All I can say is wow.
This series left me speechless. I'm genuinely surprised I have seen no one really talk about this show. Before you hesitate I'M BEGGING YOU let this have a chance. At first I was extremely about watching this series because of the description. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was scared Korn would only pursue Lin and ignore Win, If you get what I mean. I'm genuinely so surprised and I have to say, another favourite series from EarthMix!! I started this with the feeling something bad/sad would happen, which I'm not gonna give spoilers on in the headline. Apparently there was backlash on this show which I just can't believe...
I love the original concept of the road trip while having to collect holy water from 4 temples in 7 days. It's super original!!I always like series/movies where the location is something farm or countryside related. So that made it extra fun for me. The switching bodies is not very original but the way they put it is with Win having to 'safe' his sister. I also like the soul concept and I love how Buddhism is used In this, this is coming from a buddhistic person. Of course it's Thailand but it just made the series a bit more interesting and special to me.
About the soul's, this was very complicated to some people maybe. You see Win played by Mix each time they meet people who 'know' the actual soul inside Win. I really like this because it leaves the impression that Korn sees Win as Win even if he's stuck in Lin's body. If they didn't add this I'm gonna be honest but I wouldn't have seen a difference in people.
I like how they showed that Win actually had issues with 'being' his sister. I feel bad for Win because he kept forgetting he was trapped inside his sister's body. That monk at the first temple had to let Win be reminded that he was in Lin's body. The discomfort when he got his period as well and when he was 'assaulted'. I get why Mix would wanna go back to his original body because he clearly felt like he was 'using' his sister's body, but then again, he was not able to. He kept having reminders he was not himself even though their souls swapped. Him being hesitant to actually like Korn back was extremely valid. I was so afraid Korn would end up falling in love with Lin because he was 'seeing' Lin's body the whole time. I felt so bad for Win and I'm happy that wasn't the end.
Sorry, but I am again making a small paragraph about how amazing the ost is. With again I mean that I often do this in other reviews as well. I actually knew the song Closer (ไม่ไกลหัวใจ) before this series. The song makes me so emotional each time I hear it and that rarely happens because normally I don't like 'emotional' songs. It's not emotional, it is just such a sweet song... Honestly each time it was played through the series I felt like "oh shit there will be a part where I'll have to cry purely because of the song." This song gives me some sort of weird nostalgic feeling. . Hearing the song makes me sad every fucking time.
Ok so this was the last EarthMix series I had left to watch, until Cupid's ghost comes out of course. I have to say, EarthMix are one of my favourite actors under Gmmtv when it comes to their series. I'm not even joking, now that I've seen everything, they leave me impressed every time. I love EarthMix's acting a lot and every series they've played in just hits different, It's as if gmmtv gives them the more complicated series, I am not sure how to explain this, I find it hard to describe. Also Mix and Jan GENUINELY look alike, I hope they'll be casted as sibling again if that's ever needed, because Jesus Christ. I don't even think I can separate these roles irl.
Overall, Please give this series a chance if you keep pushing it away, you'll regret not watching it earlier. It's so good and just everything about this series makes me wanna cry from nostalgia. The ending was extremely peak, trust me.
