This drama kept me on the edge of my seat!
I have never seen a 'loop' drama this good. I was holding my breath the entire time I was watching this show. I'm used to watching Chinese dramas with 24-50 episodes, but this one, though it only has 15 episodes, every character's backstory was perfectly relayed, and I'm glad all of the passengers got their full closure and happy ending.The drama has a good mixture of suspense, thriller, mystery, crime, angst, and a little bit of humor and romance. If Amidst a Snowstorm of Love gave me a whole damn zoo, watching Reset, I was on pins and needles the whole time! I can't explain how I got so nervous every time they were being interrogated by the policemen. The policemen were scary but I appreciate how this drama perfectly portrayed how police should take action in real death and life scenarios. Hands down to all the characters in this show, everything was perfectly well executed.
I can feel the exhaustion of Li Shi Qing and Heyun the entire time they were in the loop. Imagine going through the same thing over and over again just to find clues and resolve their case.
I didn't expect Bai Jing Ting and Zhao Jin Mai chemistry to be this good. I wish to see them more together in the future as well.

brilliant , recommend to watch!!!
I've never been this satisfied when watching a dramas , this drama is really extraordinary, leaving no question and ending as expected. The actor acted very professional, the director was also creative, because the filming locations is in the same place perhaps it didn't cost too much to make this drama, but the most important isn't that, this film is very very good and I don't feel it was a vain to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
I stumbled upon this drama from google, I had no expectation when I first watched it and my mind was blown as I'm watching the drama. The pacing is perfect, not too fast and not too draggy. The cast has amazing chemistry with each other. No plot holes, the details being put into this drama are top notch too. I can only say praises to this drama, and I will definitely be rewatching it once I get free time.

REALLY RECOMMEND
I barely watched any c-drama until the end cuz i always dropped at the middle, but sure this is the first time ever i successfully finished the whole episodes of this drama, the suspense, the plot everything is beyond the level. I really love the combination of the two main leads and i really can feel the chemistry between these two. There are no unnecessary characters that added to annoying, just a pure villain character just to be a reason for the existence of the plot and thats it . Really straightforward, not angst . How i wish we get see more romance scene between the two leads.Was this review helpful to you?
So good I actually forgot how to breath!!
Honestly, this was another one of those great watches that surprised me. I thought it was going to be cringy and stupid like a whole lot of other time-travel/loop stories but this was executed really well. The adrenaline was always kicking and I felt like I was stuck along with the main characters in the loop trying to find a way out. To the point, I noticed I was holding my breath or pulling my hair out of frustration. Very good acting even from the support characters and not boring at all. I watched all of the episodes in one go!!I definitely recommend it!!!

Binge-Worthy Drama
Just finished Reset(开端), series about one guy and a girl stuck in time loop. They need to stop the bus from exploding. Need to say this is a phenomenal show. The two leads did a really great job. The plot is really solid and unlike other c-dramas it's just 15 ep . Not once did I feel bored while watching this show. Oh yes I forgot to mention that the ed is fking nice and the song played in the last episode 💕 . Really loved those small anime references .It's a must watch for people who like stories with time loop and sci-fi thriller. This is better than most of the k-dramas and c-dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best thriller drama I've seen this year
Not only the best, this drama doesn't have any major logical problems with its plot.First, the chemistry between the 2 leads. It is perfectly built up alongside the plot. Their trust not instantly grew the moment they face eath other. They have to go through so many things that they can finally trust each each other. Also they're actually such adorable couple.
Second, the police's work isn't against any illogical way at all. Of course, policemen aren't perfect. But there are many dramas where the police are like a bunch of highschoolers who don't know how to conduct an investigation or even being outsmarted by ordinary citizens. In this drama, the police work according to what we expected them to do.
Third, all of the characters (especially the support roles) aren't there to be just cannon fodders. They exist with reasons. Moreover, all of the events happening in the drama can also be explained logically.
All in all, I don't have any major problems with this drama. There are only a few dramas that I gave more than 9.0 rating. This drama is one of them. Highly highly recommended.

Clean way to reset your mind
If you're looking for a drama that's short and not a lot of episodes then this drama is a must watch. I first saw some clips of this drama on my Tiktok for you page and thought it was interesting and decided to give it a try. Totally worth it!!! This drama is about two people who goes on a bus and ends up getting trapped in a time loop due to an explosion accident on the bus. THese two work together to solve the mystery and try to save everyone in the process. an amazing drama that's written really well. Although this drama mentions a cycle of repeat, it never gets boring. Each new cycle is filled with more clues and situations that makes you feel like your apart of the crowd. Each cycle is different and provides different points and clues. The main leads chemistry was amazing. Even though it was a slow-paced romance, but you could definitely feel the chemistry was there. with only 15 episodes, the directors and production crew managed to tell a story in a short amount of episodes while not rushing the plot or the ending, providing the viewers with a sense of comfort. Throughout the whole show, you will never get bored and it is really amazing to watch. Thee ending was also very well done, because usually in a short-episode dramas, they tend to rush the ending to quickly finish the drama, but all the pieces come together and provides a very satisfying ending. everyone on that bus got an ending where they live their normal lives and their happy, providing each character with a sense of closure. I also love the way all the passengers of the bus helped even though they dont know eachother, which really shows the compassion of people when faced with dangers.*A little spoiler!!!!!!*
The acting was also very well done by the whole cast, especially the lady carrying the bomb, hearing her story about her daughter and how painful it was for her.
Overall this was an amazing drama to help refresh your mind if you feel too overwhelmed by longer dramas or don't have a lot of time to finish a long drama. I finished this drama in 3 days, it was so addicting!!!!! <333333

Def recommend it!! Great family friendly thriller drama!
It sooooo good, every episode keeps you up on your toes. Definitely recommend it!! its a great family friendly drama. All the actors did such a good job and every character has their own story. I think they did a great job at the script too. And i think this is the only drama where the leads have completed the whole drama in just one outfit!! (lol)Was this review helpful to you?
Binge worthy!
Wow! If I could just stop my review here, I would, but since a certain number of characters are required, I'll expound a little bit. First, the time loop premise - there are so many ways that it could have gone terribly wrong, the worst being feeling like everything is being re-hashed over and over. They did not fall into that trap, instead each loop was just a little bit different than the last, with us the audience, learning right along with the main characters. As I was watching, I felt that this was a really fresh take on the concept of deja vu.Acting - the main characters did an excellent. As I find in most Chinese dramas, the ancillaries suffer from overacting and the terrible dubbed voices. I could forgive it here because the whole story just kept moving so fast.
There was a touch of romance to the story, and it, by necessity, took a back seat to all the action. I really felt like the main characters were drawn together because of their experiences, but their relationship was very believable. I felt like if they met under ordinary circumstances, they would still be drawn to one another.
This show gets you to thinking about, if you could go back and change things, or set them right, how would you go about it? What would you be willing to do?
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of watching this.
