Reset

I really enjoyed it, very fast paced and i love the concept of our protagonists being trapped in a time loop. It is very well executed and it doesn't get draggy or boring.

You will be looking forward to each time they wake up to see what ideas they come up wit to come out of the time loop. It is very thrilling to watch.

The acting is awesome and i love how well written the characters are. Very diverse and unique. Their backstories are very emotional and will pull your heartstrings, you will feel attached with all the passengers riding the bus.

The female lead is strong willed calm and composed whilst the make lead is more hot headed, emotional and impulsive. I love how they didn't care about typical gender roles stereotypes while writing them.

Romance is just organic and even though is not a focus in the story is sutil but nice to watch and the chemistry is great as well. They work amazing as a team too.

My only problem with the drama is that we never get to know why the female lead is caught into the time loops in the first place. She has a brief relationship in the past with the driver of the bus but it is nothing too deep so I would have expected some WOW factor about this, I guess something more personal connected to her, that's the only thing that prevented me from giving this drama a 10.

Other than that and overall a great amazing series, with great casting, awesome character development, strong story, no holes and great ending too. Watch it, you won't regret it.

The plot is intriguing and something that makes you keep looking forward to what's next. Even though the pacing somewhat got slower in the later episodes, it was still engaging and overall a good show to watch. I personally love the cinematography too, it was well made. Kudos to the cast.

If you don't mind the nationalistic vibe, Reset is a pretty good show that manages to keep the viewer intrigued for all its 15 episodes, even on that plot (time loop, basically). Acting was great by all cast, particularly the bus passengers. Some of their stories were really moving and maybe give the western viewer a glimpse on life + mentality in modern China.

Although the plot is not rigorous and some hints are too deliberate, it can be counted as one of the best Chinese TV series in recent years. I was totally impressed by the performances of Liu Yijun who acts the police officer. And I must say that the glasses really suit Bai Jingting.

University student Li Shi Qing (Zhao Jin Mai) and video game designer Xiao He Yun (Bai Jing Ting) both fall asleep on Bus 45. When they wake up, the bus explodes after a few minutes. When they wake up again in the same setting, they figure out they are in a loop and can only exit out of it after they are able to stop the disaster from happening. So at each iteration of the loop, they try to do that and also find out what caused it to happen.

This is one of a few cdramas I've watched that are not draggy. Kudos to the writing and direction for keeping the pace and suspense in tiptop order. The ending is worth all the effort the leads went through to save the bus.
