Overall, it's disappointing
TL;DR - White and Captain carried this show. The other two couples were just kind of bland and this wasn't long enough to give them proper character development (or characters at all, for that matter).
The plot was a string of weak clichés I've seen a million times over in Thai BL dramas. It was predictable as ever and the main conflict was unsatisfactorily resolved in about 5 minutes at the very end. The Love Sick OST was a really nice touch, but it got very repetitive.
I just wish Phun and Noh had more screen time. I spent most of my time watching this waiting for them to appear again. It would've been really interesting to delve deeper into how their relationship has developed over the years and the struggles they've faced throughout. You can tell they've matured so much since Love Sick. So much more could've been done with this couple, but it feels like they were cast aside in favour of TwoWish. Their ending felt so inconclusive, and I was left wondering what they were going to do with all these unresolved plot points and how they were going to resolve their troubles. It felt like they were gearing up for a sequel that, clearly, never came to fruition.
Saint and Perth have some good chemistry and I enjoyed their scenes together. As a couple, they're believable enough - though Saint quite often seems a bit wooden. Regardless, Perth is an amazing actor who puts his all into his roles. His tears were so genuine and I felt every emotion in his words. If I were him, I don't think I would've been able to hold my laughter in during that singing scene at the end. It was so awkward to watch. I commend Perth for saving that scene.
As much as I tried, I could not get invested in TwoWish's storyline. Their actors really don't have enough chemistry, and I've thought this ever since I first saw them together in LBC. As a character, Wish leaves a lot to be desired; he has one mood and two tones of voice, and he seems extremely shallow. His actor plays him far too similar to how he plays Can in LBC. Two was likeable enough, despite being a pining cliché most of the time; it was refreshing to see such a gentle character. Most of the TwoWish scenes, I ended up watching in 2x speed due to how uneventful and uninteresting they were. This couple's ending felt rushed and forced and left me so confused.
In conclusion, ReminderS was a letdown. It was nice to see some familiar faces, but other than that, there's not much that can save this drama. As an introduction to 2Wish the Series, it serves its purpose - but in the process, it leaves the other couples in the lurch.
