Mystique in the Mirror Episode 1

What I way to start a series...

Great / interesting way to start the series, lets hope it stays interesting as it goes on....
So far my thoughts on the 1st ep....

1. That is not his dad, that is the dream world, that I think maybe the Doctor doing something to him like hypnosis on him making him think he is his father just so he can get answers about the old man, because no father would be that way to his son, plus he just feels off.
2. The hospital is real, though I think there is more to there than they have said so far, Win feel a bit knowing I guess would be a way to say it, I'm not sure how to say what I am feeling about him better than that.
3. The old man I'm still not sure what is up with him, He wants Alan to remember, but what is the question, also he wants him to come back to him, um, Where is the question, and Who the heck are you is another one... Time will give more and maybe then I will have a better idea on him.

Dark, Haunting, and Unforgettable: A Unique Start to Mystique in the Mirror

I was completely lost during the first ten minutes, so I had to pause and read the plot summary. That was the best decision I made because everything made so much more sense afterward. My biggest tip for anyone starting this series is to read the synopsis first. It doesn’t spoil anything, but it gives you the right context to understand Alan and what’s actually happening.This is the first time I’ve seen Tou in a leading role, and his performance as Alan absolutely blew me away. He’s intense and expressive, showing fear, confusion, and raw emotion with every scene. There’s one shower scene that stood out not just for his perfect physique but for how terrifying it felt because of the mirror. The combination of vulnerability and fear was brilliant.Pentor as Win finally got his time to shine after acting in so many supporting roles, finally got a main role in this series, and even though he only appeared briefly, I could already feel the chemistry between him and Tou. It’s a pairing I didn’t expect to work this well, but it does.The series opens with a dark, chilling atmosphere that immediately pulls you in. The haunting score, eerie visuals, and strong cinematography create a sense of unease that doesn’t let go. It’s intense, psychological, and slightly terrifying.This is my first BL with a visual hallucination and mental hospital setting, and I love how different it feels from the usual light, fluffy stories.I genuinely don’t recommend watching this alone at night like I did because it left me staring nervously at my own mirror afterward. But despite the fear, I’m completely hooked.For anyone who felt lost after watching the first episode like I did, don’t give up or judge it too quickly. The confusion is part of the experience, not a flaw. If everything were explained right away, the mystery and tension that make this genre so captivating would disappear. Mystique in the Mirror is meant to leave you questioning and uneasy, that’s what makes it so intriguing. Personally, I thought the first episode was executed really well and perfectly captured the tone of a true psychological BL.If the next episodes keep up this level of mystery, emotion, and tension, Mystique in the Mirror could easily become one of the most unique BLs of the year.
