Refreshing and captivating
Honestly didn’t know what to expect when getting into this but it was very refreshing as compared to the usual cdrama plot line the focus on the mystery on the bus and the showcase of relationships on the drama was done perfectly I’m a fan of all the actors after this, the acting was immersive I don’t think we’ll get this type of show for a while so I’ll be rewatching again. Honestly a good showCet avis était-il utile?

The most perfect drama I've seen!
This is absolutely one of my most favourite dramas by far! The characters were great, the storyline was amazing, and the overall performance was an absolute banger!I only watched this because some of my friends had watched it when it first came out, but I didn't have the heart to start it until this year (because I wasn't a cdrama fan back then). But now that I've finished it, I have to admit, I do wish I had seen it earlier.
To summarize the beginning, the FL wakes up on bus no. 45. Seemingly frantic, she yells to the bus driver that there is a pervert on the bus (AKA the ML). She ends up pulling the ML off the bus, and then leaves him without any explanation. However, she hears an explosion in the distance, and a motorcycle ends up bumping into her, which gives her a concussion. In the hospital, she sees the ML, who had debris all over his body. When the police come in to interrogate her, it is revealed that she is in a time loop, where the bus she is on is always about to explode. As expected, the police don't believe her, and then it is shown that the ML has died. The FL falls asleep, and then she wakes up on the bus again. Unexpectedly, the ML also wakes up and finds himself in the time loop. After many failed attempts to get off the bus, the two end up making plans to prevent the bus from exploding in the first place. The two progress through all the difficulties they face (getting interrogated by the police, getting stabbed, facing the truth of those behind the bombing, etc), and no matter how hard it is to find the truth, they continue to fight to protect the innocent beings on the bus and around.
I really enjoyed this drama, as it was more focused on the actual storyline and the development of the characters, and there was no side drama involved. The plot was straightforward, and kept me captivated throughout, which is why I really liked it.
I hope Restart (if it'll be confirmed to come out) will be as captivating and as awesome as Reset!

Uma história bem desenvolvida, tensa e emocionante
Quando coloquei esse drama na minha lista, eu já imaginava que seria bom, mas foi ainda melhor do que imaginei. Reset cumpriu todas as minhas expectativas e ainda ultrapassou-as.Com um plot comumente utilizado e que pode ser cansativo às vezes, o drama trabalha muito bem a questão do loop na narrativa, combinando momentos muito tensos, mistério e investigação.
A forma como o mistério do drama é criado é muito boa e cativante, do tipo que você fica ansioso para saber as respostas. Tem tantos momentos tensos que me fizeram gritar de aflição, foi realmente uma montanha russa assistir esse drama!
Os personagens são interessantes e bem desenvolvidos na narrativa, gostei bastante dos dois protagonistas, ao ponto de ficar aflita demais por eles.
Algo que gostei nesse drama é como ele mostrou os sentimentos humanos: seja nas histórias das pessoas do ônibus, na amizade que existe entre certos oficiais da polícia ou na cumplicidade e carinho que cresceu ao decorrer dos episódios entre Xiao He Yun e Li Shi Qinq. Mesmo que o foco seja o suspense, os sentimentos humanos estavam lá demonstrados nos detalhes, ao ponto de me fazer chorar com uma cena de pessoas dividindo uma melancia no ônibus.
De verdade, creio que não há nada que eu realmente não tenha gostado nesse drama. Pra tentar ser mais crítica, admito que o fato da polícia ser sempre muito "mágica" e descobrir as coisas em questões de segundos, ou a presença de algumas conveniências de roteiro me incomodaram um pouco. Mas não sei, talvez por eu raramente ver dramas desse gênero, e ainda, encontrar c-dramas desse gênero, resolvi não focar nesses aspectos e deixei passar, visto o tanto que foi empolgante assistir Reset.
Eu achei esse drama muito bem produzido, desde o roteiro, fotografia, a ost e as atuações. Inclusive queria destacar as atuações, pois foram incríveis e passaram cada emoção muito bem! Esse elenco foi ótimo.
Apenas um ponto positivo aleatório na minha opinião: não há aquele filtro esbranquiçado horroroso (que faz os personagens ficarem brilhando ou parecerem velas) presente em muitas das comédias românticas chinesas!! Essa atmosfera costuma me incomodar bastante nessas produções, pois as sombras e texturas da pele ficam muito estranhas, ao meu ver. Sei que é apenas um pequeno detalhe, mas isso fez ser mais "confortavel" de assistir.
Enfim, eu amei Reset demais. Recomendo muito! Com certeza um dos melhores c-dramas que já assisti.

One of the best!
Truly one of the best C-Drama I have ever watched. IMHO, it also surpassed some K-Dramas. The story and the plot were concised and the time loop plots were not boring because they gave us more and new informations. Each episode also explored the different story about each passangers. It gave me suspense and made me curious that I kept wanting more. The drama managed to surprise me with the twists but it also gave a clear picture of what could really happen in real life (how onlookers are afraid to report, or how some cases were not investigated completely). All the actors did their best with their roles, but the victim's parents were the best! Bai Jing Ting and Zhao Jinmai killed in this roles! Definitely an underrated gem and worth to watch!Cet avis était-il utile?
E uma das melhores coisas é que você não fica cansado ao longo dos episódios, por mais a história tendo repetições já que fala sobre loop, mesmo assim tudo te envolve ao ponto de fazer não querer parar de assistir. Também não posso deixar de dizer o quanto eu amei essa ost no fim de cada episódio, sério, agora não irá mais sair da minha cabeça. Uma completa perfeição!

This Drama Deserves an Oscar
Starting from the storyline, the actors' acting, post-production, I will give everything a perfect score.'Reset' is a science fiction drama that is not boring even though it has the theme of 'time loops', which means the actors always repeat the SAME scene. Repeating the same scene is not easy because there are many details that cannot be changed, because if a detail is forgotten then the audience will find flaws, but the actors and crew managed to do it well in every scene so I was satisfied.
I have a lot of respect for the writer who created 'Reset', I think it's genius. How can she/he make a story about 'time loops' but not be boring at all? I was surprised because the climax of the conflict was completely unpredictable!
Lastly, I'd also like to appreciate Bai Jingting (he's an amazing actor) and Zhao Jinmai (a very promising young actress) for successfully impressing me with their acting, starting from facial expressions, speaking intonation, and other small details. Even though Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai are 9 years apart in age (Bai Jingting is much older) their chemistry is superb! The two of them work well together! and kudos to all the crew!

AMAZING
This is a must watch cdrama!If you love action thrillers with a little romance this one is PERFECT!
The way its written,the cast, the story, the characters I JUST LOVED EVERYTHING
I loved the satisfying happy end too! Everyone got happy in the end and the culprits got punished too it felt amazing!
It was so exciting to watch that I just binged every episode and 15 episodes with 45 minutes was just the perfect length for that drama. It explained everything really well and it all made sense as of how they made t to the happy end! This drama is pretty underrated and I havent seen a lot of people talk about it…which is kinda sad bc it really deserves more recognition!!
I hope Ill find similar dramas to this one because the romance too was so amazing and some parts in the drama made me sob out of sadness and at the end bc of happiness😭
DONT HESISTATE TO WATCH IT ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I MEAN IT!!! ❤️❤️

Thriller, suspense
What a story, every episode you learn something new because the main roles wants answers.Worth watching.. 100%... i like the that the writers showed us how each of the supporting characters contributed to the overall story and how they were investigated by main roles... The cops weren't of much help especially when one goes of the story or even die more than 16 times.
Please watch, i swear, you wont want to stop, thriller, suspence, a little romance, self finding, responsibility, life saving and and

amazing story at its core.
i went watching this show with low expectation. i don’t personally watch a lot of time travel, or time related plots in dramas. safe to say that this is at the top of the list.the characters are complex on their own and they each have their flaws and imperfections which make them as real as they are.
the characters themselves are complex and we get to unravel and find out things on our own and with the characters as well as the show goes on. don’t think i’ve ever watched a show where the main leads or the characters have as much information as we have.
what made me happy the most is seeing the ppl in the bus having there own stories and plot per say. made me feel this feeling of sonder. the ppl we see in our daily lives have their own lives as well. they struggle and they accomplish just as we do as well. so you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover bc in the behind the scenes, we don’t know what’s really going on.
towards the end, we finally find out what is happening on the bus and those specific characters stories and feelings. i like to believe and spoilers: the daughter was the one who put li shiqing (our main character) in the time loop trying to save her parents from making a decision that she thought was wrong. that’s my take since we never get the answer on who put them in that situation and why it kept looping. also begs more question on why her? why didn’t the other passengers be able to do it as well? it’s very thought provoking bc although we get answers, we still can question on many things but it’s not in a way where it’s an obvious plothole, it just is.
i love our main characters. i think they’re both my favorite main characters ive watched thus far. they had tension and they had chemistry but it wasn’t forced, it flowed perfectly as it should’ve been. they are both different as they are but they both help each other and try to figure out ways. i think as the story goes on we see how li shiqing is very empathic and how she tried hard in many ways to save everybody, xiao heyun on the other hand wants to save himself. different ideals but they both aren’t wrong. again, thought provoking. but as characters do they change as the story goes on and i think we see the most in that for xiao heyun.
xiao heyun wants to save her and himself while she wants to save everybody.
he supports her in every shape or form possible, they both fail and try again. again i just love them so much. <333
i love this dynamic and it worked well with their personalities. the side characters had they’re shine and they shined beautifully. we get our happy ending but it’s in a way where all the characters got there happy ending and i feel as though it was the only ending we could have gotten and it should have happened.
—————————————————————————————
i know i wrote a lot and i don’t think ive ever written this much on a review for a drama but i hope this was a good review for you to read! pls if you have any recs that are similar to this show pls let me know bc i would love to watch more!!!
definitely recommend if you love to see character development, serious and funny moments. flawed characters and thought provoking ideas. good pacing and again just good characters.
thank you for making it this far! :D

Such a good Series
I had this in my plan to watch for good year now, I never quite got to the point of watching it, however, as I am per moment going through a period of sickness I made myself scroll though my PTW list and found this gem.Honestly I regret not taking the time and watching it, the casting is phenomenal, love female lead and male was also wonderful in this, the supporting cast was also so well done, the characters felt genuine and real.
The instigators/villains of this drama were so well thought out and a twist I wasn’t prepared, I was sitting at the edge of my seat at each plot layer and secret we uncovered along with the main leads. The plan of action for the characters were so genuine and realistic at points I had to go and say”hmm, I would have done the same thing if I were in their position”, this just goes to show how well written the characters were!
If you enjoy watching dramas with mystery, character driven plots, realistic, loveable and quick to act characters you’ll definitely enjoy this drama! <3

Short but sweet
I really liked this show. Like a lotThe whole premise of the show is this time loop situation but it doesn't really get repetitive. Probably one of my favorite cdramas. Characters were pretty developed. Ending was really good. The romance was pretty decent and satisfying too, it was like the perfect balance between a mystery, sci fi, and romance. Personally, I would've loved to see a little more romance, but that's just bc im a sucker for love <3 It gives enough though to leave the show feeling satisfied.
I dont usually rewatch shows, but I might rewatch this one!

Hitting the ground running
I was highly anticipating this considering how glowing the reviews are, and yep, one episode in, I was intrigued.The drama really jumps right in and never lets up. I'm really grateful this show has just fifteen episodes because it's just the right amount. For a time loop drama, it never got boring or repetitive, which is impressive. In ever loop we learned something new and we also got to see our main characters grow closer.
The acting is great across the board. The main leads' chemistry goes without saying, but I really want to give extra props to the main antagonist. The actress absolutely kills it and sends chills down my spine.
Maybe the only thing I would want is a little more time spent on the epilogue/aftermath. I liked seeing the side character arcs getting wrapped up, but wanted a little more of our main leads, whether it was seeing them return to their everyday lives and seeing how the time loop changed them, or reconnecting with the people on the bus, or even having a little fun with introducing a sudden relationship to their friends.
It also feels a little iffy to me that the final message of the show seems to go for a "and the police did their job and everyone got what they deserved" direction. While it somewhat makes sense, I wish there was just a little bit more nuance about social pressure, incompetent officers, and laws that need to be amended.
Overall, though, still a great watch. I understand why it's rated as high as it is.
