Give this BL a chance!!

I am so glad that I actually gave it a try and it was a fun watch!! The series actually went in a total different way than I had expected. If you are going into this series after 1000 stars, you'll be disappointed. Clear your head of all the things you've read and seen about this series, you will enjoy it for sure!

Let's start with Win. I know most people would have hated his guts in some episodes but I kinda understood where the character came from. Losing his father was a big blow to him. Adding to that, the money minded relatives. The only person he could trust was Korn which was shattered when the will was read. From his point of view, he felt betrayed by Korn that he logically didn't understand what was happening. He is hot headed and sometimes idiotic but I really did empathise with him. Mix's acting deserves applause!! The ways he brings out the emotions on the screen is totally top-notch.

Next our Korn : The man should literally have a halo around his head for tolerating the shittiness our Win threw at him. Korn is such a wonderful character that I felt, at one point Win didn't deserve him but Win kinda came through in the end. Special mention to Lin and Non. Although, their screen time was limited, it was fun to watch them both. And Jan did a great job of portraying Lin as well Lin pretending to be Win.

Why this body swapping worked for me is because, for one, we were clear from the beginning who Korn was in love with. Literally from the first shot of them together. Korn's eyes while looking at Win was enough to convince us. Also, even after the body swapping, he never once addressed her as Lin except when he was with others who knew Lin. So, it was easier to connect to their emotions without the confusion of whom Korn is actually is in love with. The story was very well executed. The story wasn't too supernatural which worked for me and the pace was also very good. The plot has it flaws but nevertheless, it was fun watch!!

P.S. And I never thought I would watch a PMS scene in a BL..lol!! You should definitely watch that scene!! Mix didn't overdo it and so it was too funny to watch!

A perfectly woven tale

I was really skeptical when the trailer came. They had a killer cast with some amazing cameos planned but because of the storyline I was hesitating to watch this. After all, it is very hard to get all the points right with a time loop story.
But, Triage put all my worries at ease in the first 2 episodes. My biggest concern with a fantasy tale like this is that they bend the rules and make it illogical just to get the output they want. Triage, on the other hand, stuck to the said rules. The rules of the loops were clear. The outcome of every loop will have you at the edge of the seat, leaving you wondering what more could Tin possibly do. The cameos were used brilliantly. The character growth of Tol was appreciable. All the characters had the importance and nothing was out of place. To achieve this level of perfection is no joke and triage did it with ease. I also love how the plot was the main focus rather than BL side of it.
My only disappointment is that it was not promoted for international fans. It would have had far greater reach because BL's like this is harder to find.
