Reverse 4 You Episode 1

Good Sci/Fi-Fantasy pilot, mediocre GL pilot at best

„Reverse 4 You“ started a little slowly, with a clear trajectory yet where the story was going. In fact, it took a rewatch for me to detect the small glimpses of a future Jattawa–Four relationship, or even interest in that; far more obvious is the heartthrob Khun seems to be interested in Jattawa; he enrolls her in a competition (that seems to be like the one in “Love Senior”) worth 50,000 Baht (1,500 USD).

This gets other students jealous of Jattawa, as she is apparently making a move on Khun.Four’s outburst captured on video pretty obviously was a reaction to something to something the volleyball team did to her – if that is all the reputation of the “Four Serpents” is based upon, Four probably isn’t that bad (apart from her generally abrasive behavior, that is).

The Jattawa-Vivi dynamic was nicely established, and we got a few uses of their powers – though I must say, Vivi’s powers are pretty useless so far, as the visions seem to be confusing, and she can’t control them.

I don’t know yet what happened to their parents, but their uncle selling their place warrants an urgent explanation.I think the first episode establishes well the powers, but not the central relationship between Four and Jattawa; I guess it will be a slow-burn (a little worrying as it's only an 8-episode series). So far, it’s a fantasy show first, and a GL series a distant second.

I knew that Yoko (Anueng from "Blank") would be in this series, she actually filmed this before “Blank”. In this episode, though, she had only two scenes and no lines at all.
