4 Minutes, starring Bible Wichapas and Jess Jespipat, has quickly become one of the most talked-about Thai series of recent times. Since its premiere, the show has drawn in viewers with its blend of mystery, drama, and supernatural elements, along with its central BL (Boys’ Love) storyline.
The plot centers around Great who possesses a unique ability to see 4 minutes into the future. This power, initially mysterious in its origins, begins to significantly alter the course of his life and the lives of those around him. He somehow gets intertwined with a doctor named Tyme, whom he has met in the past. They find themselves trying to solve the mystery behind Great's ability.

Alongside the two main leads, the storyline also follows the lives of Great's and Tyme's parents, Great's older brother Korn and his lover Tonkla, Great's friends Title and Dome, and Inspector Win.
This series has been made by Be On Cloud, the same production studio behind the superhit drama KinnPorsche. Actor Bas Asavapatr and Job Yosatorn from KinnPorsche have joined their co-star Bible in this series.
Now that 4 Minutes has come down to the final episode, many fans are still in a conundrum about whether Great is alive or dead and whether the incidents are happening in real-time or just in Great's imagination. As Great can be seen in a coma at the end of episode 7, fans are concerned that there's a huge possibility about him being dead and replaying all these moments in his head during the last "4 minutes" of his life.
About the 4 Minutes storylines
4 Minutes is a story of the relationship between Great, a university student, and Tyme, a young doctor, who fall in love with each other. However, they soon learn that their lives are far more complex than they seem. Great's unique ability to suddenly see four minutes ahead into the future causes disturbance for those around him.
In one of the series' pivotal moments, Tyme and his colleague Den discuss the possibility of another person having similar abilities. Den reveals that he has a patient named "Lukwa" who experiences the same phenomenon.
Both Great and Lukwa seem to share visions, seeing each other in their altered realities. This revelation adds to the intrigue, raising questions about how and why Great and Lukwa are connected.
Timeline of events from episodes 1-4
The story starts when Great experiences chest pain while exiting his dormitory in an elevator. Shortly after, he gets into a car accident but manages to reverse time by 4 minutes after seeing 4 minutes into the future, preventing the accident from occurring.
This is when the viewers discover Great’s time-traveling ability, which becomes crucial to the plot. It also marks the moment he first meets Tyme, played by Jess, at a hospital, an encounter that sets the stage for the complex relationship between the two characters.
As the series progresses, viewers are introduced to a variety of supporting characters, including Great’s brother Korn, Korn’s lover Tonkla, and his friends Title and Dome. A significant subplot involves the murder of Tonkla’s brother, who, according to fan theories, might be Dome.
An inspector named Win is brought in to investigate the murder, and his involvement deepens as he grows closer to Tonkla, ultimately sparking a romantic relationship between the two. The intertwining of these characters adds multiple layers of mystery and drama, leaving fans eager to connect the dots.
One of the most intriguing elements of the series is the recurring number "11" that Great sees whenever he’s alone. This mystery lingers throughout the episodes, building suspense as the audience tries to figure out its significance.
Fans quickly picked up on the fact that something about this number is key to understanding Great’s powers and the events surrounding him, but the show keeps this mystery under wraps for a large part of the story.
As Great’s life becomes more chaotic due to his powers, the relationship between him and Tyme deepens. They share several moments of intimacy and begin to trust and rely on each other more as the plot thickens.
Timeline of events in episodes 5-7 in 4 Minutes
In episode 5, the series takes a darker turn when Great’s father threatens Tyme, and both Great and his mother are shot during a confrontation with Great’s father. This dramatic sequence leads to the long-awaited explanation of his abilities. Den explains that Great’s power to see 4 minutes into the future is tied to the human brain’s activity during cardiac arrest.
As per Den, when someone’s heart stops, their brain remains active for 4 minutes, allowing them to experience flashes of their life in that brief period. This revelation has prompted fans to question everything they’ve seen: Is Great alive or dead? Is his entire journey a series of flashbacks experienced during his final moments?
Episode 6 adds another layer of confusion by showing an alternate reality in which Great is unable to intervene with his powers. In this version of events, the people he saved, like the woman in the car accident and Dome, do not survive, leaving fans to wonder which timeline is real. The episode ends with Great being shot by Tonkla, a twist that ties back to the chest pain he experienced in the first episode.
As Great lies in a hospital bed, with doctors working to save him, both he and Tyme are on the brink of death. Fans have speculated that Great’s visions are part of the 4 minutes his brain has left after cardiac arrest and that all the events they’ve watched may have taken place in his mind. Even though he is in his hospital bed, it is still unclear if Great is dead or not.
With just one episode left, fans are anxiously waiting for answers. Theories abound about whether Great will survive, whether everything has been a figment of his imagination, or whether the show will take yet another unexpected twist are adding to the excitement around the finale.
The 8th and final episode of the series will air on the coming Friday, September 13. Those who wish to watch the series from the beginning can stream it on Viu.
