I was tagged by @dusiks and @connorjesup to show my gifs before and after coloring 💜 thank you for tagging me! it's always fun to go back and see what i've giffed and the different ways i've played with colours. I tend to use the same process (exposition/curves/levels + selective colours/vibrance) to make things more vibrant and less dark/flat (+ to sneak in some purple whenever i can!)

i'm not sure who's done this before but i tag @melonatures @kdongyoung @bittergloss @kateknowsdramas @liveasbutterflies @storge 💜

hi tea!! ive been 👀 at reset lately do u feel like telling me a bit about it? like i know it's about a time loop but it seems a bit long to be going over and over for 15 eps 😅

cata, beloved!! that is exactly what i thought when i first started it! i was like "how are they gonna stretch a time loop over an entire series??" and then a few eps in i 180'd and thought "how have ppl been able to fit time loops into only one ep/movie??" it seems like it'd be annoyingly repetitive, but surprisingly it isn’t! the individual loops tend to last a while and the plot is pretty different in each one. because of the decisions the main characters make and their goal of ending the loop by doing things differently, it doesn’t seem like watching the same thing over again, even when there are details or motions you know in advance. it keeps you on your toes each loop and helps with that redundancy.

the way it is edited also helps. for loops that are a lot shorter and can be redundant, the show presents them to us in intriguing manners that personally kept up my (generally very bad) attention. and this goes for more than just the repetition! i love the cinematography and editing of reset, it heightens the mystery elements and knows just how long to focus on one scene/storyline to keep the audience engaged but not bored. through a technical lens, i honestly think the series is a work of art and has been made by people who are v good at their jobs.

now, the shining factor of the drama is truly the stories it tells and the heart it has. the time loop plot is fun and exciting and mysterious and all that, but, like the lovely sofia @ahxu-laowen said, “apart from the very intriguing plot, this story is about kindness and empathy”. the language arts nerd in me is popping out here but every character is a round character and almost all of them are dynamic. we get to see so much more than just the protags and their adventures with the time loop. we get to peer into the lives of the people around them, those who generally would be tertiary characters instead become deuteragonists that the series makes us care about and empathize with. and the magic of this is especially present in the main character shi qing, who is kind to all of them and listens to (or investigates into) their stories. without giving anything away, even the antagonist is round and dynamic, and i think it serves to give us a fantastically fleshed out story. it's so much more than just a time loop.

and of course, while not the main focus and definitely more subtle, the romance is just *chef’s kiss*. i know you watched happiness, so i'd say its romance is very similar to that of reset. i've said this so many times to so many people, but i am just the biggest sucker for that whole "we've been through so much together/only trust each other" dynamic. i mean, (to paraphrase @bittergloss) the intimacy of being trapped somewhere that only they know the truth about even though they exist with everyone else?? having to fight and struggle to survive and get out while only having each other to lean on??? staying by each other's side bc goddamn it they've gotten this far together and going on any other way is just wrong???? that shit does things to me 😭😭😭 so yeah, if you liked that about happiness i think you'll enjoy it in reset as well.

and just some closing remarks on the comparison of reset to happiness bc they're very similar in my mind (though that may just be bc i hyperfixated on them back to back absdjsk). they've both got the same balance of plot/action to personal relationships and the plots are v similar from a danger/urgency standpoint. idk, i just think they have v similar vibes and i enjoyed both immensely!

aaaanywayyyyy, sorry for the essay, i love reset sm and i have a lot to say, lmao. i hope that was helpful and that you decide to watch!! if it helps, my mom doesn't really watch tv and drops things sooo fast, but she loves reset! like, she's obsessed now, absjdkfl. and you picked the perfect time to start it bc it's fully subbed as of literally right now! anyway, yeah, hope you enjoy and you are so welcome to come scream about it with me if you decide to watch!

i saw this and wanted to do it, so i’m tagging myself lol.

rules: list 3-5 snippets of literature/media that live in your head rent-free to the point where you have them memorized; write them down from memory, no cheating allowed!

1. from pinocchio (2014): “you can hate me. you can leave me. it’s okay.” “how can i, when it’s you?”

2. from code: realize (watch me butcher this lmao): “i’m a monster. an immortal monster who failed to die years ago and now wander the present world as a corpse. that’s why.. your poison means nothing to me. it’s okay, miss cardia. don’t be afraid to touch me. i.. i alone can accept your touch. if you’re not alive then neither am i. if your life means nothing then neither does mine. so, please don’t say such sad things.”

3. from fruits basket: “kyo-kun, my favorite person, even if it was nothing but painful for you, i’m really happy to have met you. your awkward kindness made me happy. your smiling face and your embarrassed face made me so happy. so much that little by little, these things, this happiness, turned into love. i loved you more than anything else.”

4. from flower boy next door: “people that always think happiness is within their reach, how happy must they be? that woman get scared in front happiness. to that woman, happiness is like children’s blow bubbles. something that will burst when she tries to touch it. so, in front of happiness, that woman gives up without even trying to reach out her hand.”

5. from just between lovers: “there is no such thing as feeling happy because things could’ve been worse. being unfortunate is just feeling miserable.”

“Mu Ze, in fact, we are the same. From beginning to end, we love ourselves the most. But you and I are different. At least I’m willing to face my own desires. You? You obviously love her, but you torture her and suspect her. Admit it. In front of her, you feel inferior like a dog.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“Do you know why women can detect when men change their minds? People have two eyes. But they can only look at one place. In your eyes, Lu Anran is the only one.”
