Time Loops, Mystery & Twist!

"Reset" is a thrilling Chinese mystery series that dives into the wild concept of time loops. If you liked "The Final Destination," you’ll definitely find some cool similarities here, but this show has its own unique flair. The story follows Li Shi Qing, a college student who finds herself in a serious mess when her bus explodes. Every time she dies, she wakes up on that same day. At first, she thinks it’s just a weird dream, but soon she realizes she’s caught in a time loop and needs to figure out how to break free.

Things get interesting when she manages to frame a fellow passenger, Xiao He Yun, as a pervert, which lets them both escape the bus. By pulling him into her chaotic situation, she inadvertently brings him into the time loop as well. But the drama doesn't stop there—Xiao gets seriously hurt in the explosion anyway! Li Shi Qing struggles to explain everything to some skeptical police officers, and it’s a real rollercoaster ride as she tries to make sense of it all.

The acting is top-notch! Zhao Jinmai as Li Shi Qing totally nails those emotional scenes, and you can really feel what she’s going through. Bai Jing Ting, playing Xiao He Yun, has some powerful moments too, especially when he confronts the situation. Their chemistry is great, even though it’s not a romance.

The show is packed with clever little details that become important later, and the music—especially the opening—really sets the mood. It is a must-watch if you're into mystery thrillers. You’ll be hooked from start to finish!
