MaxNat’s Alternate Universe Madness: Why Am I Screaming?
Listen, y’all. When I tell you I screamed, I mean I screamed. Like, actual unholy noises left my body the second I saw MaxNat headlining this series. I’ve been WAITING for this moment since forever, and they finally did it. Main couple energy? MAXIMUM. Objectivity? Out the damn window. If you’re here for a calm, unbiased review, sis, this is not that. But if you wanna hear me lose my mind over alternate universes, sexual tension, and some very questionable plot choices, let’s go.

Max as Thai:
This man? A WHOLE-ASS MEAL. A five-course dinner. Michelin-starred. BUT—and I say this with love—why is Thai such a little bitch when it comes to emotions? Like, you’re out here assassinating people, dodging bullets, looking like a snack, but the minute someone brings up feelings, you malfunction? Get it together, sir.
Thai’s whole vibe is “emotions are for the weak, my heart is bulletproof,” and honestly, I was living for it. UNTIL THEY WATERED HIM DOWN. Where is the trauma? Where is the grit? Thai should’ve been out here breaking hearts and causing chaos, but instead, they gave him this half-ass redemption arc that felt...meh. Like, I wanted him to ruin Khram’s life before he started fixing it. Is that toxic? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little.
And then there’s Thai 2.0. Oh my god, this man is a MESS. One minute, he’s like, “You are not my Khram” and the next, he’s all, “Wait, maybe I love you?” Sir, please pick a lane before I lose my last brain cell. Also, where were the soft moments? I needed cuddles, forehead kisses, Thai 2.0 carrying Khram out of the rain while whispering sweet nothings. But noooo, we got the emotionally constipated version instead. Ugh.

Nat as Khram:
KING. ICON. LEGEND. Khram is the glue holding this messy-ass series together, and Nat EFFING DELIVERED. The way this man can cry on command? The way he made me feel every ounce of Khram’s pain? Give him an award. No, seriously, give him all the awards.
Khram’s whole personality is basically “I’ll sacrifice everything for the people I love,” which is adorable but also HIGHLY ANNOYING. Like, sweetie, love yourself first. You’re out here risking life and limb for people who can’t even say “thank you.” And don’t get me started on his loyalty to Phupha. Bitch, read the room. Phupha 2.0 doesn’t even LIKE you, and you’re still out here crying over him? Babe, move on. Thai 2.0 is RIGHT THERE.
Also, major respect to Nat for acting in the forest despite having sensitive skin. The way this man is willing to suffer for his art? We don’t deserve him.

Gun as Phupha:
Phupha is the literal definition of “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss,” and I mean that in the worst way possible. OG Phupha was sweet, loving, and lowkey perfect, so of course, they had to KILL HIM OFF. Thanks for nothing, writers. Then they gave us Phupha 2.0, who is just...a selfish little prick. Like, sir, you don’t get to treat Khram like garbage after everything he’s been through. The AUDACITY.
But let’s be real: Gun absolutely slayed this role. The duality? The range? I hate Phupha 2.0 with every fiber of my being, but I can’t even be mad at Gun for it because he ATE.
---
The Plot:
Okay, so the whole “alternate universe” thing was cute or whatever, but y’all...the logic? NONEXISTENT. They’re like, “Oh, just jump into the river under a blue moon, and boom, you’re in another dimension.” What in the Disney Channel Original Movie is this?
And don’t even get me started on the pacing. One minute, they’re fighting for their lives, and the next, they’re having a heartfelt conversation by the campfire. PICK A VIBE. Also, where is the angst?? I needed Thai 2.0 to mess up big time, Khram to hate him for at least two episodes, and then a dramatic reconciliation with tears and shouting. Instead, we got...whatever this was.
And the action scenes? A JOKE. Max could’ve been flipping people over and kicking down doors, but instead, they gave us a two-minute scuffle that looked like it was choreographed by my little cousin. Disrespectful.
---
The Steam:
Let’s talk about the cave scene. Y’ALL KNOW THE ONE. I had to pause, rewind, and watch it again because holy hell, the CHEMISTRY. MaxNat understood the assignment and then some. The way they looked at each other? The way they touched? I was blushing, screaming, and considering drinking holy water, all at the same time.
But real talk, the rest of the sex scenes? A little tame. I mean, they were good, don’t get me wrong, but where’s the variety? Where’s the angry sex? The makeup sex? Give me all the flavors, damn it.
---
The OST:
Yeah, I forgot it existed. Next question.
---
Final Thoughts:
Look, this series isn’t perfect. The plot is messy, the action is lackluster, and the angst is barely there. BUT MaxNat carried it on their gorgeous, talented backs, and for that, I will always stan.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I rewatch it? Only the cave scene. Final score: 9.5/10, and that’s only because MaxNat are my babies.
