The best series of 2025
As girly who's very picky when it comes to watching dramas, RESET THE SERIES really set the standard. From the production, cinematography, storyline, ost, and actors are literally the best especially POND and PETERPAN. Their acting?? Hands down cuz that's LEGIT ACTING, not awkward but actually has the spirit to touch viewers soul. Their chemistry?? Dangg it's off the chart, their pair have so much potential fr. PLEASE CONSIDER TO WORK AGAIN TOGETHER. I've seen so many bl pairs but theirs hits different cuz I feel like I'm disturbing them whenever they are lovey dovey in the series, and I can't help but to kick my feet cuz of too much butterflies 😭😆. Thank you for bringing Armin and Tada into life! Wishing RESET THE SERIES will achieve so many recognition cuz you guys deserves it.Was this review helpful to you?
I have never in my life fangirled as hard as I did while watching this show
This show completely took me by surprise, in the BEST way possible. The male leads were absolutely dripping with chemistry. I mean it. I couldn’t take my eyes off them for a second. Even in scenes that might’ve felt a little cheesy or cringey in any other show, their acting and connection turned it into chef’s kiss perfection. I was kicking my feet and giggling, no shame.And let’s talk about Peterpan. How on earth did he not land a lead role before this?! His acting? Solid. His face card? Never declines. That smile? Instant heart-melter. He’s 100% leading man material, and I genuinely fell for him in this series. I need to see him in everything from now on, and more with Pond too, please!
The concept of the show was also such a refreshing twist in the BL world. It felt like a new flavor, familiar yet totally different. The storytelling had me hooked from start to end. Every actor delivered, the emotions hit, and the pacing never dragged.
This is hands down the best BL of the year for me. If you’re looking for a series that balances great acting, sizzling chemistry, and a unique plot , this is it. And seriously, can we get more PeterpanPond content ASAP? I’m obsessed.

Serving Talent, Tears, and a Mild Case of Injustice
Oh honey, this series? Pure joy from start to finish. It was heartwarming, charming, and had me giggling, swooning, and smiling like a total fool. I didn’t just enjoy it—I fell for it, hard.Now, let’s talk about the real MVP: Pond. My forever fave. He absolutely shined in this role—radiating warmth, charm, and so much raw talent it should be illegal. Every scene with him felt like a soft hug for the soul. I was obsessed before, but now? I’m fully devoted.
But—we need to address the ending. Specifically: Sam. I’m sorry, but he got off way too easy. Sure, Charlie cheated—tragic. But this man literally shoved Armin and had full-on murder vibes from the very beginning. He wasn’t just emotional, he was unhinged. So excuse me, but karma clearly took a nap when it came to him. He deserved way more consequences than just a sad look and some dramatic music. I said what I said.
So yes, I loved this show. I lived for it. But I’m still salty about Sam’s free pass. Justice for Armin. And more Pond, always.

Definitely Award Winning
OMG — “RESET” Had Me in a Chokehold!From start to finish, RESET the Series had me in a tight grip. Captivating, emotional, and flawlessly executed — this show was everything I didn’t know I needed and more. The writing was sharp, the production quality top-tier, and the acting? Simply phenomenal. Every scene pulled me deeper in.
The chemistry between the leads was undeniable. You could feel the love and affection radiating from their eyes — the kind of connection that doesn’t just happen; it’s magic. Every emotion translated through the screen: I laughed until my cheeks hurt, cried like I was living the heartbreak, and got so emotionally invested I caught myself yelling at the screen.
One of the most brilliant touches? The reimagining of Romeo and Juliet through Tada’s grief over Armin’s death. Absolutely genius and deeply affecting.
And can we talk about Tada?! A walking green flag, husband material through and through. The way he protected and cherished his love — chef’s kiss. His portrayal was so convincing, so heartfelt, I honestly wished I was in Armin’s shoes (cinematically, of course!).
As for Armin — what a performance. Pond embodied the role with nuance and charm, especially in taking on a more “wife-like” role. It was finger-snapping good. I genuinely hope we get to see more of this range in his future work, especially alongside Peterpan.
Bravo to the entire team. A massive round of applause and two enthusiastic thumbs up. If you haven’t watched RESET, you’re missing out on a masterpiece.

A high-quality, interesting series that deals with issues of trust and revenge in an amazing way.
This is one of the best series I've seen.It's complex, beautiful, it focuses on very specific things, and in my opinion it doesn't focus on things that other series do pay attention to.
This series is unique. It deals with very complex issues, pain, disappointment and revenge, and at the same time it finds these small and happy moments.
It presents a mature relationship, which contains a variety of emotions and feelings, the characters deal with their challenges well and wisely.
The characters here are more mature, smarter, and show care even in the face of feelings of anger and jealousy.
The main character got a second chance, but she didn't focus only on revenge but on a significant change in her life. I really liked that they fought back against the people who tried to destroy them.
But Armin also gave up his revenge on some of the people who hurt him, and simply found a smarter way to stay away from them.
I really love Thada's character, she has all the amazing annoyances I wish more people in the world had.
The chemistry between the main couple was the best I've seen, it's a stable, mature relationship, they're not shy about showing off their relationship, even when the secretary walks in on them, they don't walk away or pretend like nothing happened. It's amazing to me.
A series I just want to watch again from the beginning.
(Sorry for any mistakes if there are any).

A Series That Breathes With Purpose and Precision
Reset 2025 is nothing short of a cinematic triumph. Every detail—from the writing to the acting to the production—radiates excellence. It feels less like a series and more like an international film crafted by seasoned professionals. The main cast, especially Pond and Peter, deliver profound performances, capturing the essence of their characters with depth and authenticity. Their chemistry is palpable, natural, and magnetic.Pond, in particular, is acting far beyond his years. He doesn’t just play a role — he becomes the character. His ability to dwell within the emotional core of a scene, to convey nuance and intensity with precision, shows a deep understanding of what it truly means to be an actor. I have to applaud him—this is talent, discipline, and passion woven into one.
Yet it’s not just the leads who shine. The supporting cast elevates the story, sometimes stealing the spotlight with their layered portrayals. From First (Ren), Bom, and Intanont (the manager), to Alexander Ty (Veynai), each actor leaves a memorable mark—especially Alexander Ty, whose comedic timing brought a perfect balance to the drama.
This series proves that great storytelling doesn't need to lean on excessive tropes or fan service. Reset 2025 respects its audience, offering a thoughtful and emotionally intelligent experience. It’s a breath of fresh air for mature viewers seeking meaningful narratives.
To the entire cast and crew—your hard work, dedication, and passion shine through every frame. May your craft continue to grow, grounded in authenticity. You’ve created something truly phenomenal.
Bravo.

A Gripping Journey Through Time, Love, and Consequences
Reset is a captivating series that blends striking cinematography with a well crafted script. The narrative follows Armin’s compelling journey as he attempts to navigate and ultimately change his future. While his extended sequences of internal dialogue occasionally slowed the pacing (and was slightly annoying), they also served as a thoughtful device to reveal his process of piecing together the truth and why the people from his past played an important role with all the events that transpired. His repeated references to future events/slang/things felt like his subtle way of signaling to Thada that he truly came from that time, so when those moments eventually unfolded he would see what he’s been saying is true.All the characters are richly developed, each serving a distinct purpose that adds emotional depth and narrative weight to the story. The progression is well paced, skillfully weaving together events from the future and the past, tying up most loose ends and addressing lingering questions. The conclusion felt satisfying and emotionally resonant, providing a strong sense of closure.
That being said, a few questions remain unanswered:
1. What became of Ren, was he ever found? I know he said he wanted to be an actor only, but with all he did what path did he end up on?
2. Was Lilly ever held accountable for her what she was doing to the talents?
3. Did Achi ever break away from Lilly? And if not, did he manage to distance himself from Lilly and come to realize that she had been using him all along?
Overall, Reset is a gripping, emotionally charged experience. It kept me on edge, evoked laughter and tears, and delivered moments of genuine shock. Without question, it stands among the best BL dramas to emerge in 2025.

Not my favorite of "turn back in time" at first. I was kinda "bored" after a few episode. But the fact that it's somehow Tada who turn back in time, at first, got me like it again.
They show well when it was past.
I love the characters, a rich simp and his bestfriend who run from a meeting to buy soy milk. Please Wenai you're the best.
I feel kinda sad for Sam who end up with a cheater... I'm happy they broke up. Plus, Charlie is an asshole who use his photography career to have sex with model...
Please Tiwthit (I'm not sure about his name) take him to a psychatrist, he need professionnal help!
Anyway, chemistry on top, lovestory on top.
The music where amazing, I add a few of them in my playlist!!

What it takes to be a star
This show was so damn good, my god. I would definitely recommend it, and I gave it a 9.2 out of 10. There is a reason the rating is so high on my drama list. Quick thing before we start, because this happens at the start of the show, and I feel like I could talk about it here because it relates to the headline. The saddest part about this show was the fact that Armin didn't die on impact immediately. His final moments were spent getting his picture taken as his head bled out, and no one helped him. Okay, so let's get into it.What I liked about the show. Well the plot started off really strong, and it ended really well as well. They did a good job of filling in the plot holes as the show went. It was really enjoyable and not too much. They had such good chemistry my god. Pond just has good chemistry with everyone for real for real. He is why I was watching this show, and then I ended up staying for him and Wenai. Their chemistry was so good and made the show so fun. The scenes felt so much more real because of their unreal chemistry. What else? I really like what they did with the side characters. I think they did that very well. Like Wenai and Janine were such good additions to this show. Especially their little romance towards the end, which was very cute. Also, the managers weren't like morally good characters, but I think that their developments and stuff like that were very good. They weren’t the main villains, but very good sidekicks and kept me interested in what was gonna happen next. The uncut scenes were also very good, even though I couldn’t really enjoy them towards the end because I was on a plane. I think they were very well done and not really over the top. I might come up with something else, but as of right now, that’s it. This was a really good show. I also really like the connections throughout like connecting the different characters to his present life and also how it was gonna end. I really really like Tada having nightmares and connecting with our boy was a really good addition. It was a little confusing at first and stayed pretty confusing towards the end, but it was still really good and I had fun with that. ALSO I LOVE THAT POND DIDNT CODE SWITCH TO PLAY A BOTTOM.
What I didn’t like there’s not a lot, but it’s kind of like big things. I think starting off the first four episodes, they were good, but I think they could’ve done more with the romance. Because when they kissed for the first time, it felt very rushed and very forced, and I didn’t really like that. Like of course, their chemistry in the plot got better as the show progressed, but I wish they had set their romance up better. Next up is the villains, so like Ren and Thitwit and whoever else were the villains fuck they were ASS. These weird ass temper tantrum crash-outs were the most annoying thing ever and it got old so fast. Also they should have killed off Ren instead of having him go off with his mom. Shit ass way to go out. I also wish they did more with that sexy guy instead of just being like oh he came around. We don’t really know when but he did come around like get out of my face. There's something else but I'm gonna do the overall one first and then come back. I wished they did the time changes better like at the start, i was so confused. I remember the thing I didn't like. I wish they made it feel more 1997 vibe and not just 2025 with flip phones. They needed to play into that a little bit more and that would have brought this amazing show over the top.
Okay! I was here for Pond lmao. The start of this show was great and I was already messing with it right off the bat. Changing unchangeable fate. Tada started growing on me so fast my god. Why did Armin have so many OPPS? I swear a new person was sliding in every minute. Also, the guy who played Wenai is the hottest man I have ever seen in my 18 years on this earth. Armin is so fucking embarrassing i was cringing so much. "Nurse, they let him out again ah look." Was my headline for episode 3. Pond's sexy ass voice I am brought to my knees. His fate started to fall into place when he started to fall for Tada. There were so many misunderstandings in this show and they were getting on my nerves. "I'm trying to be that pool water." Was my caption lmao. These next ones are plane episodes, I think. POND IS SO SEXY I CAN'T. Missed opportunity with ren and thititwit bro. I really didn't understand why all of the hates still hated him? Like it was a destiny to hate him. Episode 8 really pissed me off with all the running around in circles shit, like let's get a fucking move on, you whores. A heavy case of you can't change everything. A dog-eat-dog world, dude. This became a doomed yaoi so fast. TD was supposed to meet ARMIN AND THEN THAT BITCH DIED. I AM GONNA KMS. Wenai and Jaine bro. The whole thing with Thitiwit liking Tada was so weird, but I kind of expected it in a way. The ending was so good, and I am so sad that it is over. Oh my god.
I would 100 percent recommend this show, and I really don't know what I am going to do with myself now. Probably rewatch the show a bunch. Definitely. Okay, well, have a good day. Okay bye!

If I can't escape my fate, will you still love me?
Reset is essentially a if-I-could-turn-back-time type of story. Would we still make the same decisions, having lived through specific outcomes? As the name suggests, Reset offers Armin a new go at his life.I didn’t know what to feel about Tada in the earlier episodes. What we do know is that he’s a fervent supporter of Armin in both of his lives, so this could go both ways – Tada is either super charming or super creepy. Given Tada’s obsession with Armin, he would be kinda creepy if he wasn’t handsome or insanely rich.
But in any case, if we ignore the fact that Tada is way too perfect to be real (and that he’s a slightly creepy fanboy) – the bottom line is that their chemistry works.
Despite the reset, numerous events play out in eerie loops, leaving one with the sinking feeling that we can’t ever truly escape our fate. But even in these doomed cycles, there is hope. Hope that we can right some wrongs, seize the present, and cherish every moment to love someone.
Verdict: Cute couple, slightly creepy(?) storyline. But totally worth the watch.
