4MINUTES

This is a complex, complicated and at times confusing story of two brothers whose family is secretly running a criminal empire. If you are looking for a rom-com, this isn't it. [Spoilers] The older brother is bi, but the younger brother (who is the main star) is gay and he has the power to see 4 minutes into the future, or so it seems. He also gets a boyfriend who is very caring, or so it seems. What really is happening is that the brother isn't really seeing ahead in time, he's actually having a near-death experience and reliving his life and wishing he had made different choices. The first 5 episodes are showing his scenes as he remembers them with changes he would make and some reality mixed in. The scenes with other characters are actually happening. Then episode 6 shows what really happened with him. Also, there is a killer on the loose and episode 7 finally reveals who that is and his origins. Then it goes on to focus on the boyfriend, who is now having his own near-death episode and we see his view of things. Finally, in the last part they try to pull this all together and wrap up all subplots. For most characters it is not a happy ending and not all of them make it to the end. For the brother and his boyfriend? Well, it's happier than the other characters, but I wouldn't say it was really a happy ending. It was a thought-provoking story and a good watch, but you really have to see all 8 parts to fully understand what was happening.
