Reset Life (2019)

Short dramas are the best. No filler, no tangents, just a good story delivered straight into your lap.

The plot itself isn't groundbreaking but the execution sealed the deal for me. It's more about the journey of a girl going all in after she's given a second chance in life rather than a romance, something I really came to appreciate by the end of the show.

On the music side, one pet peeve I have is that Chinese dramas tend to have cringy and exaggerated music for sad scenes which is extremely off-putting, so I'm glad to see this drama forego that for some amazing OST that actually made me tear up. But I cry a lot during dramas so maybe it's not that amazing lol

Most of the actors were rookies when they made this show and they were pretty solid. I have no complaints because I was immersed the whole time. Well, maybe one complaint — the show wasn't long enough for them to really show off their skills. Season 2, please!

Too short!!! I want more and more!!!

Celebrating Ryan Ding’s birthday, I write this short review for this short series. Reset Life is my seventh Ryan Ding’s drama. This series is very short only 5 episodes but it’s really enjoyable to watch. Ryan Ding as usual plays his role as Cai Tianmu perfectly. His chemistry with his co-star in Reset Life is beyond my expectation. I can feel their chemistry. I still wonder why I haven’t seen the actress Li Yingying who played Yun Xiaoxi so far. I think she is a good actress. I hope I still can see her in another series. This series has a fantasy element in it and makes it more interesting. I wish it had more episodes. And I wish I can turn back time and change my life completely.
Story: 10/10
Acting/Cast: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Rewatch Value: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
Happy Birthday Ryan Ding. I hope you will be casted in more and more series and movies.
