Anti Reset - Taiwan

This is the fourth and final series in VIdol's 'VBL Originals' project (after 'Stay By My Side', 'You Are Mine' and 'VIP Only'). Filmed last summer under the name 'Eternal Law' (or 'Law of Eternity' depending on the source), the title was changed to 'Anti Reset' shortly before the first of the VBL Original's series commenced screening. It stars Huang Li-Feng and Wu Bing Chen as the central couple Ever 9 (the AI robot) and his human counterpart Chu Yi Ping. Support roles are played by Zhou Yongxuan and Chen Zixuan. The series is directed by Wu Canqi who was also responsible for 'VIP Only'.



Synopsis: "When Chu Yi Ping, an emotionless young man, dislocates his hand in an accident at school, his uncle gives him Ever 9, an experimental intelligent robot that his company has been secretly developing, as a caregiver. Although Yi Ping is reluctant at first, he finds that Ever 9 complements his own personality deficiencies, causing him to reciprocate the companionship. Yi Ping asks Ever 9 to make a wish list that they can complete together, but before it is done, the robot malfunctions and needs to be reset. After that Ever 9 seems different and rushes to complete the wish list, pretending to be bored with Yi Ping, and he eventually requests to be returned to the company. Puzzled by the change in Ever 9, Yi Ping tries to find out what has gone wrong between them but remains oblivious to the fact that Ever 9 has learned how to be human and experience love... Has an artificial intelligence that can be reset at any time really become sentient and qualified to fall in love? Is there a way for them to be together for life?"

GagaOOLala have now put out their English subbed version of the trailer.

Strangely enough, the robot seems to be called Heng 9 here, though Gaga's accompanying notes still refer to him as Ever 9.

All the shows in the VBL Originals Project have had cameo crossovers between their different stories and 'Anti Reset' is no exception. In Episode six, Chu Yi Ping and Ever 9 happened to cross paths with (my favourite VBL couple) Gu Buxia and Jiang Chi from 'Stay By My Side'. I'm still hoping we might get a full second series with them coping with all their ongoing ghostly shenanigans.
