We could have done without 5 minutes of Jia Hao whining. 😒

I also think 16 is too young but it’s technically not a crime since the age of consent in Thailand is 15, which makes it all the more weird that they chose him but weren’t prepared to let him do kissing scenes etc (btw I don’t want to see a 16 year old doing nsfw scenes). It’s clear they are avoiding nsfw scenes because of possible backlash from international audiences. In the past they had no problem doing this once they hit the age of consent (15 years). Just bad decisions all round. I was honestly enjoying it up until this episode. I think both leads are decent actors and they should have either kept it with no implied kisses/bedroom scenes at all or hire mature actors and go all out.
*sigh*

My bad. I’ve added spoiler tag now.

Oh no, the ex’s wife is turning out not to be a good person.

Hairstyles isn't something I usually pay attention to but I'll keep a look out so I can differentiate. Thank you.

I usually watch the first episode of a new show to decide if it’s captivating enough to tune in every week or wait until all the episodes air and then binge.

With this one I think I will wait.

I won’t be too harsh with my first impression because it is only the first episode and it wasn’t terrible.

Initial thoughts:

We’re seeing more and more of this handsome vs geeky/plain looking pairing. Maybe it’s a trend now because of the success of PitBabe.

The actor playing Patt is a decent actor and is sort of carrying the show at the moment. The Elis actor is a bit green. Perhaps they hoped that with one being good looking and one being a decent actor, it would balance it out.

SIDE NOTE: I personally think the actor playing Patt is cute. I really like his smile and the character is endearing.

The editing and camera angles feel very amateurish. There are some scenes that look like they were filmed from the ‘side’ and ‘below’ from a weird angle, like a hidden camera/ student budget feel.

The timeline is very confusing so far. I’m not sure what has happened yet or if it’s showing flashes of the future. There is also no clear distinction between the end of a flashback and the return to present day. I have to look at the clothes they are wearing to make an educated guess. It doesn’t help that Patt is sometimes wearing the same suit on multiple different days.

so true

I am the same tbh, but I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I realise that the least I can do for survivors and victims is to hear their story. I’ve watched Silence and it’s on my list of personal faves but I could never watch it again. Once was enough.

To be fair, there are few innocent ones in this drama. Only people who did more or less bad things compared to other characters. Fasai’s father and Tonkla murdered people. Great and Tyme were no angels but they didn’t kill anyone in cold blood.

Oh, yeah. I can see how it resembles inception.

At the end Great was messing with Tyme by pretending they might still be in the 4minutes timeline but it was a gotcha moment. I don't know if you've ever seen The OA but the alternate timelines and the doc's near death/coma research kinda reminds me of that.

We had a look at Tyme’s timeline during his near death. He was brought back though before he got stuck there and taken into the ambulance. He recovers and later we see that Great has recovered too but unfortunately Tonkla and Korn died while Korn was trying to help him escape. When Win shot Tonkla by accident, a distraught Korn shoots himself. Win was aiming for Korn but Tonkla pushed Korn out of the way).

We see in the gallery scene how this all started and how Great and the other 4minutes lady got the 4 minutes ‘power’. It was gifted to them by the lady doing the exhibition. She inadvertently tells us why in her art ‘presentation’ but it’s unclear why she chose those two. It seems they were sent there purposely. The only thing I can think of is that she must be some sort of all-knowing being (a God-like figure).

At the end both Tyme and the audience weren’t sure they got out of the 4minutes timeline but turns out Great was just messing with Tyme/us. I’m glad they included that because I would have finished the series being suspicious as to whether they were really in the real timeline or just a beautiful dream.

“Well…..that’s all folks.” 👏🏽

The tragedy is that Win realised too late it was never about him. He never stood a chance. 😭

Thank you for this. 👍🏽

This series was captivating enough for me to watch it while it was airing. I don’t know what the finale has in store but I can already say it has given us a solid time travel, mature bl that I’ve been wanting for a long time.

Same, but it is the preferred option to a sad ending.

Korea stay dropping a whole series of a bl and I’m here for it. 🙌🏽

I hate to break it to you Sheng Wang, but you’re in a relationship my boy. 😅

I have to agree. I was thinking along the same lines. Usually I’m not bothered by this but we’ve just had two back to back JBLs that have left me wanting but like you said, it’s a solid production with an enjoyable story and strong acting. I sincerely hope this doesn’t turn out like the current trend of Thai BLs where because the industry has gotten bigger, actors are using it as a stepping stone into the mainstream but they are uncomfortable doing BL content.
