4Minutes (2024)

A freaking masterpiece.

Be On Cloud has done it again! This was honestly a joy to watch. I went in not expecting much but it truly exceeded my expectations.

The cast in this was fantastic! The leads chemistry were just unmatched. Including the side characters too.

Honestly a gorgeous gorgeous! storytelling & cinematography. Literally had me gripped at the edge of my seat from episode 1 till the end. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.

Saying that, I shouldn’t have been so surprised at how good this was considering it’s a Be on Cloud production. Definitely on my top 3 favourite watch this year. And I definitely need to check out more of their work.

My take on the plot

This show really stands out, not just within the BL genre, but among dramas in general. What makes it special is how it keeps things engaging without relying on complicated plot twists or creating unnecessary plot holes. The way the story explores themes like redemption and how our past decisions shape our future is handled in a creative and unique way.

The main character, Great, gets the chance to redeem his past mistakes during a 4-minute window while he’s unconscious. What’s interesting is how he gets to relive these 4 minutes over and over, almost like a dream where time stretches and feels longer than it actually is. The show does a great job balancing between reality and subconscious experiences, and it never becomes confusing. It’s smooth and keeps you hooked throughout.

There was one part where I was initially disappointed—when Great meets a female character at an art exhibit. At first, it felt like the show was becoming too unrealistic. But then, it all made sense as the scene was revealed to be more of a metaphor. However, there was a bit of confusion with why only some characters, like Great, got the chance to relive moments while others didn’t. It left me wondering if certain scenes were real or just symbolic. Plus, the subplot with Tonkla being able to see ghosts could have been explained better—it felt a bit unclear.

The show’s message about making the right choices and being a good person, even if it doesn’t change the past, really hit home. Great and Thyme’s characters both changed after the 4 minute phase and they were making good decisions, even though it might not change the overall life experiences. And Korn’s 4-minute were he chose to live his life with the one he likes was so emotional that made me cry.

The acting, especially from the four main leads, was fantastic. Their chemistry felt real, and they delivered on the emotional weight of the story. The focus wasn’t entirely on the romance between the main couple; instead, it explored their broader life experiences. Meanwhile, the second lead couple’s storyline was more focused on love, and their tragic ending was really moving. Korn’s story, in particular, was heartbreaking and beautifully acted. The scene where Tonkla gets shot and Korn didn't know what to do was one of the most powerful moments.

I’d give the story a solid 10/10, not just compared to other BL series, but even against non-BL dramas. I noticed some people gave it lower ratings, and I think it’s because they didn’t fully understand the deeper message of the show. As for the acting, it’s a 10/10, though some side characters weren’t as strong. The music also worked well, earning a 9/10 from me, but the guitar scenes felt a bit forced. They could’ve been better if they had been integrated more naturally into the story.

xfavor mirenlo

posta xfavor mírense esto, hay una historia bien hecha y que encima es interesante, personajes bien desarrollados, buenas actuaciones, buena música y uno de los mejores finales de este año, por no decir el mejor.
El personaje de Great es perfecto, te hace estar al borde TODO EL TIEMPO, bible hizo un trabajazo con esto.
El personaje de Tonkla el mejor 100%, nunca nadie lo termina de conocer bien y nunca sabes que va a hacer.
Lo único, faltó desarrollo al personaje de win y a su relación con tonkla, había mucho más para dar y se re desaprovechó, y más sabiendo que a Win posta le gustó Tonkla.
El final es loquisimo pero no es muy difícil de entender al final de todo, me encantó.

This is definitely not a regular BL series.

Perfectly delivered compelling plots and actors,who are spectacular at conveying their characters' emotions,with top notch chinematigraphy, , breathtaking visuals, meticulous script..Every single details was deeply portrayed. If anyone loves new things this story is enough to drag them into their world. The vibe of German web series' dark'was the first thing that caught my attention.They uses reference from "inception 20210."As my preference is suspense, psychological elements, thriller and dark mystery in every part of fiction then '4 minutes' is definitely for those people like me. I'm stunned to see adding my favourites in my favourite (bl). It's a overwhelming happiness that can't be described. No repeating plot points and detours through side stories that do not pertain to the main plot. The story revolves around 4 minutes that is explained with proper term . Every coin has two sides so the negative point of this series for me was nc scenes.I skipped most of them and that wasn't my concern anyway. I repeat it's the only negative point to me. But no one can't deny the fact that those ncs' were better than western also. To sum up BOC always keeps international level so definitely they will put some international quality in nc scenes. They didn't even sell it to another company. That's what calls professionalism.
To those who are stuck with anything and Lost the ability to accept good things should stay away from this series.
To sum up if you're not ready to explore please stay away. No need to hate or spread negativity. When you already know it isn't your type or something you have option to not watch. Don't ruin thier hard work and effort unreasonably.

One of the Bl series of 2024

I think we all know that Bible's acting is top notch. That's we have been waiting for him since the end of Kin Porsche. Apart from everyone did a awesome job. Main lead ( Bible and Jes) have awesome chemistry. But the side couple chemistry is good but it's problematic also as the actor who's playing "Tonkla" is underaged he's barely 18 rn. I think Be on cloud entertainment should do something with casting barely 18. If they cast they shouldn't give them 18+ scenes. So, it's the only thing which was a little bit draw back to me. But apart from this it's a really awesome series to everyone did a amazing job. Special shoutout to the aesthetic it's awesome. ?

confusing plot, bad chemistry, bad acting, too much NC scene

confusing plot, bad chemistry, bad acting, too much NC scene
up until this momment i write this review, there is no one that really explain to me what is the 4minutes plot. i guess not all people get the storyline. its look like the title 4 minutes its not match with the storyline. everything doesnt make any sense.
the main couple face too look a like, both look like brother than a lover so its very hard to imagining them together as a lover. the chemistry is 0. their nc scene is meh for me. not adding any plot and no chemistry at all. the main couple storyline is too force, flat and blend. no dinamic. after all i dont like it at all.
