Great for mystery lovers!!
Reset is a heartwarming drama that doesn't disappoint fans of mystery genre lovers.
STORY
Reset tells a story of Li Shiqing, a college student who gets stuck in a timeloop. In the timeloop she is in a bus that explodes everytime. She suffers from many timeloops before managing to leave the bus with a man, Xiao Heyun. Soon she is back in the bus, but this time Xiao Heyun is stuck in the timeloop with her. They together start to think ways to escape the bus, then realizing that they need to stop the bus from exploading and people from dying to leave the timeloop. They very slowly get fond of each other and in the end fall in love.
My Opinion:
The story was made very well. From the start i was interested in the story and what and who was behind the explosion. For me it did get a little bit tiring in the middle, because we got so many background info on characters that turned out to not be that important. Great example was Lu Di. When Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun suspect Lu Di, they stop him from getting in the bus and check his bag only to find a cat in it. That saved Lu Di and he wants to know how Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun knew what was going to happen. We get to know him and they tell Lu Di the whole truth, that they are in a timeloop and that maybe he is in it too now, since they saved him. Lu Di gets all excited and trusts them fully. He is happy to finally have friends and "to be able to be a hero." When Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun fall asleep and by falling asleep, go back in to the timeloop, turns out that Lu Di didn't join them in the timeloop. After this, they rarely talk to Lu Di in the other timeloops and we never get to see them being friends again. It kinda made me sad, since i liked Lu Di and he was so happy to finally have friends, but in the end there were not a single sign that Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun befriended him again.
What also frustrated me was that everytime they talked to the police, they were VERY nervous and hadn't practiced what they were going to say enough. A lot of time was wasted on police being suspicious of them. But overall i think this drama was great for mystery lovers. It was interesting and it had it's heartwarming end.
CAST
Zhao Jinmai as Li Shiqing,
She was a great pick for this role. She was very believable when showing the signs of her being traumatized, scared and worried. Her facial expressions and body language were great!
Bai Jing Ting as Xiao Heyun,
He acted out this very introverted person who had a lot of intellect. When Xiao Heyun progressed in the drama, so did Bai Jing Ting's acting! At first he was cold and there wasn't much personality in him, but he soon turned out to be brave and caring! Bai Jing Ting was the right pick for Xiao Heyun!
