stuck in the loop forever more
I love Bai Jing Ting a lot and did enjoy this drama. My main issues were the underdeveloped romance and the not well crafted side characters involved in the case. The plot could have been fleshed out more, and I feel like there should be a season 2 based on the ending we got. I did have major bi panic with a lot of the female characters because their face cards were so lethal. The combat scenes were well done though and I loved those scenes the most. <3Was this review helpful to you?
Where Action Meets IQ and Heart
It starts with that classic “Wait… what just happened?” feeling , but hang in there, because the plot ties itself together like a clever Möbius loop. Each episode adds another piece of the puzzle, mixing slick fight choreography with moments that actually make you care. There’s romance, but it’s more “battlefield bonding” than “slow-motion staring” -just the right dose to keep things human without turning into a soap opera.Acting/Cast: The acting? Rock solid. The FL is fierce, smart, and doesn’t need rescuing; the ML has brains and biceps (finally, both in one package 🙌). Together they pull off trust, tension, and teamwork like seasoned pros. Their emotional beats land perfectly... not too heavy, not too hollow, just right. And the supporting team? Absolute gold. Every mission feels like a group project where everyone actually did their part.
Chemistry: It’s not fireworks , it’s fusion. Their trust builds fast, their banter is natural, and you just believe they’d take a bullet for each other. Less “Will they, won’t they?” and more “They already did, and they didn’t even need a love confession.” 🔥
Smart fights, not just loud ones. Every move has strategy ...and a twist, it’s less “explode everything” and more “use your brain, then explode everything.” The pacing keeps you alert, and there’s always a twist waiting around the corner (sometimes two).
Rewatch Value: High. Once you know how the story loops, you’ll want to go back and spot the clues you missed. Plus, it’s fun watching the team click like clockwork again.
Final Thoughts: Mobius is that rare gem, action with emotion, intellect with instinct, and a team dynamic you’ll genuinely root for. It doesn’t just spin the wheel, it drives it full speed. If loyalty, logic, and low-key love are your thing, buckle up. This ride’s got heart, heat, and heroics in perfect balance. 💥
Overall: 9/10: A sharp, twisty action drama with real brains, bursts of emotion, and teamwork so good it makes the Avengers look like interns.

We’re thrown right into the action alongside a detective (Bai Jing Ting) who’s stuck in a time loop trying to stop a violent bank robbery and bombing. Turns out this phenomenon is nothing new to him. On random “loop days,” he has five chances to relive the events of that day — which he uses to his advantage as a police officer.
Whether the genre is romance, costume, or thriller, BJT is a versatile actor who’s compelling to watch. He seems particularly suited to this type of role — cool and capable on the job, but a bit awkward in his personal life — and looks convincing in fight and action sequences.
There’s plenty of red herrings to puzzle through and suspicious characters to keep you guessing, along with flashes of humor, a hint of romance, and some fun team camaraderie. There are some twists that are predictable once you start to connect the dots, but overall, “Mobius” is a gripping and fast-paced watch right up to the conclusion.

Amazing for fans of Reset
I love time loop stories and this drama delivered so hard!!!!! I actually loved the character of Mo Yuanzi like the actor who plays it (Song Yang) is so good at playing his role. Yes, he is a villain but I rooted for him sometimes because his backstory is kind of sympathetic. Love makes us do crazy things. The rest of the cast was great too. I wish we had more dramas like thisWas this review helpful to you?
Loop drama with fresh takes
The story was so good that you cant stop after starting and this is only a 16 ep drama so you can finish in 2 days on a sat nyt and sunBJT you are handsome again you were saving the scene when FL was beside you,
All Cast was so perfect except except excpet FL she was so out of place in this drama her presence was so off that i wanted to skip but did not becuz of BJT
Lead vs Antagonist scenes were top notch
I feel this has very less rewatch value becuz of setting place of drama doesnt feel real at all
Story and Direction are very very strong that you can ignore minor flaws and makes it a must watch

Mobius: Hostages of Time
The future is shaped by small, routine actions that determine tomorrow. If given the chance to go back to a specific day and change one action, how much would your future shift? It’s with this captivating premise that Mobius takes root in our curious minds, drawing us into a game where those who know the past hold power over the future.The storyline is gripping from the very first episode. We’re introduced to how the time loop works for someone who perceives time in this case, our protagonist Ding Qi. While still in college, he mysteriously gains the ability to consciously relive the same day five times, with the fifth being the definitive version. There’s no pattern or warning: loops happen, and a small intervention can change everything.
I was thoroughly impressed by how the plot evolved with each episode. No loop was wasted; every restart revealed alternate versions of what could have been if a single misstep had occurred. The decision to focus on just one case was compelling, showing Ding Qi that things are far more complex than they seem.
It’s undeniable that Bai Jing Ting’s performance is breathtaking. I first saw him in The First Frost, and here he proves his versatility from well-executed fight scenes to comedic moments that offered genuine comic relief, perfectly balancing the seriousness of the plot. Beyond Ding Qi, the supporting characters were fantastic, each playing a vital role in the story’s progression. Personally, I missed An Lan’s presence in the final episodes (and I suspected MYZ too, he seemed a bit too obvious, but I was side-eyeing her as well LOL).
It was an incredible experience following this systematic game, full of twists, losses, and laughter. And like any good time-loop narrative, the final episode leaves us with that lingering feeling: as today repeats, they’ll keep trying to change the future.

Mobius: A Waiting Line Disguised as a Thriller
Mobius has a huge problem: its time loops kill the tension. The show makes it clear that everything only gets solved on the 5th loop. So what about the other four? Just rehearsals. Pure filler.Even the main character admits there’s no fear of dying. And if the hero himself doesn’t care, why should the audience? When he dies in the 2nd loop, it doesn’t matter, because you know he’ll be back anyway.
On top of that, the plot is overcrowded with suspects, but that’s not real intrigue — it’s just confusion disguised as mystery. What could have been suspenseful ends up feeling like waiting in line.
Mobius turns what should be tension into simple waiting, and that kills its own suspense. Because if everything is decided on the 5th loop, it’s nothing more than an hourglass that only cares about the last grain. Not a thriller, but a waiting line disguised as mystery

A sci-fi thriller that is bingeworthy and a great ride!
Möbius is a very good sci-fi thriller. It has it all: superb acting, very good direction and high quality sets, locations and atmosphere. Even the OST was appropriate. Perhaps this is the result of only 16 episodes - quality can be maintained throughout and the budget spent on things that matter.The elements I liked very much included the loyalty of BJT’s team, the relationship between the OTP - understated and very good, the concept of a five day time loop and the RAN technology used. I also liked that the two male leads were evenly matched.
My only real criticism was the manic acting at times by the main antagonist and his mentor. Both are very good characters in their own right but perhaps too over the top at key moments - especially the ones that repeat over and over. Also, I didn’t enjoy some of the over the top emotional scenes by some of BJT’s team went on for too long - however, this is the hallmark of many CDramas.
At the end of the day, why would BJT do another time loop drama? Well, because Mobius was well written and had a superb cast. It would seem Season 2 is on the cards.

It was really good
I really liked this show. I love BJT so i try to support his dramas. The story line was very cool and his acting was great. The lead actress was okay too. I personally didnt like that they tried to add the humor on this show,like how he was joking with the murderer and trying to make light of the situation when he already knew the dude was a killer. I also personally would have liked to have swwn mire action and fighting scenes as thats the kind of show i thought it was going to be. Also there were just a few parts that didnt seem to add up,like how he survived that cardiac arrest at the end and how his girl made the cure so fast. But i would still rate the show a 9/10 im really glad they did only 16 episodes i think more chinese dramas should do this. When they have 30-40 episodes alot of the time they just drag the story and add too many filler parts and i jist find myself fast forwarding the extra bits.Was this review helpful to you?
Bai Jing Ting back to what he excels at!
It’s been a long time since I truly enjoyed a BJT drama. After Rest and You Are My Hero, most of BJT’s recent period male lead roles haven’t quite resonated with me. I personally think BJT shines in modern, action-packed dramas.I loved that the story sets in a fictional city with all these accents thrown at you. The storyline is so engaging that I lost 5 days of sleep watching this! It’s packed with action, sprinkled with just the right amount of romance and humor. Not a single episode felt draggy. I do wish there had been more screen time for the supporting characters, but overall, the execution was top-notch. This drama is easily one of the best of 2025!

Very engaging plot
My eyes were glued to the screen. It was thrilling, it was thought-provoking, and it had the perfect length. I was very impressed by all the performances. I gave it a 10 because I think this show deserves it, and I’m not sure what they could have done to improve.They managed to make a time loop drama interesting, and that’s a feat in itself. It has a little bit of romance, but it’s on the back burner. All in all, a very fun watch and a very good job by the team.
I look forward to more.

Bai Jingting Reigns as Time Loop King
Hold onto your time-turners fans of Reset because Bai Jingting is back with another addictive time loop drama! I love a good time loop story (Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day, Source Code) and Mobius does not disappoint. Reset centers around two students (with the help of the police) trying to logic their way out of the fatal groundhog day time loop they are stuck in. Mobius, on the other hand, presents a unique take on time-looping as Police Sargent Ding Qi (Jingting) takes advantage of his time-loop awareness to try and uncover the mastermind behind threats against biotech company executive, Mo Yuanzhi.The series rarely slows down starting with the first action packed episode that also expertly sets up the time-looping mechanism. Subsequent episodes weave backstory threads into the central plot to create a suspenseful storyline. Looking for action? Mobius action scenes are exciting and well-choreographed. Want food for thought? The mystery surrounding the biotech company will keep you guessing. Like a little romance? Though subtle, the romance in this drama helps to up the stakes.
And of course - Bai Jingting is a big reason to watch Mobius! Unlike his Reset character who is thrust into his first time-loop at the beginning of the drama, Ding Qi is a veteran looper when Mobius starts. This is clear by the intelligent way he makes use of the loops. Bai Jingting shows his ability to play a layered character filled with complex emotions who is also a bad ass hand-to-hand combat expert. (Anyone else getting those You Are My Hero vibes?) While Bai Jingting is good historical dramas, it's in modern dramas where he really shines.
I enjoyed every minute of Mobius. (Maybe many times??) The only question I have now that it's over is -- How soon will Season 2 come out?
