Worth Watching but Nothing Spectacular
Decent modern, sci-fi action dram. But the time loop just became way to repetitive with each loop day repeating 5 times. Even with only 16 episodes I did skip through some.
The Good:
- Only 16 episodes so it minimized filler scenes
- Bai Jing Ting (ML) crushed this role. He is vey well suited for modern action/cop roles. But he also is very good at adding vulnerability and humor to the tough guy role.
- The bond between the police team was genuine and believable with trust and humor.
The Bad:
- the romance between ML and FL was forced. Zero chemistry, with no background or reason for their romantic connection.
- the FL was miscast. She was not a good actor and her facial expressions were unnatural and forced. She was so boring.
- the constant switching between languages was unnecessary. I understand that this is a made up city that is meant to be diverse, but logically it didn't make sense when people were speaking & understanding each other perfectly in Mandarin or Cantonese for an entire conversation, then they would randomly insert English in there (the English accent was terrible and no needed).
- Maggie the support character - terrible casting. You can tell she's just a model with no acting skills. Her character felt so stiff and out of place compared to all the other supporting cast.
