I think this is a p*rn
I have always enjoyed Khun Sammon's works. Previously, I watched Triage and Manner of Death, so naturally, I expected 4Minutes to be as good as those two. It still has the medical field element, and the concept itself is unusual for Thai BL but actually quite familiar in Khun Sammon's works. Because of that, I went in with high expectations and thought I would enjoy it.
However, from the first episode, I already had some difficulties getting into the story. I was distracted by how explicit the steamy scene was, especially because at that point I still hadn't fully understood where the story was going. I continued to episode 2, but unfortunately, the combination of a complicated plot and very explicit mature scenes didn't work well for me. The storyline itself has potential, but the way it was presented made it harder for me to connect with the series. Also, the acting was not the problem. The actors delivered their performances well—they didn't feel stiff, awkward, or unnatural. The emotions and chemistry were there, and I could see the effort they put into their characters.
It's not that I have a problem with mature content, especially when it fits the story and characters. But for me, the balance felt off. The explicit scenes became more noticeable than the actual plot, and that affected my overall experience. Sadly, 4Minutes didn't meet my expectations, especially because I was comparing it to the quality and storytelling I experienced from Triage and Manner of Death.
