ICONIC

Absolutely fantastic. I'll be a happy camper if we get more Chinese dramas of this calibre! This is a drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat every single episode, filled with cerebral thrills and twists and turns, with just enough of a heady dash of romance to make you smile as well. The directing was assured and competent, the story tight and well-paced, and the acting absolutely phenomenal. I find that mystery thrillers can sometimes lean too much towards cerebral thrill and forget about the humane aspect of the story, but Reset managed to balance both perfectly. I wasn't just watching to find out what the ending was - I was also fully invested in the two main leads' emotional journeys, and was right there with them from the beginning. It definitely helps that Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai have adorable chemistry together!

If I had to nitpick, I did find myself wishing that the ending had a bit more of a shock factor to it. I still think it ended strong, but there was so much build-up that I felt the slightest bit deflated at the end, but this also comes down to personal preference, rather than anything that's actually wrong with the plot. HOWEVER, the emotional payoff was worth it, and I'm still giving this drama an overall 10 for such an incredible, nail-biting, spine-tingling journey.
