Reverse 4 You (2024)

#JusticeForReverse4You

Do people just hate good art or something? Like, why does Reverse 4 You only have a 7.8 rating? Put some respect on its name because this show is so underrated. Honestly, it’s the best GL of 2024 in my opinion, even though we got robbed with only 8 episodes.

The balance of romance, comedy, and angst? Absolute perfection. And I mean perfect. Four is a masterclass on how to write a "mean" character. She starts off as an asshole, sure, but the way her character grows and deepens makes you fall in love with her. Then there’s Wa, she’s such a fun and likable character that you can’t help but root for her.

The writing is so good and does not get the love it deserves. Their banter? Pure gold. I was kicking my feet and giggling like crazy. I haven’t read the book, so I don’t know how faithful the adaptation is, but the delivery of the lines? Top-notch.

And let’s talk about that confession scene. The build-up was chef’s kiss, and the scene itself? Best one in GL history, hands down. So cute, so romantic. Writers and directors everywhere need to take notes because this is how you do it.

Even with only 8 episodes, the pacing was just right. Every episode felt complete and left you excited for the next one. Unlike other shows, it didn’t leave you feeling like something was missing.

I love everything about this show and will defend it forever. Absolute masterpiece.

disappointing

Time traveling. Girl kissers. Say those words and I'm sold. However, I was left feeling frustrated at the WHOLE PLOT, characterization and theme about 'sacrifice'.

There is ZERO logic in the time traveling aspect. What I mean by that is simple. Jattawa's father repeatedly went back in time to save Vivi, and the sisters didn't remember a thing about that. How come they do remember it the final time their father did it? And why is he able to go years, decades back in time, but Jattawa can't?

And why was Vivi fated to die again and again? I know it's because of Four, but why could everything be changed except for Vivi's fate? Sadly, it's a failed attempt at making the story tragic. Sometimes dramas don't need unnecessary murder plots. I couldn't take ANYTHING seriously. Maybe I'm being too critical of this entire fantasy element. The thing is, it's relevant to the plot. It's supposed to make sense??

Of course there's a mean girl. Jattawa went back in time, told Kie some philosophical sh*t and now, she's genuinely apologizing to Four for all she's done! Make it make sense. People don't act like that in real life.

At least the romance was cute, although it was nothing life-changing. Also, I liked the sister dynamic between Jattawa and Vivi.
