Great but Confused on the ending?!
I don't really care what other people say. But for me the plot, the actors and the chemistry between them was great and I liked it a lot. Plus I quite like the toxicity in the drama but that's just me ig. I like FortPeat so that's just a bonus. I do think there might be a special episode based on the ending, I don't think there will be a season 2 though. But I also think that Lavid is getting revenge on Ken but I don't know the whole situation seems sus and I will feel he is still pissed at Vier but again I am not sure. You also need to be in a proper mind set to watch it.Was this review helpful to you?

Like watching a car crash in the best possible way to the very end
First disclaimer: this series covers A LOT of sensitive topics. There are very dark themes present and most of the characters are flawed in one way or another. However if you can handles the themes covered in the series, this will keep you on your toes both excited and horrified just thinking what kind of twist is next in the plot line. This is full 10 eps packed with scheming and action, and I think I will be suffering from a void not having to anticipate the next episode weekly.In terms of acting I think Peat and Fort do their best roles to this date. Neither Kelvin or Vier in this series are innocent, the more you watch the series the more you kind of realize that both of them are quite twisted in their own way. This is one of the series where I wouldn't have necessarily minded if the main couple had not ended up together at the end. So much just goes down between them, that a ending of them going separate ways would have been an equally acceptable conclusion compared to the canon ending we get. The GL pairing was cute, the series did give them enough screen time for the pair to be believable (which a lot of BL shows don't do). The combat scene given in the last ep to Nana was awesome!
The only thing that could have been executed better was the amount of flash back scenes in the first few episodes. You really had to pay careful attention, because otherwise it could be very confusing when the scene was in the current moment and when it was a flash back. On the second half of the series this is no longer was an issue, bc the story focuses to the main plot unfolding. Something else that maybe could have gotten more screen time was Kelvin's treatment and recovery. They probably had a budget only to cover 10 ep, so Kelvin getting a proper treatment to his very serious mental health issues is just referred to few times in the final ep. I think covering Kelvin's recovery and how he and Vier work out the craziness they went trough would have added even more depth to the plot and made ending not seem so glossed over.
In conclusion:
- If you like a mature BL with a plot that keeps twisting to the end, this is a gem.
- Always a pleasure seeing your favorite actors doing something very different and excelling while doing it.
- Don't watch this, if you are looking something easy and lighthearted.
- You will probably need a week or two to recover once you have finished the series, the impact is very lasting.

I Admit It, I'm Just Here for FortPeat....
....and that makes this review sort of specific. I didn't read the story first, so I had no idea what to expect with this series. I definitely would not have watched it without my boys in it, is my overall conclusion after seeing the whole thing (through ep 10).That said...I am staying hopeful that FP get a different type of story for their next series. The two of them have ridiculous, insane chemistry and have the ability to have some of the best nc scenes that have are pretty explicit but work with the story without being gratuitous. I think the shower scene in Love Sea is one of the best in the entire genre. I don't want them typecast into only one trope (Fort chasing Peat, etc.) but this was a strange, sort of unpleasant, uneven story that they did the best they could with--Peat in particular went through a ton of emotions and personalities from ep to ep.
Their power is in playing off longing and love drama (the scene in LIAT on the floor of Sky's room is another benchmark moment for them). This wasn't the best vehicle for them to do that--and whoever was behind the production clearly had a limit on the NC scenes which is a shame because there are only so many CP that are REALLY believable in those scenes--FP commit completely, without any of the awkward moves or fish kisses that some other CP tend to lean into. Fort is magnetic on screen--his smile is electric (and off camera, his laugh could light up an entire city). Yesterday just didn't take advantage of any of their best qualities--Peat did good work but except for the last couple episodes it was hard to know if Kelvin was in scammer mode or actually in love with Vier...
I will probably watch anything these two make, but I hope the next choice let them lean into their strengths again, because when they are on, they are FIRE.

This could’ve been so much more, but it crossed a dangerous line with Stockholm Syndrome…
This series started off so strong. The acting is absolutely phenomenal, and I don’t even need to start talking about Fort and Peat, they were incredible from start to finish. I loved everything about it in the beginning: the performances, the dynamic, the setting, the story… it all felt so promising.But the ending left me feeling completely empty. It’s honestly a bit sad, because despite everything, I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed with the final episode. After such a strong build-up, it just didn’t fully deliver the emotional payoff I was hoping for.
I am curious to see whether there will be a second season after that last scene, and if there is, I really hope it continues the story in a way that feels more satisfying and builds on the strengths we’ve seen.
One thing I also found quite questionable is the use of Stockholm Syndrome. It’s a very sensitive topic, and the way it was handled leaves a slightly uncomfortable impression. Especially the situation between Kevin and Vier, it felt like everything that happened between them was resolved or brushed aside far too quickly. The emotional weight of it all just seemed to disappear, which made it feel unrealistic and hard to fully accept.
Overall, I wouldn’t say the series is bad, it’s still enjoyable and has its strong moments, but it didn’t quite live up to the full potential it clearly had.

If you're looking for something different, then this series is for you!
I think this series 'Yesterday' is made for fans of intense angst, drama, craziness, and especially dark romance! The bottom is absolutely fire, while the top is 'little dear'. Both leads delivered amazing performances.I’ve seen many people say the timeline is confusing, but it gets better as the episodes progress. Yes, it feels a little rushed in places, but that doesn’t ruin the series at all.
Trust me, you should give it a try. I really loved it!

Aaaah what I wouldn't watch for my favs... A lot actually but I watched this one.... First of all, I discovered that I don't like business drama, it bored me and I don't understand shit (probably because I don't care). So all this part was boring to me.
Second of all, I didn't like the toxic trope. Don't get me wrong, I love toxic couple, but only when it's coming from both side. Here only Kelvin is toxic (and tried to rape Vier???) but for some reason Vier accept it?? I'm sorry I can't enjoy it.
The only good point is the GL couple. I love them so much, they were so cute and... hot
And FortPeat can deliver great kiss, like?? Okay we get it you love to kiss your costar (pls keep going) I feel like I'm interrupting something...

The Tragedy of Kelvin's "Love"
Kelvin is the perfect example of how untreated trauma turns a person into a monster. He claims to have a deep bond with Vier, but his attachment is actually a dangerous obsession. The irony is clear: Kelvin is the one who desperately needs a psychiatrist, yet he’s the one holding the person he loves captive.He’s so terrified of being abandoned again that he’s turned his love into a cage. If Vier ever truly walks out that door and never looks back, Kelvin won't just lose his mind—he'll be forced to face the hollow, broken person he’s become. It’s a chilling look at what happens when possessiveness replaces genuine.
Character Warning: Extreme "Black Flag" behavior. Kelvin is 100% the one who needs the therapy couch.
⭐ Rating: 9/10 for the psychological tension (and 0/10 for Kelvin's "boyfriend" skills)

Yesterday had an interesting premise on paper
Yesterday had an interesting premise on paper — revenge, power struggles, and corporate battles — but the execution felt all over the place.The storyline comes across as scattered and hard to follow. It tries to build tension and present itself as thrilling and action-packed, but it never really delivers on that promise. Instead, it ends up feeling like a drawn-out corporate conflict without enough depth or payoff.
At times, it’s honestly confusing what direction the story is trying to take. The revenge angle is there, but it’s not developed in a way that feels cohesive or impactful.
Overall, it had the potential to be intense and gripping, but it falls short in execution. I’d honestly rather rewatch The Wicked Game than revisit this.

FortPeat Said “No Fluff, Just Trauma” and We ATE UP
FortPeat chemistry?? yeah no, that’s not a joke, that’s a full-blown phenomenon. The way they came in and said “new era, new vibe” after their previous series… I’m obsessed. Completely different flavor, and they delivered.And to the timeline complainers;please 😭 WeTV literally dropped a whole explanation reel. The information is there, y’all just don’t want to read.
What I love about this series is that it’s DARK. Messy. Complicated. Emotionally draining in the best way. This is NOT your soft, fluffy BL—this is “sit down and process your feelings after every episode” territory. Not for the weak.
Kelvin??? Oh Peat ATE. That man said “give me psychological complexity and moral ambiguity” and ran with it. Twisted, layered, lowkey unhinged… and somehow still heartbreaking to watch him struggle through it all. Like damn, let him breathe???
Also… he chained his top to the bed?? Sir??? New trope unlocked I guess 😭 and somehow it WORKS??
And knowing Fort and Peat IRL makes it even crazier because this is SUCH a departure from their real personalities. The commitment?? The RANGE?? Fort really out here acting like being chained up to peats bed isn’t the best thing thats ever happened to him, academy award when? xD
This show is basically a chaotic rollercoaster of a relationship: messy, intense, full of turns you don’t see coming. But then they hit you with that special episode?? Soft, domestic, in-love VeirKelvin?? I almost forgot the trauma for a second.
End of the day: FortPeat don’t miss. Ever. The magic is real, and they prove it every single time.

The boys did it again. 👏
I’m never disappointed when they’re in a series together. There’s just something about their chemistry and the way they bring their characters to life that always works.
Another project, another win. 😌✨

Confused
Just finished episode 4 of Yesterday the Series, and honestly I have very mixed feelings so far. I’m not sure what will happen in the next episodes, but the first four episodes have been quite confusing for me.The biggest issue I’m having is with the timeline and sequence shifting. In the first three episodes especially, the transitions between time and scenes felt very unclear. Sometimes it felt like the story was jumping between moments without properly explaining what was happening. Because of that, it was hard for me to stay fully connected with the plot.
Kelvin’s character is also quite mysterious, but in a way that feels inconsistent. At some moments he seems like a nerdy person who is scared of everything, almost fragile and unsure of himself. But then suddenly he gives off this strong alpha energy, which makes it hard to understand his real personality. It feels like the character is switching between two completely different sides without enough explanation.
Veir’s character also gave me a similar feeling. In the beginning episodes, I thought he would be someone mentally strong and confident, someone who has control over situations. But as the story continues, he sometimes comes across as very emotional and almost like a puppy who cries easily. Because of these shifts, the emotional tone of the scenes feels a bit mixed and confusing.
All these changes in tone and character behavior make the series a little difficult for me to follow. Sometimes I feel like I can’t fully keep up with the story or the emotions the show is trying to deliver.
That being said, I’m still continuing the series mainly because I like Fort and Peter. Their presence and performances are the reason I’m still giving the drama a chance, and I’m hoping the next episodes will make the story clearer.

As for the script and the series itself, there are many ambiguities, the director thinks that we are in his shoes and that we know what is happening, it is so confusing and he runs from stage to stage in a period of a month, 6 months and even a year, so it is very confusing to watch. We don't know what the director had in mind, we are not in his head.
