Emotional, Flawed, yet Wholeheartedly Captivating
Reset takes on the popular time-travel trope and delivers an engaging emotional journey, balancing high-stakes drama with genuine romance. The story follows the lead character, who wakes up in the past after dying, determined to change his fate, rewrite history, and navigate a web of hostility and envy from those around him.
What Worked
Unstoppable Chemistry & Performance: The strong, unconditional love between the leads is the beating heart of the series. Armin and Thada share an effortless, heartwarming connection that carries immense emotional weight, and Thada’s smile alone lights up every scene they share. Both lead actors deliver solid, grounded performances that make their relationship feel deeply believable and captivating.
Standout Supporting Cast: The bodyguard/assistant stole every scene he was in. His charm and presence provided a perfect counterbalance to the heavy tension of the main plot.
What Could Have Been Better
Over-the-Top Melodrama & Predictability: The show leans a bit too heavily into traditional drama tropes. The plot twists are mostly predictable, and the villains feel like exaggerated caricatures from older classic movies rather than complex antagonists. Thiwthit’s character comes across as overly melodramatic, and the main villain’s final arc, losing his mind in prison, felt like a tired cliché.
Continuity & Styling Choices: On a minor detail level, Armin’s hair in the opening episodes missed the mark. More glaringly, there was a noticeable continuity error: after taking a bullet near his heart, a subsequent intimate scene shows him completely scar-free without any explanation.
Final Verdict
Despite some predictable writing, melodrama, and a few production slip-ups, Reset succeeds where it matters most: delivering impeccable lead performances, an intriguing central concept, and a genuinely moving love story. If you enjoy time-travel romances anchored by palpable main-lead chemistry, it’s well worth a watch.
