Sacrifice, Love, Life in Timeloop Agenda
A science fiction, action, suspense, comedy drama. Following a police man who has the ability to do time looping. Eventho he has the memory of every time loop, but he can't control the time loop schedule, he just did it because he has to, not based on his willingness.
Once a time, he's got two cases which seems natural and made by accident, somehow he felt that those case looks fake and manipulated. He convinces his policemate to re-open the case and have a detailing more again. The story goes long until the case has so much layering.
The multiple conflict which a bit confusing, and not gonna lie it's heavy enough. Also the opening sequence was kinda sluggish. I found it bit boring because the pace was slow burn, but whenever I got the ending of every episode I got excited by their mystery. I love how they crafting the whodunnit, wheredunnit, and howdunnit by their own way, not in a confusing way, instead gently straighten the tangled threads, slowly but clear.
The performance of Bai Jingting as protagonist was chef's kiss. How he could depict every emotion was detail and delivered well enough. His anger, confuse, intrigue, even his tired face were all its finest. Also the performance of Janice Man as the female heroine. She could portraying as suspicious woman. And guess what? I was totally wrong by suspecting her on entire episodes.
The action that packed and exciting, also the dynamic chemistry, banding together with DingQi's teammates was absolutely entertaining. I love their dumb and dumber action. The witty, gag jokes that fit perfectly with the genre. A breath of fresh air for me.
Kudos to the DOP, i love the camera works, the angles placement, also the lighting that enhance the tension. The cinematography that eye-pleasing. The footage scenery that looks pretty. Oh, not to forget the scoring that were bops. Some soundtrack that eargasm. I love their visual and sound design so much.
Overall, only by 16 episodes but this was one of the best craft of this year. 16 episodes yet nothing missed, everything was clear, nothing exaggerate nor a plot hole. If you craving for sci-fi, action, suspense, comedy drama, you might love this! This drama not only stunned by the screenplay, but also by the actors performance and the visual-sound design. What a great experience they served to me!
