EPISODE REVIEW
REMINDER: THE RATING HERE IS NOT THE ACTUAL RATING. I'LL RATE THIS AFTER WATCHING THE DRAMAEP 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.

EPISODE REVIEW
REMINDER: THE RATING HERE IS NOT THE ACTUAL RATING. I'LL RATE THIS AFTER WATCHING THE DRAMAEp 1 (⭐: 9/10)
Damn, my first impression of ZRX is that she’s gonna be a total badass. I love how the drama instantly pulled me in, and now I’m hyped to see how the love story between ZRX and LY will unfold. I didn’t even read the synopsis, so when that ending hit in episode 1, I was jaw-dropped. Finally—a fresh take on the whole “reborn” plot!
Ep. 2 (⭐: 8.5/10)
Damn, now she suddenly becomes a princess! But honestly, I really want to know what happened to the real princess back then—like, where’s her soul now? I also have this feeling that Zhou Ruo Xi (in her second life) might end up becoming the villain because of Li Yan and Fu Wei’s future relationship, but I really hope that’s not the case. What I do wish is for Fu Wei to actually help Zhou Ruo Xi in the future, rather than them turning into enemies.
Ep. 3 (⭐: 9/10)
-Mind-blowing! Turns out she isn’t the real princess—guess I was too dumb to not notice that earlier. What I’m really waiting for now is Li Yan’s reaction when he finds out that the girl in his dream is actually Fu Wei (2nd life) and not the current Zhou Ruo Xi. Also, Ling Lan teaming up with the new antagonist wasn’t too shocking, since short c-dramas usually pull off a twist like this, but it’s still fun to watch. At the moment, I’m totally loving Fu Wei, and what excites me most is uncovering her background from her first life.
EP. 4 (⭐: 8/10)
-This one’s going to be a short review, but I just need to say what I think about Li Yan (2nd life). Honestly, I really hope that this time he doesn’t so easily fall into a romantic relationship with Fu Wei. Like, if he does start liking her, then he needs to move on from Zhou Ruo Xi (2nd life). Because imagine him liking two girls at the same time—I’d seriously go crazy.
Ep. 5 (⭐: 9.5/10)
-Damn, Fu Wei finally revealed her face to Zhou Ruo Xi and Li Yan. Honestly, I kinda wish she hadn’t revealed it this soon. I get that she wants to investigate the Wang family case, but it might’ve been smarter if she just made Zhou Ruo Xi act as her replacement whenever the maid went to her room, instead of showing herself too much. Still, I can’t deny it’s getting more and more interesting!
Ep. 6 (⭐: 8/10)
-Last episode for today! To be honest, this one wasn’t too superior compared to the others, but that’s okay—it feels more like they’re adding fuel to the fire for what’s coming next. Personally, I’m just not really into the romantic scenes, so that part didn’t hit for me. On the brighter side, I actually kind of like Zhou Ruo Yao (Zhou Ruo Xi’s sister). She seems genuinely good and kind, and I really hope she doesn’t pull a sudden turn and become a villain like her mother.
Ep. 7 (⭐: 7/10)
Kaboom—looks like we’re heading into Zhou Ruo Xi (2nd life) villain territory! 👀 But honestly, this episode didn’t feel super mind-blowing or impactful compared to the previous ones. The highlight for me was definitely the moment when Zhou Ruo Xi’s father’s wife died—that scene stood out the most. Other than that, not too much grabbed me this time.
Ep. 8 (⭐: 8.5/10)
Last episode for today! Finally, my misunderstanding has been cleared up—Li Yan only sees Zhou Ruo Xi as a friend. That’s honestly a relief, because it would’ve felt so weird if he ended up liking both of them.
In this episode, the one who really grabbed my attention was Zhou Ruo Xi. Damn… is her villain arc about to kick in too soon, or will Fu Wei be unable to stop her and change the outcome? Also, I’m kinda confused—why did Fu Wei say she wouldn’t go meet Li Yan, but then moments later she shows up? Did she already know Zhou Ruo Xi was impersonating her?
