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.
