Sometimes miracles can cost you your life. But are you willing to take such a risk for your better half?

This question pretty much sums up the entire premise for this show. Adapted from the novel “Reverse with me: Across Millions of Orbits” (Reverse With Me ล้านวงโคจร) by Zezeho, the storyline deals with quite a few parallels. The editing is choppy in some places and because of the uneven pacing, the storytelling seems confusing. Born into a family where the descendants have magical powers, “Reverse with Me” focuses on Karan who can manipulate time like her mother and also has the power of visions. You are never given the explanation for Karan’s supersonic powers, they just exist; the only catch being that like her grandfather, Karan loses a portion of her lifetime whenever she manipulates time. Moreover, every time she turns time, Karan experiences excruciating pain; neither fact stop her from manipulating time and again to save her longtime crush, Kliaokhluen. The back and forth becomes confusing after the second time when it becomes evident that Karan is losing her lifetime, and yet she doesn’t stop.

The Main Leads & Their Chemistry

There is a lot of time traveling at any given point of time and since only Karan (Natt Nattamon) knows about it; you lose count of the number of times she manipulates time like eating cold noodles. It is a risky business but saving Kliaokhluen (Pitcha Pitchatorn) comes first and foremost; because the girls keeps falling in danger. It’s either her father’s old colleague who tries to shoot her or Karan’s friend, Fiat exacting revenge. The essence remains that time travel has irreversible effects, as is obvious from Fiat’s parent’s death. You need to pay a price for it; Karan seems almost reckless at times as she continously manipulates time to save Kliaokhluen from life threatening situations. Natt & Pitcha indeed have a refreshing chemistry, and they look beautiful together. But the story doesn’t do them justice. I kept comparing it to “Reverse 4 You” and certainly found it lacking. I didn’t hate it per se but rather I didn’t enjoy the show as much as I expected. There is only so much, the lead pair can do a with flatlined script!

Is it a Worthwhile Watch

Not so sure on how to answer this question, I won’t recommend this show to anyone looking for a meaningful storytelling!

The script is all over the place so you don’t know when Karan turned time on a whim; you can only guess that Kliaokhluen was in danger again and Karan had no choice left. The way she treats her life is absolutely appalling, or maybe she loves Kliaokhluen so much, that she can’t imagine a life without her. Either way, the show makes less sense in the penultimate episodes and you are left grasping onto the thread of sanity!
