Time Loops can be tricky and definitely have consequences to them!
Honestly, I have been a huge Bai Jing Ting fan for a while now after watching him initially in Rush to the Dead of Summer and You are my Hero. I have watched so many of the shows he has been in and have to say his acting is very versatile. I believe he truly is truly to act in some action dramas, his portrayal of Ding Qi throughout the drama was amazing. The emotions and expressions he carries as he tries solving the case is pretty spot on. Song Yang, who played Mo Yang Zhi, did a stellar job portraying Yang Zhi's evil side.
Though, I do feel bad that the women he loved was put on an experimental drug trial, by his mentor after he explicitly told him not to do it, ultimately causing her death. That definitely can make someone want revenge and turn them evil. Jiang Yu Wen is truly evil! For his own benefit and gain, he not only used the drug on WanQing, despite the warnings Yang Zhi gave him, but he injected himself with the drug so he can experience the loop and fake his death to escape Yang Zhi. Is Yang Zhi completely innocent in all of this? NO! He just really loved WanQing and will stop at nothing to bring her back, or as he says "cure" her. But what happened in the end? He hurt some innocent people and gained nothing/ did nothing to help her at all! He was obessed with this idea and couldn't let go...
Overall the plot, to me, was fascinating, I liked the concept of the time loop, but I still do have many questions. I hope there will be a season 2.
Questions I still have after the end:
- Why did the cycle repeat again at the end if the syringe erases his loop perception forever? I recall her saying "final chance to recosider this syringe erases your loop perception forever."
- How did An Lan save Ding Qi in the end? When Ding Qi wakes up Duan Zheng said An Lan pull Ding Qi back from hell. So, does that mean she injected him with the syringe then?
- How did she find the formula to help "cure" him and erase the loop?
- Does Jiang Yu Wen really not get any punishment for performing illegal drug trials on patients, especially on Wan Qing (Yang Zhi's love)?
- What happened to WangQing? In the loop, Ding Qi and An Lan find Yan Zhi's secret (that he has been preserving WanQing, so he can try to save her). After that we get them kissing in the fire, and then it loops.
- What happened to An Lan's mother after she wakes up?
- Does Jiang Yu Wen's daughters learn the truth of what her father did back then to WanQing?
