609 Bedtime Story (2022)

A forgotten gem

I am actually surprised that this series was not blown up. The acting, the music, the plot... I like pretty much everything. You guys should really give this a try, it's like a whole updated level of OhmFluke.
To me, it's a gem among BL series considering, like every other period, we are swamped with school-theme BL. Ohm acting shows a lot of progress. Fluke acting is versatile, as always. The side couple is very cute too. The story is nowhere near predictable and the series is a perfect blend between funny moments and serious, sad ones.
Really think I will rewatch this later :)))

A STORY THAT MADE THE EP 11 CURSE BREAK.

So this is my honest review, i was so into ohmfluke and lately their series are like confused plot lines. So i believe this will be a better as it from the same people who did ECLIPSE THE SERIES then i started watching it in hope that from each and every episode my hope was like the budget drop line.. It was hitting the bottom upto the 10th episode, i lost all hope.. Then just today i watched the climax episode, can you believe a budget like can rise to the top in 1 episode, but they did it without much vulgarity! I loved the climax most and it was satisfying and understanding!! And the sister character mint she did such a great act in this episode even her role was something that must be appreciated!!
And other than that what i wanna mention more about this series will be of course its OST & BGM!
Especially the opening track and bgm played in the episode they're one of my favorite! Lke favorite about this series, something that actually make me to not lose hope!!
Wish they'll get more and more good storyline!!

Normally ep 11 is considered as the cursed episode in all BL but here episode 11 dod did a good magic maybe because it's the final?.

Time and Romance Can Be Confusing And I Loved It...

We have gotten love that transcends time, lasts a lifetime and the love that comes back life time after life time... And now we get to watch love that crosses over between a bunch of parallel universes... in a story about confusing time lines multiple universes a whole lot of complications... and I dare say parts that could be considered pretty messed up... Ok extremely messed up... But I loved it!

The first few episodes had me thinking about the Corrs song "Only When I Sleep" https://youtu.be/TapUgpeFGfE

As we meet the playboy who falls in love at first f***, not sure if it was a dream of reality, the dude who thought he was straight got his world turned upside down when he found himself in the arms of another man.. and well things just got weirder from that moment on.... Keeping me on me toes making my heart flutter but mostly a whole lot of what the... and what, wait... Still I binged it in a go an djust kept wanting more...

The pace is fast, and to be honest there is not much of a process at least not in the begging to the whole falling in love part one would expect from a romance as the love between the two is already established from the start, just that mr playboy did not know it yet... however seeing the guy he just f*** left a big enough impact on him to start questioning his sexuality. As time in this is confusing, but if you can manage to read this review then you should be fine as it is not quite as confusing as my review...

The chemistry is good (but most people know that as these two have been paired together before.The acting is good, Flukes character is miserable at times but does not cry as much as he usually does in his roles. The story is interesting and there is this fluffy pink filter at times... Which is really sweet. The kisses are steamy and well the food scenes are both funny and steamy...

If I were to compare this to other dramas I have seen I would say it has a hint of Meet Me @1600 with a slight pinch of Someday or One Day and something completely different from the two that takes over... But what that is is beyond me... and without the depth of SOOD and without the Comedy in @1600...

If you scratch the surface you may also find some deeper meaning, you are who you are but your choices may differ, and a message about what ifs, the importance of being true to yourself and consequences of different choices. But you do need to scratch pretty hard to find this...

This is not a drama for everyone, I guess you need to want to be confused and see some steam... To be honest It is a strong 8.5 from me bordering on a 9...

P.S: I have not seen the alternate ending yet, I may edit this once I have seen it...

Some parts don't make sense, but you should still watch it

Unlike certain BLs which have a straightforward story arc, 609 wasn’t as predictable. The later episodes continue to be just as compelling with a constant flow of cliffhangers– I just couldn’t stop watching this series.

I had some trouble with the ending, which struggled to account for everything that happened. Bits of the story were sloppily linked together with tenuous threads, but overall, the story was well-written and rather meticulously thought out.

Ohm and Fluke are one of those power BL couples who haven’t been paired with anybody else, and 609 Bedtime Story shows that they have a special chemistry. But this isn’t an ordinary love story. Their characters live in different timelines and universes but with similar characters and events, so it takes a bit of effort to figure out whose world the story is in.

The result is a somewhat discombobulating but nevertheless passionate affair between two people who just want to make the most of their time together. At the heart of 609 Bedtime Story lies the dizzying mysteries of time and space, but with the assurance that yes, love must somehow be able to transcend cross-dimensional obstacles. Even if nothing makes sense.

captivating from start to finish

What a great series I just finished watching it fantastic. reminded me a lot of the movie the butterfly effect.
all the actors brought their characters to life in a wonderful way. And the main couple, not to mention what a great performance, that power could be felt in their performances, they could convey all the feelings to us in an impeccable way.
he series has a very different narrative from the common series but it was very well explained. I didn't miss anything I will definitely buy the novel.
a round of applause to the director and producer for this wonderful work of art.

A fascinating and wonderful story

I have finished watching the series and I was fascinated by the delay in seeing it because they said it was confusing but it is not so well explained at all that I did not get lost at all.
I loved the way they developed the characters, the beautiful scenery, the great ost.
I love FLUKE from MY BROMANCE but I take this character to a very high level. Ohm a real surprise they should give him more roles like this to develop his potential.
OHMFLUKE never disappoints that chemistry is there since UWMA and I would say it has also reached a new level.
I prefer the happy ending. Although according to what I read in the comments, the novel has 3 endings: 2 happy and one sad, apart from several special chapters. DeepPublishing translated it into English and you can find it on wattpad up to chapter 4.
I understand that many found it confusing, but for lovers of mystery and parallel worlds like me this series is great
I know that many say that OHMFLUKE is stagnant but I think it is the opposite, they have already revealed their potential and from now on, even if they do series with other co-stars, OHMFLUKE has many more years to come.

If Inception Was Written As Tumblr Fanfiction

I don't quite know what to make of this show.

On one hand: I appreciate that they tried to tell a unique story. In a sea of mafia bosses and engineering students, I always applaud an attempt at unique storytelling in BL media.

On the other: It just doesn't completely work. There are too many things going on, and the plot really eats any forward momentum you might get out of the characters. Every time you think you're close to finally grasping the story they're trying to tell, they spin it off in a completely different direction and I'm just left confused.

I will say I appreciate that this show finally gave Ohm a character with a little bit of personality and presence, which I am grateful for. I think he is fully capable of being engaging if the writers ever gave him something to work with. I have a little more trouble trying to figure out what they wanted Fluke's character to be. Once again, he seems doomed to play the tragic pushover, cooking in the background while the world falls down around him. Fluke is a good actor, and I wish they'd allow him to explore some darker characters or even some light hearted charming ones.

I was along for the ride at first, but then the show got swallowed by its own concept. It took way too long for Mum and Dew to meet in Mum's timeline, and everything surrounding Mint was headache inducing and repetitive.

My favorite plot ended up being the side plot between Wee and Game, which honestly had no business even being in this show. It has nothing to do with the main plot, and that's probably what I enjoyed about it the most.

I will trumpet forever about wishing we could see Ohm and Fluke in one straightforward normal character driven BL series, because for some reason they receive every insane script in the industry. I want to see what they can do if they're allowed to have quiet, charming moments without all the doom and gloom and world ending catastrophe.

Not the best. Not the worst. I appreciated the effort, but in the end it fell a little short for me.

wow spectacular

I have finished watching the series and it is simply spectacular.
What a great plot they presented to us.
the lead actors were brilliant their undeniable chemistry seemed like a real couple as it takes a unique trust to achieve that level of coupling
here my appreciations:
1. many say that the plot is confusing and I didn't think so at all from the first chapter they explained it in detail the first day of MUM was the last day of DEW so it was already understood that times were going in opposite directions.
2. DEW definitely knew what was going to happen to him but coming from such an oppressive family he simply tried to enjoy the freedom and happiness he had with MUM to the fullest because his destiny was already set. which was shown that despite avoiding mint's death at all costs, it was also in exchange for his own. exchange equivalence
3. The two endings taught us that our decisions affect not only us but everyone around us. The DEW who dared to express what he felt to face everyone, managed to have a happy ending. Just like MUM, by confessing everything to her sister, she broke the chain of that endless cycle.
while the DEW that kept running from reality hurt not only himself but everyone around him. and I end up with guilt and remorse. That open ending leaves us with many questions about what he will do next. I would love for them to give him a happy ending.
4. Many say that how is it possible that MUM forgets the DEW of the other universe and falls in love with the DEW of his universe but love with the DEW of the other universe could never be because of their opposite times
I think MUM met that DEW so that he would stop seeing life the way he did. DEW taught him what it is to love someone, to be a better person, to try to protect the one you love.
and that's why when he finally met the DEW of his world he was no longer the same as the past.
A great story. I would love for them to also adapt the specials as they are doing with THE ECLIPSE.
My vote is 10/10

Do yourself a favor and don't

Oh, man.

I started watching this mostly because of OhmFluke. I loved their acting in Until We Meet Again, and was excited to see them together in another BL. But unfortunately it just so happened to be this one.

First, I just want to be clear I'll be calling Dew from the Blue world (aka the first Dew we meet) as Blue!Dew and Mum from the Orange world (aka the first Mum we meet) as Orange!Dew. Any respective people from their worlds will also be called Orange or Blue, such as Orange!Mint and Blue!Mint. The last Mum we meet, the one who's been traveling universes, I'll call Rainbow!Mum. (Thanks to Aprillen for labeling them this, it saves time!)

What started off as a solid idea and interesting writing slowly dissolved into a plot mess and characters acting out of character when it suited the plot. The idea of a reversing/contrasting timeline is really hard to pull off -- I can only think of Doctor Who as a show that successfully pulled it off -- and if the writing isn't solid, it gets incredibly messy and confounding. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to this story. They laid out the universe rules pretty well for us, but then once the loop was close to completing, I feel like the writers didn't know where to go from there and then just gave us a bunch of random things (such as Rainbow!Mum or Blue!Dew remembering things he shouldn't have been able to since it happened after that time in his timeline).

Giving us two endings was an interesting choice, and I see why they did it. Wake Up, aka the happy ending, was so incredibly out of character from everything we'd gotten before it almost felt like a completely different show. It didn't go back to the multiverse plot and Orange!Mint seemed to be way more well-adjusted than previous scenes of her and her alternate self, Blue!Mint. It was a breath of fresh air in a sense, but it also clashed completely from the previous ten episodes. I have a theory they wrote this to appease the masses, but it wasn't exactly where they had planned the plot to go towards. Dream On, aka the sad/open ending, fits a lot more neatly with the previous episodes, but it does end in a really messy and devastating way, and still doesn't resolve half of the other questions we have from the show.

Unfortunately for this show, either ending wasn't really satisfying and left us with enough plot holes and questions that made it seem like the writers were making the show up as they went along. While the multiverse and contrasting timelines were interesting, the writers often went back on what they had previously said were the rules of the show. And where did Rainbow!Mum even come from? What is his purpose? (Well that one is clear: to bring Orange!Dew into the whole multiverse experience and bring more drama). His presence just makes things far more complicated than the show could handle. We also never really know what happens to Blue!Dew and the people of his world once that timeline closes, which is an interesting choice because they showed us a lot of what happened in his world throughout the show.

As for the side characters, especially Vee and Game, they feel very much like side characters. Since they don't have anything to do with the multiverse plotline, they feel out of place in a lot of ways. I would have liked to see more of them, but I don't think they fit well with this show. Blue!An was a creep that needed to be stopped every time he tried to go after Dew, but the show talked about it as if it's fine since he's just "in love" with Mint. We didn't really get much of Orange!An or other characters so I don't have much to say about them.

Honestly, at this point, I'm happy this show ended so I don't have to put in more thought into the mess it is. As much as I loved OhmFluke in UWMA, I am saddened they got this mess of a story. Don't bother watching, friends. It'll just confuse and frustrate you, and you'll be left wondering where the time you spent on this show has gone. (It's gone into the five million plot holes this show has.)

very well developed plot

I just finished watching all the episodes and I am pleasantly surprised by the great performance of OHMFLUKE. The director and producer knew how to bring out the full potential of both.
At first glance, it seems like a difficult story due to the added time constraint of the parallel world, but it was easier to understand when I saw it in the drama than in the novel.
The two main actors are really good at acting! ! !
It's good to see it!
This drama is full of mysteries and questions, so it was fun to watch and think about each episode, and I want to talk to someone. I was excited to see the final episode!

Before the drama aired, it was advertised as "the first BL drama where you can choose the ending", but this drama was "completed" by combining the two patterns of the final episode. I think it will be And I recommend watching them in the order Dream on → Wake up in numerical order.
I think you can understand why the creator decided to make these two patterns.

OhmFluke, who played the same character in multiple worlds, and the actors around him had such incredible skill that I could empathize with the characters in any world, and I was lost in my emotions. OhmFluke became more stable as a couple and became sweeter and happier to see them together. They're a couple with a reputation for their acting ability, so I'd like to see more of their various works.

time slip, parallel worlds, alt reality, am I dreaming, cohabitation, bisexual manwhore, fated mates

An interesting time slip concept and a great set up ultimately disappointed. It opened strong, on one of my favorite under appreciated Thai actors: Plustor (as Vee) in a side bartender romance with younger bisexual king, Games.

Unfortunately it went downhill from there.

OhmFluke’s solid chemistry and most romantically soft kissing was ill served by a reformed rake meets rich-kid cheater pairing, While it was nice to see Ohm play a character with more animated facial expressions, his was the only character that remained consistent throughout.

All in all, this was a confusing show about cheating and parallel worlds that never made sene or stayed true to its characters. A promising start, confusing middle, and disappointing ending. I don’t say this lightly, but Oh My Sunshine Night is better. 6/10
