Too slow and flat
At first I feel excited to watch this series as for the first 2 eps are giving us the background story and situations for both actors.But sadly to say, starting from ep 3 the series become slower and flat. They are keep repeating the same situation and no character development at all.

I stopped at ep 4 and still finding courageous to continue for next episode.
Overall (based on 4 eps), I like all the actors and actresses, they manage to give me some funny moments and mysterious parts. But i lost the sparks toward the series.

Be on Cloud's Most Impressive Work Yet
A Promising Return: First Impressions of Thailand’s “4 Minutes”After months away from reviewing due to a demanding schedule, I am thrilled to make my comeback with Thailand’s latest series, “4 Minutes.” This series has instantly captivated my attention, and I’m excited to share my impressions of the first two episodes.
A Captivating Introduction
From the moment I read the plot and watched the trailer, I couldn’t help but feel giddy with anticipation. The premise, which revolves around the ability to foresee the future, isn’t entirely new, especially for fans of K-dramas. However, the twist of incorporating this concept into a Boys’ Love (BL) series adds a fresh and intriguing layer. The inclusion of “N scenes” further spices up the narrative, setting “4 Minutes” apart from other series.

their lighting, set and camera just feels too cheap compared to a kdrama, and they are also kinda forcing in a love line; "ml gets sick so fl has to cook for him. insert plot twist, she can't cook but she doesn't know that" thing is overused.
their outfits were cute, and the fl was nice, but their dynamic is also overused that it's just boring to watch. the cases are always like "it's not what it looks like, and we must add a twist" and knowing there's gonna be a twist every single time takes away from the twist.

Must watch
Probably one of the most interesting bls of the past few seasons. It delves into a pretty niche topic, at least I haven't seen much about it, and especially not this well made. Also characters are very interesting and not at all cliché, it's been a long time since I've liked a bl protagonist and Wela too would make anyone sway. The acting is good too and so far I'm interested in seeing how the story goes but overall recommended.Give this series lots of love!! They deserve it !!

Step by step is one of the very few thai bl that I'm pretty much fully invested in, loved the realism of this series(an office setting that truly deals with office related issues and activities, like you would see that this is a working environment) beautiful storyline and character development, slow paced but not boring instead it makes you eager to know what would happen next, would give them 6.5 for the acting cuz I believe some characters can do better. Mr Jeng is deserving of his role, I do say perfect casting, not too extra, his acting are very realistic. And his junior brother is one hell of a fine man, so dame cute(he seem to have some facial similarities with bible from kinnporche), pretty much looking forward to see what happens to the second couple, you can feel their chemistry though I'm not a fan of cheating. Still don't know why Pat friends gives him terrible advice, it's really annoying, and they were scenes that I found cringy in this last ep(3).
I comfortably watched an hour+ runtime ep without skipping any scene, was pretty much looking forward to this series and I'm glad they didn't disappoint(I mean we all know how bad Thai bl can be most times, just sex and vibes) I really hope they don't mess it up at the long run
Y'all please should check out *house of Stars* and tell me what you think, I feel like the drama may have potentials from what I saw in EP1.

too frustrating
I didn't expect things to be so frustrating from the very beginning. 1- people argue too much, there is no scene without a fight. perhaps this add some edging point to the story, but it's just too much. police officers fight against criminals, they fight against the victims' families, and then against their hierarchy and with each other. most of the time people don't understand each other because nobody listens. so I was already on edge from frustration, and then 2- they added the never ending flash back. I had the feeling things were going backwards.the story was ok, but these 2 killed my patience. I dropped.

Such a great start
Honestly I'm just here to say I wholeheartedly appreciate a feminine gay man as the lead role and not a side character.He's cute, he's sassy and seductive. He reminds me of Uea from Bed Friend serving it down look after look with the upmost confidence and I'm absolutely loving every minute of it.
This first episode was so tasteful and easygoing, I love the "messy" drama so far, I'm enjoying the characters of the two main leads, the NC scenes were well placed and made sense. This series is kind of a strange cross between the vibe of Only Friends and Bed Friend (concept-wise at least)

almost a replica of AOL
As a person watched and enjoyed Ashes of Love, Immortal Samsara was a complete let down... It felt like AOL but very very uninteresting... I felt like why am i watching it if can rewatch AOL.. the plot is so similar. And I felt most scenes were cliche and cringe. And the same immature female lead and mature older male lead.. I love the female lead but I think it is time for her to choose her roles carefully.. Most of her roles are being repetitive. Psychologist was a very good attempt. saw a different side of her. But she shiuld stop playing 13 year olds now.. i know it is just the first part of the story, still i am not sold...Was this review helpful to you?
Great first episode, fun to watch
It’s the first episode but I am already having so much fun. The story line was old, after all its shot like 7-8 years ago but acting was good, both leading actors were great portraying their roles. Gu (by Zhang Zhehan) is handsome as always. I am a fan for Zhang Zhehan, this series was one of his earlier works but already showing good acting skills. And very thrilling to watch a super star portraits another superstar. I have to say the screen writing is very old, but it actually brought me a lot of joy, to my own surprise haha. Looking forward to the next episode already.Update: have watched 5 episodes now and it's really fun, I love Gu now, so cute. the puppy is lovely too!

What is this??
Why this trash has a high rate?..Just bc he is handsome? Or she is beauty?
From the beginning it has a bad plot, fvkin storyline
it says comedy romance drama.. but what?? Fishing a catfish? Is it funny?
And a youtuber come to looking for ghost's and or scary place, n what happened???
Their act is like a robot.. or a villager on the camera..
Tf with ppl giving 10/10 , im not haters but wasting my time watching this shitty trash
No value at all oh my gosh
Bla bla yeah .. id rather watching 2 monkey in drama but has a high value storyline, background,music and act
Better than just because he is handsome

What's the point?
I hadn't planned to watch this series, but when I saw the good ratings I wanted to give it a try.Alas, the script is non-existent. The characters are flat and have no depth. It's supposed to be a light comedy, but only the lightness is there without the comedy, and the sound effects weigh it down. I'm not interested, so I'm giving up.
GMM has a hard time producing inventive series these days. The Thai BL industry in general has a similar problem. The Koreans are doing much better!

feels like one of those shows with complicated relationships
Story:(ep1)
I am pretty satisfied with the first episode, it showed enough to make me want to watch on and see how the relationships will unfold. I love the awkwardness between the two leads, it makes the show so much more realistic and relatable (its really cute actually). chae song ah feels like a really accurate representation of the introverts (like myself)., shy, unable to open up to people quickly and share her own opinions. i feel her struggle of wanting to pursue her dream, although it seems like everyone else is against it. She doesn't receive the support from her family, classmates and conductor which is really painful to watch because its not easy to gather the courage to go against the status quo and do what you love. I'm excited to see how the story and characters will develop!
(ep3)
the last scene of this episode just stole my heart away! i just love the chemistry between song ah and joon young, they're exactly what each other needs. although it seems like the story might progress a little slower than I'd like it to, hopefully the plot becomes more interesting

Feminism - The Academy of Male Virtuousness
I hadn't finished watching this drama yet but what I LOVE about it thus far, is that it's not the usual toxic historical Chinese drama, in which the female lead is a damsel in distress that needs saving and the male lead is perfect and doesn't make mistakes. This drama reminds a little of Mr.Queen (a Korean historical drama that is a remake of Go Princess Go, a Chinese historical drama). The difference is the roles are reversed; the male lead is the stay at home husband who wakes up with amnesia, while the female lead is the business woman. Episode 3, at the 39 minute mark is my favorite. It's the scene at The Academy of Male Virtuousness.Note: What could have made this drama better for me, is if the actors/characters were between the ages 25-35 and looked like it. I tend to stop watching dramas, if the characters look under 25 because I am in my 30's. I don't want see romance between high school aged characters lol.
I am so glad that C-dramas and K-dramas are moving away from toxic characters. I will update this review after I've finished watching all of the episodes.

The script stinks for Wold of Fantasy
I love fantasy and special effects. Why do the scripts have to stink so bad? There are just so many scenarios and conversation that don't make sense at all. You get one group killing people from another group but the reactions are not what would be normal. This could be something that is really great but the ridiculous scenarios make it hard to watch. If you kidnap me and kill people from my family, I'm not going to be forgiving or ask you for forgiveness for things I do to you. Yet, in this story that is exactly what happens.Was this review helpful to you?
