DO YOU hear yourself ? saying Chain is just as toxic for manipulating the situation as the person who actually…
I understand where you’re coming from, and to be clear — I absolutely do not equate what Jorn did to what Chain may be doing. What Jorn did was horrific, criminal, and inexcusable. Chain is the victim here, and he didn’t deserve any of it.
That said, acknowledging Chain’s potential manipulation doesn’t take away from his trauma — it simply highlights that even victims can make questionable decisions in the aftermath of abuse. Saying that a behaviour is toxic doesn’t mean it’s on the same level as what Jorn did. It’s about recognising complexity in characters, not assigning equal blame.
I think you may have misinterpreted my comment. If you go back and read it, I said “it is still a form of toxic behaviour” — I never said it was on the same level.
😭Chain didn't deserve that. I admit that he is a questionable guy and maybe not a good friend but Jorn is on…
I agree — Chain did not deserve any of that. He was gang beaten, kidnapped, chained up, treated inhumanely while eating and showering, and ultimately sexually assaulted.
Jorn is studying to become a doctor, and both of his parents are in the medical field. He also has connections within the hospital. It’s difficult to understand why he would do something so reckless, especially knowing that it could ruin his entire future and potentially lead to jail time if Chain were to report him.
Thank you, I feel so bad and I just watched it illegally as well and subtitle are good now. I normally support actors by watching on the actual platform such as Viki, IQIYI and YouTube Premium. I was about to sign up for WeTV just to watch this but if subtitles are not good then no point.
Chain managed to escape, yet when confronted by his sister—who asked who had hurt him and suggested going to the police—he chose to hide the truth from her 🤐.
The preview for Episode 6 suggests that Chain may use this situation to his advantage. In order to avoid exposing what Jorn did to him, he appears to pressure Sun into breaking up with Nu so he can be with Nu instead. While Chain is undoubtedly the victim here, using this as leverage against Sun may not be as severe, it is still a form of toxic behaviour 😔.
What Jorn did to Chain was undeniably wrong, and I do not condone his actions 🚫. However, that doesn’t excuse manipulative behaviour in return.
Honestly, six episodes simply aren’t enough. There are too many characters and subplots—this story really needed at least 12 episodes to develop properly. It looks like the finale in Episode 6 will feel rushed.
It wasn't to make him jealous though? JeongU was already kissing her when JinWon rounded the corner, he would…
I agree with you on this point. I’m not sure why people keep suggesting that the intention was to make him jealous, when that clearly doesn’t seem to be the case.
Overall, I enjoyed the first two episodes. While the series didn’t have an explosive start, it still offered…

Overall, I enjoyed the first two episodes. While the series didn’t have an explosive start, it still offered a solid and engaging introduction. I was particularly impressed by Choi Jaehyeok’s portrayal of Kwon Jeongwu — he’s tall, striking, and captivating on screen 😍. Paired with the charming Yeom Minhyeok as Han Jiwon, the two make an adorable duo 🥰.
This looks to be a light and enjoyable BL series to look forward to every Thursday for the next six weeks 📺✨. At the moment, only two Korean BLs are currently airing, so hopefully we’ll see more released soon 🤞🇰🇷.
What Jorn did to Chain was undeniably wrong, and I do not condone his actions. However, upon rewatching episode 5—specifically around the 22-minute mark—it appears that Chain was the one who initially attempted to kiss Jorn, and it seemed as though he was trying to seduce him.
This may have led Jorn to misinterpret the situation, which could explain—though certainly not excuse—his subsequent behavior. That said, I still believe his actions were inappropriate.
Unfortunately, the lack of proper subtitles makes it difficult to fully grasp the context and nuances of the scene. Do we have any Thai speakers here who could help clarify exactly what was said and what happened?
why do they never show repercussions for these acts in BL ? is it a cultural thing in asia ? or does the production…
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for bringing attention to an important issue. I would like to respectfully offer a broader perspective.
It's important to acknowledge that problematic depictions of sexual assault and romanticizing red flag behavior are not exclusive to BL (Boys' Love) series. These issues unfortunately exist across various genres, including straight romance dramas, both in Asian and Western media. The tendency to romanticize or mishandle traumatic experiences is an industry-wide concern, not one limited to BL.
That said, I recently watched Tokyo in April is…, a Japanese BL series where this issue was addressed with commendable seriousness. In the story, one of the main characters, Ren, is nearly sexually assaulted by a colleague. What stood out was the realistic and responsible handling of the situation — police intervention was shown, the assault was not downplayed or romanticized, and the perpetrator was held accountable. It’s one of the few examples where the gravity of the incident was acknowledged in a meaningful way.
Also, as a reminder, these stories are fictional. As clearly stated in the disclaimer that appears at the beginning of many series: “Characters, actions, places, occupations, and events in this series are fictional and created for entertainment purposes only. They are not intended to urge or promote any behaviour in the series. Viewer discretion is advised.”
While that doesn’t exempt a story from critique, it’s important to distinguish between fictional storytelling and real-life advocacy.
Is it just me or was that rape scene romanticized ?! And really, a kidnapping?🙄 I don't think it's even about…
It’s not just you—I feel the same way. Those subtle kisses and touches come across as romantic rather than aggressive or angry. They appear gentle and give the impression that the two are a couple. However, I still don’t agree with what Jorn did to Chain.
Absolutely hooked from start to finish! Edward Chen was incredible (loved him since Your Name Engraved Herein and Red Balloon) — he brought so much depth to Zhang Yi Ziang. The plot is a slow burn at first (ep 1–6) but ep 7–12 are full of twists and tension. I know many disliked the mum, but I believe she truly loved her son, even if her ways were flawed. Their relationship was heartbreaking to watch. Watched all 12 eps in 2 days — dark, emotional, and unforgettable!
Thanks for the reply! Still, it’s pretty frustrating. I get that sites like Kisskh might not have proper subtitles, but WeTV is the official platform for this series. What’s the point of paying if there aren’t proper subs? I can’t even watch it without them.
great first episode.. but question ? are we meant to believe they were all in their 40's in the opening scenes…
Do we know what year the opening scene is set in? This detail could be crucial for understanding the timeline. For example, if the opening scene takes place in 2010, then going back to 1999 would represent a gap of only 11 years. In that case, the characters would be in their early 30s during the opening scene and in their early 20s in 1999. That would make far more sense than suggesting they’ve gone from their 40s back to their 20s.
Wow. What a premiere! 🤯 Reset kicks off with a bang and doesn’t let up for a second. Another time-travel series—but this time we’re going back into the past ⏳, and it totally gave me My Stand-In vibes (in the best way)!
Pond as Armin 💙 really shines here. I already loved him in Fourever You, but this role suits him even better. His chemistry with Thada (Peterpan) 💛 is so good! No hate to Earth (I adore him too 🥺), but Pond and Peterpan just click 👏.
The first episode is 70 minutes long ⏱️, but it flew by. Not a single dull moment—just pure emotion, mystery, and intensity 🎢🔥.
And let’s talk visuals—the 1999 setting is chef’s kiss 👏✨. From vintage cars 🚗 and old-school phones 📞 to the old clothings 🏡, you can feel the effort that went into the production.
That line—“My life has been reset” 💔—ties so beautifully into the title and theme. Perfect metaphor.
My Mondays just got a whole lot better. Can’t wait for episode 2.
