Soft Blush - Blog Posts

So from ep4 (posting before ep5 releases) we can see that even Puen is passing off everything as "for the script" & is unwilling to take responsibility for his actions.

Meanwhile Talay likes it & hopes it was sincere. So now it's Puen who's not taking responsibility for making Talay like him.

Color symbolism of soft blush - Vice Versa Episode 3 🌸

Soft pink is often associated with feminine qualities such as nurturing and compassion. It is also symbolic of budding romance and falling in love. Which is precisely what both the boys are experiencing at this moment.

Pink also has negative connotations such as passivity and unwillingness to take matters seriously.

Puen refused to take responsibility of Pakorn's life until that eye opening conversation. On the other hand Talay is still in denial about Puen's obvious flirting.

Pink is also associated with timidity & inexperience. Both the leads claim to have never experienced dating. While Puen is letting his heart lead, Talay is acting timid & cautious, thereby caging it. He's neither taking responsibility for his own feelings nor for making Puen fall in love with him. 🥲

I don't understand why Talay told Phuwandol that Puen NEVER told he's flirting for fun?

Sure, Puen never said it's a prank but he clearly overdid things & always SAID that "it's for the script." So technically he DID say that it's NOT real, right??

Talay was just setting boundaries by asking Puen to quit his so called "fake" flirting. But Puen didn't even have the courage to go & clear all misunderstandings so he just isolated himself.

Talay still came looking for him & this boy had the audacity to say "I'm not messing with you" & kiss him JUST after giving one sentence of apology. (SERIOUSLY, how about you try saying something such as "I like you" before pulling him in for an unexpected kiss?! When will you learn to show sincerity, HUH?!!) Only for us to see him telling in ep5 teaser that it helped him improve the script 🤡

Puen was so cowardly he hid behind the excuse of scriptwriting instead of confessing. Talay deserves better. Perhaps someone who is more certain about their feelings for starters. Oh wait, perhaps someone who would tell his real name 🙂

Visualizing them re-uniting in the real world & realizing their past encounters so that Puen can fall in love all over again for the fourth time :)))

Boy is definitely not going to be okay 🤭🤭

Puen falls in love with Talay thrice - A theory

We know Pakorn was had a crush on Tess who seemed to be oblivious about it, 

what if Puen after switching bodies with him is naturally attracted to even before knowing it’s Talay in Tess body because Tun’s heart in his body already yearns for Tess.

And we know Tess is oblivious so Talay doesn’t really feel anything in first glance until they get to know each other.

So basically Puen is double whipped. Towards Tess that Pakorn’s heart wants but Tess is now actually Talay, his real world crush. 🙃

The first time was in the real world.

The second time was Pakorn’s heart confusing him on seeing Tess.

The third time is when he learns Tess is actually Talay, who is a very caring ball of sunshine.

Boy is not okay 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Vice Versa The series could have easily gone wrong with the cliché character tropes. Puen being the rich, famous, handsome, go-getter bad boy & Talay being a struggling professional, socially awkward, ball of sunshine who fixes the bad boy.

While the characters easily fit into the tropes, it's the little details that make them more realistic & non-stereotypical.

Puen is everything like the bad boy, except he isn't. He is polite, likeable, hard-working & overall a sweet guy. He should have slipped into a negative spiral after losing his fame overnight & turning into a struggling scriptwriter.

Ironically, it's not the success that gets to his head but the absence of it. He was probably overworked & lonely in real life. He must have had a misconception that life without fame was going to be easy. He goes haywire when he turns into Pakorn, an average boy with no eyes on him. However, he receives Talay's criticism well. He owns up to his wrongdoings & tries to fix them. He learns that this life is his chance to have all the friendships & love he yearned for, so he must handle it with care.

Talay is struggling with job interviews & awkward around new people. But he is not lonely, he has a fairly active social life. He is passionate & workaholic. He doesn't seem like a pessimist, but he doesn't seem like the eternal optimist who believes in fairytale endings either.

Talay is KNOWS the right time to have fun. Instead of living a rich spoilt brat life like Tess, he chooses to be responsible & fix the body owner's life.

He is helpful, responsible & sensitive towards others feelings. At the same time he is not the kind who will shy away from tough conversations. So even if Puen melts from seeing Talay being all goofy & child like, Talay is anything but unicorns & rainbows. Both the leads come with their own sets of strengths & weaknesses.

What is interesting about their romance is that both of them claim to have never dated. And it's surprising that Puen is the one who believes in love despite being in a position where he must have encountered people after his wealth, fame & looks. Meanwhile Talay is the cynical one.

Puen courageously opens his heart. Despite being the go-getter who flirts aggressively, he is extremely gentle. He is trying to understand Talay & help him tear down his walls instead of intruding.

On the other hand Talay is also learning that love does not feel demanding to the one who is experiencing it. He is gradually making space for Puen in his life, developing feelings & attachment while struggling to accept it.

Instead of healing each other, the two are embarking on a journey of understanding each other, following their hearts and coping with their own emotional baggage to prevent their insecurities hurting the other person. (Lol at least I hope so considering the progress until Ep 3 🥲🥲🥲🥲) Because we saw Talay making Puen realise that he can't escape hardwork in any life & Puen trying to make Talay come to a conclusion that love is not supposed to hurt or distract you.

Edit : guess who got clowned from ep4 🤡

Seriously Talay, if what you did isn't a form of love then what else do you call it?! 😭😭😭😭

Talay be making Puen fall in love with him & then have the audacity to say he doesn't believe in love 😤😠

Can I just take a moment to say clingy Puen makes me sad after this conversation🥺🥺🥺🥺

Poor boy must have felt so isolated in his real life & he's unable to handle it when he gets to try a "normal life" he was craving for.

He must have felt so guilty after Talay pointed out his mistakes. He never intended to hurt anyone. He was just having a hard time accepting the new reality. Perhaps it all felt like a long lucid dream 😪

DON'T TELL ME-

THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY NOT FORESHADOWING, RIGHT? RIGHT?!!!!!????
