Triage

I really loved this series. It has a very engaging storytelling that makes you eager to keep watching. I really liked the narrative switch in the last few episodes when we got to follow the story from a different character's point of view.

There is a big cast of characters and what I appreciated the most is that they are really three-dimentional and shown in all of their imperfections, but we also see how they can better themselves and right their wrongs. I especially liked the character development Tol went through, what growth from his inital snobbish and rude self.
Also shout out to Jinta, a top-tier celestial being turned matchmaker!

Just a warning, beware the medical content if it is something that you might struggle with, like me. The first few episode were a bit confronting, but then I got used to it and it also became less prominent. Still, there is a scene in episode 10 with a very graphic and bloody medical procedure, so take care of yourself and skip ahead if necessary.

WAY better than I expected

Even though I have seen this drama recommended over and over again, I kept putting off watching it because I don't like hospital dramas typically. But then I started watching it and was HOOKED. This isn't your typical hospital drama with the focus on a patient every episode. It's so much better.

Tin is a third year resident doctor in the ER. His job is busy - there's constantly people that need his attention, whether that be for some scrapes and bruises or for CPR emergencies. When he's not dealing with that, he has to deal with Professor Sak on his back about prioritizing the right cases and sending the rest to him. One particularly busy day, Tin gets multiple life-or-death cases, and he attempts to help a college student named Tol who was in a car crash. No matter how hard he tries, Tin can't save him and the student dies. Then, when Tin wakes up before his shift, he realizes that he's living the same day over again, down to the last detail. When Tol shows up in the ambulance once again, Tin's attempts still fail to save him. How many times will Tin have to relive this tragedy? How can he change it, and what repercussions will these changes have?

The way that Tin and Tol's relationship develops over the course of the show is absolutely spectacular. It's not the main point of the show, but rather a secondary plotline that helps build the characters they're playing. Watching Tin get closer and closer to Tol, but still having to watch him die over and over again is painful but amazing to watch.

I was worried that it would get stale and that watching Tin repeat his days would get too repetitive but BOY was I wrong! Tin's character continues to find new ways to attempt to save Tol, but this can lead to unexpected consequences. The further he goes back in time, the closer he can get to Tol, and the larger the impact of his actions on his future. This was a series that surprised me throughout the entire show and is not one to miss.

Why isn't everyone talking about this show??

Seriously just stumbled across this show and saw the reviews and figured I'd give it 2 episodes because lately the ratings on here and my personal taste haven't been the same but OMG! This show is so good!! OK if you're in the mood for a heavy romance BL not the one to watch right now but the story is so good and the acting is great. I get why everyone on here is confused as to why this isn't more popular. I had to hunt it down on Daily motion and sour through commercials but 100% worth it!! This is going to become one of those shows I rewatch several times. Seriously even if you on the fence go watch it, it's as good as everyone on here says!!!!!

Get into the Loop

Triage might be one of the best BL series, without relying so heavily on the BL as the selling point. the characters, setting, and storyline are all interwoven so well that you find yourself completely engrossed in this. last thing I knew, I had watched well over 5 episodes in one day. admittedly, the ending could’ve been better, but I found the growth of all the characters enough to make up for it. I can’t vouch for the accuracy in the medical sense, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this set in a medical field. would have enjoyed seeing more of the ER team but it’s just an afterthought at this point.

A good start that lost the plot

Simply put, this show was an interesting concept that dropped the ball when it did its perspective shift. The rules of the world were clearly established when Tin was the main character, but when Tol became the main character, suddenly all those rules changed and the world no longer made sense (interacting with visions from past loops, receiving a notebook which he never even touched, the kissing rule, and the one chance rule).
On top of that, the characters made choices which made no sense, especially in the final episode. Why were so many doctors completely incompetent and did nothing during moments of crisis?
And finally, the acting was just bad or entirely overacted by the support cast.

Great drama!

Definitely not "the best BL series ever" but it was very enjoyable and better than most. I think the plot kind of got messy and boring somewhere around the last two episodes, but I liked the happy ending and the previous episodes were so good that it didn't affect how I felt about the overall story that much. I would have liked more intimate and personal moments between Tol and Tin if there was more time rather than focusing so much on side characters, but the moments they did have secured their chemistry and made for a really cute romance. I really liked them as a couple and I've never seen the time loop trope done this well for a BL before so I'm happy about that. Some people didn't like the focus on Tol by episode 11 but I found it to be necessary and satisfying, I just think it could have been executed better is all. I think my favorite part is that it's only after you've gone on this journey with Tin that you realize he wasn't just saving Tol, he was saving himself. They are both selfish characters that were only able to become better people together and I found that fascinating.

Romantically Epic is all that can be said!

This Jewel deserves all the praise and I'm going to give it💎

The second TV Thunder Productions BL after Manner Of Death. I gotta hand it to them they don't make many but the ones they do make are just so top tier. I mean I don't know about you but for me peak romance is when you have to live the same tragedy over and over on a loop and you push through the despair and weariness in order to save the life of a young man you've developed feelings for through countless iterations of the same few days.
The trauma of you promising him that as long as he's with you, he'll be safe because you won't let anything happen to him. And when you finally accomplish that goal of saving his life and ending the cursed loop in order for him to be able to live, as his new evolved self, you're life is taken. So he now chooses to pick himself up and march forward to beg an angel to rip open the seams of time to do whatever is necessary for you to return to life because he would rather be the one to die after all then to not have you exist in the world.

I love series' like these because of the extenuating circumstances the characters have to go through while trying to be together compared to the other genres like Office, University, or Cooking for example.
Even compared to Most of the Crime/Mafia ones where the characters face life threatening situations almost constantly as they navigate relationships, none of the others reach the same level as TinTol who literally face the forces of Time and Death, multiple times and still manage to come out on the other side together.

Romantically Epic, that's all that can be said 💗

One of the best series with a time jump plot

Time jumps are difficult to handle in a story line as there are multiple pieces that you have to be careful about so as to not ruin continuity and keep the essence of the story going. Triage although not perfect really did a great job at keeping itself on the right path any time there is a time jump to the point that it even ties one scene that happens in the beginning to something occurring way later in the series.

Tin is a doctor at an ER in a hospital where Tol is brought in critical condition after a car accident. He tries to saves his life but is unsuccessful. However, to his utter shock he finds himself back in time reliving the moment where he loses Tol on the emergency room bed. He is tasked to save his life to break this loop. This task isn’t that simple as any changes to the past causes a ripple effect in the future where Tin not just loses Tol but other people around him are affected as well. Tin has to find a way of saving Tol’s life while not harming his friends

As Tin tries harder and harder every time to save Tol’s life, he inches closer and closer to multiple truths and now the mission is not just to save Tol’s life but to uncover way more. The stakes are now way higher. In the process to managing multiple inter-locked events he keeps jumping farther and farther in the past, meeting Tol, falling in love and finally seeing his lover die in front of him.

In the penultimate episode, the story takes a different turn altogether which in my opinion changes a lot about the characters that we know, that it seems like a different series altogether and it just becomes too messy. And then the haphazard attempt to make this a Disneyesque happy ending took the potential of being one of the best BL series away from it.

I was however, pleasantly surprised that this series shows the butterfly effect where in a small action leads to massive consequences. So in order to change the future, you need to change the past but to what extent can you alter the past so as to reach the desirable result in the future. Bearing this in mind, the series does show changes in the future timeline whenever Tin decides to take some action in the past to save Tol’s life.

Tee did a fabulous job playing the character of Tol. The character had depth, a proper story arc with a redemption plot and he handled it superbly. Tae playing Dr. Tin was convincing as well. You can feel the pain in his eyes whenever he had to see Tol die after making multiple attempts to save his life. Although in some scenes I feel that Tin reacts as if he is in visible pain just to talk to certain characters and that gave me a chuckle. I ain’t saying it was intentional; it’s how it appeared to me

In conclusion, this is one of the best series with a time loop plot with great actors and an interesting story that will keep you hooked.
