This is worth your time
I really love this BL series! It features one of the best hospital settings I’ve seen in any show. While Tin seems stuck in a time loop during the first few episodes and some scenes are repeated, I understand they were necessary to help viewers fully grasp the story.Every episode is exciting, with no dull moments, and each character portrays their role exceptionally well.
The plot twist is unpredictable when Tin also dies in different time loops instead of Tol.
The only downside is the ending - kinda rush. It could be better if Tin and Tol would spend more time together (being a happy couple) or there is a sequel where they spend life together as a happy couple.
Nevertheless, I still recommend this series.

The most accurate medical series
Triage is overall ten out of ten. The plot and the acting is so good. 10/10 recommended. The fact that I just find out that the actors actually participate in medical training workshop behind the scenes amazed me. I say, the romance isn't actually a lot but the story line is so addicting that it just makes you feel impatient after each episodes end. Every single time I finish watching one episode, I keep continue watch the next episode because I keep dying to kmow what happen. Trust me, you will never feel bored watching this series.Was this review helpful to you?
I was INSTANTLY hooked
I didn't watch BL dramas for two years and was looking for a BL for days before I found Triage and got hooked immediatly. Amazing production. Great music. Good plot. Amazing cast and great chemistry between the lead actors. Triage has everything. If you're looking for a mystery, time loop romance with lots of suspense THIS IS IT girl. I started episode one of this series and could not stop watching. When I saw that the lead couple was Tee and Tae I was sooo beyond thrilled (and kinda nostalgic too, lol!). Everyone could sense the potential of these guys when they were starring in 2 moons and what a pleasant surprise to see them act as a main couple on such a high-quality production!You will 100% enjoy watching Triage! xxx

definitely worth watching
I grew up on soap operas in the hospital environment. When I saw someone recommend this show on reddit, I did not hesitate and started watching right away. The story kind of blew my mind, really. I got so caught up with the characters and everything. not only it made me tear up, it made me full on cry multiple times. Not going to lie, I might have even felt some butterflies in my stomach. The character development was certainly there and the plot was catchy. I wanted it to end so bad, but at the same time I wanted more and more. I really enjoyed watching this show and would only recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
It could have been so much more (no spoilers)
(English is not my main language! - sorry)I’m a bitch for Groundhog Day kind of stories so this was right off my alley
The beginning idea is incredibly clever and well thought out… for the first few episodes
This series major flaw is exactly this: at one point the story gets completely lost. It changes so radically that it’s impossible not to think that when they started recording they still didn’t write the ending .
It’s rushed and so different from how the story began considering also that it feels (especially in the last episode) like we - the viewer - are missing some important scenes.
I cannot think of another adjective if not “rushed” for this story because at one point it truly feels like they are trying just to end it, and I have a theory for it: the story was too complex
Don’t get wrong I LOVED how complex it was and if they made this story longer i would have 100% watched it in it’s entirety, but the problem resides exactly here, it wasn’t long. They had to condense an incredibly elaborated story in few episodes, that’s why they completely lost it at one point
Another problem were the characters
the main love-lead is as plain a plank of wood and the side characters are everything but consistent
Now i know I criticised this series a lot but even after everything I physically cannot hate it or even just dislike it. Maybe it’s because of the actors (i loved them in 2moons at the time) or maybe it’s because the plot idea was so cool that i refuse to think that they fucked it up, but i cannot not like this series
Final thought? Watch it
I think it’s still an experience that needs to be done

Interesting but didn’t stick the landing
I very much appreciate when BL dramas have a unique premise that stands out among the others. In Triage, Tin is faced with a choice in the ER. Which patient to treat first? Either treat a young 22 year old patient reeking of alcohol when years prior Tin’s sister died by a drunk driver. Alternatively, treat an old man also in critical condition. Tin is criticized by the hospital director (Dr. Sak) for being biased in his choice. Like many doctors, he disengages his emotions from his work. After all, people die all the time. This is a significant moment because Jinta “the hospital angel” puts him in a time loop to force him to replay that scenario over and over again when all he wants to do is go home to his cat Zebra. I LOVE ALL THE CUTE CAT MOMENTS. In order to get out of the time loop he must save Tol the 22 year old patient. The story goes on from there.What fell for me is a few things. There is an age gap. I understand that they are both adults but it still didn’t sit right with me. Tol is still in university and Tin is in 3rd year residency at the hospital. I thought I could just ignore it because this happens a lot in BL and I wanted to give the story a chance. Tol is baby to me and he is in a time in his life where he is learning to figure out who he is. Tin sees the mistakes Tol is making in his choices and as he is older and experienced so he teaches him to make better choices. There is an imbalance there as they aren’t portrayed as equal level peers. At some point Tin’s objective is to make Tol his boyfriend and it’s an odd thing to see played out. It’s like Tin is raising Tol by teaching him how to choose right from wrong, tutoring him, and even teaching him how to cook a fried egg and eventually raising him to become a romantic partner. It was weird to me.
There are so many other reasons but the other 2 that stood out to me is the music and the ending. Towards the end of the drama in the most pivotal tear jerker scenes which I won’t spoil here the music didn’t fit right with the scene. It got to the point where it was too distracting for me that it took me out of the moment and all I could hear was the mismatched music swelling in the background. I lost the emotional thred because I was so distracted by the music. And lastly the ending was a mess and it was very rushed. To move the plot long they needed Tol to unlock Tin’s memory (why did Tin lose his memories? Reasons you’ll see when watching the show). Tol tries to make it happen through touch, to failed kiss attempts, and to conveniently make the notebook (filled with records of all the time loop attempts) available and accessible to Tin who looks through it where suddenly visions impress on his mind. It was too easy. Tol was failing to succeed in his mission in helping Tin remember so these things were put in place to moved the plot along. I wish this was done differently and that Tol was smarter about it and had more of a hand in unlocking these memories. Also to shift gears, Dr. Doi descending into madness and insanity didnt makes sense to me at all. Like what? And that whole hostage scene was frustrating to me with Gap who was foolish enough to “rescue” Sing with no strategy or backup. I was also confused how the good guys ended up winning cause the Dr. Sak’s plot line played out off screen. And jumping further to the end of the drama when things calm down the sense of time was confusing as heck. Did months pass? Years?
It feels like I have more issues with this then positives but I do truly think it’s an interesting story just executed poorly at times. I still give it a high rating because I’m glad I watched it and I think the actor’s performance were great. I’m glad I got to see Tee play a main role. It isn’t a perfect drama to me and I don’t think its rewatchable. But, I still think it’s worth your time to watch despite the issues.

Long review, but to summarize the show was good yet frustrating ?
I'm bot going to sleep without having to review this. First, I definitely love the plot the whole story was interesting, it didn't give me a chace to drop this series for the plot. The characters were all amazing, I don't feel cringe upon their actings same with the other factors such as music and production. And what amazed me the most is that I feel like everything was so detailed, the information given about doctor things tho idunno a lot about it, I just feel like it was all detailed. Buuuuut, there was something that frustrates me, aside from it was a cliffhanger on my side tho I know it wasn't hahahs anyways aside from that, there's so much conflict about it😭 i wanna scream like f just dont diiee tge conflict was always repeated😭 it annoyed me a lot u know it was frustrating asf and I demand S2 hahahhahajk but yeah overall the show was worth to watch but im not gonna rewatch this again cause i dont wanna feel frustrated like hell again. I love how the writer triggers me🥲👍Was this review helpful to you?
Good story, great acting, no chemistry, and plot gaps
Idk what the hulabaloo was about. Story was interesting but had its plot gaps. Especially in the end. But, sorry, THERE WAS NO CHEMISTRY. They spent most of the time trying to it make Tin appear like a creep to Tol. Like WE knew Tin wasn’t a creep, but the characters like Tol and co didn’t and we’re rightfully creeped out. There was just never a jump to romance or romantic chemistry. He looked like a creep to Tol and then he looked like less of a creep. And it’s nothing on the plot or acting. The acting was fantastic, the story good, the romance and spark was not. Maybe because of everything else. It was a fantastic time leap show that forgot it was a bl too. I love good stories in BL I hope the greater market sees it and appreciates it. I just selfishly wanted chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
A must watch one... Add it to your list rn if u haven't watched it yet.
Unlike other BL dramas this series has a wonderful plot that carries the whole show forward and I was pretty much amazed by the acting skills of both the leads... They did a wonderful job... The plot revolving around the time loop was well scripted and presented in the way that never bored the audience coz sometimes such scripts if not written well may bore the audience but this deserves an applause... Congratulations to all those who put efforts on bringing up this series so well... On the whole I liked it pretty very much coz i enjoyed watching the series till the end. I personally recommend everyone to watch this series... It's so damn good 👍🏻Was this review helpful to you?

An Emotional Timey Wimey Time
The plot is original and it doesn't fall into a lot of BL trope scenes. The cast was good, and Tae and Tee led the show very well. I didn't feel like anyone was dragging down the show.I think the drawbacks of the show are the music - sometimes it all felt kind of random or weak. And while I loved the time loop idea, it did get a little confusing at times trying to keep the events in order, and during the final loop several previously known facts were changed to ensure certain characters got the endings the creators wanted.
For example - Sing and Gap suddenly dating and Sing being the lead doctor trying to expose Sak. Tol's classmates being suddenly reasonable and Doi going insane.

Surprise gem!
This series was exceptionally good and I'm surprised it's not more talked about though I think it may be because this show seems more like a drama that features a gay couple rather than a BL drama. The main pull to this show is its story. The fact that the main couple in it is two men is secondary to its captivating plot. I remember going back to check to see if it was BL after the first episode (it doesn't jump right in with it guys, but trust me, it's worth it to watch the whole thing).I would say that this show stands out in that it would appeal to people who are not interested in BL dramas. The story is just that good. Jinta, in particular, is a fascinating character and the actor portraying him does an exceptional job. To me, this genre is more drama/mystery/supernatural than BL.
The only negative thing about it is that I feel the end was a bit sudden and rushed but satisfying overall.

It’s really good
So I have been waiting for a series with these two for so long since 2Moons, I was surprised when it came out and I enjoyed it. Let’s get to my opinionSo what made this better was because it was tae and tee, the chemistry, emotions and acting was on par. They both portrayed their characters well and you could feel the emotions behind their actions and it was everything.
The one problem I have is how repetitive it is , it was watching the same thing over and over again which bore me at a point, it was like seeing Tol go through the same thing as tin and I got kinda tired of it.
Apart from that this was good and I wish to see more from them, a different plot of possible.
