Would have to be their last scene together on the beach, where they say how much they mean to each other. If that…
In the series, if they move back yeah it would take that long. Also they were separated for longer by the time Charan moved to London. In the book Khanin wasn't getting a master's degree, so he had no ties to London besides his friends.

They don't give an exact time frame but I reread the chapters and it wasn't all that long.
The book ends with Charan coming back to England to stay with Khanin. That is only a week after Khanin moved to the UK.
Special Chapter 1
Mostly a sex scene. But we do find out where "good boy" and "please" came from. This occurs one day after Charan's arrival.
Special Chapter 2
A week later Charan and Khanin go to breakfast in London and to a shop afterwards for some chocolate. They run into Khanin's ex-girlfriend (who didn't exist in the series). Charan gets jealous, drops to one knee right there and proposes. The ring is a diamond not a pearl.
Special Chapter 3
This is when the wedding takes place. They don't tell you exactly how long it is after the proposal but I don't think very long. Tharin flies in. Both he and Thatdanai walk Khanin down the aisle.
Vedish is best man. Chana married them. Chakri, Eva, Ramil, Paytai were there. Khanin gives Charan paint brushes for a wedding present (but no mention of them being used during sex). Charan gives Khanin the deed to a house in Emmaly They have sex in a fancy hotel, more good boy.
Chapter 4
Occurs one month after the wedding. They have moved permanently to Emmaly. Thatdanai has also moved back into a nearby house.
They have a housewarming party with all of the main characters in attendance. This is where you find the final resolution to Ramil/Paytai, Calvin/Jay, Ava/Mira, the first two of which weren't nearly as fleshed out as in the series.
The book ends with Charan leading Khanin to a special library room in their new house with every portrait he's ever painted of Khanin. Points out how the pictures differed as his feelings grew, and the last thing they do is get together to paint a picture of their future. The book ends with a couple of paragraphs about how they were destined to be together across the skies.
My guess is that from Charan's arrival in London to the wedding was a few weeks to a month. And from there to the end of the book another month for a total of 2 months max for the special chapters.
I thought the NC scenes were relatively horrible although I did think the couple had good chemistry outside of…
Nah. It was the time travel plot that didn't make any sense. There were all these incongruent scenes. I'm never watching it again so it doesn't really matter to me.
I probably would have dropped it if it was more than 10 episodes.
if you're going to show the characters being in London, then why do the characters have such a thick accent? I…
They were supposed to be international students but some of them didn't have accents like Samantha. In the book Paul was supposed to be from London but obviously in the series he was not.
The only one that was confounding to me was Khanin because he was supposed to be a native English speaker having been brought to the UK when he was still a baby.
But NuNew didn't go to an international school as a kid and his English is barely conversational although his accent is pretty clear even if he speaks with a Thai accent.
It's probably not worth it to him to spend enough time on English to lose the accent although working on his fluency would help him a lot.
Would anyone like to share their favorite Ramil x Paytai fic (preferably not smut... anything that explores their…
Would have to be their last scene together on the beach, where they say how much they mean to each other. If that doesn't spell trauma bond I don't know what does.
Her name is Oneratchada Varavudhi. And she got royal blood lmfao.no wonder she look so high class 🤣 This is…
I was wondering why you said she looked elegant. I didn't notice a credit for her and looked at the end of episode 12 for it.
Chuchakorn Jitviroj does have a single credit in IMDb as additional crew on a 2010 show called Point of Entry.
I didn't even notice that Ming's mom didn't have a credit because she was just a guest actress. Joe's mom had a pretty substantial supporting role in the series so I was shocked she had no credit for it.
Edit. If I put จุชากร จิตรวิโรจ into the Google search engine I come up with a bunch of results but they are all in Thai so I can't read them.
does anyone know the name of the actress who plays joe's mom???? she is literally not credited anywhere that I…
Jaoh ML Varavudhi. See my thread above. According to iiiiii she is an actress who retired long ago and has very little presence online. She has a private Insta account and Poom follows her.
everyone sees winners face, because his body is just a vessel for Joe , we only see Joe face as the audience,…
It confused the hell out of me too and I finally went to Reddit and read multiple explanations.
When Joe dies he gets a new body. So the soul of Joe 1 and the body of Joe 2.
Characters in the drama see Joe 2, which is why they don't recognize him. And his mother doesn't understand that her son's soul is someone new, although she figures it out in time because of his behavior.
However the audience (the people watching the BL) still see Joe 1s body and face, The only way we know that the body has been switched is when Joe looks into a mirror.
So when we are looking at him in his day today activities the audience sees Joe 1 played by Poom, but when he looks in a mirror or we are seeing him through the eyes of another character Joe 2 appears on the screen played by Winner.
Glad to know I wasn't the only person driven crazy by this.
And PS. It becomes way less confusing as the series moves on even if you didn't get this explanation.
Her name is Oneratchada Varavudhi. And she got royal blood lmfao.no wonder she look so high class 🤣 This is…
I think you got it this time because Poom is following her. She has a private Insta account, so my guess is she doesn't have a credit for My Stand-In because she wants to maintain privacy. Thanks! ❤️❤️

That link connects to a wiki page for Mom Luang Wanratchada Worawut. And when I try to Google Oneratchada Varavudhi all I get is information about a shopping district. I guess the search goes on. But thanks for trying. 😢
I loved this drama. Just finished watching it yesterday. The only thing that confused me was the body switch part since Joe looked exactly the same before and after the body switch. So I finally went and did a Google search on this and found some Reddit explanations.
Apparently the audience sees his body the same but the characters in the drama do not, and this is shown when Joe sees his reflection in the mirror. After that it made sense.
Anyway just in case someone else was as confused as I was.
Otherwise the leads had great chemistry both in and out of bed. Ming starts out as a toxic asshole but when he loses Joe after the accident he undergoes a dramatic change although he is still overly possessive after they are reunited.
The story is about the growth of both characters. Ming becomes an actual grown up as opposed to a spoiled rich kid, and Joe learns that he doesn't have to put up with being a Stand-In if he chooses his own path in life.
Only thing that's still driving me crazy about this drama is the woman who plays Joe's mother has no credit and I cannot figure out who the actress is that played her. I've done many many searches, so if anyone knows please tell me!
Genuinely don't know how this is so highly rated or why ppl keep saying it's the best show of 2025. This show…
I didn't think much of it either, but if you want to see a really good BL, provided you haven't seen it already, try My Stand In. Not only do the leads have great chemistry both in and out of bed but it has a thrilling plot.

We find out late in the series that Joe 1's body is also dead, so it looks like we are taking "car parts" and making a new human.
When Joe dies he gets a new body. So the soul of Joe 1 and the body of Joe 2.
Characters in the drama see Joe 2, which is why they don't recognize him. And his mother doesn't understand that her son's soul is someone new, although she figures it out in time because of his behavior.

It would have been better if they concentrated on more family healing and more commitment between the MLs.
