Worth Watching Gem
This series is a gem. I honestly regret not watching Reset while it was still ongoing, but at the same time, I'm glad I waited—because binge-watching it was such a treat. From start to finish, the storytelling had me hooked. What I loved the most is how cinematic it felt; it was like watching a well-crafted movie rather than a series packed with product placements. The acting was top-notch, and the chemistry between Armin and Tada? Off the roof! Their dynamic pulled me in and made every scene with them electric. If you haven’t seen Reset yet, don’t wait—this one’s absolutely worth it.Was this review helpful to you?

Wholesome and Beautiful
For me this series is like a spring. After a long time, I have a series which brings a great story, fulfilling scene, visual candies, melodious song and great side actors too.The best feast for my eyes is obviously the handsome and pretty actors. Specially Pond, every moment with Pond was filled with beauty. He is for sure a great actor too, you can feel his acting in his eyes. The pairing for lead actors was amazing. Watching Peterpan for a 1st time, I am so satisfied.
The arc of friendship, loyalty, unconditional love, longing, sadness, jealousy, forgiveness even hatred is portrayed in a great way. I personally loved every second of series.
In this series the lasting impressions for me was, how one can love someone so much, that they even die of heartbreak. The love of Tada is not cherry on the cake, it's the whole cake.
My favourite side actor secretary Veynai, brings such a screaming moments for me and equally funny too. Every actor did amazing job. I even loved the actor behind villian, he did such a powerful acting of jealous brother, and shown that feeling behind all those action, though it shocked me greatly knowing his intentions towards his brother, but atleast it brings the justice to his madness.
Finally I can totally recommend this series, you will love it, it's more than worthwhile.
I think this series deserved even higher rate. This is my 1st time leaving a comment of any series.
I specially made account here, so that I could write how beautiful creation this series is and will be in future too.
Go ahead, watch it, because you will always crave for this series to watch again as a first timer.

1Excellent chemistry and beautifully acted, BUT wasn't expecting it to be so romance-focused
“Reset” started out with one of the better and more memorable ep. 1 that I’ve seen in a long time. It was explosive, intriguing and set the stage up really well for the rest of the drama. It made you want to hit “Play Next Episode” right away. I had high expectations after that first episode, and especially knowing Pond and PeterPan did not disappoint in the acting department.Acting
The acting of the leads is probably one of the biggest strengths of the drama. Pond and PeterPan have proven themselves in other projects and they’re amazing here. Their chemistry was sizzling and each emotion was well-acted. The rest of the cast did pretty well, except for maybe Bom, who played Thiwthit (Tada’s brother). I found him overreacted and made his character a little cartoonish. But overall, “Reset” is one of the few Thai BLs where acting is not a weakness.
Romance
I was quite surprised how romance-focused this drama is. As much as I love romance, it was a little too much and some scenes and lines are too cheesy and cringey for me. But it’s without a doubt that Tada and Armin’s love story is beautiful, heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I love all the kisses and both Pond and PeterPan are so comfortable with each other that each touch, each breath and kiss really convey a lot of emotions. Their love scenes are shot beautifully and tastefully, full of sensual and passionate energy. But I do feel tired of the use of slower motion and the constant blasting of the ‘romantic music’. It doesn’t matter if they are hugging, kissing, gazing into each other’s eyes, the ‘romantic music’ will come on every single time. Sometimes, I wish I could just hear the silence and their breaths (which J-dramas do really well). If you love romance, you are in it for a treat from start to finish. You will find Tada as the perfect boyfriend who doesn’t mind giving and giving and giving. I actually want him to be less forgiving and giving, and want him to make Armin grovel and beg for longer.
Plot
I initially thought “Reset” will focus more on revenge, finding out why Armin’s death happened and trying to change the past. The drama did some of that, but as mentioned, romance took up the bulk of the screen time. The first half of the drama did a good job in balancing all those elements but the second half is when I was disappointed. Two characters killed Armin in 2025, yet in 1999, all he did was hook them up? That’s it? That was so anticlimactic! Where was the investigation of the murder? Where was the revenge? After Tada became a lovesick puppy, this Chairman does not need to work anymore. The balance of business + family fights + Armin’s second chance in life is lost. I felt that the ending also did not tie up all the loose ends. What happened to Tada’s flashbacks? Why did they happen and what significance do they have to Tada’s memories? Tada never really questioned Armin’s second life story, why? Instead of spending so much time on the romance, the writers could have closed out this drama on a better note.
Despite my complaints, I can’t deny I had a great time watching “Revenge”. I just wish the second half was as strong as the first half, especially when I love the first episode so much. I might have complained about the romance, but I DO love it. The chemistry between the leads is undenying and sizzling hot. I can’t help but have a smile and grin on my face, and they make me happy (maybe just shudder a tiny bit). The acting is excellent and the cinematography is great. I love the theme song even though it’s the only song and was overplayed. Unfortunately, I can’t give this higher than an 8.5. I was hoping “Reset” would end up being one of my top 5 BLs, but it didn’t make the cut. I will still recommend this drama, but not for those who don’t like romance plots.
Other Random Observations;
1. There are many scenes of beautifully sculpted abs and torsos. Hello PeterPan!
2. Thank goodness the ugly wig only showed up in one episode.
3. I also noticed it failed to change back to the ugly wig in a few of the flashback scenes.
4. PeterPan has a beautiful voice. He can sing “Happy Birthday” to me anytime.
5. On the flip side, piano boy/singer does not have a good singing voice and I don't like Pond's speaking voice. LOL

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.

Playing with our minds?
🌪 RESET – Episode 6 Breakdown & TheoryWe’re past the halfway mark – Episode 6 out of 10.
And this is how you build a show that speaks to the heart, the mind, and every possible sense.
The creator – A. Natthaphong Wongkaweepairat – who both wrote and directed it, is simply a genius.
Every episode is precise, every clue is in place, and every emotional beat hits like a punch.
And what they did in this episode?
It was clear it was time to connect us even deeper to the couple –
and they gave us a full episode for that: emotional, bold, and focused –
with no distractions and nothing unnecessary.
💞 The intimate scene:
There was an intimate scene with a certain boldness,
but it didn’t go too far – it was emotionally accurate.
I didn’t need another over-the-top scene.
Just emotion. A smart script. Precise direction.
The little moments – the look, the breath, the touch –
were a thousand times more powerful than any dramatic editing.
And of course –
Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn (Armin) and Peterpan Tadsapon Wiwitawan (Thada) –
two incredible actors.
Their emotion breaks through the screen.
I believe them in every second –
and that’s the difference between a good actor… and one you never forget.
🌈 Emotional breakdown:
This episode felt like the calm before the storm.
And the reveal that they knew each other as kids? It destroyed me.
I felt in my heart there was something deeper –
and it came at exactly the right moment.
And now... we’re all scared.
Because the big hit is still coming.
💡 My theory:
I don’t see multiple theories –
I’m connecting everything into one complete arc.
And my heart is not ready.
🧠 Here’s what will happen:
Everything will lead us back to the beginning –
to the party at Armin’s house, just like in Episode 1.
But this time… something is different.
Thada is there.
The dynamic has changed.
But still – something terrible happens.
Poisoning? A push? An accident?
Either way – Armin dies again.
And that will be the end of the dream.
💥 Then:
Pond as Armin wakes up in shock – in a hospital.
Lying down, gasping, confused.
He turns his head –
and sees Peterpan as Thada, shocked by Armin waking up.
Armin hugs him tight.
And Thada hugs him right back.
And everything becomes clear.
Everything we saw was a coma dream.
Every conversation, every emotional connection, every moment –
was a psychological process Armin created while unconscious.
🧩 The clues were there from the start:
"Don’t talk about your death… the pain is so strong I can’t breathe."
"I’m scared this is just a dream… and I’ll wake up."
This wasn’t imagination.
It was Armin processing what Thada was actually saying to him
as he sat beside him in the hospital bed.
🙏 The third wish?
Thada will wish for Armin to wake up.
To come back to their life.
To their reality.
And Armin?
At first, he won’t understand.
But then… he’ll open his eyes –
and realize it all… was his dream.
And that. Will. Destroy. Us.

My Stand-In vibes — but it never quite got there for me
The premise has something — a famous actor who dies on the night of his greatest success, betrayed by the person closest to him, and then gets to go back. Time resets, a mysterious fan enters the picture, and the road to the top begins again. There's emotional potential in that setup, and the intimate scenes actually delivered.But the series never pulled me in the way I needed it to. It reminded me of My Stand-In in its basic DNA — the second chance, the identity questions, the love complicated by circumstances that shouldn't exist — but where that series at least held me through its messier moments, this one lost me early and didn't find me again. By the end very little had stayed, and I wouldn't go back for the pairing alone.

100% A MUST WATCH
I Hardly Ever Give A 10/10, Especially Before Finishing. But This Series Deserves It & More.!It Has Something For Everyone. Mystery, Action, Romance, Fantasy & The Thrill Of NC Scenes.
Pond, Having Just Given Us A Series As A Top Is Showing Us His Vercatility By Playing As A Bottom Here.
Peterpan, Finally Stepping Into An MC Role For The First Time (Correct Me If I’m Wrong) Is Absolutely Nailing It.!
Not Only Did They Do Their Big One On Terms Of Looks, Special Effects & Music, But The Acting Gives You A Feel Of Everyones Emotions. The Way That Thada Feels For Armin Speaks To Me The Most. I Highly Recommend This Series.! Let’s Give It The Credit It Deserves. ❣️ (Thanks For Taking The Time To Read 😉)

i’ve never anticipated for a bl series in such a long time until i came across reset, dare i say.. SERIES OF THE YEAR!!! the cinematography, acting, plot, cast, EVERYTHING IS JUST PEREFECT 😭cast so fine i can’t concentrate sometimes because their face cards are LETHAL 🫣 the cinematography is just beautiful, especially during certain scenes which i shall not spoil 💗 as for the acting, it is AMAZING. armin is played by pond ponlawit, where some of you may know him from 180 degrees and fourever you the series! his visuals are INSANE and the cherry on top is his TOP TIER ACTING 🫠 and as for thada, he is played by peterpan tadsapon, where some of you may know him from my cherie amour and oh my sunshine night the series! just like pond, his visuals are SERVING and to top it all up, his acting is very splendid 😭 this series is very well executed as there are no unnecessary NC scenes and the first few eps are just armin and thada yearning for each other. in the later eps we get to slowly see how their feelings progress. additionally, the communication between thada and armin is just so touching and sensational (really well done to panpond for portraying their characters so well!)
if you start this series, good luck to you since once you start, you can’t stop 😔 each episode would keep you hooked, making you want to continue watching again and again 🫢 as for now, 6/10 eps have already aired! you can watch reset on iqiyi app, and a new ep gets released every monday at 10:45 pm (gmt + 8) 💕

A piece of cinema
This was a such a god show-. I enjoyed it from start to finish.This is not to say that it did not have its issues. i will start with the positives:
_ the cast was amazing- Pond and Pan had great chemistry. There was no time that i was bored when they were on screen together. The supporting cast was also great. I found the villains a bit comical- I could not take the revenge plot seriously-
I have seen Pan and Pond in different shows- I loved that Pond got this role after he was in Fourever you- I felt that show did not really show his acting versatility and abilities. In this show we had a range of emotion from him. His character at times was a bit annoying when he kept referring to the future that he came from knowing that people around him did not have that insight.
TD what a man- he was amazing- i loved how he really embodied that character. He was in oh my sunshine and he stole the show with rain. I am really pleased that he has had this opportunity to show case his acting range.
Overall this show was a good watch- Would i rewatch not the whole thing but maybe certain episodes like 5/6 -8.
The writers changed some of the factors in the book but it was in a positive way for TV, it needed the xtra drama and spice.

Reset Did NOT Disappoint
I started Reset for Pond, but I did not expect to fall this hard for the story — or Peterpan’s character! It was my first time seeing him act, and he completely stole my heart. The chemistry between the main leads was unreal. Pond was incredible, as always. But TD (Thada!) became an unexpected fave, also Janine was the sweetest support system ever, and Veynai was my secretary crush! He had me smiling every time he showed up.What I loved was how much care went into everything — the little details, the side characters, the pacing, and most of all, the ending. Everyone got the love and closure they deserved. I did pause before the last two episodes (because I was afraid that episode 9 would wreck me), but finishing it was so worth it. Big love and respect to the entire cast and crew — Reset is such a gem. 💙
