2022 Roundup, day 17, 18: Favorite directing and on Kdrama recommendation
My favorite directing this year is the Cdrama Reset. Almost entierly set in a buss and on a police station, this 15 episodes drama was about a bomb onboard a buss and two people living through that same buss journey in a seemingly endless time-loop while they try to figure out the motive and identity of the bomber and prevent the people on the buss from dying. While I’ll remember this show forever for the fear of the Chinese police it installed in me, it was an all-together thrilling ride with very neat and tight writing and acting. And the directing by Son Mo Long and Lui Hong Yuan keeps you hooked every minute, lest you’ll miss something. The rich details and OST makes it a great show for rewatch and also dubs it my non kdrama recommendation of the year.
Reset was great (if you can get past the rather whitewashed portrayal of the cops). Tightly written with a refreshingly composed, smart, empathetic female lead.

Oh, this sounds so good. Thanks for the recommendation, I have already added it to my very long “to watch” list.

It sounds interesting! There was a movie called Speed (with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock) with a similar plot.

Speed is not too bad of a comparison actually, just imagine that Keanu got blown up a couple of times while he figured things out.
