Triage

Ten out of ten recommended!

This is one of the most amazing bl's out there, the cast, storyline is just great. But I want to point out specifically Dr. Tin, this man plays his role like a pro and it's obvious that he has previous experience and has improved on the way, different from other drama actors that are very much lacking a whole sense of action and doesn't give all of themselves to the role, I mean to really get into the character.

Second greatest aspect of this series is that it doesn't have unnecessarily spontaneous cuts (that is a greatest problem of other bl dramas) and doesn't leave you with lack of feeling that something is left out, what I mean is that every moment is explained very well and instead of jumping from one to another it sticks to important moments and fully shows emotions of each actor, which is very important for a production as a whole to give it a sense rather focus on giving main actors awkward screen time and develop their feelings very fast.

I couldn't wait to finish the series and I'm writing a review right now, it's also my first review that I've ever written here and I did this because of how impressed I am by this series, it's a breath of fresh air after I've watched pretty decent amount of Thai BLs.

Shout out to crew and directors for a great production and I'm hoping for this type of series in the future.

Edit: I've finished this few days ago already and I'm just amazed by it, its such a nice production, couple has one of the greatest chemistry and play their roles amazingly, great job!

One of the best bls of 2022

People need to stop sleeping on shows like this one and manner of death! You're missing out!! First of all, im so happy we get to see TaeTee back and better than ever. They got to work on an amazing show with (imo) a really amazing plot. I promise you this show isnt boring, i was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I think there were some audio errors here and there where they forgot to add in dialogue into a scene but other than that this show is perfect. Fiat is in this too which made me so happy. Also im in love with Dr. Sing but im not a home wrecker so I guess I'll just admire in private.

Was not expecting this at all

What to say about "Triage"?
Honestly, i was expecting nothing from it. The plot seemed like any other time loop, choice and consequence, scenario but it proved to be way more than that.
I am surprised, in the best way possible about this drama. The story is amazing, making you stay at the edge of your seat making many assumptions as things move forward, the cast is just so great in their roles and made me not doubt any minute of their goals and motives and the music is so well put that in moments i had to go back a few seconds cause i just go lost in the moment that things were happening.
Not gonna lie that i did question some decisions that the characters made, specially the Doctor Tin, but it was not something that made the experience any less amazing.
Sad that i will never be able to re-watch this as if i am seeing it for the first time, cause it is a great experience that i would not trade for anything else.

When the plot is more interesting than the main couple

The plot on its own is interesting, I really like the whole illegal organ selling thing. Very dark and very unusual for BL. That's why I like it! I would have wished they would have dived deeper into it, but maybe that's what 'Transplant' is for. It's interesting to watch Tin trying to break out of the loop, but it is also very frustrating (due to the nature of the plot obviously). There were definitely some plotholes and weak moments in the writing.

I also believe because of the endless loops, it was hard to build up a proper romance between the leads. I haven't watched their previous work, but their chemistry personally didn't really work for me here. I can't pinpoint what exactly it is, but I'm just not really feeling the chemistry. It's not bad by all means. It's just not...very exciting.
The acting overall was alright, though.

I did enjoy watching it, I wouldn't call it the best BL out there, but everyone who wants to watch something that is more focused on a complex plot should give it a try!

Okay so Tol and Tin are now on my top couples list lol

Ah so the storyline and writing in general was so good but you know me, I'm a sucker for angst and bishounen/ikemen torture aka whump ;) and obviously this show was in the first half about a ten and then in the end there was angst and torture back personally felt like it was less tame that's one reason Im not rating 10.

The second reason I'm not rating 10 like I did for Manner of Death (Max and Tul OBVIOUSLY) But seriously though I felt like MOD has a much more satisfying ending.

Also I was basically screaming at the Tan Bun cameo and then that ending made me feel like there's more spin offs in the future and I'm all for it.

But seriously MOD had that ending which was all " Tengan me bro " lol as compared to the kiss by the watch building and also I mean you can't beat Max Tul skin ship I'm not even going to pretend like I didn't die when Tan handcuffed Bun to the stairs ffs lol

Anyway... Back to Triage - it's a damn good bl though and even the secondary couple was so adorable!! Just like in MOD where basically it feels like Tan Bun have adopted two kids lmfao but here tbh they never actually got down to doing anything actual, but still they were such a cute ass bickering couple!

Anyway that concludes my review! Watch it you guys!

BEST BL OF 2022

I started to watch this drama because I loved so much Manner of Death book and its from the same author that wrote Triage. Sammon has a talent for blending criminal and intrigue plots with a romance that is everything. I really fell in love with the story of Tin and Tol and suffer in every chapter until the end. The drama plays with the reason that people is the result of the influence of others. In other words, Tin and Tol would be diferents people is they weren't in each other lives.

The plot of the loops and the criminal organization of kidney traffic was mind blowing and had me on my seat every chapter. Those last two episodes almost made my blood pressure explode. I really love the drama. The cast, production and writer did an excellent job.

A very good drama that could've been better

So... I've just finished watching Triage and... it was good. It was really good! So good that I've finished it in only one day. Then, why is my mark this low, you could ask. Well, the main plot was really interesting and quite consistent for a series that has to film several times the same scenes. But I still noticed some flaws that I can't get over with.

The first thing that I thought was weird was the development of the main leads relationship. Tin has lived several times the same scene (Tol's death and him trying to resuscitate him). Then, he relived the whole day. I don't know how many times but we see him relive it only a couple of times (once when he was looking for Tol and told him he was gonna die and once when he was punched by Tol for mentioning Mai). Finally, we have the first scene in which he managed to relive the day before and from then on, it was weird because Tin acted as if he was already in love with Tol. But we didn't see them interact that much at this point so it was really weird to see Tin looking at Tol with lovey dovey eyes and I would have hoped to see more development in that part.

The second big problem of the show for me is the whole Dr. Sak and Doi organs trafficking plot. Thankfully, even though it was a big part of the plot, it only started to become more important at the end of the series. But the whole thing with Doi trying to kill Sing and Gap (TWICE !) was a mess... The first time, Sing fell into Doi's trap only because they were "friends" and he thought he could change his mind. Since when were they friends? We never saw them interact and the few times they had a scene together, Sing was annoyed at Doi. So that is inconsistent. The second time, Gap rushed to Sing's flat without even calling the police?! Like... I know the police in Thailand might not be the best and trusting police you can have but they would have probably arrested a man threatening to kill your boyfriend with a gun. I'm pretty sure of it. They never called the police when they had the chance to and that was really annoying to watch. Also, when did Doi have the time to go back to the hospital (after being in Sing's flat) just to inject (what?) to Tin? It makes no sense!

The last things I want to rant about is, where did Tol send Tin to (when he was still in the coma)? He was taking care of him at Tin's house and all of a sudden, he transfered him somewhere else. We also have no idea how long Tin spent in a coma. And who the f**k was that guy in black that killed Tin in Tin's last loop? He seemed to want to kill Tol but how was Tol related to all of this? I don't understand...

But anyway! Apart from this two things (the second one being the most annoying one), the series was really good and I would still recommend it to anyone.

some yall reviews are preety misleading

As the title states "some of yall reviews are very much misleading"and i gotta say i was kinda disappointed yet it was expected. I just so happened to come across triage in mdl and decided to see the reviews before i watched it and i gotta admit the things yall saying about it gave me high hopes and expectations for this and how yall described it is like this is the god amoung bls or smth. . I know its yall opinion but some of yall does go overboard. I am shocked at the rating yall giving this bl and i just find it so funny how almost all of the ratings is either 9, 9.5 or 10
And the titles and the reviews yall giving this bl is not giving persons like me no justice at all
Like for example one of the top reviews title states " THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ASIAN BLS OF ALL TIME" i wouldn't go so far as to say its the best bl of all time and some others take after that person in terms of the title and the reviews as well!!
Anyway
What i like- the chemistry between the main couple, the ending ( that nearly made me cry ), the plot, their acting and (especially tol he is sooo cute XD )

What i dont like - the constant repitition of the time loop, the solution to the time loop( i feel like they couldve solved this problem earlier and better so it could've avoided the casualty of tin), and i also feel that if they adjusted this bl a little more it would've probably been a 10/10

So to conclude it wasnt that bad, it was alright but would i watch it again ..... sadly no as far as i am concerned it should be watched once and done and if it should be watched again i would recommend watching when they start falling for each other.
So ppl if u want a bl with time travel/time loop with romance this is it for you!!!!!

Proceed with caution

I went into this show right after finishing Manner of Death. Now, that was probably all on me. I expected something at par, or maybe just slightly worse off, than MoD.

The premise was very interesting. I managed to watch about 10/13 episodes in one day, even while working. Around episode 6-7 though, is when I realised that I'd lost interest enough to start looking for logic in a lot of things the characters were doing. That came to head during the last 3 episodes, where I was honestly left wondering how I made it this far into the show, and why I was continuing to watch the show still.

The actors did a brilliant job, don't get me wrong. But, somewhere along the way, the plot started to slip enough for me to snap out of my "it's a story, it's not supposed to make sense" mindset and start actively wondering how or why this show has been recommended to me multiple times.

P.S: That MaxTul cameo? I knew it was coming and I squealed with happiness anyway. That was the absolute highlight of this entire show, for me. Which, sadly, tells you enough about how quickly this show lost me.

EPIC STORYLINE EMERGENCY ALERT! CALL 911!

This series has one of the most interesting storylines ever. I noticed that most of my top-rated dramas are related to time (present-to-past). The intriguing factor in this series that paid my attention is that how the time looping develops the relationship of the characters. Only one thing that pissed me off in this is the final plots in Episode 13 are somehow rushed.

Emergency room setting is very fantastic. The actors made a proficient portrayal in the medicine practice. Everything is great but never the gun/kidnap scenes. Everyone looks lousy when it is supposed to be nerve-wracking.

I haven't noticed the music they used. Maybe, there's none at all?

Must-watch! Highly recommendable! This series is full of funny moments, joy, sadness, annoyance to the antagonists, and most of all, love.

(Overall suggested rating is 8/10 but I will rate this with 9/10 because it deserves to be in my top-tier dramas)
