In the end, all that matters is enjoying the experience, and I sure did
• Two Worlds might have sparked mixed reactions from many, but for me, it's one of my favourite transmigration stories and no one can change my mind (I may or may not be a bit biased)
• Let's first discuss the plot. Now, this plot isn't perfection. I could see the plot holes here and there. But they weren't much for me to stop this series entirely. I enjoyed the plot, and I noticed that like any other transmigration story I must have my focus, otherwise it's going to be messy and confusing on the surface. I must also say that I was intrigued with this story since I saw it's pilot teaser, so I may have spent lot of time into grasping each and every aspect of it. But that helped enjoy my watching experience instead of feeling like this was a waste of my time. I do think that some things that happened in the pilot could have been retained in the series, especially the scenes of the death of the first world's Phupha and the second world's Khram. Those scenes seemed as if there was no effort into doing them. Tai's large knife was not at all intimidating to me, and made me laugh instead. But I figured out that those elements didn't bother me. Never had I ever thought we would be introduced to a virus around the finale, but guess that's how the novel is. As for the ending, I believe both Tai and Khram ended up in the second world (in contrary to what I guess happened in the novel). But I was somehow satisfied, since I never thought it as an open ending.
•I personally loved MaxNat's chemistry as TaiKhram more than I should. I enjoyed it more than the love triangle and would've loved to see them from the begining itself. But I'll admit that GunNat's chemistry as PhupaKhram wasn't bad. They did great with what they were given. I was also somehow rooting for TaiPhupa, even though they barely had any semi-romantic scenes together.
•Individually, their acting is varied. Max is good as usual. Tai's definitely a more healthy tsundere and Max did justice to him. His expressions were fantastic and I loved his hairstyle in the series than in pilot. Also, that voice in which he greeted Phupa in the first episode is my golden scene, I also re-watched that episode due to Max. Tai's relationship with his father is complicated enough for Tai to take him as the only person he shall not kill. The second world Tai is far more delicate and likeable than the first, but I do feel sympathy for the latter. Nat, on the other hand, had some moments where his flared nostrils got on my nerves, but I fell in love with his boba eyes. Also, is it only me or is it noticeable that Nat's lips are of a different shape sometimes? I kind of find them undefined, could be my perception. Plus, the scene where Khram says he will save Tai is funny, considering the guy is short and fragile, who is he exactly going to fight? And again, contrary to popular belief, I could see that Khram took some time to accept his feelings for Tai and move on from Phupa. Speaking of Phupa, I really appreciate Gun's acting. He really fits his role and also did full justice to it. One thing that sometimes made me amused is how Khram always wore those rags when Phupa took him to some modern places like that art exhibition or Bangkok (except for that one banquet scene). Like, please Phupa, give that guy some decent clothes.
•Jao and Wayu's story is also enduring. I was surprised to see them having a past connection and the NC scene was killer. Their same time proposal was also cute. I kind of feel sad for Khrams's parents. In the first world, the father is the widower and in the second world, the mother is widowed and blinded. I really wished they had happiness in both worlds. I loved how understanding Duendao in the first world was towards Khram's feelings for someone else and in the second world, her supporting his blinded mother is so generous. Por is miserable and has toxic masculinity, which he expected from his son after his wife's death, but he couldn't get that. I don't feel any sort of pity for him and just feel sorry for Tai instead. His right man Piak is a shocker. I have never seen a man like him before. Chat and Satreekit being the secondary villains was unexpected. Wiroj having an unrequited crush on Phupa's namesake father was interesting given that he was actually the biological father. Phupa marrying Run and having a son in the end was endearing.
• The soundtrack, especially the instrumental is addictive to me. I also appreciate the production value and the natural scenery. Also, Khram with a bunny is cute. I was not expect to see another cgi tiger in a MaxNat series.
•Overall, this series is not for perfectionists. It's for those who understand and enjoy it regardless of anything. And I'm one of these people.
