I'm quite enjoying this series so far (26/78), and Sachiko moments and the song are giving me some real goosebumps!
But they do need to shut up with this"Baijie" gag, it's immeasurably tiring to read that every two lines whenever Li Dong Yuan is on screen (he also deserves better than that as a character).
Gripping and fun, even if quite over the top! Also I don't really have a problem with the ending at all, not quite sure where the complaints come from. Guess I need to read some negative reviews to find out!
Started off great then got gradually worse as the episodes went on, the structure was not solid and the writing…
Same impression, it hooked me in very fast but the farther I'm in, the more it's becoming a chore to continue. 4 more eps to go and at this point it's just cliffhangers that sustain my fading interest.
What a cool, gripping time loop drama! Took me forever to start this just because I prefer Japanese and Korean…
When it was initially reported that Wang Meng Meng jumped off the bus randomly for no reason, I had this theory that it appeared so because she had her own time loop that she was trying to solve, however the death she suffered turned out to be her final loop. Anyone else? x)
What a cool, gripping time loop drama! Took me forever to start this just because I prefer Japanese and Korean to Chinese, but it most certainly was worth it.
Just finished rewatching Pyramid Game. It's just as great as I remember! I first watched it in English sub and…
On my rewatch list as well, but can't imagine watching it dubbed. Doesn't it damage the Asian drama experience kind of, even if the voices fit well? x)
Very enjoyable, I liked the linear story structure because it suited the concept of the drama rather well. Some characters could be more fleshed out, but it didn't feel like much of an issue (surprisingly so, I usually like when there are rich backstories).
If I were to name one disappointment, it would be the Asou Minami episode (the "Ice Queen" as they called her). I had high expectations for it, but it felt really rushed and also fairly easy. They didn't really do her justice - she should have been a formidable opponent that isn't easy to sway, and there should have been more screen time to explain her personality and motives, build more on that "love starved" concept that they scratched.

Also lines up well with my plan to rewatch the series, I'll do so right before the show is out. Life's so good!

The first half of E01 has misleadingly fast pacing, for those that are concerned - it normalises later.
