Anti Reset (2024)

 Anti Reset is the 4th, and at the moment last, BL drama produced by the same company, the other three being VIP Only, Stay by My Side and You Are Mine. Starting from the fact that all four drama are good and very romantic, Anti Reset is maybe a little bit too slow and aseptic. Ok, indeed it's the love story between a human and an AI, so maybe being aseptic is expected, but I was sort of feeling like the emotional block that the human character, Chu Yi Ping, is living, has not being really cured by his forging a relationship with Ever 9. To me it seems that he has just found a way to remain safe in his isolation. Anyway, this is just my perception, the actors are quite good in conveying both characters and even if in slow motion, you arrive to care for them. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3/6.
