A Justice Requires A Big Struggle To Achieve

A science fiction, mystery, suspense, drama. Centered on a girl whom a college student stuck in a metro bus that suddenly expload. She got shock because she's waking up again—after those expload at the same seat of the metro bus. She's figure it out that she is at the time loop event. But, she keeps wondering about how she get out of that metro bus and that damn time-loop-situation.

Not only the story of time-looping for uncountable times, but also the tale of revenge for the beloved one. The justice that sometimes feels gray and doesn't come to the right person. The justice that somehow need requires a big struggle to achieve.

If you expecting this to be science accurate like any other sci-fi time loop theme, then this ain't for you. Not focusing on science matter, instead focusing on mystery itself. The whodunnit, wheredunnit, whendunnit, and howdunnit in the same event. The big questions that keeps coming up as far as the show runs. The layering conflict that many amount of it, but they success to explained it well enough. Like a tangled thread that slowly straightens out

Dare I say the performance of both heroine were utterly magnificent. Both Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai have nailed it. I love how Zhao Jinmai serving her best mimic, her amateur expression, her trembling voice, her frustrate were fit perfectly. And Bai Jingting that portraying as someone who's innocence and clueless of what's going on was match precisely. I love the way he could balancing the dynamic emotion with Zhao Jinmai as the female protagonist. Looking at their acting was seizing me through the screen, like I was dragged by them and joining to be one of the metro bus passenger. The amateur touch at its finest.

Not only profound by the actors performance and the screenplay, they also stunned by the visual and sound design. I love the exploading sound effect, felt majestic and rumbled, also the scoring that insanely odd yet enhance the tension. Reminds me that this is dolby atmos worthy, by the way.

The visual design, eventho they barely use many set places, and mostly used two set places. I'm beyond amazed with the way they serving it with the shaky camera movement which felt amateur, the lighting that felt different of each moment eventho they used the same place. Success craft to giving different ambience in just two different set places. Don't forget to mentioning the CGI explode that felt better than any other chinese drama.

Overall, by those positive things that I mention, they still have the minus one. Sadly they had a couple plot holes in it. But, it's not a bad at all. Instead, this is one of the best sci-fi cdrama I've ever watched. If you love time loop and mystery theme, you might like it. The tension was worth to experience!
