4 Minutos (2024)

Great show but the end was rushed

The concept of the show was amazing. It kept me guessing til the 6th episode where they explain everything. The cinematography was great, the actors were good especially the second couple BasFuaiz. Those two completely stole the show with their performance, in my opinion.
Where the show started with a bang, I feel like the ending was a bit lacking. Too much was condensed in the last episode, they should have added an additional one.
Tyme's alternative timeline should have been explored longer. They should have given more screentime to the main couple relationship outside of the justice/political debacle in the real timeline. The relationship aspect was a bit neglected.

The ending of the second couple was fitting but, common ! Couldn't they give them proper last moments ? I would have loved to see a longer version of their own 4 minutes like the main couple. They deserved it ! I would have loved to see them living happily in the open even if it was fake.

All in all, the serie was great. It's outside of the cliched tropes for BL and I hope to see more of those kind of projects.

Love you Bible !

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.

Hot Scenes you don't want to miss...?

Oh, I have to say can't forget that Bible (Great) and Jes (Tyme) are the mains in this. 😄

Now on to it. I really liked this for the most part, the acting was great, the sex scenes were oh so nice 🤤, lets not forget the chemistry going on with them. It was nice to see how Great and Tyme were with each other, how Great seem to be flustered and caught off-guard by Tyme's presence, even how Tyme seemed to be off-guard around Great a bit to. They had a lovely connection, it was impossible not to get sucked in them. It was so cute how Great was around Tyme. they bith did a great job, you saw it all with thier acting.

Lets not forget Tonkla and Korn, Talk about a messed up love yet at the same time a strong love. In parts I didn't like Korn much, though Tonjka wasn't much better times, even though he was in a crisis still not good to do. In the end they were with each other...

I liked the concept of this one, being able to see 4 minutes in to the future in order to change the out come. It seem to even change Great in a good way. I also liked how Tyme believed him and not thinking he was crazy, he was willing to help Great find out what was happening to him.

I do have to say that I got confused in this... I don't want to say to much, I just want to say the closer it got to the end eps I just got confused. Even though I did, I did like the whole series. I just can't rate it as high as I would have liked to because I just had to many questions at the end.

A Good Story, Well Narrated

This was actually a good thriller. A good story well narrated. A smart film, probably not meant for everyone.

I liked the freshness of the narrative. That's because I couldn't predict the next things to come, which I found refreshing. At some point I thought they were mocking my brains because some twist of events seemed illogical. But in the next episode, it became clear that the apparent nonsense wasn't a nonsense at all. I had a burning question for an episode or two, but afterward, I understood that the explanation was there all the time. It appears that I was somewhat misled by the rapid pace and intensity of the show and mistaken that explanation for hints. I also liked the attention given to the details, the symbolism used throughout the entire series, the fact that everything was well thought, well-designed, the logic was flawless and everything fell into place in terms of logical deduction. To me, it almost felt like the filmmakers were mathematicians. :-D :-D

The acting was very good, and the direction was superb.

Having included Vivaldi in the OST tracks automatically grants a 10 mark from me. But generally speaking, the music was good, well-chosen, and well-matched to the scenes. Also, it doesn't have too much of it, so it's not redundant or annoying.

I will definitely watch this show again because I'm sure I'll notice details that I missed the first time.

4 Minutes is definitely a must-watch.

To begin with, let’s respect and show support for these actors who participated in these NC scenes. It’s not easy for anyone to do it, especially if it’s their first time. While some dramas use NC scenes to compensate for the plot, 4 minutes does not do that at all. The NC scenes compliment/coincide with the drama as a whole. The plot, the acting, the chemistry are all amazing. I definitely recommend watching this series if you haven’t yet. This show displays perfectly the difference between real and ideal. What would you do if you knew what was going to happen? Would your actions truly lead to a good end? Even if you tried your best to do what was right, was it really the correct choice in the end?

the series that kept me on my toes

this is the kind of bl content I want with both thrilling plotting and sweetness .. I loved how each moment had it's own uniqueness to it and while haveing a magical element it was quite realistic .. but what stole the show for me was the acting every actor really killed... I really love how unique evert boc storyline is like they don't follow the normal pattern of bl story and give it there own twist which actually makes it more entertaining and fun especially with this one the most fun part for me was how each ep gave you answer and question both keeping me guessing what was happening. and just to add I really love how the time actually did focus on other characters and there own stories rather then it connecting it all it was more intersecting which made it more fun ...

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. 🔥
