Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 76 /100

4MINUTES received generally favorable reviews, with critics and viewers celebrating its ambitious, mind-bending premise and intense dramatic pacing. Reviewers consistently lauded the series for its top-tier cinematography, strong lead chemistry, and impressive visual effects. Many praised its ability to deliver an edge-of-your-seat thriller that seamlessly wove together sci-fi elements with romantic tension.

However, the show's complex storytelling proved polarizing for some. While several critics found the intricate narrative engaging, others criticized the execution, noting that the timeline could feel frustratingly convoluted and incoherent. A few reviewers also felt the story was stretched over its eight episodes, suggesting it might have landed better as a tighter feature film. Despite these narrative missteps, the consensus remains that it is a visually stunning and unique Thai BL series.

“A mind-bending thriller that'll have viewers holding their breath until the end”

“just the right mix of a good plot, super-high-intense chemistry and cinematography that is seriously mind-blowing”

“the timeline is poorly conveyed and often frustratingly incoherent”

Why fans love it

The 2024 series 4MINUTES blends speculative sci-fi elements with the tension of a revenge plot. A student possesses the ability to foresee events four minutes before they occur. His life takes a sharp turn when he encounters a doctor, an event that activates this strange internal clock and links him to unresolved mysteries involving police investigations and the death of a loved one.

The narrative utilizes this supernatural hook to build a complex story centered on a gay romance. Wichapas Sumettikul stars in a production that weaves high-stakes action scenes together with intimate drama. Throughout the series, characters navigate heavy themes including the trauma of being an orphan and the weight of suicide. The presence of smoking and mature sexual content grounds these fantastical situations in a gritty reality, creating a distinct atmosphere where the ability to see the immediate future offers as much danger as it does opportunity.
