the dead horse.

I wish I hadnt said no more quotes because Im sobbing this is so funny. One of my housemates came downstairs to check on me and thought I was sad crying but i cant breathe its so funny. I think what really gets me is the utter lack of emotion in literally any line mixed with the plot moving at mach speed but somehow also being empty. I usually wait for 3 - 5 episodes to review but this is such a trip I'll just do it now: I absolutely recommend this. Just dont take it seriously and youll have a blast.

Ill probably updaye this review as I go along since this is one of the few new shows I dont see myself dropping by episode five lol.

Ao elenco todo, perfeito, atuaram com maestria, claro, dentro do proposto pelo roteirista e diretor. A história seguiu sua premissa, que na verdade era isso, um amor entre "dois mundos" e sabemos que na cultura asiática isso meio que comum, faz parte de suas tradições e crenças, embora sempre haja no roteiro um excesso, mas sabemos que isso faz parte em todos as séries, filmes e etc...

Isso... foi uma jornada. Embora esta série seja definitivamente o melhor dos projetos de MaxNat até o momento, ela teve sua cota de problemas (as opções de edição são totalmente desconcertantes). No entanto, gostei de visitar este conto todas as semanas e havia uma espécie de magia na qualidade assíncrona da produção de episódio para episódio. iQIYI, como sempre, tem as piores traduções, o que também prejudica a série, mas com bastante familiaridade com o tailandês e/ou verificando as traduções dos fãs, certamente há poesia no roteiro, de vez em quando.

Deveria ter dado mais ênfase ao casal secundário, tempo teve, mas acredito que esta falha se por conta do roteiro.

Vale pelo menos um tempo, apesar de suas muitas falhas.
