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.

Good series
To be clear, the creepy looking sea animal that appears in several shots in this drama–-the one that called certain characters “murderers”---is NOT a squid. It’s a cuttlefish. Why do all these fictional scientists get it wrong?Any real biologist (and a lot of the public) would know the difference. Just consult a science advisor next time, folks.
I’m guessing there are two reasons.
1. The villain calls himself “Squid.” Would he really have the same menacing gravitas if he called himself “Cuttle”? No? It sure wouldn’t work with the English speaking crowd. (Sounds too much like “Cuddle” and no one wants a cuddly villain.)
2. And, also, live squid are difficult little suckers–-sometimes even cannibalistic. So you’d need a separate tank for each–and they have to be fed six times a day. Better to hope no one notices that a shy little cuttlefish is masquerading as a squid.
Moving right along to the plot...I liked it. I admit I was worried about getting bored with all the do-overs–-every loop day repeating five times–-but it turned out that was no problem. Each of the five loop days had interesting plot twists. Portions of the overall story kept being revealed. The writers would double back and fill in a few details each time–-and each day the story went off the rails in a different direction.
If you’re muddled in the middle of this series–-stick with it. It gets better.
I thought Jingting Bai did a great job in THE FIRST FROST, and I was afraid, at first, that he wasn’t going to measure up in this production–-but he brought it home. The sound effects really enhanced the tension and some of the visuals were breath-taking.

a fantastic thriller! Bai Jing ting killed it!
Mobius is a time bending thriller with a unique concept and it perfectly maintains that till the very end. Bai Jing Ting did an immaculate job, and truly it is because of him. I watched the drama. I think the cast did a superb job in their roles even if it was predicatable. It kept me guessing till the very end. of course, it has its flaws. I would like to still say, the subtle romance was done very well. Most thriller don't even have a kiss scene, I am surprised they gave that to us. Janice Man, I can't comment on the actress. It was my first time seeing her. I still think she did good and the comedy just takes the cake. More then catching the villans. I waa curious on how the last loop would end. I was very satisfied with the end, but has it really ended? 😎Was this review helpful to you?
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?
One of The Best Short Thriller Drama of The Year
This drama has everything to become an entertaining & captivating thriller series. The story, though, was about a time loop; it did not feel boring and repetitive at all. The writer did a great job. The story was presented smartly to keep it engaging for the audience (At least I did not feel bored). The cast was nice, but my only complaint is the FL. I did not really like her. I felt the romance angle was unnecessary, and the ML & FL did not have any chemistry. Other than that, this drama was thoroughly enjoyable for me.Was 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: 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

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?
A Unique Time-Loop Mystery That I Lved
This drama was so good! The actors did an amazing job in every one of their parts. The concept of the time loop was very different and interesting, especially because he can only go back five times and that’s it. I also liked how it gave off the vibe of old Hong Kong–style Chinese police dramas. The bond between Section 4, the investigation crew, was really comforting to watch, and I loved how much trust they had in Ding Qi. The small comedic elements put throughout the show were also very funny and enjoyable.I really loved Anlan’s acting in this drama you can truly feel her emotions, and it all felt very genuine. Since I really enjoy investigative-type dramas, this one was definitely a favorite of mine.
