Recently, the Thai series 4Minutes has gained international popularity. 4Minutes is a BL drama about a university student who gains the ability to see four minutes into the future and the relationship he develops with a surgeon.

The series stars “Jes“ Jespipat Tilapornputt as the doctor Tyme and “Bible” Wichapas Sumettikul as Great, the university student.

The series was originally meant to star Bible and his former on-screen partner “Build” Jakapan Puttha, but it ultimately ended up with this casting. One interesting aspect of this series is that there are two versions, one that is a bit more tame and one dubbed the “sultrier” version.

An unexpected debate has arisen regarding the stars, and is related to the sultrier content of the series.

On September 4, during the reaction video for the series’ sixth episode of the “sultrier” version, Jes admitted during an NC (not for children) scene that he was “very drunk.”

Fans of the actor were quick to defend him from allegations of homophobia, citing the more extreme nature of the sex scene (analingus). Not only do actors have to perform in front of the crew during these sex scenes, but also have to make it look natural and intimacy is not always easy.

Surprisingly, just a few days later, Bible came to his defense, admitting that he too drank alcohol before his first NC scene, and explaining why actors have done so. Alcohol is a depressant, meaning that, when used responsibly, can help an individual relax.

Jes also added his thoughts, saying that it wasn’t always needed but could help an actor provide their best performance.

The series is available to watch on multiple platforms, though the “sultrier” version is only viewable on Viu and iQuiyi.
