EPISODE REVIEW
REMINDER: THE RATING HERE IS NOT THE ACTUAL RATING. I'LL RATE THIS AFTER WATCHING THE DRAMA
EP 1-5 ( ⭐: 10/10)
- I got surprised at first because I didn’t read the synopsis, so after watching episodes 1–5, it gave me Reset vibes. This is my second Bai Jing Ting drama and I didn’t expect the nostalgia, but it’s really interesting since I’m into sci-fi dramas.
I love how some scenes here are funny (like the haircut one), and so far I don’t really have any complaints because it’s been entertaining for me. I honestly can’t wait to see how they solve the mystery behind the time loop and the murders happening in the company.
For now, I don’t trust any character here—except the police team. So i give it 10/10
EP 6-7 (⭐: 9.5/10)
-Those times where DQ got killed by a gun had me confused at first, because in most dramas when the ML gets shot, they miraculously survive like nothing happened. But honestly, that’s not even an issue here—it actually makes it feel more realistic.
Now I’m super focused on the loop. Like, is it some kind of medicine that was injected into DQ? And then suddenly the loop just stops looping, which makes it way more interesting. I also love how the characters are starting to wonder about their dreams of being killed. And thank god they didn’t suspect DQ as the mastermind, because he basically knew what was going to happen already.
I don’t even remember another C-drama where I couldn’t fully trust one of the main leads—but here, I wasn’t fully trusting An Lan. Also, I was so hyped to see the outcome of killing the old man (yeah… I’m bad at remembering names, don’t come for me 😅).
The only part that bored me? The company meetings. Like… idgaf about their business strategies, please move on hahaha.
So i give this a 9.5/10
Ep. 8–9 (⭐: 10/10)
Damn, this is getting more and more interesting. Honestly, between the student-teacher storyline, I feel like what happened to the teacher definitely has accomplices—and I don’t really suspect the obvious ones.
Also, I love how they used that funny background music when An Lan questioned Ding Qi about how he knew the incident—it lightened the mood so it didn’t feel too stressful.
Okay, theory time: I think An Lan’s friend (the one in the hospital flashback) might actually have been a tester. And the whole loop situation, I’m starting to suspect that Jiang Yu Wen (Mo Yuan Zhi’s mentor) is the real mastermind behind it all.
And omg, I cannot wait to find out what Yu Shi Ya (Mo Yuan Zhi’s wife) saw in that room that scared her so badly.
So I give this episode a 10/10
Ep. 10-11 (⭐:9.5/10)
After these episodes, I’m convinced we’re just scratching the surface—more unexpected twists and hidden identities are definitely coming. The reveal of Ye Kun’s true identity honestly caught me off guard, especially once the story started tying back to Feng Wan Qing (An Lan’s friend). Didn’t see that one coming.
On another note, Fang Lu (our short-haired police officer) feels a little too impulsive for me. She just headshots the enemy without hesitation. Sure, it resets in the loop, but imagine—if that’s already the 5th loop, then boom, another piece of evidence is gone forever. I feel like she should aim for non-fatal shots instead, at least to preserve clues.
Theory Corner 🕵️♀️: I think the person Yu Shi Ya (Mo Yuan Zhi’s wife) saw in the basement is actually Feng Wan Qing. She’s still missing, and An Lan hasn’t found her yet, so it would make sense. Also, I have a feeling either Tang Xin (the Moma employee) or Maggie’s mother has some kind of secret connection with Jiang Yu Wen (the mentor).
Ep. 12-16 (⭐:9/10)
Wow, these episodes finally revealed that everything was Mo Yuan Zhi’s doing, which tied so many loose ends together. Even though the drama is only 16 episodes long, I really appreciate how they wrapped up misunderstandings and gave us solid answers without dragging things out. I still have a lot of questions left, but that’s part of the fun—it leaves me thinking. One thing I’m proud of is that my theory about Tang Xin being the daughter of the mentor was actually right, so that reveal hit hard. Overall, I might not be the best at writing reviews, but I enjoyed how neatly the story concluded and how most major mysteries were explained.
