Triage (2022)

One of the best series with a time jump plot

Time jumps are difficult to handle in a story line as there are multiple pieces that you have to be careful about so as to not ruin continuity and keep the essence of the story going. Triage although not perfect really did a great job at keeping itself on the right path any time there is a time jump to the point that it even ties one scene that happens in the beginning to something occurring way later in the series.

Tin is a doctor at an ER in a hospital where Tol is brought in critical condition after a car accident. He tries to saves his life but is unsuccessful. However, to his utter shock he finds himself back in time reliving the moment where he loses Tol on the emergency room bed. He is tasked to save his life to break this loop. This task isn’t that simple as any changes to the past causes a ripple effect in the future where Tin not just loses Tol but other people around him are affected as well. Tin has to find a way of saving Tol’s life while not harming his friends

As Tin tries harder and harder every time to save Tol’s life, he inches closer and closer to multiple truths and now the mission is not just to save Tol’s life but to uncover way more. The stakes are now way higher. In the process to managing multiple inter-locked events he keeps jumping farther and farther in the past, meeting Tol, falling in love and finally seeing his lover die in front of him.

In the penultimate episode, the story takes a different turn altogether which in my opinion changes a lot about the characters that we know, that it seems like a different series altogether and it just becomes too messy. And then the haphazard attempt to make this a Disneyesque happy ending took the potential of being one of the best BL series away from it.

I was however, pleasantly surprised that this series shows the butterfly effect where in a small action leads to massive consequences. So in order to change the future, you need to change the past but to what extent can you alter the past so as to reach the desirable result in the future. Bearing this in mind, the series does show changes in the future timeline whenever Tin decides to take some action in the past to save Tol’s life.

Tee did a fabulous job playing the character of Tol. The character had depth, a proper story arc with a redemption plot and he handled it superbly. Tae playing Dr. Tin was convincing as well. You can feel the pain in his eyes whenever he had to see Tol die after making multiple attempts to save his life. Although in some scenes I feel that Tin reacts as if he is in visible pain just to talk to certain characters and that gave me a chuckle. I ain’t saying it was intentional; it’s how it appeared to me

In conclusion, this is one of the best series with a time loop plot with great actors and an interesting story that will keep you hooked.

Mind blowing for real but not flawless

At first, I really didnt understand this series by reading the desc so I thought maybe I wont have fun since it looks very serious to me and I am not a fan of serious series.

But dang, this series was beautiful

It was like so interesting and always got me curious of what will happen. I was so invested.

It was really like going on a journey with Tin and to see how he manages to get out of the loop. I really wasnt sure about the bl here until ep5. I literally love them so much especially in ep9. They are perfect!

I like the represent how both of them would have went to a bad path without eachother
They are my favourites and gosh they are so handsome TwT

To be honest, I think we all started to watch this series to know all the answers of this loops. why Tin has to go through these loops and why he needed to save Tol for getting out from the loop.

Seriously I love this series but I do feel like there are some stuffs which are just not it

Problems:
who killed Tin?? Like was that even necessary to kill him like that without any sense? Plus pretty sure Dr Sak and his ppl didnt know that Tin was behind the plan of exposing them? Like literally why he got shot?

Felt very incomplete at the end to be honest..They kissed and there. The end. Not even a moment together having fun after reunlwas no talking about what Tol was going this loop etc. Like thats it?

Also, I really preferred Dr Sak getting a legal punishment rather than getting killed by his people and get his kidney stolen.

The last episode was like something tho. Dr Doi acting like Bellatrix, Gap not even calling the police, Fang just watching then Doi coming on time to kill Tin like bruhh.

Also I was heartbroken how Tin was an asshole in that last loop. Tol would have been an asshole without him but dude is literally was going to murder a patient. More like turning into a villain? I am not sure if Tin was that bad by seeing ep1.

Anyways that's it. I loved it regardless but I really dont like the last few episodes as they felt very rushed and could have been a 10/10 series for me.

PERFECT.

as always I thought that this series will be cringe just because its a Thai series which are cringe sometimes but this was a masterpiece. I wasn't bored for even a second, the story is fantastic, the chemistry between actors is perfect. always at the end of the first 4th episodes I was trying to come with an idea how Tin should help Tol but the ending was insane when tin got shot I was to stunned to speak. I hope there will be something like season 2 or something. I really recommend this series and LIKE GOD THIS IS SO UNDERRATED!! I usually don't like bus which story is in hospital because its kinda drastic and all. the most is also so good!! it even made me want to try study medicine because it looks really cool. be sure to watch this its so cool totally my favorite bl.

Enjoyable

I loved Manner of Death in 2020 and even listening to someone read the novel.

When I found out that the author had another book that was adapted into a tv series, I could not wait to watch it. The issue was trying to find the series which I eventually did.

I saw a lot of reviews say how amazing it is. The plot is good but sometimes the execution is questionable. Maybe because of scenes made me pause to either laugh at or question.

Each time Tin, fails to save a boy that is rushed to the ER because of a car accident, when he falls asleep, he wakes up on July 18th to redo it over. He initially doesn't care about him, because of his feelings of his sister being killed by a man who was drinking and driving. The smell of alcohol causes him to infer that the boy may have been drinking and driving. Jinta is there to explains that Tin has to save Tol in order to out of the loop. Tin tries to change shifts so that he is not on night duty when Tol comes in, but of course that doesn't work. He also tries to find Tol after his classes to explain that he is going to die that night and not to drive, That doesn't go over well either. Each loop though does give more clues to a bigger pictures such as a well known doctor purposely getting patients who have a certain diagnoses in order remove a tumor from their kidneys, but is actually removing the whole kidney without the patients being aware.

The last few episodes were confusing. Such as how Tin was able to meet Tol again at the watch tower when we saw his body be put in the ambulance. The roles being reversed and Tol now having to change the heart of Tin, who has lost sight of his faith. In this regard, the both change the other in a good way. The ending scene did make me excited for Transplant if we ever get it. I am not sure who killed Dr Sak, (I knew he looked familiar. He played Type's father in TharnType), the doctor that was illegally selling the kidneys of patients. I think it was Dr. Doi, who was working with Dr. Sak and tried to kill doctors such as Gap and Sing and even Rit. It was a bit shocking with how characters were tied together.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I don't see me reaching this, but I enjoyed the mystery and how events changed.

When the plot is more interesting than the main couple

The plot on its own is interesting, I really like the whole illegal organ selling thing. Very dark and very unusual for BL. That's why I like it! I would have wished they would have dived deeper into it, but maybe that's what 'Transplant' is for. It's interesting to watch Tin trying to break out of the loop, but it is also very frustrating (due to the nature of the plot obviously). There were definitely some plotholes and weak moments in the writing.

I also believe because of the endless loops, it was hard to build up a proper romance between the leads. I haven't watched their previous work, but their chemistry personally didn't really work for me here. I can't pinpoint what exactly it is, but I'm just not really feeling the chemistry. It's not bad by all means. It's just not...very exciting.
The acting overall was alright, though.

I did enjoy watching it, I wouldn't call it the best BL out there, but everyone who wants to watch something that is more focused on a complex plot should give it a try!

DIFFERENT AND BETTER PLOT SEEN IN A BL, FOR A WHILE.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN REVIEWING SERIES. SO I WILL JUST GIVE MY OPINION.

-THE DIFFFERENT AND WELL EXECUTED PLOT, MAKES THE SERIE VERY GOOD AND REFRESHING VS. THE BL SERIES OF THE LAST 3-2 YEARS.
-IT KEEPS YOUR ATTENION AND INTEREST VERY WELL.
-GOOD CHEMESTRY OVERALL IN THE MAIN COUPLE.
-I THINK THE ACTING IS GOOD.
-IT INNOVATES HOW BL SERIES ARE DONE.
-MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND RELATED TOPICS ARE VERY ACCURATE. (I AM A GRADUATED MD).
-DOES NOT FEEL LIKE WATCHING A FILLER BL SERIE.
-I THINK ITS WORTH THE TIME.
-IT HAS DRAMA, MISTERY, SUSPENSE, LITTLE ACCTION, ROMANCE AND FANTASY.
-IT HAS CATS, HAHAHAHA, SORRY MINI SPOILER.
-THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THE TYPICAL CLICHES ROLES IN BL SERIES, OF WICH I WAS GETTING TIERED.

SO, OVERALL IN MY PERSONAL OPINION YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY, IF HAVE TIME.
THATS ALL, THANK YOU FOR READING.

CONSISTENCY AND PROGRESSION AT IT'S FINEST

Probably one of the best show I've ever seen since day 1. And one of the fastest finished show recently, coz these days I can barely watch a drama in just 1 or 2 days, now of my busy schedule, I finish dramas for 2 weeks ! Going back, this show is freaking interesting and exciting, it was like a game where when you cannot finish the mission right, you will be getting back to the start, there's so many thoughts came to me while watching this drama, such a thrilling and exciting one !
The romance was one thing but the very story was insanely great ! Scripts were perfect for the scene like everything I expected here was given to me. At first I got excited, in the middle it got more exciting and annoying just because I felt tired and pity for Tin to keep getting back from the start when he failed saving Tol, and every part of this show went very nice and super love the ending ! There was no part of this show that made me bored, the progression was insane ! Like, such a nice watch, such a masterpiece. One of my fave parts were when little by little-y Tin discovering how will he save Tol; by getting to know Tol's background and everything and even came up to the point where he head to make Tol his boyfriend just to make sure Tol won't get heart attacked. And the part where finally it has to be Tol to save Tin, everything made sense like when Tin was able to save Tol finally after going through many loops, it was his life in exchange and it was sad, if feels like you are living in a game where you would have to find out where and what to do, such a lucky guy to have lots of chances! and there Tol now will have to save Tin, they have shown here that in every loop everything that happens will happen no matter what and it can only be delayed or transferred to another's fate or just exchange people involved. It was funny that even out of this shows trickiness , I understood everything! every part of the story was on point and so I really had fun watching it.
The actors were great ! Tae Darvid is such a great actor ! I am so happy he finally got a show that has a nice story and script as this ! I like him as an actor and Tee, is such a cutie and his sleepy like eyes are everything ! And please let me just recognize and commend Tonman here or P'Sing ! I have been seeing him on other shows where his characters were like jolly and joker but here ! Damn he was so cool and handsome with a serious role ! This is the reason why I really wish other actors on BL will have a chance 'coz many of them have so many potentials like him ! I really really like him here and his acting was so great here !
My favorite part besides the story of this show was the gay pannic of Tin and Tol and their romance ! So many sudden funny moments here that I will always remember like when Tol was able to save the cardiac arrested patient on the last part and then suddenly kissed Tin HAHAH that was crazy, also Sing and Gap's moments and by the way the props and presentation of this medical Drama was great and really felt like real and life like! Love also the sound effects. Finally don't blame me coz Immana add this one again on my top dramas of all time , such a nice to watch not a waste of time ! And surely gonna re watch it again after sometime, or on the next loop ?

Triage, An Underrated Masterpiece

So...It's fair to say this BL is a huge blessing to our 2022 repertoire of BL shows.
Triage is many things but one word easily sums it up - Masterpiece.

I'd been excited about this BL ever since it was announced for various reasons:
- the plot is super interesting
- it's based on a Sammon novel
- has faint connections to Manner Of Death
- the small thing they did in 2019 caught my attention and I always thought it'd be good if given the right care, budget and investment
- I loved Tae in Paint With Love

However, since this show has mystery involved in it and it's based on a Sammon novel, just like Manner Of Death, I decided to wait until it finished airing to binge watch so I wouldn't suffer every 6 days a week for 13 weeks. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to watch it yet, that is, until now. And gosh it was so worth the wait.

While I waited for it to finish airing and for me to have time to watch it, I updated myself on how the show was being received and I was delighted to see a positive response from the general audience, which made me even more excited to watch it.
When I finally started watching it, I was a bit disappointed in the first episode - that was, however, my issue - since I had such high expectations, the 1st episode was a bit of a let down. Oftentimes episode 1 is one of the best episodes in a series, since it is made to hook viewers on the show. So when episode 1 wasn't as amazing as I'd expected it to be, it felt somewhat empty.
Episode 2 was more of the same but episode 3 was when I knew this series would be one of the best things I watched the whole year. It just becomes so good. The more I learned about the characters and the story that unravels, the more excited I was to watch the next episode. So, yeah, while I wasn't impressed with the first 2 episodes, this series quickly became one of my favorites - it wasn't love at first sight but it's a strong love that was gradually developed.

When rating a show I take into account the following: characters, plot, writing, cast+acting, intrigue, cinematography and enjoyment. My rating for Triage in these 7 categories is as follows:

> Characters - 9,5/10

Starting with the characters, every single character in this show is pretty complex, as is usual for Sammon, they're not only plot devices but each one of them has their own behavior, their own stories and it all translates into the show in perfect harmony. The two main characters, Tin and Tol, are very well flashed out, each one of them has a strong individuality and more than a bl couple, they're two people who are completely different from each other in more than one aspect but still manage to fall in love. They work as individuals in this story but connect perfectly as a unit as well, which is something not every story is capable of presenting. They don't need each other to be / to exist (I mean-) but they need each other to be the best version of themselves and that's beautiful.

Then we have the side characters. My favorite is definitely Dr.Sing (played by Tonnam) who is a colleague of Tin and has a major role in resolving the hospital side mystery and who changes shifts with Tin so he can do what he wants in each loop - he’s his biggest support fr. We have characters like Dr. Gap, Dr.Fang, Jinta, Rit, Art and Toi who are there as friends of the main characters and whose roles change in the different loops, but always making interesting participations. And then we have our antagonists, who are the main characters of one of the mysteries in the show.


> Cast + Acting - 9,5/10

I won’t spend much time in this category but I truly want to commend the acting in this series. Tae and Tee didn’t strike me as great actors back when they did 2moons but they’ve both been improving so much - we had gotten a glimpse of Tae’s improvement in Paint With Love and Tee as a side character in The Miracle Of Teddy Bear but it can’t compare to how they did in Triage. I thought Tae was great, he portrayed Tin perfectly, his rage, his anxiousness, his tiredness, etc. But Tee - Tee stole the show. In the first few episodes he didn’t stand out much but after a while, once his character started appearing more in different scenarios, you could see how his acting improved. Every emotion Tol felt was very clear through Tee’s acting - he was great. The side characters were great too and I want to praise Tonnam specifically. I was used to seeing him in more comedic roles but here he played a serious mature character and he was amazing in it, it didn’t even feel like he was acting, it was all so natural.


> Plot - 9/10 + Writing 8,5/10 + Intrigue 9,5/10

Now, as to the plot. I think the idea of this show is great. Sammon’s stories always have mystery involved and they’re very intriguing to read/watch. They’re the kind of stories that leave us hanging on the edge of our seats, eager to know the truth. The plot premise was wonderful. Execution, however, had a few flaws. There are some ideas that were introduced that never got their conclusion - such as Tin knowing the answers to his questions after saving Tol (we never got to know those answers) - and the final felt kinda rushed. We could’ve seen a bit more of them together, though that final line and scene is a great way to end the show ><.


> Cinematography - 8,5/10

This category includes imagery, editing, directing and everything related to the portrayal of the show. I’m not an expert in any of these so this is purely my opinion - there were a few scenes that could’ve been more polished, and a few others that could’ve been more attentive to details. However, it was a pretty well-built show.


> Enjoyment - 10/10

This is that one category where I can self-indulge and give the rating I feel in my heart it deserves - but technically doesn’t. I loved this show, I enjoyed every single episode (even the first 2 despite being slightly disappointed then) and I cried - I CRIED so much, so so so much. Tears of sadness, tears of happiness, tears of both these emotions mixed together - it was heartfelt chaos and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.


> [Total = 9,29/10]
Overall, Triage is a show that undoubtedly gave us a lot. Some consider it to be the best BL, others consider it to be average, I consider it to be an underrated gem. It’s not my favorite BL but it’s definitely just as good as its predecessor (Manner Of Death) and greatly prepares the ground for what’s to come (Transplant). I had high expectations but it was even better than I could’ve expected. For that, Triage takes the crown.
This show is wonderful and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who isn’t affected by imagery of bl00d, vi0lence and medical emergencies.



Thank you for reading <3

some yall reviews are preety misleading

As the title states "some of yall reviews are very much misleading"and i gotta say i was kinda disappointed yet it was expected. I just so happened to come across triage in mdl and decided to see the reviews before i watched it and i gotta admit the things yall saying about it gave me high hopes and expectations for this and how yall described it is like this is the god amoung bls or smth. . I know its yall opinion but some of yall does go overboard. I am shocked at the rating yall giving this bl and i just find it so funny how almost all of the ratings is either 9, 9.5 or 10
And the titles and the reviews yall giving this bl is not giving persons like me no justice at all
Like for example one of the top reviews title states " THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ASIAN BLS OF ALL TIME" i wouldn't go so far as to say its the best bl of all time and some others take after that person in terms of the title and the reviews as well!!
Anyway
What i like- the chemistry between the main couple, the ending ( that nearly made me cry ), the plot, their acting and (especially tol he is sooo cute XD )

What i dont like - the constant repitition of the time loop, the solution to the time loop( i feel like they couldve solved this problem earlier and better so it could've avoided the casualty of tin), and i also feel that if they adjusted this bl a little more it would've probably been a 10/10

So to conclude it wasnt that bad, it was alright but would i watch it again ..... sadly no as far as i am concerned it should be watched once and done and if it should be watched again i would recommend watching when they start falling for each other.
So ppl if u want a bl with time travel/time loop with romance this is it for you!!!!!

Proceed with caution

I went into this show right after finishing Manner of Death. Now, that was probably all on me. I expected something at par, or maybe just slightly worse off, than MoD.

The premise was very interesting. I managed to watch about 10/13 episodes in one day, even while working. Around episode 6-7 though, is when I realised that I'd lost interest enough to start looking for logic in a lot of things the characters were doing. That came to head during the last 3 episodes, where I was honestly left wondering how I made it this far into the show, and why I was continuing to watch the show still.

The actors did a brilliant job, don't get me wrong. But, somewhere along the way, the plot started to slip enough for me to snap out of my "it's a story, it's not supposed to make sense" mindset and start actively wondering how or why this show has been recommended to me multiple times.

P.S: That MaxTul cameo? I knew it was coming and I squealed with happiness anyway. That was the absolute highlight of this entire show, for me. Which, sadly, tells you enough about how quickly this show lost me.

if you liked Manner of Death you will love this show

As soon as I heard that Dr. Sammon was behind Triage I was more than eager to watch it. I was super excited that we finally get a BL that isn't another engineer/medical student university drama, but a medical/fantasy drama. I know that we got quite a few shows and movies about time loops, but it's the very first time for a BL. Let me break down my review in two parts: The Good and The Bad.

The Good:
- The Acting. Tae and Tee both are able to carry not only their ship but also the show. From subtle to grant emotions. They did a good job portraying the characters. Also the supporting cast did well. Great casting.

- The built-up and the relationshp between Tin and Tol. We follow Tin most of the time and his POV, he only know about Tol what he knows. And I loved how we not only saw Tol opening up over time, we saw Tin opening up as well. At first, Tol was nothing but a drunk university student to him who he must safe for some reason, but over time he learns that Tol isn't what he initially thought he was. To see how them growing from distant aquaintances to close friends to lovers was amazing and well done. Also something I appreciated was that instead of judging and scowling Tol for his fuck-ups, he tried to give him advice and talk to him about it and that led to his big development in character. He didn't help Rit because Tin forced him, but he genuinely changed and understood that he had to make up for his mistakes. And Tin who grew more and more open and kind because of Tol (highlighted more in the last episodes). And to see them both struggle so much to save their loved one and the people they care about, especially Tin who had to go through the pain of losing Tol multiple times, was so heartwrenching but so worth it.

- Apparently not everyone is a fan of the POV switch, but I thought it was great. Within three episode we slowly shift from Tin's to Tol's POV. We start in episode 8 while we are still following Tin, we begin to see more of Tol's inner struggles. In episode 9 we are mostly with Tol, since Tin got stabbed and is unconscious for like half the episode. After everything Tin did, after everything he's been through the last nine episodes, it was only fair for Tol now to do the work. He had to fight for Tin now, also it drew some nice parallels to Tin's earlier attempts and it sort of redeemed Tin's creepy stalker-ish behavior in the early episodes.

- In episode 4 we got that scene with Tin almost half-asleep trying to stay awake having an encounter with Tol. We never got an explanation to how or why that happened. Only in episode 11 we see how things went down and because of this, this scene skyrocketed upwards on my top 10 triage moments list. To watch Tol realise what Tin had went through just to save him and for him to go to him and hug him and giving him some more hope was really satisfying to watch. And it also explained why Tol was so physical with him (the hug and the hand to heart), which was so vastly different from how distant he was back in the first episodes.

- Another thing that speaks for Tol was how he handled things once he found out the true reason Mai has been daiting him. It was exactly how I wished he would react. He wasn't upset or angry or threw a tantrum. He was understanding and offered help and even told her that they could be friends. Really highlighted the growth he had over the last couple of episodes. Episode 1 Tol would never.

- The side characters were great. Toi, Fang, Gap, and Sing were all really a great add not only to lighten the mood but also to talk some sense into Tin once in a while. Also the few scenes we got from Gap and Sing here and there were fun to watch.
- Rit was a great character and my heart broke for him so many times. The little crumps we got from him and Sing were so sweet and heartwarming.

- Each character served a purpose. May it be a minor or major one, but they all were there for a reason and I know that this sounds weird to point out and give credit for, but after watching too many BLs where there is this comically large cast with too many characters that are all there for no other reason than to add more faces to the show, I can not not point it out.

The Bad:
- While I really liked the POV shift from Tin to Tol and the changes that in storyline and character was interesting, I wasn't a fan of the sudden GapSing relationship. I am aware that as a side couple you just don't have much screen time, but we spent nine episodes watching them going from "he hates me" to "they begin to appreciate each other" to suddenly see them cuddling and in an established relationship. Many people on Tumblr shared their theories and why they haven't been dating before and what changed (Tin) but I would've liked an in-world/canon explanation. Or at least a better pay-off. I didn't watch these two bickering and fighting for episode after episode just to see them cuddle in the last two.

- Tol's friends were a real pain in the ass. Same as Gap and Sing there was no no pay-off. They were shown to be reckless, manipulative, and mean and they would do whatever suited them best. And instead of cutting ties with them or idk telling them to quit being such assholes... nothing happened. Rit is now back in their group and working on the project again. That was everything we got. Quite a let down. I hoped that Art would get a grip and stop hanging out with them and only hanging out with Rit and Tol instead.

- Stories that involve any fuckery with the time are careful to handle, since it's so easy to mess up. And while the show didn't mess up in that sense, there were a few established worlbuilding "rules" that did confuse me. In one of the later episodes it's established that kisses can make you remember the past loops. We don't know why. Is it true love? Or does it only work when the person who knows about the loops is kissing someone? Does it still work when Tin kisses other people? Like Sing or Dear? It's never explained, we just have to accept it. Same goes for the notebook. Once a loop ends, everything is set back to how things were at the time Tin wakes up, but for some reason whatever he writes in that notebook stays. I mean, okay, sure. An explanation from Jinta would've been nice ("Here, I'll give you this notebook to help you keep track of things, it isn't effected by the time loops so don't worry about your do-to list disappearing." or idk).

- I know that I said every character served a purpose and I won't backtrack on that, because Dr. Doi did serve a purpose. Just his role in the finale was... a lot. He held Sing and Gap hostage, shot Sing, ran to Dr. Sak and the others to keep Tol and Tin hostage, then tried to kill Tin and ends up in a mental facility because we went crazy. That's a lot.

- The "I'm gone but I'll be back"-ending that I am slowly getting fed up with. I can't tell you how much I am annoyed with that trope. After Doi injects some poison into Tin to kill him, he's in a coma for weeks, we get a montage of Tol visiting him in the hospital, writing diary entries in Tin's notebook for him. Then Tol eventually continues living his life until he meets Tin in the clock tower again. At first Tin pretends that he doesn't remember him, but then drops the "I heard kissing someone can bring back memories" line, which obviously means that he can remember. They kiss. Happy end. The quick "we are seperated for weeks/months/years in a montage but we meet again after weeks/months/years and are now happy together". It's perfect if you don't want any emotional impact. Breaking up/seperating the couple for like ten minutes of screen time (no matter how long it is in their world) has rarely made me cry. At least put him in a coma for half the episode/an entire episode to actually make me notice that he's not part of Tol's life and missing out on things, etc.

- Jinta was such a crucial part of the plot, without him there would be no plot. But while the others had their montages and happy endings, Jinta was never to be seen again. No last goodbye or him watching them from afar and smiling to himself for his plan to work out or idk. I wish we would've gotten one last scene. Also, I still don't quite understand why he did what he did. Like, why would he chose to intervene with fate and make Tin safe Tol? I read a few theories of people saying that he actually wanted to safe Rit because he would make some great invention in the future or something. But, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but we never find out why it's so important for Jinta that Tol survives.

- This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I wish that Tin wasn't able to remember what happened. I can see why people find that happy ending perfect, because it is perfect. But I guess I needed a little more... emotional damage? Like they really got that happy ever after ending with everything and all. Dr. Sak was caught, Mai got her mom into a new hospital with new meds, Sing and Gap are together, Rit is back with his former friends and working on the project, Tin is able to remember everything same as Tol and they are happy and together... The whole difficulty of The Last Loop was that Tin was not able to remember anything. It was a sacrifise that Tol chose to make for his and Tin's happy ending. I'm not saying that he shouldn't remember anything at all, you can still hin at him slowly win back his memory by giving him the magic notebook and let him be like "I think I might remember a few bits and pieces but not much". I just think that it would've been more impactful.

So damn stressful, yet so damn good... *W SPOILERS*

This BL is so good, but the whole time I was stressed. I have never really enjoyed time loops because they have always freaked me out irl. So I didn't expect to enjoy this BL at all, but shockingly, I did. Though I was on edge a lot of the time, it was still a good watch.

Putting the rewatch value pretty low because I feel like this is a one time rush, and I don't think I could stand to watch it again, because how stressful it was.

I do wish the ending was a bit better? It was interesting, the ending, but I feel like it doesn't make much sense. I was kinda hoping that Tin and Tol had a better happy ending. I feel like the whole "almost" death thing after the huge scene at the end was kind of dumb, I was wishing it was just went less overboard. But that is bias of me because I usually prefer to watch more soft BL's.

I am still glad both of them survived in the end, which I was not expecting. I was waiting for a huge plot twist in the end, where one of them or both of them ended up dying, but pleasantly I was surprised.

Story was good, ending maybe not so much. Still would recommend it though.
