WHAT would you do if you were trapped in a time-loop on a bus that is destined to either crash with a fuel tanker, or be blown apart by explosives carried by a passenger?

That’s the plot of the 15-episode Chinese drama “Reset.” College student Li Shiqing and game designer Xiao Heyun fall asleep on a bus and when they wake up, time’s ticking on the last 20 minutes of their lives.

They have to use every resource to fight for their lives. The best case scenario, saving everyone onboard.

With each loop they uncover more details about the other eight passengers.

Soon the unfortunate duo discover one of the passengers is carrying homemade explosives. The suspect has plans to detonate it at a certain time and place.

Even though it has far-fetched setting, the show does not lack an organic development. It shows the detailed process of the leading actors in ruling out possible suspects.

Starting aired on Tencent Video on Jan. 11, the show’s 13 episodes have been watched more than 800 million times in China, ranking No. 1 on Alibaba’s TV and movie real-time statistic platform piaofang.maoyan.com, with only two episodes left to be released today.

It’s also been well-received on YouTube, even it’s only an upload by a fan with self-made subtitles. Its first episode alone has been watched more than 1 million times.
