Can we talk about the elephant in this room?

Time travel,time-loop,mess with time.My absolute cup of tea!Add a BL and here iam,me in my happy place.I was waiting patiently for this to end,I just finished the final episode.So, because of the time-loop mostly there was no chance i wouldn't watch this.I was rooting for Tae and Tee since 2Moons.I was excited when i heard about their reunion in Triage.I was expecting great things from both of them...

I usually enjoy reading reviews and most of the time i find them really helpful.I respect every opinion too.But at the end of the day,the final "verdict" is mine and only mine.
So here we go.

Music:The intro theme was suspensful.The outro song was good.And pretty much that's all about the music!

Production/Cinematography/Directing/Editing:Sometimes all was in a good level.Most of the times,it wasn't. I thought this series had a high budget.If yes,i didn't see it.If no..it showed!The use of the camera often was weird.The indoor scenes had many issues.Like they were filming all of them in a 3x3 studio.(or maybe they did,i really don't know this)Outdoors was much better but still..I didn't like scenery too.Dull and boring pictures passing infront of my eyes.

Cast/acting:And here is the big elephant!
I know all actors tried hard and wanted the best outcome.But "trying" and "doing" is not always the same.
Firstly i will talk about the 2 main leads.In the first half or so of the series both were a big disappointment.Almost in every scene i felt they were just reading their lines(remember some scenes at Uni while all having coffee,just recall or rewatch the acting there and you wil see what i mean)I felt no chemistry either.They didn't convince me.Couldn't deliver any feeling to me.The acting wasn't natural and they couldn't pull me into their characters.I was frustrated on their behalf. Like i was the actress and couldn't act myself.
To be fair their acting and chemistry too,was improved drastically,after the second half.They had their moments But still wasn't what i expected and wanted to see.Still, i cannot say acting was in high tiers!
Supporting actors were bad!Especially that Mai girl.After one of the resets she lost her mother.Her crying in that scene was beyond awful!Seriously.Iam sorry.Please do not hate me.Bright exceptions were Art and Gap.Only their acting was closer to natural.

Characters:i will not talk much about the chars.I actually really liked everyone,including the bad guys.(in a parallel universe id love to watch Triage again with a complete different cast)

Story/plot:The big plus of this series.As i said iam a time-loop sucker.Big time!I loved the story,i enjoyed the story-line.After watching dozens of series and movies about time mess i knew what to expect.I wasn't bored or annoyed of the repetitive dialogues or scenes,especially in the earlier episodes.Im not a newbie to this genre so i didnt bother.
Reset after reset the story was getting better and better.More interesting too.More infos and details were given.I always was excited at every episode.Was curious how the story evolved and how they were gonna solve thes issues occured from the previous resets etc.It took me some time to understand how Tin reseted time on demand(like going back more and more days)Of course it was Jinta's doing!Shame on me,lol.
It was such a brilliant and emotional story.Trully loved it.Unfortunately all the feelings stayed in the papers,couldn't get through the screen.
I really wanted to rate this higher.But i can't turn a blind eye to all those things i didn't like.It would be like cancelling all my previous 9+ ratings so far and this is not fair to all the other series.
Still it was a very enjoyable show.No regrets for watching it.
