It was well written. I see no plot holes in this drama. The actors were superb! The main couple giving us that Bonnie and Clyde feels with their heist. Kim Dong Hee's acting was so great, he looks so good being a bad*ss despite that calm, pupply look he always has.
The OST! This is the only kdrama that I didn't skip the intro. I loved the opening intro! I wish Netflix will release the song soon enough.
If you are a big fan of crime dramas, this is definitely for you! Intensely great in every way. One of the best kdramas ever!
10/10 perfect ?

When the news came out that Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin were to star in a drama, I was so ecstatic. I knew their chemistry would be awesome and I was not mistaken at all. They served us the looks and the skills. Their performance in this drama was exceptional as well as the supporting actors/actresses.
The plot was uniquely good. It was slow-burn but it's the kind of slow-burn that wouldn't annoy you. It was fulfilling watching Hawon (Jung Hae In) and Seowoo's (Chae Soo Bin) love unfold in the purest way. The way they slowly creeped into each other's hearts was well written. I also loved the way how hugs were more important than kisses in this drama. It just shows how innocent and pure their love for each other was.
The cinematography? One of the best.
The OST? Hit's your feels so much. The songs were so beautiful.
The plot? Well written and well directed. Big kudos to the directors, writers and to all the production team of this drama.
Overall, I had fun watching this. It's so saddening how people found this drama boring for it to get cut to 12 episodes (from the original 16 episodes). This drama was healing and relaxing. A different genre from the usual kdramas we always watch. I'll miss this kdrama so much.

Once you start, you can't get enough of it. Rookie actors that served me a great series.
First off, I really didn't have plans of watching this series. I watched the mock trailer during GMMTV 2022 and tbh there was no spark b/w Jimmy and Sea. I only supported it because of OhmNanon and Jimmy (Wai in BBS) BUT, I've seen a few BL watchers say how underrated this show is so I gave it a chance. Boy am I so thankful for giving this a chance.The first episodes had OhmNanon mostly so I got no problems with it since I love these two so much. The next episodes focused on JimmySea and I was skeptical, but the more I watched it the more that I was getting hooked. Jimmy and Sea may be rookie actors so I understand they're still lacking at the acting department but these two really ate and served their roles up. I don't think I can see anyone portray Puen and Talay better than Jimmy and Sea. Jimmy's acting improved from when he acted as Wai in Bad Buddy Series so he impressed me on this series so much. As for Sea, this is the first time I'm actually seeing him but my first impression of him is good. These two has so much potential and I need GMM to help them hone their skills more. These two can make it big.
JIMMYSEA'S CHEMISTRY IS OVERFLOWING!! Nobody can convince me otherwise (anyone who says these two has no chemistry needs to get their eyes checked idc)! As I have said before, I didn't see any spark between Jimmy and Sea during the mock trailer but watching the series proved me wrong. These two are made to be each other's acting partner. They absolutely fit so well. P'X has good eyes for pairing these two together.
For the plot, I'm not a huge fan of multiverse but this one got me hooked. This was refreshing to me compared to the few multiverse movies/dramas I've watched. I love how they insert a few lines from different series so it was exciting in my part. This series gave me goosebumps, made me cry, made me laugh, and even made me annoyed (Tess I'm glaring at you rn). It was so good. It's making me sad how underrated this series is.
OSTs were all so good! This is like the 2nd series I've watched where I didn't skip the opening and ending credits. Jimmy and Sea's singing voices are fitting for the songs. I'm glad they sang the osts. It made me feel more emotional!
Rewatch value would've been 10/10 but the ad placements were too many (although I found them funny). They could've toned it down a bit, but I guess they needed to do it or whatever.
Anyway, Vice Versa is definitely one of GMM's underraated gems. You have to give this a go. This is one of GMM's best work. I hope a lot of people appreciate this more because this really deserves the attention.
I'm looking forward to JimmySea's new series Last Twilight. I'm sure it's going to be great again. The plot already looks so promising and JimmySea fits the role so well. I know they're going to give their best and they're going to eat those roles again. JimmySea with P'Aof will save my 2023.

To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories

Highly needed as this answered the questions left in S1
I think this is that sequel that is way better than the original. It was painful and made me cry and mad so many times, but for me, this sequel was necessary to help us understand what the characters were feeling. It gave us more background about Jiwoo and Seojun's past. It shows us how relationships are in real life. No relationship is perfect, that at some point, someone will break and hurt. Also, I think this sequel made Seojun and Jiwoo stronger as an individual and as a couple. The break-up was needed so they wouldn't be in a relationship that'll only hurt them more in the future.I'm not justifying what Jiwoo did, but as someone who feels what he went through, I completely understand where he was coming from. I'm not going to deny that he was a j*rk for doing that to Seojun (you hurt us so deep, Han Jiwoo!), but what he went through was no joke too. One more thing that makes me less mad at him is when if you squint really hard, you'd appreciate the small details he did that shows how he loved and still loves Seojun and how he deeply worries for him. And Seojun, our shining star Kang Seojun, he did not deserve that (no one does), but his love for Jiwoo was so deep that he's willing to do anything to bring him back.
Kang Seojun and Han Jiwoo are each other's oxygen, so watching them apart was so suffocating.
All in all, this ended up being my favorite BL and favorite series/drama overall (personal favorite!!). The actors and actresses ate their roles tbh. I love the main leads' chemistry. It was overflowing (especially in episode 10. I love my domestic seojiwoo). The plot was really great. I love how this focused more on the plot than the intimate scenes. The editing between the flashbacks and the present? Flawless! The music used were so fitting (I will forever cry over The Universe and Every Single Moment). This is now one of my comfort webseries. I hope you try and give this a chance because you won't regret watching it. Definitely a 1000/10 to me.
EDIT: I've seen comments about how weak Jiwoo's apology was and that Seojun shouldn't have accepted it right away or at all. IT WAS NOT! S1 Jiwoo has expressed his jealousy about how Seojun can easily express himself to anyone. Expressing yourself loudly is hard for people like us. This is not something you can just fix overnight or in a few days. It takes so much energy and effort to speak our thoughts out, and I think Seojun knows that. That's why Jiwoo expressing himself to him and finally taking the first step to fixing their broken relationship was enough for Seojun to forgive Jiwoo.
This is not your typical fluffy and sweet BL. It won't make your heart flutter in a good way. This is not for the softhearted. This k-bl will not spoon feed you, but will make you think about what happened, what's happening and what's gonna happen next. This is a series where you should focus seriously on everything that's happening, for you to understand the characters and events. This was realistically well-written and it makes it a great series.

Truthfully speaking, this was not on my list at all because as I have said, historical dramas bore me. But I came across Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun's rain kiss bts on facebook and their chemistry was exploding! So I gave this drama a try and boy did I not regret watching it. This has become my FAVORITE KDRAMA OF ALL TIME!
From episode 1 up to episode 32, there were no boring scenes. Everything looked interesting. The plot twists were surprising. This drama made me laugh so much on the first episodes, it made me mad and cry on the other half. The actors/actresses did a good job portraying their roles. I have never seen such powerful casts that blended perfectly with each other. No one was better than the other or weaker than the rest. Every casts showed perfect performance. Not to mention how close they are off cam, that is why TTON family is one of the best. Their bond is more than just work, they are a family.
Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun? I swear directors are making a big mistake on not casting them on another kdrama! These two are made for each other (on and off cam). Their chemistry is all over the place and have yall watched their bts vids? They're so comfortable with each other! I have seen comments about KSH being most comfortable with JDY than her other co-stars and I think that says a lot about their friendship. I really hope they'd end up together in real life but if they don't, I hope they'd remain friends forever.
The OST? This drama has got the best songs and I'm not even being biased here. The production team does know how to insert the right background music on a scene that it makes you feel twice the emotion you're feeling. I've been listening to the ost since the day I finished watching TTON and it just makes me miss this kdrama more.
The ending satisfied me. The writers gave us an ending that is a combination of reality (parts of this kdrama were based on actual history) and imagination, and I think that's what makes it perfect. No kdrama has ever given me peace after finishing it and TTON just gave me what I asked for.
I highly recommend that you give this drama a try. I really love this drama that I have rewatched it just days after finishing it. It's perfect in it's own way - the casts, the production team, the story, the ost, the cinematography (it was so lit, I tell you!) and a lot more were done perfectly. I'm not over TTON yet and I'm 100% sure that I will never move-on from this. It will be hard for me to watch another kdrama for weeks because TTON just owned my heart. I miss TTON family so much!
