A COMPLEX WATCH
4Minutes is definitely not your typical BL series. If you're expecting something light and easy to watch, this isn't it. I’ll be honest, I found it a bit confusing at first. Some viewers even suggested starting from episode 3 to understand it better. But I dove in from the beginning and decided to just go with the flow.
Once you settle into its rhythm, though, it’s pretty intriguing, and you start to see why it gets such high ratings. It’s not just a story you watch, it's one you have to think through. You’ll find yourself analyzing each scene, trying to figure out what’s real and what’s just in Great’s head.
Yes, some scenes repeat, but that’s actually part of the whole experience. It’s not lazy storytelling, it’s deliberate. The repetition reflects Great’s chaotic, looping thoughts, especially since the biggest twist is that everything we're watching are just his mental WHAT IFS during a near-death experience. Wild, right?
The series tackles some heavy stuff, such as death, grief, and loss. A lot of people were dead in this series and it’s not always easy to watch. The emotional weight is real and adds to the intensity of the whole thing.
Now… about the NC scenes. Let’s just say, if you’re not comfortable with very intimate scenes, you might be in for a shock. The bed scenes are some of the most explicit I’ve seen in a BL series. It’s not just steamy, it’s intense. If you’re conservative or not a fan of NC content, you might write this off as borderline porn (I laughed, but it’s kinda true). But to be fair, the intimacy also plays into the mental and emotional state of the characters, so it’s not just there for show.
Overall, 4Minutes is bold, experimental, and not for everyone, but if you’re up for a deeper, psychological ride that’s not afraid to push limits, it’s absolutely worth the watch.
