A very easy to watch modern cdrama that’s quite addictive and also nerve wrecking, with its short 45mins x15-episode run and repetitive explode-burn scenes across 25 time-loops, that could cause some slight post-drama traumas taking public buses and hearing Canon in D music popularised to drama viewers by kdrama Hospital Playlist.

Second half has more contents as the back stories of each passenger and social issues on bystander effect, cyberbullying and sexual harassment are weaved in as the two leads sought out to stop the explosion and time-loop.

I still wonder:

1. Why was the FL caught in the time-loop in the first place? Was it to help the deceased student of her age and her family seek closure?
2. Why was the ML weaker with each subsequent time loop after he accidentally stabbed a passenger?
3. If the Police Officer Zhang went into the final time-loop after he died in one time-loop, as he didn’t interrogate but merely asked the two leads outside the police station in the final episode?
4. Why the ML and FL had walked a bus stop distance, after the ML accidentally stabbed a passenger, to the village where Tao stayed, where the police were and yet dodged the police?

The drama could also have been better if there was also a backstory for the beefy headphone guy, or did i miss out as i watched this over a weekend? Plus the Chinese accent of many characters is quite strong, and dubbing could have helped.

And finally, Liu Dan who played the charismatic Princess Nihuang in Nirvana in Fire had a dismal portrayal as the cold and robotic female police boss Du, topped off with a horrible wig.
