A PERFECT THRILLER AFTER A LONG TIMEEE!!!
I did not have any expectations when I first started the drama. I was completely unaware of its storyline, plot and hadn't even watched the trailer. I just jumped write into the drama, going from the face value. And I was captivated by the action sequences and the acting, in just 10 minutes of the first episode. I couldn't stop myself from watching the drama. I completed all the 16 episodes in just 2 days and I am very proud to say that it was my best drama choice so far!
It doesn't have that overpowering love angle but yeah, love plays a latent powerful role in the whole plot. The thriller, the mystery, the chills, the tension and the deception, all are the key elements of the drama. It should really be made into a Netflix series. It is so well-written and directed, I got so emotionally attached with our 'cops' team and guys, spoiler alert it is not a sad ending though it does demand season 2!!
So there is a murder mystery that's being chased and also prevention of a foretold murder as announced by the 'squid.' Is squid the mastermind behind all the murders? Who is 'squid'? In every episode, the number of suspects increases. Many a time, I think that at this point anyone can be the 'squid' (the murderer). Every character is so intelligently written and ahs a subtle backstory, that adds spark to their deeds and behavior. It is difficult to fully decode anyone's personality or their motives. We can't exclude anyone from the suspect list. Dang qi (the protagonist cop) is a time loop perceiver i.e. he retains the memories of loop days (certain days repeat 5 times and the 5th time is the final outcome). He is so strategic, flexible, has got out of the world fighting skills and brain. Every moment of the loop day is carefully and meticulously planned. There is so much that goes beyond the normal eyes and every move has a deeper motive. The whole scene of Moma biotech, genetic experiment, technology, early trials and revenge, really adds a unique unprecedented angle to the drama. The storyline is amazing, how everything unfolds one after another just at the right time, there is nothing that you can guess beforehand, and so many intelligent moves are written.
Episode 13 was my favorite. I will not give the spoiler alert but it is the best episode of the whole drama. The 'wow' moment for me. No unnecessary subplots, no messy storyline, clear character roles and execution, really makes it one of the best thriller dramas of all time. "Corals and trees can map the age/ time of the world. But since last few years, the rings has increased from 365 to more than 400. The time and space are changing." This line sums up the base of the whole drama.
Everything starts falling in place once you reach the end of drama. The bigger picture starts revealing itself and it is majestic and unbelievable at the same time. The drama will really make your adrenaline go crazy, you holding your breath and your eyes always focused on your screen. How one simple research (a genetic one) can lead to such drastic changes, it is just an example to what our future world holds. The scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, heirs and the police all navigate through these changes in a tangled yet deadly way. In whose hands will the power rest? Can we trust the person? Is life for a life worth it for that person? Can we change our destiny? WITNESS THE MOBIUS.....the traps, the breakthroughs, the search and the ultimate chase!
