It Has It all
I wasn’t ready at all—the first episode felt like the climax already! I was hooked from the start. I’m a sucker for time-travel stories, and having Pond in the lead just made it even better. He’s one of my favorite BL actors. I’ve seen him in Century of Love, 180 Degree Longitude, and Fourever You, and he always blows me away with his acting.I also have a soft spot for complex plots and heavier themes, so Reset really hit the mark. Plus, I love series where actors play actors—like Top Form and My Stand-In. It’s always interesting to get a glimpse into what it’s like behind the scenes of the industry, even in a fictional way.

Characters:
Armin – A well-known actor at the peak of his career. But right after winning a best actor award, he catches his boyfriend cheating—with his best friend. A fight breaks out, and Armin accidentally falls to his death. When he wakes up, he's on a film set as an extra. Turns out he’s somehow traveled back from 2025 to 1999.
Thada – A rich, powerful chairman of an artist agency. In 2025, he secretly admired Armin from afar but never had the courage to approach him. Now that Armin and him back in 1999, Thada isn’t wasting the chance to bring him into his life.

This series gives a great look into the showbiz world—its cutthroat competitiveness, the struggles of rising stars, and the personal battles that come with it. Thada’s conflict with his stepbrother adds more drama, but what really stands out is how protective and supportive he is toward Armin. It's so heartwarming to watch.
Their connection does feel a little rushed, though. It’s like Thada is completely whipped in both timelines, haha. But I love their sweet moments—they’re what I live for! Their chemistry is so palpable. 💖
One thing I noticed: there are a lot of villains in this show. The main one, Thiwthit, is… intense. I can't tell if I’m annoyed by his over-the-top acting (though maybe that’s how his character was written?) or just amused. I keep thinking about his role in I Will Knock You, the series every time he shows up on screen. It’s complete 180 in his character here in Reset, lol! What a versatile actor.

As for the time-travel element (2025 and 1999 eras)—it’s cool and well executed, from their costumes, to their dumb phones and also cinematography.
Reset is a brilliant time-travel BL. Great production, amazing cast, beautiful cinematography, and strong performances all around. Huge kudos to everyone involved!

Entertaining from start to finish
This is one of those shows that was excellent from start to finish without a dull moment. I loved it. The acting and chemistry between the leads was on fire and the supporting characters were good too. The store line was an interesting concept and I have to say this is one of my favorite BL series from 2025 so far.Was this review helpful to you?

The idea was great but …
First I need to say I really wanted to give this show a chance, but it sadly didn‘t work for me. The idea of the story was really great, like going back in time to fix and change the way you life went. I liked that a lot. Sadly the writing couldn't finish where they started it, and the villain was too simple and one-dimensional.But I need to say I liked the main couple; they both did a good job, and the chemistry was there; I could feel it. I think the biggest issue was the music and intensity that never went away. There were some scenes that weren't that dramatic, but the music always sounded like the world would end. So at one point I was just annoyed by the music and felt nothing.
The worst scene for me was when Armin got shot. Like, how could he survive a shot in the heart and also have no scar, nothing, like it never happened? What the hell? That sends me completely off.
The ending was underwhelming, and I was just happy when I finally finished it.
I think the idea was great and the acting as well, but the writing just didn‘t work, so everything fell apart at some point, sadly.

✨My Review on RESET ✨
Far so good, we’ve finally come to the end of Reset, and I just want to share a few thoughts—no spoilers, I promise!Let’s start with Armin’s side—his point of view really says a lot. The mistakes he made in life, the choices he couldn’t take back... it hit hard. It shows us that sometimes we make the kind of mistakes we later wish we could go back and fix. But the truth is, we may never get that second chance. Instead of waiting to regret, it’s better to change now.
But here’s the twist: even when Armin does get that second chance, some things—karma, fate, whatever you call it—still repeat. That makes it even more emotional. The fact that he went 26 years into the past is WILD. Like… my head was spinning!
Then we have Thada (TD). What a sweet, caring soul. The fact that he remembered what Armin did for him as a child? That really showed how deeply he felt for him. There was one episode where I just knew he came back to the present, and boom! I was right. My instincts were SCREAMING.
Honestly, trying to review this without giving spoilers is so hard because there’s so much I want to say 😭 but yeah—this story isn’t just about time travel. The love story, the pain, the healing—it’s all so real. It’s like something that could happen in a celebrity’s life. The whole “past and present” thing just makes it hit harder.
Reset isn’t just a BL series—it’s an emotional ride full of lessons, regrets, second chances, and love that stays even across timelines.

Very Good!
This is an amazingly watchable romantic melodrama. The cast, especially the leads, are extraordinarily good. The main couple’s charisma and chemistry is off the chart, bonkers brilliant. The supporting players are also great. And everyone looks like a movie star!The pacing is also good, especially for a Thai BL, and the high-concept premise is worn lightly. This is fundamentally a deeply enjoyable love story.
My only quibble is the villain. He feels miscast, his acting is hammy and he implausibly shifts from idiot to evil genius episode-by-episode.
Other than that, this is a real top-notch production. Do yourself a favour and watch it!

One of the, if not The Best BL of 2025: Romantic, Fantastic, and the Acting is Superb!
Miracles and second chances are quite rare, so if you're given one, make sure to make the most of it. Armin faced all the odds in his life just to die miserably, and then, the reset happened. A revenge script that drives the story on a clear path and exciting plots. These factors already win me over, but having Pond and Peter as the main characters, with their incredible acting performances, is the icing on the cake! I’m dying from the sweetness and high-tension chemistry that these two have for each other.Romance is all over the scenes. This drama offers a variety of romantic scenes that build up more satisfaction and enjoyment for the viewers. The rooftop scene during the earlier EP was so entertaining. Tada slowly enters Armin’s life, a moment of flirting and an intention to develop feelings. When they quarrel, they are still composed and gentle with each other. They became so cute too when they are jealous. But the best part…
Best in execution of intimate scenes that resonate love, hotness, and allow themselves to be part of one another. We got plenty of kisses and more than kiss scenes. Yet, my favorite scene was the jacuzzi one. They are devouring each other like there’s no tomorrow.
Aside from these, the show delivered a well-written plot which were either crazy or unexpected. I still remember how fascinating it was when Armin recognized Tada as his first fan club. And Tada’s life crumbled when Armin died in his first life. That connection! Despite Armin going back to the past and walking on a thread by almost dying numerous times, there is no unforeseen plot other than Thiwthit having a romantic feeling for his stepbrother, Tada. This is so extra, but it explains how much his obsessiveness leads to his miserable path. He is such a perfect villain, but I’m laughing whenever he gets overly mad and keeps kicking.
Tada as the man of the century. Aside from being a rich and generous boyfriend, his heart is so genuine, too. He loves to treasure every single moment and even things he got from Armin. Doing such extravagant efforts just to make his baby happy. Wenai is the backbone of Tada’s gimmicks. I love the boss-bodyguard relationship. He is always in the middle of his boss’s love ideas and sometimes catches the couple in their act of love. Plus, he is supermanly and handsome too, the Superman of Thailand.
Talk about that gorgeous OST, which also added more emotion to the drama. iQIYI gives their all into producing such an amazing and high-quality BL. The casts were all perfect for their respective roles. Everyone did an extraordinary portrayal of their characters.
A beautiful ending to one of the best Thai BLs I’ve watched. I am hoping to see more Pond and Peterpan in one drama as the main couple. These two are a total gem in the industry. I can’t get over how sync they are and bring Armin and Tada to life. May we all find someone who loves us the same way Tada and Armin love each other.

Incomparable
Incomparable to other series. Simply perfect. Storyline is complex, but flows nicely, characters are well written, nature and scenery is beautiful, actors did an amazing job. Chemistry wise hard to compare to other actors who are in already established couples. Both on screen and off screen Peterpan and Pond know and understand each other that is why their chemistry is overflowing on screen. They trust each other.Since the very beginning of the series and until the ending there is very little I would change and we finally get an ending that is not forced upon us, an ending that actually makes sense to all.

Tada raises the standard for every Top

I Was Not Enamored
I honestly was not enamored with this series. I have a difficult time with movies and series trying to make gay life ‘perfect’. This even went beyond that. It gave an individual an opportunity for a second chance to relive his life. A do-over. What the series called a reset. But frankly, I was unsure why he deserved a do-over nor did I think he deserved one. It was simply baffling. He reached a pinnacle in this life for which most of us will never accomplish or attain or even dare to dream about. My issue with this series has nothing to do with the acting, per se. Yet it is the supposition itself I have a problem with. One must begin to question what were we watching then? Did it feel real? I had to decide that it obviously was not and therefore this was all a dream, an illusion. It was too perfect; too quixotic. Overall, I simply found this series rather predictable and at times trite. While I certainly get its hypnotic attraction, I just could not get into it with any sense of realism. I for one am getting tired of seeing gay love being portrayed as something that is not attainable in this life.Was this review helpful to you?
