Some Timelines Are Worth Reliving
I didn’t really have a choice but to compare this series with Reset, since both share the same time-travel theme. But honestly, I wish I could yell to all the Reset fans: this is how you make a time-travel story! Rearrange isn’t afraid to switch actors, timelines, and perspectives instead of dragging the same faces across twenty years pretending nothing has changed. That kind of lazy storytelling drives me crazy and this show proves you can do better.
What really hooked me was Win’s character. He carries this quiet pain that makes him both frustrating and fascinating. Even when he opens up to his best friend, you can tell he’s still holding something back. It kept me guessing (and sometimes yelling at the screen) about why he did what he did. I love that sense of unpredictability. But I do wish they explored more of the other characters’ lives, especially in the future timeline. That was one weak spot for me; it’s like the story focused too tightly on Win and missed the chance to deepen the others.
And yes, Thai BLs are famous for their happy endings, but I didn’t expect that much happiness crammed into one final episode. Don’t get me wrong, it was satisfying, but maybe too neat. A little more emotional messiness, like showing Nut’s conflict with his dad or glimpses of the others’ futures, could’ve made it even stronger.
Still, Rearrange feels like a breath of fresh air in the BL world, less about fanservice, more about feelings and second chances. The cast might be new, but they brought warmth and sincerity, and the soundtrack? Beautiful. It’s a thoughtful, emotional ride that reminds you that even if you could turn back time, some things and some people are meant to stay with you forever.
