Oh wow.

I don’t usually do reviews here, instead I just rate them. I am an avid CDrama watcher since 2019. there are many I have seen, and usually avoid science, thriller genres or basically mystery types. I am the one who looks for academic vibes in a romantic story, maybe because that is what I crave in real life. lol anyways the actual review :

1. I initially had the playlist saved for a long time, and was trying to finish my long “to be seen” dramas. I got some off time these couple of months, so I was surfing mdl and landed on this gem. Starting this, I had no expectations from it. But the way the story played out and the cliffhangers, my mosquitoes couldn’t even budge me from watching it (it usually ruins my mood)

2. The main cast were awesome, FL was great at expressing emotions, I have seen her other drama “amidst a snowstorm of love.” first so I knew her from there. Her eyes speak volumes! ML was new to me or I didn’t notice him else where. But his character development from being “who cares if it happens.” to “I am not letting you die alone.” was magical and certainly his character was the most I enjoyed because of his quick reactions. (here is a spoiler pls do not continue i don’t want to ruin anything. ?) MengMeng’s Parents, lord her mother, her psychotic behaviour, it was the perfect portrayal. I kept wondering why kept going for no.45 but when the revelation came, oh lord, it was the pinnacle of the series. I do kinda wish Officer Zhang could have actually been a part of the loop, because of how much he contributes to the story, as well as how he dies, I think he deserved the loop (not in a bad way). The gamer kid, I forgot his name, I am so happy when I saw his parents finally overcame their paranoia for him, and listen to their child for once. Each character, had their unique story and moments, the way the series flowed, it literally played the elimination game with each of their backstory. to be honest I suspected the melon guy first.

3. Romance is not the main focus of this story, but ML and FL’s bonded over the trauma it caused them, the pain they went through just to save others, and ultimately saving themselves. like how the ML was basically dying at the last loop but woke up just before the explosion could happen and passed the bomb. Their chemistry was not top notched but their synergy of understanding each other. and how they still covered each other no matter what, made my heart melt.


this is definitely an underrated drama, I suppose many like me don’t come to watch suspense thriller CDrama, but this was worth the watch. I loved every second of it.

10/10 recommend it.
