I've probably finished around 8 cdramas, started around another 15. This is only the second one I've really enjoyed,…
Then you haven't watched harem dramas where one male has over 15-20 girls surrounding him. I'm sure you've watched JOL then, it's a similar theme as SSS and equally good if not better.
I think the novel is long, since some chinese novels can have hundred to thousands of chapters or series, just like GOT. Master pieces can't be rush, I'm happy there's even S2.
Here's my thoughts...I don't know if it's the mood I was in when I tried to watch it or what but I couldn't make…
It's not that somber, there's some comedic or light tone scenes too. I actually like all the talking and the dialogue. I don't like mindless fighting. Without the dialogues we wouldn't know the revelations and surprises along the way. The stuff you didn't like are the stuff I liked haha.
I've been watching it at a slow pace like I'm hoarding this drama. Finally on ep 32 and just to see Li Chung Gang letting his past go or forgiving himself and seeing his true powers made me really emotional. This actor really did well and brought his character to life.
I gave this drama a go bc Wallace Chung's acting is always good. Plus, I havent's seen him in a modern for a while since Sunshine. He's a veteran actor, yes, but he still didn't improve his accent. I can't get into the drama and his character or storyline when his accent goes in and out from Mandarin to Cantonese. I feel like, as an actor in the mainland industry for decades now, he should make effort to fix his pronounciation, if not then just stick with his usual dubbed voice. I feel like he's just not making the effort, since I know Charmaine Sheh took Mandarin lessons to speak fluent Mandarin and she's doing great. Don't come for me, but I just don't think it's professional, especially since he's the lead.
I think what set aside from Reset or cdramas, compared to hollywood ones, is the use of human connection. In Reset, they take the painstakingly long task of telling each passenger's sob story and having us either relate or empathize with these characters. Which I don't think hollywood ones do
I don't get why cops don't put those sharp things that kills the tires so the bus will have to forcefully stop itself. Or also have someone knock down the bus driver so he can't drive. So many other ways.
I feel like bai's character is slowly deteriorating , every time he wakes up some new ailment to his body happens. But the fl is fine, which I think the only reason could be that she's the OG in the loop while bai was accidently brought into the loop, so he may be a casualty in the end if this case doesn't end soon.
Honestly, this type of plot isn't anything new since Hollywood, and most likely other foreign countries, have done this concept. For instances, Source Code is a similar concept. But I believe Reset is China's first drama of this type of concept and it's pretty well done so far. These type of stories can have a lot of loopholes if not written well.
I had heard this was good from people mentioning it on feeds but I wasn't expecting it to be this good! This has…
Give Ultimate Note a try, but it's a continuuem of previous series so you would have to kindda watch the lost tomb series. But Ultimate Note got me hooked on the whole trilogy and franchise
It was an accident though. What annoyed me the most is how all of those big brave men around were not trying and…
None of these male passengers are big or brave. there is one brawn man but just bc he's big doesn't warrant him to be brave and take action. I don't think there's much correlation to that, it's just the media assumption. Theres a sharp knife and people seriously injured, I would be shocked and terrified to step in. I bet they were shocked stupified. I do think that's a flaw in the plot for fl to leave the bomb in the bus, but I think it's to further show us that there's two bombers so the leads will have to stop both people, not just the lady. I think the driver is reluctant for this to happen since he was somewhat softhearted and let the fl off the bus plenty of times. The drama took in to consideration of letting us know that fl always board his bus and says he's a nice guy. So I think there's a chance to persuade him. I'm really happy this is a short drama as it means there's no dragging to the plot.
I like the determined and stoic look of bjt's face after he killed the lady. I guess killing someone really changes a person. Emtionally and mentally he can never go back to what he once was. Im intrigued of what's to come. Also, I think if the bomber wants to die then she can why bring along all these innocent people. Very selfish of her. And also the mystery of why fl is able to be in the loop and is preventing the bomb the only way to get out of the loop?
I was wondering how many eps there are since we already know who the bomber is, so 18 eps makes sense. Find the bomber and then find a way to stop them
Ep 8 was pretty good. Can definitely see Bai's character devlopment in ep 8. I was starting to lack a bit of patience since they keep waking up at the bus over and over again, but ep 8 was the turning point.
I think the novel is long, since some chinese novels can have hundred to thousands of chapters or series, just like GOT. Master pieces can't be rush, I'm happy there's even S2.
