This series is literally a MASTERPIECE!
This series was highly recommended by a friend of mine since its release but since I am busy watching some Kdramas before and eating BL Series I haven't check this one out and I just finished thise series and I can say that I regret not checking this out before!! I am so inlove with this series it kinda reminds me of "4400" an american series but the plot is different it is just on the characteristics of their potentials. Episode 1 was a really great start it really hooks you and make you into the series right away, I rarely post Reviews unless I really want to say something about the series or I love it! And By this one I really do! The Story is really fresh and new and I love the transition and connection of each characters and episodes specially episode which unveils their potential, because there are other series that when an episode will focus on a certain character it will look like you are watching a different show but in this one it's just amazing!! In terms of Acting I love Gun (Punn) so much but when I watched it I fall inlove even more he is really AMAZING! a 100% Great Actor and Also Jane (Claire) I really adore how sassy her character is and how her acting really get me into it specially on the start of her episode where she wink I really Love it! Overall the cast did great in acting. Just a quick thing I just really feel vague to the role of JJ and AJ (Twins) their characters don't really make sense to me but I am hoping that there is something behind that on Season 2! Overall The Gifted is a MUST WATCH series!! and an indeed Master Piece! anticipating the next season!Was this review helpful to you?

Might help you to know if this series is for you.
Story: I really love the story I am personally inlove with BL series and with this one its with a different catch.. at first you will think that the story is Kinda Generic for a body switching series but for this one its not and it has a great twist and I am happy to that and it satisfies me and I really love series that can make me guess and think about the ending and in this one I thought I figure out how the ending will be but its different. Overall I really like this series the reason for a low rewatch value is I am not a really big fan of rewatching a movie or series because the thrill is not there anymore because you already know what will happen.Was this review helpful to you?

It was 10/10!!! For the early episodes but not until...
Just a Disclaimer all the comments that I will give are all base on my own opinion and nothing but opinion I have a lot to say but all of them are based on my opinions and we all have our different opinion and let's respect each other. ********************************************** The First 5 episodes of the show are my everything! I really love the concept and theory that they are fall into the Novel created by Zol, My favourite characters are Zol and Saifah, I reallt admire the Development of the characters on the early episodes of the series specially the development of Tutor And Fighthers story and the slow introduction of the side characters it was really smooth and really realistic. I just really love the early episodesbut everything changed right after Fighter rejected Hwahwa's feelings it's just seems rushed that right after Fighter Rejected Hwa and Day comforted her they become together at the same day Hwa was rejected. Hwa is one of the spice characters of the early episodes but right after Day and Hwa start dating her character becomes vague and nothing more to offer. I expect something might spiced up again her character when she find's out about Tor and Fighter but since Hwa already dating Day I realized that the character's relevance is really vague and I am not wrong about that.Next is the SIDE CHARACTERS I am surprised that Why R U started introducing several Side characters but those characters didn't have much time to develop and seems like just a skit and not part of the whole series, specially Japan and Thantai they look so cute together even and some thinks that the actor plays Japan is really awkward but that thing is working on his character and how open Thantai's character is but this couple don't have enough time to develop. Blue and Dew! This couple and their story has a lot to offer! They should give JUSTICE to them and their story seems very rushed like last time you remember they are hating eachother the next thing Dew is like Teasing Blue and then They start flirting and Blue's thing about Champ becomes nothing... Damn!! There is not enought foundation for this couple and it makes me sad! I love both of them so much and it makes me sad. Next Character is Zen there is an episode that reveals that he is secretly have feeling to Zon and it's really obvious on the early episodes but did we get anything after that? No we don't have anything. Next is Zol after the time that Zol talk to Blue and ask permission to use him as one of her characters and after his meeting with Zen and Natee (if I am not mistaken) there is nothing more about her and the fact that she is the One who have the Idea of the couples and how the whole story of the two main couples. Next Figther and Tutor I love this couple but don't get me wrong the development of their relationship lags in the middle of the series and there are lots of scenes that the series may still be great without it specially the episode at the beach that episode was just for them I totally understand because they are the main characters but it becomes too much for me Zon and Saifah are Main Couple together with them but and there are a lot of couple that they can include on that episode. (But I am not Complaining I love them it's just I see potential on that episode that may give other characters enough development) and now Zon and Saifah I am not Bias to this couple because they are my Favourite but I am kind of sad that every episode I am craving for their parts like even their main episode there are still other characters took part of it and even Tutor and Figther was there and have conflict that can be done on Tutor and Figther episode on the beach. But after Studio Wasabi claim that there are several scenes that didn't finished for Zon and Sai I totally understand ut but I am so upset because their development becomes inconsistent.
ACTING I can't say anything but to commend Fighter specially on the last 2 episodes! And for Zon at first I feel awkward about his acting and being cute but I adore it after several episodes and it makes me fall inlove with him and for Saifah he did great and knowing thay he is a newbie actor he did great but I know he can still do better. For Tutor, Saint is Saint! So I won't say anything and it is all given. This becomes too long but I still have a lot to say but I will just give two topics now is the transition, The series transition on the middle part becomes weird specially scenes from Tutor and Fighter to Saifah and Zon and even other side characters they almost not interact with each other and seems like watching them is like watching 2 differeny Series. Lastly the Last 2 episodes I LOVE IT! FINALLY I HAVE ZON AND SAIFAH ENOUGH INTIMATE MOMENTS AND AMAZING CHARACTER TRANSITION THE LAST 2 EPISODE HAVE THE SAME ENERGY AS THE EARLY EPISODES! I'M CRYING!! ? But! That is for the main characters but I am a bit sad for the side characters because they seems RUSHED on the Final Episodes and lacking on something and will make you say "Oh is that it for them?". SO I AM HOPING FOR SEASON TWO! GENERALLY WHY R U IS REALLY AMAZING SERIES ITS JUST THE MIDDLE PART OF THE SERIES TURNED ME OFF A BIT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CHARACTERS THAT HAVE POTENTIAL TO GROW MORE FOR A SEASON 2 AND A PREQUEL! SO I AM ANTICIPATING IT!!!

I am not a fan of rewatching a series but this one deserves a shot of rewatching.
At first I admit that I thought I won't like it because I know some of you have the same feeling with me for those who loves the cast of season 1. i am really sad because I thought they can't give us the same feels of the season 1 cast. At the several episodes where the S2 cast re do several scences from S1 i am a bit cringe because in my head its still the season one cast but as the episodes goes by and the real story start I am hooked into it. Specialy when may Fave love team from S1 loves story are emphasized which is Kit and Ming I really love the flow of their story in this Season and I can see that they are more comfortable at each other (not comparing to S1 cast they are still exceptional!????) and even in their personal social media accounts in real life and the fact that they are just casted and didn't know each other from the start unlike the S1 cast which is under same management..And I also love the flow of story of Forth and beam Wherein in S1 ome we dindn't feel anything within these two but in this Season we can see their start and love from each other and how two manly guys fall inlove with each other! And to the main Characters which is Yo and Phana They face the struggle of in a relationship, jelousy and other problems which is impressive. And I can say that the new Cast Give Justice to the Characters! I love it but I can't deny that there are still several imperfections that I see in this series but its reall payed back by the love story of the main characters.
thank you for reading my review.

Thoughts about the series..
At the 1st ep. I admit that i have that hope that they will follow the light story in the novel and at 1st here I saw that these series contains 12eps or 8 if I'm not mistaken, and I am shocked that it end in just 3 episodes.. the transition of the series are so rushed and din't even highlight the love story of Bright and Pramote that may give a slight fluffy touch to the heavy story.. its kinda sad that the talent of the actors are not emphasized in the series there could me more within it but all of these are just my opinion but since its based on a novel I see that they just followed it.Was this review helpful to you?
