Reset

Swoony Romance Meets Soap Opera Energy

I really wanted to love Reset, I swear I did 😩. This kind of concept is exactly the kind of thing that usually hooks me right away. When I saw Thailand was dropping another time travel BL, I was honestly super hyped. But the more I watched, the more I kept thinking, wow, this feels way more like a messy “sinetron” than the sharp, emotional time-bending drama I was hoping for. Endless melodrama, exaggerated tropes, and way too many dragged out scenes made it hard for me to stay invested. Instead of diving deeper into the “what if”s of changing fate, we got a lot of unnecessary filler that just stretched out the run time.

One of my biggest gripes? The 25-year time jump that looked like… well, no time jump at all. Like, come on! You can’t tell me people look exactly the same after two decades without even a wrinkle, a hairstyle change, or some aging makeup. It really pulled me out of the story. On top of that, the pacing often felt bogged down by overly long bed scenes that didn’t add much besides fan service. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-romance, in fact the chemistry between Pond and Peterpan is undeniable, and a lot of fans are swooning over it. But when those moments eat up runtime instead of letting the time travel plot breathe, the whole balance of the show feels off. I guess I’ve gotten used to Chinese dramas where the episodes are shorter but tighter, so this slower, more draggy style just didn’t click with me.

I can’t pretend the series is all bad. The leads are honestly what save the whole thing. Pond brings this magnetic presence to Armin, and Peterpan’s Thada is all in with his devotion. I totally believe Thada loved Armin with his entire being. Their chemistry is strong enough that a lot of people are watching just for them, and I get that 👏. There are even some standout side characters (I’m with everyone who loved the bodyguard/assistant for his charm and comic timing). Plus, the cinematography is beautiful in parts and the production clearly wasn’t cheap. It just sucks that the writing didn’t match the same level of care.

Reset had the potential to be something clever and emotional. A story about using hindsight to change your fate and maybe even repair your heart, but it didn’t dig deep enough. Instead, it leans heavily on melodrama and romance, which works if that’s what you came for, but is disappointing if you wanted a more layered story.

Disappointed to say

I really struggled finishing this show, I should have stopped when it took me four tries to start episode one. I only watched because I wanted to support the actors. The story itself was okay, interesting enough to keep me watching, but honestly, it really shouldn’t have been more than 5 episodes. Between the few scenes where something actually happened, there was just… nothing. So many filler moments that added no value to the plot.

The actor who played the brother… I’m sorry, but I’ve never seen acting that bad before. It was genuinely cringy, I couldn’t watch him, I skipped every one of his scenes.

Because the show dragged on so much, I ended up watching the whole thing on 2x speed. And the OST? The same song played over and over again, not catchy, just repetitive to the point where, by episode 4, every time it came on, I felt like stopping.

That said, I did love the acting of the main characters. They really carried the show. It could have been so much better if the directing had been stronger, the potential was there, but the execution just wasn’t it. I wish everyone involved the best for the future, lots of love!

wasted potential

I wish I liked this as much as most people did. and in the beginning I really was liking it. unfortunately it ended with so much disappointment.

I loved the premise, the time travel and revenge plot. It had the potential to do so well, and started off so strong, but it ended up falling very flat.

Pond’s acting was amazing! I’ve only seen him in Fourever You before this, and in that drama he basically had 2.5 expressions the whole time lol. this drama made me realize that it was more of an issue with the direction, and not his acting skills. if I hadn’t seen him here, I wouldn’t have known just how amazing he can be when given the proper scope. this was my first time seeing Peterpan, and BOY is he handsome! the chemistry he had with Pond was FIIIIIREEEE😭 their chemistry was the only thing that kept me going tbh.

now comes the bad parts, which was a lot of things. first of all, I wish the time jump was a little bit shorter instead of 25 years. in the present times the main leads would be somewhere around 45-50 years old, since Armin couldn’t have been any younger than 20 in the years ago timeline. 25 years isn’t really an insignificant time. I’m not expecting them frail and old, but the characters looked like they hadn’t aged a single day. just brushing the hair back and putting on glasses doesn’t make anyone look 25 years older. if the time jump really had to be 25 years and no less than that, least they could’ve done is investing a little bit more on making the make up a bit more believable. it’s not that hard in this day and age.

Armin’s hairstyle at the beginning of time jump was ridiculous, and made him look like he fled from a mental asylum or something. thank God that hair was gone soon😭

the story started off so intriguing, but become increasingly stupid as the show progressed. the acting of most a lot of the side characters and the direction often ended up being lakorn-like, and it was not enjoyable in any way. the villain felt like a cartoon character throwing tantrums.

the most annoying part for me was the sound. in top of the post production dubbing that made everything they said sound so fake, the use of sound effects and bgm in every waking second almost made my ears bleed. the fact that it kept switching from overly dramatic, to comedic, to romantic, to something else constantly didn’t help either. at one point I literally had to watch it on mute for some time, it was that unbearable.

overall, this just felt like a waste of potential 💔

the only reason why I didn’t rate it lower than this is because of the main leads’ acting and chemistry. I hope we get to see Peterpan and Pond together in another series again, because it would be a shame to not utilize that chemistry again!

Sugar Baby & his Stalker

The priorities and pacing of the storyline is all over the place. It chooses over long fan service moments over building momentum to the key mystery or revenge motivations. Most of the so called romantic moments are anything but and grinds the story to a halt. It's also disappointing so much time could have gone to building relationships with other people in Armin's life and also fleshing out his character more.

We never learn if he has any family, why it's only Phat and P'Jeed who he loves as an aunt. He never spends much time with Phat, his best friend at all or see exactly how he's helping P'Jeed live a healthier lifestyle as she treats her illness. We are never shown that Phat wanted to learn to be a chef until Armin randomly enrolls Phat in culinary school. There are moments when the show is so unintentionally funny like when Armin crashes the car from the film set and his neck length hair wig falls off to reveal his even longer neck length hair and then he cuts his hair to reveal a hair cut that's like his wig. The scene where Armin delivers his one line scene as a background actor was supposed to be amazing, but it was pretty lackluster, which made the dissonance of the scene unintentionally bad funny too. Though to be charitable, Armin's first life in his twenties is a truly atrocious actor, so in comparison it would be good, but not to the level of the reactions to all around him. The actual actor for Armin is not that bad throughout the entire show either, but not overly impressive in that scene. Armin didn't need to let Charlie feel him up to set up Sam with Charlie, it's so nonsensical.

Tada is a creepy stalker who stalked Armin for multiple decades. Tada also made his relationship with Narin creepy, exchanging sex for company favors as his boss and didn't stop until he got with the object of his stalking who he sets up a lead role for unbeknownst to Armin even though he could have gotten it on his decades of acting practice and who also ends up working for him. Seeing him him cradle Armin's corpse in the original timeline was very creepy. It's so annoying when one character asks another a direct question and isn't answered. Armin even questions it, but then lets it go for no reason when it's the extremely suspicious behavior he noticed of the guy always knowing what he's doing and where he is all the time, that he KNOWS wasn't a part of his life during that era of his life. There is no reason for him to not have just directly reached out to Armin instead of secretly following him around and manipulating his life, especially after the reveal of how Armin saved Tada from committing suicide when they were teenagers.

It's also ridiculous that Armin couldn't put two and two together that Tada is TD from the name and behavior until getting the watch gift delivered from Weinai. It turns out that Armin is into getting the leg up with Tada's resources anyways. He's not too proud to be have connections and gifts. Tada could have gotten Armin some acting lessons, which would have been helpful. The drama is strongest once Armin stops rampaging and destroying things and pushing over people, which happening more than once is really annoying, and finally settling in using his acting skills, tempering himself to be smarter in situations, while using his foreknowledge to move ahead in the acting career that he's always wanted as well as figuring out who murdered him. But that goes out the window when he starts dating his stalker. The show implies that Armin's stalker obsession was so strong that his will is what brings both his and Armin's consciousness back to the past to live a new life.

There are a few scenes between Arimin and Tada that does work the scenes where Armin takes Tada back to cook him dinner and they switch over to Tada's stalker apartment to utilize the actual kitchen, Armin telling Tada off and putting his hand around his face somehow in loving frustration in the hallway for ruining the filming schedule with Tada having the bodyguards drag off the poor props department guy, the rare actual hilarious scene of Tada's intimidating apology to the props guy, and Armin making a cute bento for Tada which even Weinai wants to try. Weinai, Tada's right hand man has perfect comic timing. The gag of him accidentally saying the actual thing that was told to him or happening in front of him is not over used and he's cute with manager Janine, no notes. Every scene with Thiwthi the step brother is the worst. I get chewing the scenery, but he was just straight up ruining it with horrible over acting.

My Heart Has Been Reset

Past 10 weeks, Mondays have been incredible because of Reset. Wow. This show kicks off with a bang and doesn’t let up for a second. Another time-travel BL — but this time, we’re going back into the past ⏳ — and it totally gave me My Stand-In vibes (in the best way)!

Pond as Armin 💙 truly shines here. I loved him in Fourever You, but this role suits him even better. His chemistry with Thada (Peterpan) 💛 is magnetic. No hate to Earth (I adore him 🥺), but Pond and Peterpan just click. 👏

All 10 episodes are over an hour long ⏱️, yet they fly by. Not a single dull moment — just pure emotion, mystery, and intensity 🎢🔥.

And let’s talk visuals — the 1999 setting is chef’s kiss 👏✨. From vintage cars 🚗 and old-school phones 📞 to the old houses and clothes 🏡, you can feel the production effort.

That line — “My life has been reset” 💔 — ties so beautifully into the title and theme. A perfect metaphor for love, second chances, and fate.

The romantic scenes are unforgettable:

That kiss on the beach was already 🔥.
The NC pool scene? Next level. The purple-pink lighting, the sensual music, and those four words — “I am yours, Tada” — right before that passionate kiss… pure electricity 💦💋.
Episode 6’s love scene was like poetry in motion: tender, aching, spellbinding.
Episode 9’s bathroom-to-sofa scene was soft yet intense, love unfolding in real time.
The shooting scene in Episode 8 was haunting and raw, and Peter caring for Pond in the hospital right after melted my heart. 💔
The finale with both of them crying in the hospital had me emotional all over again.
And can we talk about Veynai, the bodyguard? 🔥 He’s so hot and adorable. I really hope we see him in more series — he totally stole some scenes for me!

Once again, Peter and Pond were exceptional. Their chemistry is so natural, so magnetic — it didn’t feel like acting. It felt like truth.

I can’t believe it’s over. It feels like just yesterday I pressed play on Episode 1, wide-eyed and curious, not knowing I would fall this deep. Good things always seem to slip through our fingers too soon.

I only wish it were longer — because I’m not ready to say goodbye. 💔✨

A star's end is a supernova, yet its death gives birth to the light of countless others.

I started watching Reset casually, with a relaxed mindset, only to finish it with a contented smile. It’s true what they say about journeys—you can only truly appreciate the path once you look back on it from beginning to end. The same holds true for a film, and indeed, for a human life.

Speaking of the film, Reset truly needs to be evaluated by its beginning, its middle, and its end. What lingers after the credits roll is a feeling of being slightly adrift, a warmth, and a sense of nostalgia, as if I’ve witnessed years, even lifetimes, pass by, all centered around a single, fated love. If I had to make a comparison, the feeling is akin to finishing a long novel series. The plot points may not be perfect, the twists sometimes clumsy, with issues in pacing and a few confusing details, but ultimately, the completeness of the story’s journey takes you somewhere. It leaves you with a poignant, bittersweet feeling. Reset is just that—imperfect, sometimes awkward and uneven, yet when the characters' journey concludes, what remains is a current of emotion, the sense that Tada and Armin's love story continues on in their world, in this life and the next. And honestly, I’m happy for them.

Speaking of life, a person's life is perhaps the most difficult journey to evaluate. The way we are born is different from the way we die, and the way we live our years doesn't directly lead to the circumstances of our departure. A person who lives a righteous life can still die an unjust death. So, how do we measure a successful life? Did we live happily? If we could go back to a single moment, would we make a different choice? No one knows, for each person lives only once. In that final moment of reflection, as everything flashes before our eyes, we will answer all these questions for ourselves. We will judge how we lived, loved, hated, what we endured, and how we died, from both a subjective and objective viewpoint, as if watching someone else's story. Life has a beginning and an end, and we often imagine our years on earth as a kind of journey—a "path of life," perhaps? Returning to Reset, it revisits the theme of returning to the past, of redoing one's life to change regrets. This time, both Armin and Tada are granted the power to reset their lives. This means that when they reached the end of their path and evaluated all they had been through, they were given a chance to return to the beginning, to write a different life, to walk a different journey. That parallel universe of time and space is destiny's gift to their love and their regrets. But I believe it is also a different life, one that doesn't overwrite the past. Armin and Tada don't relive the same life twice; they are simply living two different lives. Their reality is created by the choices they make in the present moment, and the past no longer dictates their path. From the moment they met their destiny in each other, all other fates began to shift. In the end, there was no other destiny for them but each other.

Honestly, I spent the early episodes trying to guess Reset's primary genre. Would it be a "rebirth and revenge" story, with a protagonist using their foreknowledge to triumph over betrayers and cherish those they once overlooked? Or would it be a crime investigation thriller, a hunt for a culprit? I generally assumed it would follow a "single protagonist" narrative, with love as a mere side element. But by the final episodes, looking back at the journey, I realized the ultimate theme the film was always steering towards was love. Love that creates meaning, love that saves, love that reverses fate and bends space-time. A love that heals, regenerates, and resurrects. Tada's love saved Armin more than once, and most importantly, it brought Armin back to life, both physically and spiritually. It was a love that stood quietly in the darkness but shone with the light of a guardian angel. Armin's love began with compassion, then blossomed into a response, a returned gaze, a deliberate kiss. It was a love that came from the light and remained in the light. Ultimately, the driving force of the entire film, the core element that stands at the center of every plot point and character, overshadowing everything else, has always been "love." I believe "love" was also the catalyst for the conflicts and challenges, the cause of death and rebirth, the force that controlled and propelled the darkness in the villains and the light in the heroes. Behind forgiveness lies love; behind hatred, in the end, there is still only love.

That is all I wish to say about the film's message. The ending can be considered perfect—complete and beautiful. It pulled down the red curtain to reveal the brilliant words "Happy Ending." It is no exaggeration to say this is one of the most satisfyingly happy endings I have ever seen. It masterfully comes full circle while also extending the story forward, allowing the viewer's emotions to linger in a state of fulfilled joy. The final act—or more broadly, the last two episodes—excellently fulfilled their mission of encapsulating the entire film, creating a powerful and lasting impression. It gave me answers (along with justifications I found acceptable) to questions I had from the beginning, questions I was ready to leave unanswered. This successfully elevated my final impression of the film. Indeed, what better explanation is there than the power of love, of the desire to be loved, and to live—to truly live one life to its absolute fullest?

I never thought this film would evoke so much emotion in me, nor did I think I would write so much about it. But alongside the feelings stirred by the final moments, I still have mixed feelings about the early episodes. Of course, most things were ultimately explained by the power of "love," but for some reason, I didn't deeply feel the connection between the main couple in the beginning. The fated love story felt a bit too rushed, lacking a certain smoothness in the emotional transition (mostly on Armin's part, as he truly had no romantic feelings for Tada in his previous life). Another small issue is that some events in the second life, which were caused by the new Armin's choices, also occurred identically in the first life. Some character actions also felt a bit stilted, as if they were just following a script rather than acting naturally. The fact that Armin spoke too much about his rebirth or behaved in a way that was too "over-the-top" for his true age was also a minor distraction (though to be fair, Armin wasn't the most mature character in his first life either). Furthermore, there were some plot holes in the time-setting (the 1999 setting wasn't really explored in depth). I was honestly hoping for a more developed revenge trope, wishing the conspiracies were more thrilling. The film often felt a bit too "safe" and stable; in some episodes, moments of danger failed to build peak emotional tension. I also found myself preferring the scenes where Tada and Armin were already in an established relationship over their ambiguous early stages, which is a rare preference for me.

Overall, Reset is still a good film. It has a classic feel, and its plot—a wealthy, powerful CEO who can move mountains falls for only one person, a reborn actor on his way to the top—is quite appealing, easy to watch, and satisfying. There is clear investment in the visuals and set design. While I wouldn't say Reset managed to "reconfigure" my worldview, it is ultimately an interesting, deep, and captivating film that took me by surprise.

***

(A personal musing: Watching this film brought to mind my thoughts on the "rebirth and revenge" trope. I always wonder: are the "bad guys" truly deserving of retribution for actions they haven't yet committed in the protagonist's second life? Does evil exist in one's nature—meaning that no matter the universe, those people will repeat their malicious acts? Like Sam in the film: if Armin had never loved Charlie, would Sam have betrayed Armin for Charlie anyway? And, with a perhaps naively humane thought, I always wonder why characters with a second chance don't try to change events in a way other than revenge. Because if revenge is necessary, shouldn't the target be the person who harmed them in the *previous* life, not the "past version" of their betrayer, the "child who will grow up to be a monster"? In every sense, they are two different people who have or have not yet experienced different things. On this point, I think Reset touches upon this slightly, as Armin's initial intention isn't pure revenge, but rather to live a less miserable life and fulfill his destiny of meeting Tada. The revenge I hoped for was simply to see him return the blow to those who wronged him in this new life—like Lily, Ren, or Thiwthit...)

Cute but super repetitive

It was cute, but it was just a bit repetitive and became kind of boring. Like I genuinely think they could have cut the series in half and it would have been more effective, 10 episodes was too long and they just kept repeating scenes over and over.
Like literally half the series is “omg villain so evil”, “omg, Armin got hurt, now he’s in the hospital” “big daddy TD will make it all better with his fat stacks and even fatter—“

The main villain is so cartoonish and camp, I actually live looool. Like, they went all the way with it, so it actually worked. He was so stupid, I was entertained.

Anyway, it was cute, but there were some parts I watched at like 2x speed cause it was a bit of a slog.

A Masterpiece of Chemistry and Acting

I watched 8 episodes in one night and then I regretted it the next morning because I want at least 80 episodes of this. So be aware before watching this because you WILL want more and you WILL go searching through Youtube for more content.

Cast: When you bring an actor like Pond in a serious BL, you know you're about to witness a performance that will leave an impact on you (exhibit A: 180 degrees longitude passes through us). His acting is flawless as always, but what makes this drama so impactful is his partner, Peterpan. I haven't seen him before but he plays the part of a man in love so beautifully. The supporting cast fulfills their roles perfectly too.

Chemistry: This is where the real strength of this drama lies. The plot is good don't get me wrong but the sheer raw chemistry between Peterpan and Pond will have you thinking you're intruding on a real couple. I don't know what they did in their rehearsals but it feels like they're are an established couple for years (which they're not). The intimacy scenes is probably the best ever I've seen in any drama, watching them will make you understand what "making love" means.

Plot: Its a unique plot, there's only few dramas like this one. Its more emotion-driven than story-driven which is not an issue at all, there's some mystery which is interesting but that's not the central point. Its a good plot, nothing that'll blow your minds but also nothing that'll bore you. The pacing could be better, but that's just be wanting more PeterPond moments. Edit after ep 10: the plot is gooooooood, the last few episodes have some insane tension.

Overall, give it a try. Watch at least till episode 4 before thinking of dropping. Pond's performance is always a treat to watch and Peterpan allevates it to new levels.

A story about second chances, rebuilding gently, and loving someone deeply enough to cross lifetimes

Some shows win us over with their story, others with their visual charm, and a few ones with a kind of chemistry that feels almost alive, something that slips through the screen and lands right in the viewer’s chest. Reset, the Thai BL led by Pond and Peterpan, belongs to that last category. The premise may sound familiar: a man is given the chance to go back in time and fix the mistakes that led him to a tragic end. However, Reset isn’t interested in complicated sci-fi; it wants to talk about love, and it does so with such clear sincerity that resisting it becomes almost impossible.

The setup is simple, almost deceptively so: Armin, an actor undone by the people closest to him, is given a second chance to rebuild himself after a “reset”. On this new path, he crosses Tada’s orbit once more, a CEO who could have easily been just another cold, unreachable archetype; but he isn’t. Tada moves differently, at his own rhythm. He loves through details and bold gestures alike; he observes before speaking; he protects long before admitting it out loud. He is the kind of character who quietly restores one’s faith in romance, perhaps the series’ greatest triumph.

And if the story draws its strength from the bond between its leads, it’s the cast that gives this connection its heartbeat. Pond and Peterpan deliver one of the most natural, luminous chemistries Thai BL has offered in recent years. There is something unpretentious, almost magical, in the way they lock eyes, respond instinctively, improvise without forcing the moment. Pairing Pond, an experienced actor who rarely repeats co-stars, with Peterpan, a newcomer whose emotional openness is genuinely disarming, results in a duo that glows. It’s the kind of dynamic that makes the audience forget they’re watching fiction at all.

The series also succeeds beautifully in placing romance at its emotional center. Every confession, every small act of affection, every quiet moment between them is crafted with almost artisanal care. The more intimate scenes avoid empty explicitness, and instead, lean into emotion, guided by a direction that understands how to balance sensitivity and poetry. Reset handles these moments with such grace that the result often feels unexpectedly, dazzlingly romantic, the kind of tenderness that wells up not from sadness, but from the sheer beauty of witnessing love portrayed with such honesty.

But Reset isn’t carried by its couple alone, and the show knows it. Veynai, Tada’s secretary, could easily have faded into the background, yet he never does. Loyal, softhearted, and always precise, he brings warmth to the workplace and lightness to the drama. He becomes emotional support when needed, but also a steady presence that enriches the world around the leads. And alongside him stands Janine, Armin’s manager, who steals scenes with the same ease he protects his artist. Grounded, intuitive, and fiercely devoted, Janine adds heart to Armin’s journey, offering both guidance and genuine affection. His presence rounds out the emotional core of the series.

Of course, Reset isn’t without flaws. The first half, responsible for building the mystery around the reset and the threats surrounding Armin, falters. The pacing hurries where it should breathe and lingers where it should move on, creating a sense of imbalance that slightly blurs the emotional throughline. Some plot threads feel introduced only to be abandoned later, and the tonal shifts between suspense and romance aren’t always as smooth as they could be, making the early episodes feel less cohesive than the story ultimately deserves.

But the biggest issue is undeniably Thiwthit, the antagonist. Tada’s brother, reworked into the main villain for the adaptation, becomes the show’s weakest link, not only because the writing stretches his motivations thin, but because the performance never fully lands. Emotional moments that should feel tense or unsettling often come across as exaggerated or disconnected, pulling the narrative away from its intended weight. His scenes can be genuinely difficult to sit through, creating spikes of discomfort that clash with the emotional subtlety the rest of the series works so carefully to build.

Still, there is something almost generous in the way the script resolves its heaviest conflicts at the very beginning of the final episode, giving the entire last chapter over to what truly matters: peace. Reset understands the value of letting the audience exhale with its characters, without rushing to tie every loose thread. It’s rare to see a series treat its ending as a quiet celebration rather than frantic damage control; and that choice elevates its finale to something tender and deeply emotional.

And what a finale it is. The hospital scene, the proposal, the lucky necklace carrying whole lifetimes of meaning, and the quiet certainty that their love survived time itself, literally and metaphorically. Armin and Tada finish their journey hand in hand, exchanging words that brush the edge of poetry while never losing the everyday warmth that makes them real. Their happiness feels genuine, almost radiant, and the show embraces it without irony or hesitation. It stands as one of the most moving proposals ever portrayed in a BL drama, a closing chapter that lingers long after the final frame.

In the end, Reset succeeds because it keeps its heart exactly where it should be. It refuses to drown itself in complicated time-travel theories. It answers what needs to be answered and leaves the rest suspended in mystery, the way life often does. Its heart lies not in changing the past but in choosing how to live when given the chance to begin again. And Armin, retracing his steps, finds exactly what had been missing: a love steady enough to guide him back, honest enough to ground him, and strong enough to transform him.

The result is a BL that, even with its imperfections and despite its missteps, emerges as one of the year’s most memorable, standing just a step behind Khemjira in both impact and emotional resonance. A story about second chances, about rebuilding gently, and about loving someone deeply enough to cross lifetimes. Reset isn’t just beautiful, it’s deeply felt. The sort of series that settles softly in the heart and glows there for a while, reminding you of why romance, when done with care, still matters.

A Gripping Journey Through Time, Love, and Consequences

Reset is a captivating series that blends striking cinematography with a well crafted script. The narrative follows Armin’s compelling journey as he attempts to navigate and ultimately change his future. While his extended sequences of internal dialogue occasionally slowed the pacing (and was slightly annoying), they also served as a thoughtful device to reveal his process of piecing together the truth and why the people from his past played an important role with all the events that transpired. His repeated references to future events/slang/things felt like his subtle way of signaling to Thada that he truly came from that time, so when those moments eventually unfolded he would see what he’s been saying is true.

All the characters are richly developed, each serving a distinct purpose that adds emotional depth and narrative weight to the story. The progression is well paced, skillfully weaving together events from the future and the past, tying up most loose ends and addressing lingering questions. The conclusion felt satisfying and emotionally resonant, providing a strong sense of closure.

That being said, a few questions remain unanswered:
1. What became of Ren, was he ever found? I know he said he wanted to be an actor only, but with all he did what path did he end up on?
2. Was Lilly ever held accountable for her what she was doing to the talents?
3. Did Achi ever break away from Lilly? And if not, did he manage to distance himself from Lilly and come to realize that she had been using him all along?

Overall, Reset is a gripping, emotionally charged experience. It kept me on edge, evoked laughter and tears, and delivered moments of genuine shock. Without question, it stands among the best BL dramas to emerge in 2025.

I want a Thada in my life RIGHT NOW

Damn!!
Every. Single. Episode. Had me kicking my feet, screaming into the void, and clutching my pillow like it was Amin himself. What first pulled me into the BL world was the eyes, the longing, the devotion, the soul-shaking glances and Reset gave me that in overdose. I’m not recovering anytime soon.

Let’s talk about Thada.
This man isn't just in love. He worships. He breathes Amin. His entire being shifts when Amin is happy or hurting. That smile? Reserved for Min-Min. That heartbreak? Always tied to him. And don't even get me started on the hunger for that second wish. The man was STARVING. 😮‍💨
And that office kiss? With Wenai casually walking in? My mind replays that scene like a favorite playlist.
Thada’s love for Armin is so strong that it triggered a reset when Armin died in the first episode—and this brought Armin back to him. 🥰

> "As for me, with this new life. I want nothing else except him." – Armin
> #Armin'sLover #IWannaKissYou
> "You've got it."

Amin, my beautiful phoenix.
To see him crumble, reset, and then rebuild himself from the ground up—it was healing. He remembered what matters: not fame, but family, love, and finding peace. His journey with Aunty Jeed and his bestie? So heartwarming. And Pond? Pond is celestial. Literal visual poetry.❤️

Wenai deserves his own show.
Not just a secretary. He’s Thada’s voice of reason, his emotional support human, his secret keeper. That Thada-Wenai English-speaking bond? Instant serotonin. I swear, I’d watch a whole 16-episode spinoff of just their witty banter and silent eye-rolls.

Janine = pure sunshine.

Thiwthit and his chaotic toddler tantrums had me wheezing. The way he throws fits and lowkey simps for Thada?? It’s giving “delusional side character energy” and I ate it up. 😂😂
As for Ren …meh. I don’t know if it’s the character or the actor, but I couldn’t connect. He felt like an unnecessary footnote in an otherwise perfect novel.

Now here’s my truth bomb:
Reset confirmed something I’ve been suspecting for a while—celebrity love stories are my BL soft spot. ✨ This year alone, I’ve devoured My Stand-In, ThamePo, Top Form, Knockout, and now Reset. Each one giving me fictional love stories I want to wrap around my soul.

I feel blessed no, spoiled by the BL gods this year. 🙏🏽❤️
