The parts are greater than the whole
Beautifully shot and directed with studied care by Natthaphong Wongkaweepairod, "Reset" boasts two luminescent leads and a strong supporting cast. If it doesn't quite produce gold from the material and personnel available to it, it still makes for many entertaining moments.The principal theme of redemptive second chances is muddied somewhat by the nature of what its lead, the aspiring actor Armin (Pond Ponlawit Keprapakorn), has to face and overcome. Here, in this series, Armin struggles to succeed in the face of professional jealousy, nepotism and sexual predators. Many will find something credible and comparable to their own work experiences in this list; but writer/director Natthaphong throws into the mix a demented villain, Thiwthit, played in a pantomime fashion by Bom Tanawat Uthaikitwanit.
What sustains "Reset" is the considerable acting power of Pond in the lead role. Such is his ability, he could perform scenes convincingly on his own, without any other actor on screen; but here he is supported ably by Peterpan as his love interest. The resulting scenes between them are enough to justify anyone watching this series, although herein lies the problem. The beauty and emotional force of the scenes between the lovers tilt the drama in a way that makes the remainder a chafing distraction by comparison.

I came back to love you.
Their love story is what I hope to have.Just like the title, Reset, has the usual plot for time travel series. But for me, what separates it from others is that, given it has a bit of a sci fi thing, it also involves mystery, and action that will surprised you.
Their chemistry is top notch. It exceeds my expectations and I feel fulfilled after watching the series. It didn't have that much "ad" commercial scenes, so in a sense, it didnt feel forced to insert sponsors or ads.
So, all in all, it is really worth watching and getting the highest rating for BL.

Good Quality
I picked up Thai BL drama after so many days and I am glad Reset pulled me out of my slum. The story, acting, filmography and visuals were so good.I absolutely loved Thada and Armin's character. So much affection, admiration and love they had for each other was so good. I wanted a scene where Armin finds out Thada is also from future and how his life ended after Armin was killed. I wanted that rawness of emotions where Armin realizes Thada not only loves him now but he loved him silently in his previous life. I do guess we got closure seeing how Armin recognizes TD from the watch but still it would have been great to see him understanding how Thada also resetted his life only for Armin.
The overall story was great. Fresh and unique concept from Thai industry. Acting was superb. Big shout out to Armin's hair. I am jealous of those locks.
Their lovey-dovey scenes were great but fun scenes were where Thada was jealous of some actor having to kiss Armin for the role and Thada panicking for the prop knife. I especially loved how even after knowing it was a prop knife Thada did not want Armin to stab himself with that knife. That scene melted me.
I would love to see these 2 actors again in new BL. I would highly recommend this drama if you wanna watch something short, mysterious and intriguing with that magical touch of BL.

Yes, Pond!
What I thought of the series: This is my fourth series with Pond and this is probably one of my favorites with him. :)I was surprised that I liked the series. When you look forward to Monday nights because of a series, it means the series is good.

If everybody have a person like TD who is supportive and taking care Armin all time, will be great.
Not too many NC scene, a simple story with great valve. Must watch

The lil thing that was kinda off balance was TD's step brother, there wasn't any real character buildup, I was blown away at his abrupt confession of loving Tada, as how?, since when?😲, that outburst was supposed to be for Narin, not the story trying to redeem the so-called step brother but that's that.
This drama is really really good, words are cheap to explain it, it's the second Thai bl that has made feel, after Thamepo 😭.
I love Reset so much
The actors (Pond and Peter), their acting is just out of this world 🤭

Great Chemistry- Worth the Watch
I have to say this is one of the better BL series I've watched. It has such good tension and chemistry between the MCs, and I love the idea of reincarnation stories. The fact that these are all young new actors amazes me how well they did. I was totally immersed in their love story. That being said there were Pros and Cons of course.Here's my take:
Pros:
The lead couple was dynamite. Everything about their interactions felt honest and they worked really well together.
The music was well timed and fitting
The little bonus episodes in between were fun and interesting
The villains did a good job making you dislike them
Janine- perfection
Lily- hilarious and evil
Thada- CEO daddy vibes on point
Armin- That smile *swoon*
Cons:
Bom is too damn cute to be a villain- I said it. Would love to see him in MC role- definitely cinnamon roll potential
The makeup on the older versions of the actors didn't work at all- Especially Armin (those glasses did him no favors and he is very handsome)
The scenes where someone gets shot or injured should have resulted in more serious injuries- the placement on the body of the gunshot would have killed him for sure- that fall from the distance they show should have killed him for sure- a bit unbelievable that he survived.
Overall definitely in my top 3 for this year.

Romantic
A very good romantic BL. It was cute,spicy and romantic. The only issue I had with the plot was that the villains are too childish. Like felt no threat from them and always felt that the two couple would come out of their schemes without any scratch. But I like the romance so much. Made me squeal like a little girl. The acting also was very good. I like Pond's acting. He has good looks, acting skills and tea body.Was this review helpful to you?
What a gem from Thailand, full of cuteness, fluffyness, romances, music, story and acting.
One thing i am really tired of is straight actors playing gay characters. And straight people baiting BL industry to earn name and fame like metawin and virachit. And after earning name and fame saying bye to the bl movies. BL series and movies should hire gay actors more. Now let's talk about the series : I won't this is finest BL drama but this is one of the best rom-com bl drama from Thailand. Those kisses, promises. And the way Tada loves Armin, omfg. Every hay people deserve lover like Tada. This series is full of Cuteness, fluffyness, romantics, and less revenge and thriller. One of the best thing of about this drama is lead character getting screen time almost 99% percent. We should thanks to makers for giving them so much screen time coz of that we could enjoy their acting, romance and great story. Also for this as well coz we watched the drama coz of the story of lead character. Yes side character and story is important but in BL world i always prefer love, romance, NC, good story, good acting, great chemistry, and great music. Chemistry of lead character is fire. Acting is top notch. From playing top to playing bottom, pond can play different i can sense coz most of bl actor have dull acting, no facial expression, no body language except face with too much makeup. And i did like the factor that pond is tied with one male actor and playing top as always which done by GMMTV. They should give chance to explore, try different characters with different actors. Overall perfect 10/10 drama. They have everything. Best BL drama of 2025. I want to write so many things coz this drama have so many positive sides. This drama is second best drama of mine after revenged love. Hats off to the writer, director and actors. Loved this drama. I can go on like this but i would stop here. I hope u will enjoy this drama and whoever going to watch in future u will enjoy this drama i am fucking sure.Was this review helpful to you?
The best bl series after a very long time for me.
“What an amazing series! I never thought I would love a Thai BL, because you know they are usually too much for me — sorry to say that. But this… oh my God. It won my heart. You can truly feel their love, and their acting is the best. I didn’t want to miss a single second on the screen. I loved it so much. Their chemistry is top-notch, and I really hope we can see them together again.”Was this review helpful to you?
Chemistry off the charts
This was a really amazing drama. I loved the story, it had angst, sadness, and even some funny moments.The visuals were stunning and the OST was beautifull. Almost all actors did a great job. The only flaw and reason why i gave it 9/10 was the acting of the actors who played Lilly and Thiwthit. Their acting was just too much over the top and because of that they did not make good villains.
And wow Pond and Peterpan are gorgeous! Their Dynamics and chemistry are off the charts, this is a match made in heaven. I have not seen many couples that are so perfect together. Finally two ML who are both great kissers, the kiss and bed scene's were amazing.
This drama is a real must watch, i will definatly watch it more times in the future.

Worth watching it
I love the whole plot, including their love storyBut yet I have a question to all the novel readers, why didn't Thada revealed that he was born as well to Min?
Overall, I recommed every BL series lover to watch this Thai Lakron, its totally worth.
Its almost 4 am and I just finished watching it and I will reach it someday again.
