"Reflections of Time: The Meteor, The Mirror, and The Aura"

I love the concept and cast too did a wonderful job. Cute love story with blushing moments without any contacts is simply superb. The main problem is the age gap it was bit wierd but afterwards it feels ok. Now the major problem is that it is not promoted as other thai bl's dramas used to. So the writers of the show should have to take a step forward to promote this drama. And everyone should have to watch it , it simple and amazing too. I love it and all the 3 leads did wonderful job too. Even the ratings are given low in MDL don't believe it,just go and watch it is perfect drama in this year.

Enjoyed the first four episodes

Alright, I watch this series without really knowing about the premise. When i got into the first episode i got attached. It is good, the chemistry is over the top for Songjam and Aksorn.
It's only 6 episodes, so i understand about the fast pace of the story. However, when the 5th episode come out i was like... Errr seems like what i thought is happening. And boom! That happened. Coz I actually found the similarities between Songjam Kyo. But i just can't accept it, sorry. I was so attached to songjam, that actually unable to fully enjoy the ep 5 and 6 coz I couldn't really saw him as Songjam. Coz I was taught from the early episode that he (Kyo) must be the 2nd lead. So, i got denial when i first had thought that he is who he is. And when it is actually true, i still unable to grasped it.
The actors are great, the acting is actually good. Aksorn could really maintain his chemistry with both actors. But, the way he easily accept him is a little bit too rush. Like, how could you easily accept that your lover is actually someone that has been on your side but hes actually in another form a few hours ago?
My review is a mess, but I actually make an account just so i could rant about this series. Coz i love it but also dislike it at the same time. I enjoyed it but skipping most parts toward the end 😅
So overall i love the first 4 episodes.

Feeling disconnected towards the end

I love the storyline. It's unique and refreshing. I really enjoy it until last episode.

I've no issue with the age gap, that isn't the problem. It's not so much about the story than the execution.

For past 5 episodes, my mind has these 2 actors as main lead. That's who I've watched, who I adore and who I've been waiting to watch, and suddenly....in last episode, we have totally different actor as Songjam?!

I get they are the same person but I feel NOTHING...because, I feel so diasappointed not able to see the kiss scenes between the younger Songjam and Aksorn, one we've been waiting for since the dance in episode 1. Although they do it with the older Songjam, it doesn't feel the same. HUGE EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT.

I dunno why they make the story so complicated. It could have been such a beautiful ending. Ugh.

An Impressive Watch Indeed

Watching this series is like wrapping yourself up in a warm cozy blanket on a cold winter’s night as you are reading a romantic allegory. While the sensation is comforting, the fable still provides you with enough stimulation to keep you awake. But you suddenly realize that you reach a part in the story where one of two possible endings can happen. Either a fairy tale one or a tragic one. While I certainly love a fairy tale ending (and these two guys deserved one), I was preparing myself for a tragic one as the series did seem a bit dark overall. Unfortunately, I got neither one. And I threw off my warm blanket and started to cry with disappointment. Let me elaborate.

Pretty good fantasy BL

This is one of the better BLs in the first half of 2024 and is in my list of my favourite fantasy BLs . The 6 episodes never felt rushed, the story flowed properly, and it was not encumbered by 2nd or 3rd ships. The chemistry between the young couple was great. I was genuinely surprised that I can experience chemistry from 2 persons interacting through a layer of glass (or mirror, as is in the story :p) Their acting was decent, and the twist was surprising and mindblowing.

Many people are dismayed by the ending. I can understand that, considering our current norms with regards to relationships like that. Some might even consider it as grooming. The producers also seem to have considered this, considering that they have SJ alternate between actors. There were also some instances which the story could be extended, like the dad reconciliation arc as well as the dad meets SJ part. But I suspect its more on the novel then on the artistic direction.
That said, I think in a fantasy genre, there is always an aspect of un-realism there, in this case, how someone can hold on to a love for so long? But if I were to take a flight of fancy, isn't that why you watch BL's in the first place, for rare love that is hard to achieve? That is exactly what is so Fin about it. Love that transcend time, space and universes always have that certain appeal in them.

The standout actor to me is Beck. His facial expressions are great and his acting is realistic. Sometimes I wonder if its because of a good script or if its because of his acting. I conclude that its the blessed combination of both factors.

Overall, I gave my score based on my opinion that its well paced, the story is tight, the twist was reasonably well done, and the actors have reasonable chemistry with one another.
