Reset the Series Is Not Just a Drama – It’s Absolute Cinema.
Remember this "Pond is going to heights we can never imagine.” After watching the first episode, he was stuck in my head the entire day. At first, I was hesitant to write a review, but I knew I’d regret it later if I didn’t. So here I am!These days, many dramas focus on the behind-the-scenes lives of actors (like My Stand-In, Top Form, etc.), but even if the theme is similar, every story has its own unique charm. And let me tell you—this one is a REVENGE PLOT, and I love angst more than anything. This drama fits every category I adore.
People are comparing it to Marry My Husband, but Reset the Series is special in its own way.
The first episode was a BANG—1 hour and 10 minutes of pure brilliance. Every second, I found myself praying for it not to end. And even when it did, I was still craving more. It was mesmerizing—beautifully written, with amazing cinematography that made everything perfect.
There’s only one word for it: MASTERPIECE.
Every cast member deserves immense appreciation. I absolutely loved Phat—what a great friend! The secretary? Eye-catching. (Sir, are you single by any chance?) And of course, my baby Bom and First—they were amazing as always.
Special mention to PP/Thada—he was phenomenal! He carries that badass aura so effortlessly ( He's a Daddy for sure ). And Armin in that black shirt? AAHHHH—who wouldn’t fall for that diva? Honestly, we can’t blame Thada.
The music? Spot on. It worked so well with the revenge tone.
And after watching the preview of the second episode, I threw my phone at my brother’s face. He’s still recovering, by the way. 😅
Everything in this story feels perfect—nothing more, nothing less.
And oh my God, the chemistry! It was only 5–10 minutes, but you can already see Thada falling head over heels in every frame. I swear, there’s going to be serious competition for the best BL couple title. They’re going to rule the genre. They’ve got the potential.
The only thing I felt lacking was the makeup for the 45–50 Year-old actors—honestly, they still looked 20–25 to me. (Except for Armin.) They could’ve done better with aging them. But hey, that’s forgivable—we got this gem in return.

What an absolutely scintillating start!!! Pond back in his elements
I was so waiting for Pond and this drama and finally when it arrived, it just blew me...what an absolutelly ravishing, scintillating start this is...people, just watch it already!!BL-Needle Score: 7. Moderate BL-ness so far
The script gets you in, almost as soon as it starts...the production values are really high....Pond is ravishing and Peterpan is just dandy....the first episode has delivered all that I was hoping it would, and more....
Special mention: That Nokia 3310...that is an episode of history in itself...lol
After 180 Degrees, this has to be the next best BL for Pond, unless something goes really wrong down the road....It definitely has the potential to become my favourite drama from all those that are airing right now....the hooks are in place, the plot thickens, and so does the excitement...to think we have to wait a whole week now...damn!!!

First Impression: Reset
Overall: I'm excited with the premise and how the first episode went. This is based on the book Reset by Crystaljade which I haven't read and I'm reviewing the series on its own merits. 10 episodes about an hour each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/reset-episode-1-2812ixbgl6w?lang=en_usContent Warnings: punch, blood, violence, vomiting, something that's complicated/a spoiler
What I Liked
- interesting premise
- engaging intro
- Pond's acting
- protect/caring moments
- mystery elements
Room For Improvement
- cartoonish villains
- the timeline doesn't make a ton of sense regarding how everyone does not look that much older/younger
