Synopsis
After a near-death accident, Talay (Tawinan Anukoolprasert) wakes up in an alternate universe inhabiting the body of Tess (Pawat Chittsawangdee). He reunites with Puen (Jitaraphol Potiwihok), a famous actor who is now in Tun (Korapat Kirdpan)'s body after an accident. The two meet Phuwadol (Lalana Kongtoranin), a nurse who helps people from the same universe they left behind, to guide them through life in this new universe. To return home, he must locate his "portkey" — the only person who can send him back once they have accomplished what they need to achieve.
Talay and Puen have a mission to accomplish, and are aided by their friends Kita (Phanuroj Chalermkijporntavee), Fuse (Tharatorn Jantharaworakarn), and Friend Credits members Up (Trai Nimtawat) and Aou (Thanaboon Kiatniran). Love and friendship grow with them in the new universe. What will happen to their mission? Will they be able to return to their home universe?[3]
