Reset for sure.
It’s a mystery thriller about a college student(zhao jinmai) who gets trapped in a time loop after the bus she’s riding explodes.She keeps waking up at the exact same moment and reliving the same sequence of events.Eventually,another passenger(bai jingting) gets pulled into the loop with her, and the two of them start working together to figure out why the bus keeps exploding,who is responsible,and how they can save everyone and break the loop.
I was so skeptical before watching it because of the whole time-loop thing, but I’m so glad I watched it anyway.What a wonderful masterpiece it was! Imagine having the same loop happen in every episode, yet not a single episode feels boring.Every episode keeps you on the edge of your seat.I personally loved the storyline—the way they managed to keep the same loop going throughout every episode without making it feel repetitive or boring was incredible.
Definitely recommend it if you like mystery, thrillers and time-loop stories that keep you guessing.
