“your existence, may be the only key in breaking this deadlock"

那就下次再见吧 | then let's meet again next time with actors: bai yan白妍 and du yuze杜昱泽 (baidu) episode count: 59 tags: urban romance, city, strong female lead

synopsis: xia guishi, who suffers from an emotional deficit (fear), finds herself trapped in a time loop that constantly resets. she discovers that everything is inextricably linked to xie ci, a former classmate she once secretly admired.

short review: we're back with another time loop except this one is CONSTANT. something's happening in every episode while FL is trying to figure out how to break the loop and also try & save those that might have died. i'm easily frightened lol so let me say that i got scared a couple times watching this. this was a good and short watch. legit thinking they should've tagged this as a suspense?? also bai yan's character just goes for it, no fear, nothing.

oh the vehicles 🚗

also the way they say 謝家華 (xie jia hua) [matthew han's character] is funny to me because in cantonese its ze6 gaa1 waa4
