I envy you that you still have 14 episodes to enjoy and you can watch all of them in one go Enjoy!!!

@abs-oluteM I saw ep 12 out on Youtube - YoYo channel. The rest should be out next week, unfortunately...

If you like BJT and would like to see him in uniform, yes. If you like BJT and would like to see the manly side of him (by manly, I mean good body with muscle), yes. If you enjoy a natural, sweet, dorky, and healthy relationship, yes. We went crazy for a good two months.

@40somethingahjumma @NiteWalker The nod to You are My Hero is indeed subtle but rewarding for those of us who have fallen for BJT once already...

@abs-oluteM I think ep 9-10 are quite intense in terms of pace and discovery they had, which made the hug by the sea so much more touching. I really like that scene and the subtle romance between the leads. It is hard not to fall each other in such life-and-death situation when the other person is your only support.

@mademoiselle Re. Officer Zhang in the last loop:

@ktcjdrama I am still reading all the reactions online... it is nice that the drama is short, but it is not nice to say goodbye. ep 14-15 Bonus:

@mademoiselle I liked Lu Di too and his interaction with the leads. It is so dorky yet cute. XHJ being jealous without explicitly saying so is just adorable. Oh, those light-hearted scenes will be missed. 😆 @abs-oluteM Finally, you are at episode 8!!! It totally blew me away... I did not expect that level of intensity... The result is that I kept thinking about it ever since. I think the drama portraits their relationship in a very subtle yet heart-warming/wrenching way. The anti-explosion CP has sailed.. and Chinese netizens can't get enough of it. Unfortunately, EP9 with subs will come Tuesday, I think...

@ktcjdrama Zhao Jinmai posted this picture on Weibo today... https://imgur.com/I2muiLj To which, BJT replied with this screenshot of chat https://imgur.com/qoSm3pF Translation: Zhao: I want to post this picture on Weibo. Do you want me to Photoshop(retouch) it a bit? Bai: You think there is any point in PS this photo? hahahahaha

@ktcjdrama I am also up to speed now (episode 13). What a ride! I think the pace after episode 6 is on a totally different level, like a plane has taken off. Regarding episode 7-13: @abs-oluteM I really liked the interactions between the main leads in episode 5-6. I feel they are the last light-hearted moments before the crazy run later. XHY's small expressions are so cute when he was talking about how he became stronger. hahaha. I think LD's character also resonated with many people who are "stuck" in the virtual world (er ci yuan in Chinese). @40somethingahjumma Welcome! Always nice to see you in the same thread and look forward to reading more comments from you on this drama!

@abs-oluteM Don't watch too many trailers! It spoils the watching experience, sometimes... I don't like that there is so much difference in terms of airing schedule between Chinese platforms and international ones. I can't talk about it with you guys as I do.

@abs-oluteM I think the ViKi and YO-YO airing schedule is Tue - Fri, which means episode 5 will come tomorrow. It is too slow… Due to BJT’s efforts, they have added one episode to the VIP schedule this week Episode 8 is sooo good. They moved from trying to make you cry to trying to make you scared in no time. The last two scenes were haunting… I really need to avoid spoilers on Weibo… I think the watching experience is much worse when the suspension is gone.

Happy to see that more people are jumping on the train. I think the airing schedule on VIKI is probably one episode a day, whereas the schedule on Chinese platform is two-day a week, which is too little. I can't wait for you guys to catch up, as it is getting more and more intense as we go. @abs-oluteM I don't think the original novel talks about why they ended up in the loop, but I do hope there is an explanation later in the drama. I think now they both assume that you will get out of the loop if you can save everyone and stop the explosion. But on the other hand, they don't know if/when the loop will end abruptly, which means they still want to make the most out of each loop. I also agree that the police station scenes are really frustrating to watch, but again, if we accept that everything else is normal, it will be extremely hard to make a Chinese police officer to believe that you are trapped in the loop.

@Tofu I don't want to spoil anything, but you will know more about how the reset happens as the drama goes. I think it is quite well-done in terms of its logic and attention to details. All the questions you have as you watch it will be raised and answered by ML and FL in the drama. It also gets better and better... It is become very popular in China - everyone is talking about it on Weibo. We are also wondering why it is sooooo slow in terms of airing.

@Tofu haha - I was sick from the booster shot for a couple days, which gave me plenty of time... Also, it is hard to stop once you start, and you can get all the eight episodes on WeTV Chinese version. Anyway, I will wait for your reaction then I also think this might be a genre that interests @40somethingahjumma

@abs-oluteM I am glad that you enjoyed it. I think the subtitles on Viki might be better, if you are referring to the ones on youtube. Anyway, I think what makes this drama stands out is its very real depiction of how normal people would behave in dangerous situations like this and the discussion (explicit and implicit) of what it is being a good person. The theme gets more and more emphasized as the storyline progresses. I also think that the premise of resetting is simple, yet it is not necessarily an easy job to tell the story of two people trapped in a never-ending repeat of cycles. How to make it interesting for the audience to watch repeating cycles and not get bored is hard, but I think the directors have done very well so far.

I just finished episode 8! OMG!!! This drama is soooo good!!! The story is original and interesting in itself, and the way it is done made is even better. Though the premise of being trapped in some sort of loop is very much fictional and super-natural, the story it tells or the core of the storyline is about ordinary human being and their ordinary life, and about how ordinary people try their best to "save the world". It is suspending but touching at the same time. A refreshing genre for C-drama and a must watch!!!

I have watched five episodes on Chinese platform. It is a very interesting genre. Without reading the novel, it is very intriguing to see what is gonna happen. The pace is very good so far. The leading pair has good chemistry and dynamics. I can see why they casted BJT for this role. All those years at Who is the murderer have definitely helped him in this crime/puzzle solving role. :-)))))

I am on Episode 12 and it is definitely getting better and better. The pace issue at the beginning is less of an issue now. The plot, the characters, and the script are all quite interesting for me to enjoy the drama. The actors, especially Ruoyun and Hu Ju, are great, which carried a big part of the drama. The problem definitely lies with the directing and editing. The director is good with cameras, but he is not good at telling stories, which is a shame. What is most interesting for me is to see how the prince grows, both his martial art skills as well as his way of reconciling with the cruelty of the world. He has a very idealistic world view, which makes him extremely likeable and charming. But in the world he is in, how can he keep such idealism and find "the third route" is a very interesting storyline. I think it does speak to the strength or the charm of the Chinese martial art dramas: the protagonist's spiritual or ideological pursuit on a higher level.

I watched three episodes yesterday, and there are things I like, such as the witty/funny dialogue and dynamic between the father (Hu Jun) and the son (Ruoyun), and things I don't like that much, such as the slow-motion fighting scenes. But I think it is still too early to say. I never read the book, so I don't have any expectation in that regard. Pace-wise, it is a bit slow at the beginning, if we compare it with Joy of Life, but I also feel that story is way more complicated. Anyway, I can see online that people are complaining about the looks of the ML and FL, especially the FL. I agree that the acting of the FL is a bit off, but again I never read the book, so I don't know what the FL should look like. As for Zhang Ruoyun, he is never seen as a handsome guy. But his acting is what makes you believe in the character. He is doing a great job as usual, but I think he lost too much weight for the character... a bit too skinny for me. And I like Hu Jun a lot - miss seeing him in a costume drama!!

@Tofu @NiteWalker are you guys gonna follow this one? Because I surely am!!! Have not been so excited about a drama for a long time! They released the OST today.

The show is now scheduled to air on December 15th - you can watch it on WeTV. Here is the new trailer (supposed to be a funny style trailer). This is probably one of the most anticipated drama of the year. I am super looking forward to it!!!

You need to check out this one - it is a short watch with only 8 episodes. I just finished the first two. I must say the production is very high level. The cinematography is superb - movie level atmosphere and visual. The acting is super super good. KSH and his crying scenes... oh my god. I have been hiding out and not watching many dramas lately... ;-) Good to see you here.

I feel you. It is November and I am still not over it

Just want to come here to say that I am really looking forward to this show!
