Synopsis
When Li Shi Qing (Zhao Jin Mai) awoke that fateful morning, she had no idea her life was about to change forever. Going about her day as usual, Shi Qing boarded the bus without ever giving her actions a second thought. But when the bus she was on was involved in a horrendous accident, Shi Qing had only seconds to realize that her life was about to end. Or was it?
Waking up that very same morning, going through the exact same motions, boarding the same bus, and dying in the same accident, over and over again, Shi Qing soon realizes that she has become trapped in a never-ending time loop. Desperate to find a way to escape not only the loop but her tragic fate, Shi Qing inadvertently drags fellow bus passenger, Xiao He Yun (Bai Jing Ting), into the loop with her. Together they try to find a way to alter their fate, by ensuring the bus arrives safely at its destination but attempting to do so proves anything but easy.
Just as Shi Qing and He Yun attempt to free themselves from their endless time loop, two other individuals find themselves stuck in a loop of their own. Connected by forces none can understand, the four trapped souls attempt to solve the riddles surrounding their mysterious fates. Will they be able to unravel the clues surrounding their peculiar fates or will they be stuck in these endless loops forever?
Adapted from the novel, “Kai Duan,” by Qi Dao Jun, “Reset” is a 2022 Chinese sci-fi thriller drama directed by Sun Mo Long.
