Again, here we go with the scriptwriters favourite, the body swap. Occuring inbetween a boy and girl. It's all very funny & cute, of course until the sweet innocent girl needs to pee for the first time. Then, she'll have to get acquainted with the boy's "thingy" no matter what.For a romance, this theme usually is of a low use because any romance progress a person can make during such body swap is with someone either the wrong sex, or wrong orientation, after they swap back, lol. The longer runtime it goes on, the more you'll start questioning whether it will still work, and kinda wish they'd just switch back soon. Even here, where we have just the fangirl trying to be a "well wisher" for somebody else, we face a dilemma. I guess it's never easy to write this kind of stories.
Also, from the audience point of view, we can barely appreciate how cute the girl is, if we have to watch First Kanaphan most of the screentime. Occasionally, there are short moments when they show us the girl instead of him, like they are trying to save the given scene after all (else how "romantic" can a boy look with his brother?:) but it's not enough.
On the other hand, what's too much is the final conclusion. We get to know why only one participant of the switch was awake after the body swap. I said this watching 'Notification' series and I'll say it again: Death is a too dark a theme for a fluffy fantasy-romance show. It makes no sense that everyone learns the truth so late (while all the time they have been conversing with Angel Of Death) and it makes no sense why so much relationship development was given to the secondary character and not the main one.
The fact that somebody died is kinda even worse if someone has been parading around posing as them, for quite some time after it happened. Didn't the screenwriter realize that all the shenanigans and manipulations with other people's feelings during that time could be forgiven ONLY if the person eventually got their body back? It's not just the love interests, but also the parents and other relatives. I'd say things were no longer funny. Then again, "Angel Of Death" is someone funny on this show. Incompetent to know who died for so long, all the Angel is able to offer is the surviving person can choose which of the two bodies to stay in? Wow. Btw, I added the spoiler alert in my review because of these paragraphs, but honestly I think there should rather be "Death Of Main Character" listed in Tags.
I know it was all because they tried to engage the audience emotionally, but in truth it was dumb. In the final episode, they harrass us for a little while that even the second couple won't make it (while the victim of the first disaster is already smiling in acceptance) then at least they have their happy reunion but of course, we don't get to see the final kiss of the boy & girl in question, as this was made for BL fans, lol. What this show managed to do was that thanks to the body swap, neither gay nor straight audience got their satisfaction. I could not enjoy the "romantic climax" where the guy finally wins the heart of his girl, but he has to kiss his brother (and then bury his dead body). But who cares (the girl's actress was probably underage and so she wasn't onscreen much) we then have a sweet voiceover to give us magazine-like moral advice, and we're back to fluff and jokes. I found the "wise message" of this series worthy of a smirk and the same goes for the humour... About the most funny about it was the loud "Eh?" the main girl/boy tended to utter when really surprised, lol.
In the end, one character died but else everyone is happy and the main heroine is back to the same stupid online writing as before, lol.

This is a very bad story to be honest.
I started watching it because of the bl but in the end the bl did not survive.there are many questions to ask Like why they kill kim?and why it is not happy ending for the way and kim?why that couple survive which was not interesting at all.Only thing good about this serie is comedy.The ending is horrible.I am very disappointed im GMM tv for this project.I cried in the last episode so much that I didn't even like the happy ending for all other couples.I am gonna say only watch it for once but keep in mind that it is not a good bl for me.If you are interested in comedy series then watch it.I am sad because they killed the most cute character of the serie P First.If you want to watch a soul switching bl then watch cupid's last wish by EarthMix. Way better than this one.Was this review helpful to you?

Unexpected
After watching 7 out of 10 eps of this series, I can truly say that it is special, and VERY UNEXPECTED, how? First of, the trailer itself confuses us watchers since we were not really given a full grasp on what this show is really about. Is it a bl? Will there be all hetero couples and absolutely no bl couples? Is it a romcom? Is it a serious type of show? So many questions are asked after just watching the trailer, which it good because gmm did not give much away, or any in that sense.The show itself is very interesting, knowing that us fans know absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that it's about shipping. The show shows an overly exaggerated way of shippers shipping their ships (wow so redundant), so it is somehow relatable because i'm pretty sure us watchers have our own fav ships, but whats special about this show is that it offers more than merely fantasizing our ships. It shows that we shouldn't think that our ships are absolutely perfect, because they are human too. They have bad sides and it's ok. However we should hold them accountable for these actions. It shows the relationships between each characters, what makes them special. For example, the relationship between Pan and Soda, super wholesome. And of course each episode is a cliff hanger that leaves us wanting more
I don't know how this will end, because to be honest i did not even know what to expect in the beginning, but all i have to say is that so far, the show is very entertaining and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to laugh, cry, scream (bc of the ships), and other emotions.
(btw, p'jennie makes this show 10000000x better than it already is :P)

Sit back and enjoy.
STORY:The story is just like any body-swap story! It is NOT A BL, it was not advertised as a BL, do NOT EXPECT THE SHOW TO BE FOCUSED ON BL. It has an LGBTQ+ aspect which is not the main focus.
Overall, the story is really cute and fun to watch. It tries to impart a few morals to its viewers such as how being too selfless is not a healthy thing, and that sometimes you need to let go. Being the light hearted comedy that it is, the plot may have a few holes in it, but nothing that'll really haunt you.
ACTING:
The acting was superb. I could feel the emotions of the characters without them even saying anything. Their eyes said everything.
MUSIC:
The music was cute and catchy.
NOTE:
You may have seen many glorified reviews/comments/thoughts about this drama. DO NOT let them get to your head. The more you expect from a drama, the more you will be disappointed. Just sit back and enjoy, don't think too much!

But It also enables to learn about the issues faced today especially of how you perceive that person.
"Some people are not so bad like we thought they were."
"I think we shouldn't judge people from our point of view."
"Some people don't care what outsiders think of them."
"Sometimes our eyes can't see what people really are or what they really feel towards us."
"Sometimes we need to use someone else's eyes to see how close we are to someone so great."
"But for some people we think they are so great..... we can be totally wrong about them."
All of these are 10000% true.
The Story is great, The Acting and the Cast are superb, I'm literally in love with the OST, And I'm damn sure to re-watch this series again and again.
And How i'll forget that Ehhhhhh...... Its so cute and I like Jennie's Comical scenes. Overall I would definitely recommend watching this.

My favorite thai drama
This drama is actually so good. I don't usually like to ship people when they're not the main cast, but this series got me shipping everyone! Even the girls xD. I recommend watching this, it's very interesting and there's so many scenes that will make you fangirl. The series is also very funny, P'Jennie is the funniest.The Story:
I really like the story because I've never seen a series or movie where the main character switches body (in a kdrama). The series really shows how it's like to be a fujoshi, I can relate to it. The story is amazing because there's so many scenes where fujoshis can ship two people.
The acting:
I think the acting is very realistic, and the characters show clear emotions. All the actors are perfect for their role.
The music:
The music is actually so good, I often swing my head with the melody.
The rewatch value is at TOP because I could NEVER get bored of it! It's so interesting to see the characters build and change throughout the series.
Negative:
The relationship Kim had with the teacher made me cringe so hard. The way the teacher acted made me want to puke. Like she's 40 or something and he's at least 20 years younger.
Overall the series is going real smooth, and it doesn't make me nervous of what's coming in the next episodes. I just hope Kim and Panithita doesn't die.

I think I lot of people that are giving this show bad reviews are judging it a bit too harshly since it hasn't even finished yet, and are perhaps looking for a more cut and dry show. Personally I love that The Shipper is not quite so black and white and that it manages to be both incredibly humorous and still very deep at times.
It's a very cracky, humorous show that I didn't think I would love as much as I do, but holy heck, the acting is fine as hell and the story is immensely entertaining.
Sure it's not perfect, but I think if you go into the show with an open mind and looking for humor you won't be disappointed. All in all I think this show is great and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Beware all happy ending lovers this show is not for you..
I have watched soo many series and read soo many books but the one thing I had to do was know the ending before I start the series.I am a Sucker for happy endings because ik that once you get attached and then when a character dies your eyes are gonna be swollen the next day.
I watched all kinds of series in a lot of languages... English, Spanish, Korean, Chinease and a few more but in all of them I had to check what the ending would be.
Finally I had stumbled upon a bl series that had a good ending and I just thought that since it's about bl a love that's hard to come by, the characters won't die without a happy ending..
But now after watching this series I am heartbroken cause even in bl series they are killing main characters....
If you don't mind getting attached to the main character and his life and then seeing him die before getting in a relationship with his partner, this series is good. If the main character had not died in the end my ratings for this drama would be a 10/10 but now it's -10/10.

if it wasn't this...
I just think they shouldn't have made ohm and first kiss each other because since we know their characters are siblings, it's VISUALLY creepy. they should've done what they did for all the other episodes, which was replacing kim's body for pan's, to represent that PAN is there. so prigkhing should have done the kissing scene, that way it would be WAY less weird. they did that scene just because immoral BL fans would love it, but it was unnecessary and explicit incest, externally at least. Also, I really hoped Kim would end up alive. Way deserved so much better, and I was really sad that he ended up alone. I wish it had a different ending, and I wish they deleted the kissing scene, just that.(reposted from 2020 bc my old account got suspended)

Don’t know
I feel like this isn’t a bl for me because kim is death, and Way basically fell I love with Pan that was in Kim’s body that’s how i saw it.I feel like what they must’ve done is Kim and Pan should’ve both died and then the Angel of Death should send them both back and said, one of you must come back and only one can live, and only give them 30 days on earth to finish they Business on earth, and in that 30 days they both fell in love with people knowing they both can stay and on the 30th day she took one of them back.
I feel like that would’ve been so cool because we don’t know who will live and who will go.
