My view on this drama

Normally I just watch these Chinese dramas to practice my Chinese language skills (I'm a German national) and don't bother leaving reviews or feedback, but this drama is really nice and I had to leave a comment.

I was watching another drama (episode 5 of Love is Sweet) on Youtube when on the browser side with the video thumbnails I saw this Reset drama and it looked sort of interesting. So I paused Love is Sweet and opened episode 1 of Reset in another tab and only listened to the sound while doing other things on my PC (to practice my Chinese listening skills sometimes I just listen to Chinese speech in the background).

By the end of episode 2 of Reset I realised that this drama is something very special. I went back to episode 1 and started watching it, both audio and video. I finished the first nine episodes in 2-3 days, then had to stop because episode 10 wasn't available yet on Youtube. Later I found episodes 10-12 on Youtube with English subtitles.

I managed to find episodes 13-15 on another website, but only with Chinese subtitles. This was a bit tough, because without English subtitles I understand only about 80%-90%. But sometimes individual words are essential to understand what is being said on the screen. So I ended up watching these three episodes (as of today, January 30th they are still not on Youtube with English subtitles) in a stop and go mode - pausing the video and using my Chinese dictionary to translate certain words needed to get the meaning.

In any case this drama is really special - I hope it gets an average score as close to 10 as possible, because it really deserves it.

It's a mix of very interesting story, some science-fiction elements, very good acting and you see real people with their tough, every day life. It's not a drama like Love is Sweet, where everybody/everything is perfect and beautiful, You see some ordinary people who together manage to achieve something very special.

Episode 15 is the one I liked most. I've been watching certain scenes of the second half several times (and the soundtrack, Wake up, is also very nice).
