Setting the standards for BL
This show is soo good it feels illegal to even write a review of it. Like I don't want to spoil the thrill for others watching it for the first time.This show has made me rethink my ratings for the series that I have previously rated higher. So I give this series a 100/10.
There were some minor loopholes offcourse but despite that I would still say for a Thriller, Mystery, romance(if it was) this show is a trendsetter for BLs.
So I will rather keep it short
Why to watch this series:
1. Storytelling might seem confusing but it makes up for it in the end and that is the reason what makes you soo engaged to the series as you'll have a lot of questions.
2. Beautiful top quality cinematography
4. Amazing acting from the whole cast
5. CGi and visual effects done right
6. Unique storyline and engaging plot
7. Flawed and complex characters
8. NC scenes were realistic and didn't feel cringe or fake
Improvement points:
Series should have been atleast 10-12 episodes rather than 8 episodes to explore the Main characters more.

OSCAR WINNING SERIES
Woowo , mind-blowing, masterpiece, I didn't expect to see such solid and intresting plot from thai bl industry.. this is specially for time travel lovers... I like the was they played with timelines and in last the wrapped up everything perfectly.. no loophole whole 4 minute concept was perfectly explained in whole series... Their is 3 timeline in which 2 timelines are Virtual (fake) world ..In last 10 min of ep 8 it was explained why and what "4 min "actually is...
And
(Spoiler) Pls remember everything that happens with kla and korn is reality, they just used 4 min concept for Thyme and great ..
And just focus on each and every single details ( cardiac arrest) ....

A True Gold Star Show
First, the story: BOC has gathered together some super talented actors,who are spectacular at conveying their characters' emotions. I have not, at any time, been taken out of a moment because of bad acting. Every single actor has kept me enthralled in the story. That's unusual for me in a Thai BL. second, the story itself and how it's being parceled out each episode is chef's kiss to perfection. No repeating plot points and detours through stupid side stories that do not pertain to the main plot.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A Well Scripted Thriller with Intriguing Characters
A Captivating Journey Through Time and Love – A Final Review of “4 Minutes”After watching all eight episodes of Thailand’s “4 Minutes”, I can confidently say this series has been a compelling roller coaster of emotions, mystery, and passion. What started as an intriguing premise quickly transformed into a layered narrative that kept me glued to the screen. Each episode unraveled new dimensions of time, relationships, and personal growth, making it one of the most thought-provoking BL series I’ve watched.
A Love Story Rooted in Time
Great and Tyme’s chemistry started to develop by Episodes 3 and 4, pushing their love story to unprecedented emotional heights. Great, who has the extraordinary capacity to see four minutes into the future, begins to realize how this ability impacts not just his life but also his relationships with people in general and Tyme in particular. Great’s fragility is progressively revealed by the plot, especially when he confides in Tyme about the dreams he has of him, which is a precursor to the love tension that will develop throughout the episodes.

P'Sammon; thank you for humbling me
Let me be honest with you, I was a bit cocky. As I expecting everything will happen from ep 1 to ep 5, and the majority of my expectations were true (except of one major thing). Up until that point, I was gonna give this drama 7 or 7.5 as it's a drama were you can predict everything will happen.Then I watch ep 6, I gasped. It was like a slap in my face telling me "respect P'Sammon".
From ep 6 to the final, the rating was going up until 8.5
This drama... You can predict and unpredict what's gonna happen, give it a shot.

A Good Story, Well Narrated
This was actually a good thriller. A good story well narrated. A smart film, probably not meant for everyone.I liked the freshness of the narrative. That's because I couldn't predict the next things to come, which I found refreshing. At some point I thought they were mocking my brains because some twist of events seemed illogical. But in the next episode, it became clear that the apparent nonsense wasn't a nonsense at all. I had a burning question for an episode or two, but afterward, I understood that the explanation was there all the time. It appears that I was somewhat misled by the rapid pace and intensity of the show and mistaken that explanation for hints. I also liked the attention given to the details, the symbolism used throughout the entire series, the fact that everything was well thought, well-designed, the logic was flawless and everything fell into place in terms of logical deduction. To me, it almost felt like the filmmakers were mathematicians. :-D :-D
The acting was very good, and the direction was superb.
Having included Vivaldi in the OST tracks automatically grants a 10 mark from me. But generally speaking, the music was good, well-chosen, and well-matched to the scenes. Also, it doesn't have too much of it, so it's not redundant or annoying.
I will definitely watch this show again because I'm sure I'll notice details that I missed the first time.

Amazing show
Amazing show. Seriously, if you have short attention span this show is going to mess with your head. Me personally, I enjoy this kind of genre and actually understood everything once this series wrapped its ending. The fact that they dont even give us a preview for next episode was kinda thrilling. Once a week per episode also gave me enough time to go to reddit or tumblr to indulge with others, discussing about each episode, about what we viewers could’ve missed, what could happen next and what to expect. Some theory were a spot on and some were not ?Cinematography, chef’s kiss. The camera work was amazing. I even follow their cinematographer on ig just to follow through whats his next project’s going to be.
Actors, also amazing. They delivered every scene so well, even the supporting actors are amazing.
Writers and directors both are woman and they are doing a splendid job with 4minutes. All the crews behind the scenes also seem so chill and they know what are they doing, so very professional.
Anyway, im giving it a perfect score

4 Minutes is definitely a must-watch.
To begin with, let’s respect and show support for these actors who participated in these NC scenes. It’s not easy for anyone to do it, especially if it’s their first time. While some dramas use NC scenes to compensate for the plot, 4 minutes does not do that at all. The NC scenes compliment/coincide with the drama as a whole. The plot, the acting, the chemistry are all amazing. I definitely recommend watching this series if you haven’t yet. This show displays perfectly the difference between real and ideal. What would you do if you knew what was going to happen? Would your actions truly lead to a good end? Even if you tried your best to do what was right, was it really the correct choice in the end?Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Whatever you do, you can't change what is destined to happen!
A story of a lost soul who tries to make things right in the present after being in the future for 4 minutes.It had a grand start filled with thrills, naked white butts, and lots of anticipation of great content. Another BL with a time travel theme got me interested in watching. It was going very well; I understood what was going on and created a link in my mind. But soon after episode 4, things started going downhill. I lost track of what was going on and totally got confused with the storyline. If I were to name a drama as a show-off, then this is the shinning example of it. Wait, this is literally synonymous to BOC now!
Even though I understood what was happening at the last 4 minutes of EP 8, in general the story feels like a fever dream where you feel like you understand the situation but still can't figure out what and why that is happening. And after waking up, you completely forgot what it was all about. The storyline is so erratic that I lost interest in the middle. There were different storylines, and they wanted to give attention to every one of them, but while doing that, they lost the actual significance of the show. Maybe it's not that complicated, but sure, it is confusing. Still, I watched it because I wanted to reach the conclusion. So I can't really point out what I liked or disliked, as I feel like I'm in a daze to conclude anything.
It had a big budget, great artists, and beautiful and aesthetic cinematography, but it fell short in terms of storytelling and binding the whole thing together. Again, it is proved that BOC failed to deliver a compelling story and tried to hide it with NC scenes and handsome faces. I had high expectations, but now I'm utterly disappointed. I can't rate this show high just because of its high content value. I do enjoy the complicated storylines, but I can't lose my brain cells over 8 episodes of content. Maybe I'm too dumb for this; it's not for me.

Sammon strikes again!
Another perfect story from Sammon, kudos to Bible (perfect as always) and Jes, a pleasant discovery for me. A complicated and gripping plot that keeps you in suspense and in doubt until the last minute. All the actors perfect in their roles and beyond expectations (Fuaiz and Jes). I'm already on my third rewatch.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
