Reset is a captivating series that blends striking cinematography with a well crafted script. The narrative follows Armin’s compelling journey as he attempts to navigate and ultimately change his future. While his extended sequences of internal dialogue occasionally slowed the pacing (and was slightly annoying), they also served as a thoughtful device to reveal his process of piecing together the truth and why the people from his past played an important role with all the events that transpired. His repeated references to future events/slang/things felt like his subtle way of signaling to Thada that he truly came from that time, so when those moments eventually unfolded he would see what he’s been saying is true.

All the characters are richly developed, each serving a distinct purpose that adds emotional depth and narrative weight to the story. The progression is well paced, skillfully weaving together events from the future and the past, tying up most loose ends and addressing lingering questions. The conclusion felt satisfying and emotionally resonant, providing a strong sense of closure.

That being said, a few questions remain unanswered:
1. What became of Ren, was he ever found? I know he said he wanted to be an actor only, but with all he did what path did he end up on?
2. Was Lilly ever held accountable for her what she was doing to the talents?
3. Did Achi ever break away from Lilly? And if not, did he manage to distance himself from Lilly and come to realize that she had been using him all along?

Overall, Reset is a gripping, emotionally charged experience. It kept me on edge, evoked laughter and tears, and delivered moments of genuine shock. Without question, it stands among the best BL dramas to emerge in 2025.
