Sleeping on Reset? That’s a You Problem!!!!!!!!!
Reset is that show you don’t casually watch — it drags you in and leaves you emotionally wrecked in the best way. The chemistry between the leads? Absolutely insane. It’s natural, intense, and honestly sets the bar way too high for everyone else.Both actors didn’t just perform, they owned their roles. The emotions feel raw, the longing hits hard, and every scene feels like it actually means something. You can tell they put their whole heart into it—and it shows.
And let’s be real, this show has everything: love, passion, drama, heartbreak, and that aching kind of yearning that stays with you. It’s not just a story, it’s a full emotional experience.
If you’re still not watching Reset, that’s on you. Because missing this? Definitely a loss.

Quality Drama with Insane Acting
Reset is about time travel, a very unique concept but not new. The unique aspect is that he gets reborn 20 years ago in 1999, and this affects the way things are filmed. Like many have pointed out there are most likely some setting discrepancies from actually 1999, but as all BL, budgets are not very big and I believe old antiques are pretty pricey or no longer in production. Considering this, I say the production did a pretty good job trying to set up the setting.Story wise, it’s pretty generic, and there may be sometimes where you may be like why they doing it this way. Or you may already know what to expect, they also didn’t give us a very smart villian. Yet why did I rate so highly for story? It’s because of the unique concept, when we usually watch time travels, the question comes to what would you do when you travel in time. What would you change? For Armin, he may have time traveled, but before all the success he had nothing. He may have had the knowledge of certain stuff, but he had nothing to really be using those knowledge for. What he really did was using his years of acting experience to be able to fix certain mistakes he made during his journey to the top and avoid what caused his death. It didn’t really focus on time travel terms at all, as Armin most likely didn’t care or didn’t know. Most importantly I appreciate the extreme focus on Tada and Armin relationship. No side couples, just entire focus on these 2 characters and how they come to love each other.
Acting was top notch, I appreciate the usage of experienced actors and it shows. Intense and electrifying connection is what I would describe the two main lead. Right from the first scene, their eyes can speak, and we can tell what they are thinking. Props to Peterpan, he has extremely control of his facial expressions and you can really feel his emotions based on what expression he was showing. Pond I watched from fourever you the series and he didn’t really stand out, but here he does. He matches peterpan with micro expression, and his beautiful smile which we can tell tada be falling for every sec.
Now the villains, the step bro, he has like a cute face, but he really became a villian that made me not like him. There’s many different types of villains and they didn’t give us a smart one, but they gave us a rapid dog one/psycho. Quite a unique choice for villains I say, precisely because he’s psycho, while he’s not a very smart one, he’s very unpredictable. The hardest folks to tackle are not those are only smart but those who have nothing to lose. He really dug deep into that aspect and we can see how he slowly spirals down the psycho path, because losing his mind at the end.
Productions
I appreciate the change in style of recording, while it didn’t fully feel like they were in 1999. The usage of certain lightings made it unique. The rain scene where Tada catches Armin was my fav. Whoever was doing the BGM, needs to do so for a lot more dramas. The songs he used wasn’t exactly good, but they were very good at when to slow down/stop, which part of the song to use and it really set the mood when I was watching.
Overall:
It’s a high quality BL drama that stands on its own. It has its own unique qualities that differ from other dramas and I would be willing to rewatch from time to time. The intense chemistry between the two MLs had, makes it worth folks to give it a try. I was reading that some folks consider this as cheesy, but maybe it’s because I watched much more cheesier bl dramas before, I didn’t really think it was cheesy at all 😅.

A successful series
The plot is original and well executed. The story is well told, although there are a few slow parts or moments that lack creativity. The twist in the final episode is unexpected — whether it's believable is another question, but it definitely caught me off guard.A major downside: Bom, who plays Thiwthit, delivers a very poor performance. I'm genuinely surprised to see such mediocre acting alongside strong actors in what is likely a big production. His final scene is downright cringeworthy.
All in all, a solid 2025 release.

Tada.... Yes, please!
This was a beauty in storytelling. Everyone did well in their roles but truthfully some shone more than others. Pond, PeterPan, Intanont, Alexander and Bom. Yes, the hate for his character Thiwthit is there but he brought the histrionic psychosis at every turn. I enjoyed watching a series that knew when to end and not dragged on beyond its welcome.The chemistry and skill of Pond and PeterPan sealed Armin and Tada and brought them to life as they meandered through the twists and turns to finally enjoy a future that was meant to be. Tada, as a protective fan turned lover was a joy to see and did set the standard. His mistake to not dealing more harshly with Thuwthit, would cause countless interactions that brought immeasurable pain to their lives. Armin, desparetely determined to avoid previous mistakes, inevitably still did make some in jumping the gun on many occasions which was painful to see. He also did learn not to take the only family he had left for granted in his rise to the top. The dedication and wisdom of Janine and Veynai helped protect Armin and Tada's love while opening a door to theirs.
There were flaws that were tiring at times to view. Hearing Pond say Tada in the most breathy tone as it's the most spectacular name ever, was irritating. Thiwthit's dramatic temper tantrums, though part of his character's mental issues, was a bit over the top. Lilly's bathroom visits were crass and not needed to bring out the crudeness of the character itself. First in the role of Ren was not the best of him and it was lesser than what was expected. How many times can Armin be shot at close range and still live? Hmmm.
I was a very entertaining watch. The action scenes were skillfully done. For the most part production, writing and direction came together cohesively. All bl actors at large, please note how to deliver a believable kiss. Full of passion and desire. A miniscule few match this and it elevated the believability of two people intensely in love. Worth mentioning, the wardrobe dept did not disappoint. It ended nicely on the right note.

I Will Fix the Story
I knew from the trailer when I first seen it, that this one I need to binge. It was a deep feeling in my bones, that this one was going to floor me. And I was right.
It is at the core of the plot, an achingly romantic story.
Armin, spent most of his life battling the entertainment industry, and on the night he finally is recognized, he is both poisoned and pushed over the railing of his home.
When he opens his eyes, he finds himself back in 1999, on the set of his first film. He soon finds himself making friends with a Tada, the CEO of, at the time, the biggest entertainment agency.
Initially Armin just wants to right the wrongs that he endured, and take revenge on the people who abused and murdered him. But as we move through the plot, Armin finds himself falling in love with Tada. Despite being only ten episodes, the relationship didn't feel rushed to me. It felt like a gently unravelling of Armin's pain, as he falls for Tada, and the NC scenes have taken a page out of The Sign's approach. It's sensual and romantic.
What I love, and probably what struck a nerve the most, is how the writing unfolds. It was very beautifully done, and at the end, had me thinking, that perhaps it wasn't Armin who went back to the past, but maybe it was Tada that triggered the time loop, or even a parallel universe.
In the original timeline, after Armin's death, we see Tada in bed, a broken man, wishing that he could go back and change things.
'I would fix the story between you and me'. and then dies, possibly drinking himself to death. (alcohol poisoning)
And Tada fixes it, he instinctively knows when Armin is in trouble, he protects him, he does everything he can to put Armin at the top, as though his own soul was keeping it's promise to no longer watch from afar. He actively stays in Armin's space.
What I would complain about, is simply not knowing what happened to some side characters. They're clearly not there in the future so I can assume they were dealt with, but I would have liked to have seen them face some justice for their actions, esp the talent agent. She needed to be in jail.
The music is beautiful. Sometimes I find in thai bl's, the music can dominate a scene, but thankfully, they knew when and how to use the bgm to intensify the scene rather than overpower it.
After finishing, I had a very deep need to rewatch. And when I did, I was noticing things I hadn't before.
I was alive in 1999/2000 but not in Thailand, so the fashion went over my head the first time. During my rewatch, I picked up more on those little details that were probably trending at the time, esp the heavy eyeliner on some of the actresses.
Overall, this has very quickly become a much cherished BL that I will be rewatching for a while.

We are all mad here !
The basic plot line is about a guy with a serious damsell in distress syndrom and his pimp daddy.Damsell in distress and pimp daddy can probably be a scenario, even though it's rarely an interesting one and this drama is just one more of those. But that's not the main issue.
Most of the characters are non logical. Saved for Jeanine, The Autie Jeed
Also Thada who wants Armin's as... actor skill in bed~~ so it makes sens that he puts through the guy's wired and unrestrain claims that he came back from the future into his past. Put through the guy perpetual tantrums. Put through the fact the guy is bad luck everywhere he goes. I've seen people run away for less than the quarter of the quarter of that.
Which lead us to Armin. The character is annoying and non logical at all. FIrst, it's the base of the drama itself, he has a life falling apart, he was killed and he wakes up 20 years before all the mess with a chance to start everything again ... for the good third of the drama he just complains. No one, if given a second chance in life to start back in his twenties with the knowledge of a 40 year old would be upset about that. Then, he keeps getting angry at everyone for things he knows that the other characters can't be aware of. And not being cold and moody towards them but screaming and making scenes every episode (or twice per episode) . At first, as said, he is a very unknown actor so ... usually you play it cool when you start at the lowest of a job but nope, he just screams at everyone on set. But apparently that's not an issue (mostly because Pimp Daddy has his back)
But he's not the one and only. Lily manager is another crazy tantrum queen. prepare your ears.
ANd then multiple actors who try to achieve fame by ... killing other actors (Armin ... which is understable since the guy keeps on screaming at everyone) but ... dude, if you're behind bars you will hardly become an actor who gets to star in movies. Because they're never discreet about their attempt of murders.
There is so much more. This drama is a catastrophe.

If I reset my only goal would be to make sure this show was made again
Jaw on the FLOOR, brother.Acting:
Good LORD. That is how it is DONE. The casting in this was INSANE. Mr. Pond and Mr. Peterpan, it has been an honor to bear witness to your skills. Why have I seen NOBODY talk about their performances?? The range of emotions they had to depict in this was huge and they nailed every damn one of them. Supporting cast was also amazing with the exception of a couple scenes from Bom that could have been done a little differently in my opinion. I fell in love with so many characters in this. Wenai, my love. Janine, my diva. Narin, my little piano boy. So much love for their performance. BRAVO.
Writing:
I loved that it kept a strong main romance plot intertwined so well with the time travel plot. A lot of stories feel like one aspect is heavily sacrificed for the other but there was a really good balance here. Was there some cringe? Sure, sure. But it was pretty accurate to when we first started using hashtags tbh. We would say some pretty cringe shit back in like 2010 too lol. Was Tada a little theatrical? Sure, sure. But you can’t fault a man whose love language is fireworks. While I was team Janine in that I wanted to see that damn wedding… I do still love the ending too. Scenes flowed well from one to the next, nothing stood out as inconsistent or insanely dumb. Just a damn good story overall.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
Alright, I made sure to put my glazing cap on because MY GOD THE CHEMISTRY. They worked sooo well together it was actually insane. Without a doubt the best chemistry I have seen between two people on camera. Their ability to fully portray love and affection with each other and make it look entirely believable was so impressive. I was fully immersed in their love story. This obviously works well as a romance, truly top tier stuff. Their kissing was perfect. I have absolutely no notes. I believed they desired each other and couldn’t stop themselves from wanting to show it. Well. Done.
NC Scenes:
I love a good artsy, sensual approach to an intimate scene. I like how it highlights the desire, passion, and love between a couple on screen that you sometimes lose in a more explicit, overly orchestrated NC scene. Not that I’m against or don’t love to see more explicit depictions of sex in dramas. I just think that sometimes a little less can be more in what you want to get across in a show in the time you have.
Music/SFX:
Music was fitting for the scenes and mood of what was going on. They made great use of changing the vibe of a scene quickly with a change in music. Masterfully done. That one song though… I think I could have done without hearing it so often. SFX were spot on throughout.
Production/Cinematography:
Gotta give props where it is due and it is in fact due as hell here, my friend. Nothing jumped out and ripped me away from the 1999 illusion, really impressive attention to detail for having made this in 2025. Cinematography had me on my knees fr. The lighting in some of those scenes was so perfect and I love to see some good lighting.
This was a treat. This was a delight. This was everything I want and more in a drama. I can’t believe I haven’t seen the hype for this everywhere like I have for Top Form, The Next Prince, My Stubborn, and Revenged Love. WILD. Those shows don’t stand a chance in hell against this piece of art in my opinion. BRAVO.
And now for some highlights from my many notes:

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).
