Very Special BL

**Brief Synopsis**

An angel appears and tells him that he has to save B's life im order for the cycle to end. At first T is confused as to how to save him when he could only return to a few hours before B is bought in and by that time it's too late. But then the angel lets him know he could choose to go back in time further, which is something he chooses to do. B and T's relationship start off rought because T tries to warn B he is about to die but B doesn't believe him. This frustrates T to no end.

Middle: At first T thought the reason for B's death is drunk driving but after B does again, this time with no alcohol in his blood, he knew that something was up. He decides this time he needs to get closer to B. He decides to dress up, approach B and try to learn more at his side, he even become B's tutor. In order to save B, he become closer to his friends as well, even saving two of them. He soon discovers that B actually had a heart issue which explain some of this death. As they grew closer, more details sorrounding the hospital T works at start of surface. It is revealed that the hospital had a doctor who was doing illegal organ trafficking business and B's girlfriend at that time had a mother who was also a victim and some of B's friends have been victimized by this business. To keep B alive, T has no choice but to investigate this problem. In his investigation, he also discovers B's girlfriend is only dating B because he could help her mother and she actually had another boyfriend. This leads to B breaking up with her. With each loop, B and T gets closer and finally they kiss.

End: Before they could have their happy ending, B and T decides to attend a conference that might help them in their investigation. But in a shocking turn of events, T is shot and dies. Stricken by grief, B doesn't know what to do until he remembers T telling him about the angel. He goes to find the angel who agrees to give him a chance to bring T back as long as he makes him fall in love with him in 5 days. With no choice, B agrees but making T like him in 5 days is not easy. However B realizes that if he could solve all the problems T had been trying to solve and do the right thing, he could still succeed. He eventually do and passes the test and the series ends with T coming back and then kissing.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Very nice writing. Although there are a lot of cliche and predictable plot points (such as hospital being front for organ trafficking or the girlfriend of ML betraying him so he had a reason to break up with her, etc), they are put together in an interesting way that keep in interested. The concept is very interesting and well executed, done in a way that doesn't make things over complicated.
- Very nice and likable characters. T was calm and collected but had his own trauma and flaws. B was adorable at the end and truly care of T. Although there aren't many intimate scenes, they show their affection through action and grief. The characters do have chemistry and seeing them together is really satisfying.
- I love the idea that B get to experience the loop at the end.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- The ending was too short. I would have liked to see them together because getting there has been very difficult.
- The plot can get a little plain. There were some plot twists that surprised me but overall, the mystery is predictable and cliche, and seen multiple times before.
- The acting can get a little...unnatural in scenes where the actors have to display strong emotions. For example anger and grief aren't exactly that well displayed. In general the acting is fine and there aren't many cringey scenes.

**Conclusion**
Interesting ground hog day type of BL that should be watched.
