an underrated gem haters are too blind to see.
Coming back here because hateful comments built my curiosity as to what exactly this series was about, and… from the first near-sex scene, I knew I was in for a hot ride.
What stole my heart was a black Thai character as a main supporting character being in charge of the company, helping at the gym. Not just a prop. That alone biasedly rocketed this past an 8.0/10 for me.
The story gripped me so hard I binged 8 ≥55min episodes in one day. To everyone saying the main couple was boring: take several seats. A 3-year older college guy waiting for his senior-high BF to turn eighteen before they have sex + the younger one tops is INNOVATIVE. This happens in real life, and we don't talk enough about how natural it is.
(Oh, and the British school the kids went to.)
Why is no one talking about those cute scenes? If my partner teased me so flirtatiously, I'd want to stay with him forever. You would. Don't pretend.
Acting was cool for the most part, but the casting is among the best in Thai BL in half a decade. The kids look like their parents. But no one talks about that—or the Black supporting character—because brains are just empty vases filled with dust of hate.
The music is fine, not memorable. Maybe because I wasn't watching the series on high volume, but I'll come back cuz it has high rewatch value. The real issue is people trashing this because of the 2nd couple. They can't accept reality yet scream “this isn't realistic!” Make it make sense. Shock value? Yes. But we've had so many good endings lately, so take a chill pill.
Someone said hate is how series improve. Then where's this energy for big shows bringing nothing new? This is why worse series emerge. Creators cater to delusions and stupidity to avoid tanking.
Overall: 8.5/10. Not every series must be a ten to be good. Reloved has the heart, representation, and performances that deserve better than the bullshit happening in the comments. Go watch it.
