Great acting and fascinating story
I stumbled across the OST by accident and was intrigued, even more so when I found out it was for a series centereing around a Cyberpunk theme. I gave Infinity a shot and boy oh boy was it a wild right!The total runtime of this Chinese Mini series is only about ~45minutes, hence it's very fast paced and straight to the point. This might be something not everybody enjoys, but I found it really refreshing and enticing. It centers around a singer named Jake who gets one of his concerts crashed by a man (La Qi) with a gun who tells him to remember the abbreviation "FTI".
What does he want?
What does "FTI" mean?
And why does Jake have the feeling he experienced something similar before?
The series scores with an amazing storyline (I give some extra points for the Matrix reference, which made my nerdy heart very happy), extremely well choreographed and executed fightscenes, great music choices and even greater actors. The lead actor is nothing short of brilliant and would be able to carry a whole movie based on his facial expressions alone. Chapeu! I hope to see more of that one in the future and not only because the guy is drop dead georgous.
The support cast deserves a lot of praise as well. Please forgive me if I won't talk about La Qi too much, but praising the actor without including spoilers is pretty hard, so just trust me on this one. He's great! So is the actor who plays Jakes PA. If there was an Oscar for the best side eyes, he would deserve one. I never related so much to a character in my life!
All in all this series drew me in and entertained me extremely well. It also contains a pretty high rewatch value since a couple of details just hit different once the viewer knows what's coming next and where everything leads to, for example: Why is there only one gun and why does it have an Infinity logo?
I hope to find out in season2!

The Plot Is Plotting Omg
Just finished this series and all I can say is "the potential is there", it's definitely one of those series that will leave you wanting more. I hope the series has many more seasons with diverse more complicated tropes and plot. The lead lead actor is amazing, he delivered and to think he is not Chinese and had to learn the language for this role wow that's genius.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
This series deserves to be full-length
It's so interesting and the plot is so good. I really hope season two has longer episodes. So much could be done with this concept and the acting is really good. I have watched it multiple times It's really a good miniseries.I didnt kniw what a cdrama mini series was until this one and I looked into it apparently they are hugely popular and studios are making serious amounts of money off them. So season two might be happening like the rumors are saying.
