2025 BL GEM
I don’t care what those people who scored this gem 7 and below say. And I hope it won’t affect the others to watch this cause to be honest, there might be flaws in story of the series but what I can say is that the actors are so good that it will make you stay til the last episode. I want to see Pond and Peterpan in another series again 🥹🥹🥹Was this review helpful to you?
Everyone wanted to be Thada sugarbaby
1) Cast & Character DevelopmentArmin and Thada’s chemistry is undeniably good. My only comment is that most of the antagonists in this series feel overly feminine. Not that I’m against it—once or twice is fine—but when it happens too often, it starts to feel repetitive. They don’t need to be portrayed as overly bitchy or feeling my oats all the time; it takes away from their villainous essence. At some point, they stop feeling truly menacing.

2) The Revenge Plot
At first, I thought the whole “Reset” concept was going to be Armin’s revenge against those who killed him (I’m still at Episode 8)—or at least his attempt to rewrite his past. But it turns out, about 80% of the story revolves around his relationship with his sugar daddy. I’m not mad about it, but it feels like the main “Reset” plotline has been sidelined. And up until now, we still don’t know why TD never appeared in Armin’s past life.

OMG!!
This drama was absolutely amazing! It had everything — a solid plot, incredible acting, beautiful music, fluffy moments, spice, and all the emotions you could ask for.Honestly, I didn’t expect much going in; I started it pretty much blind. But wow, it was so worth it! The music was gripping (except maybe that one track during the 🔥 scenes — I can’t remember exactly which one 😅). The story actually had depth, and every character delivered a fantastic performance. You could feel their emotions through the screen.
And can we talk about Wenai & Jannie?! I loveddddd them! Please make them an official couple already 😭😭 They totally deserve it.
All in all, a must-watch! I loved every second and would 100% rewatch it again. 😌❤️

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!!

Would You Reset Time for Love?
This show was very good. Often time travel stuff can get extremely convoluted, but this wasn't too bad! I kept up with it fairly well and it wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility like some other shows have been. I enjoyed our leads and wanted to see them succeed together, as well as take down some of these trashy co characters UGH. I didn't wanna see Fiat 2.0, I really didn't lol.Was this review helpful to you?
Loved Pond's acting ?❤️
I loved Pond's acting in Fourever You and honestly he was the reason I watched this series and it was definitely worth it. I mean I did feel Peterpan was a bit bland, his acting felt a bit off and awkward (just my opinion) but apart from that, I loved this drama. It had many clingy scenes, which I liked btw. Some of the scenes made me start punching the air and blush until my cheeks started hurting. I'll not give it a 10/10 rating as there were some potholes and as I said due to Peterpan’s acting but I'm giving it a 8/10❤️Was this review helpful to you?
A Visually Stunning Series Carried by Powerful Performances, Despite an Uneven Plot
Reset is a series that is heavily carried by its outstanding cast, each of whom delivers a remarkably strong performance in their respective roles. Even the villainous characters are so convincing that they genuinely provoke frustration, to the point where I found myself reacting out loud in front of my laptop. Armin, portrayed by Pond, excels particularly in emotional and sorrowful scenes, showcasing impressive depth and authenticity.The production quality of the series is also commendable, every aspect feels aesthetically pleasing, beautifully crafted, and thoughtfully executed. The chemistry between the characters is undeniable, contributing greatly to the overall impact of the story.
However, I do have some reservations. At times, the plot can feel inconsistent, occasionally illogical, somewhat convoluted, though there are moments where it works well. Additionally, the setting of Armin’s time travel to Bangkok in 1999 appears overly luxurious and somewhat exaggerated, which slightly disrupts the sense of realism.
That said, setting aside these issues, I genuinely enjoyed the series and found it to be a very engaging watch.
Final ranking :
Chemistry : 92 A+
Acting : 95 A+
Cinematograpghy : 85 A
Storyline / Plot : 70 A-
Overall : 85.5 A

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.

Terrible acting, hot leads
I don’t know how this was a 10/10 for some people. The acting was HORRIBLE for ALL of the side characters along with bad writing. The only redeeming quality was the leads had great chemistry and was the better of the actors of the whole show. If you’re wanting epic romance with stellar performances then save yourself here and go watch KinnPorsche.Was this review helpful to you?
Storyline..
Absolutely loved this BL. Fell in love with Thada..His visuals were beyond handsome..He was all masculine. Armin was the cutie. He was a lucky man to have such a gentle admirer who loved him deeply. Armin was a bit of a complex character who had been treated badly in his past life and having been killed off by people he thought was loyal he was reborn and meeting Thada saved his life. A fan from a distance. As for the stepbrother he was a vicious horrible human being who acted like a spoilt toddler stamping his feet and screaming when things didn't go his way and his mother was
a right bit#h..The scene where Armin was shot was a trauma for Thada. The acting was just enough.. Not overdone. I thought Armin was dead.. 😪. Pity we dont have more BLs like this.. Angst and drama is definately my bias and judging by some BL fans I'm not alone. Cheesy sloppy BL series are a turn
off. I hate cheesy.. When both MLs were in bed episode 10 when the director mentioned to rise up my mind turned dirty.. All in All a really great BL.. You know it's good when you can't wait for the next episode.. Thanks to all who gave us this little gem of a series. I hope both MLs are given
another pairing in another BL.. They gelled together nicely plus I want Thada in my life again.

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.

Dramatic and Satisfying
The opening and some style feels like lakorn. But my biggest take is the actors can act. It's dramatic, but so satisfying to watch. Some supporting actor need more acting class, but the main actors are undoubtedly very very good actors. Not a lakorn style I'm used to but you'll forget by episode 2. Used to be an avid hater of the main character's decisions but his pretty face made me forgave it all. Yeah. Overall, good acting, satisfying to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
