amazing, heart touching show
(Only docking points for rewatch value because it gave me a lot of anxiety while watching. If you don't mind or don't think that'll be an issue for you, consider that a 10/10 too!)
I have read a lot of time loop fiction but this was my first time seeing the trope in a show or movie, and Reset has set the bar very high. From the first moment of this show all the way to the end, it kept me on my toes, never sure what to expect. And somehow, each time, the show delivered. With each new loop, it never felt boring or like we were rehashing things we'd seen before, and I'm impressed by how many avenues the creators found to explore. Without going into detail, I had been okay with the second to last loop being the last, but I love that they tried one more time and that the outcome was what it was.
My favorite aspect of the show is undoubtedly the humanity and the connections forged between the characters. Shiqing and Heyun started out as total strangers, but by the end it truly felt like their connection was rock solid. And in each loop, the way that the other passengers (especially Lu Di, who was one of my favorite characters) stood up and tried to help any way they could, god it made me cry. The themes of compassion, bravery, helping out your fellow humans, they were done so well.
Though obviously I loved our main leads, I am very glad the show took the time to explore other characters and how they got to where they were, it added so much to the story. The last scene where everything comes full circle and there's finally some closure to be found, it was just beautiful. Absolutely amazing work all around.
