19th Floor Reviews

We came here to watch an endless adventure, to witness the wit and courage in overcoming challenges and solving puzzles. We didn't come here to see how teammates drag each other down.
Moreover, this burden not only fails to decrease as the episodes progress but keeps increasing, which is truly disgusting!

Also, don't label something as "Chinese-style horror" just because it has a Chinese backdrop.
It's not as simple as putting a puppet's skin on a zombie-like enemy and calling it Chinese-style. Please don't confuse the meaning of Chinese-style horror.

First of all, I want to encourage dramas like this. I really hope there will be more interesting and diverse stories in Chinese dramas. It gets tiring to see endless ancient, puppet-like love stories every day.
Talking about this drama itself, the female lead's acting skills are really poor. She just knows how to stare, and coupled with the school setting, it really reminds me of Chu Yuxian. Additionally, the pacing is too slow.
The special effects, on the other hand, are done decently.

The protagonist's good looks match the character design, and the theme is fresh. However, the rigid and deliberately exaggerated close-up shots and facial expressions feel too templated.
The plot is simplistic and monotonous, turning what could have been an intriguing infinite flow concept into something boring. The cliché storyline and dialogue, combined with lackluster acting that feels like a beginner's acting class, result in a complete lack of immersion for the audience.

The storyline of this drama is actually decent, and with careful consideration, it could have turned out to be a good piece. However, the editing and directing made it feel like a group of people filming their graduation project.
The character development feels forced, with the male and female leads being invincible in their daily lives and freely engaging in relationships everywhere. None of them have common sense or logical thinking, making it more and more absurd as I watch.

The acting skills of the actors are extremely poor, especially the female lead. They cast this group of people to play stereotypical characters in a two-dimensional style, and they even want to create some romantic chemistry.
This drama really puts the audience in a difficult position. The plot, characters, and actors are all poorly crafted. It's embarrassing to watch, and they have no shame about it.
It's a pity for the unlimited streaming genre.

The theme is relatively rare, but it's hard to watch. I've noticed that in domestic works related to infinite streaming, whether they are web dramas or animations, there are always some intellectually challenged characters and plots that raise one's blood pressure.
They lack that cruel, tense, and thrilling feeling; it feels like they're filming an escape room... It's more like a well-produced variety show...

Sun Qian's facial muscle trembling when she's scared is impressively controlled. Wei Zhe Ming's consistent glasses style is still handsome. Despite the creative environment and censorship constraints, it's evident that they put in their best efforts.
However, after watching around four or five episodes, the lack of solid storytelling and depth makes it hard to continue with the same level of interest.

The game of challenges is not exciting at all. I'm not worried at all about them not being able to clear the levels. There is chemistry between the male and female leads, and I'm curious about how the relationship between the first and second female leads will develop.
When will the unconscious person wake up? What role will the cafeteria uncle play? I'm really looking forward to the upcoming plot.

Each member of the raid team has their own distinctive traits. According to the game's terminology, Brother Qiang is the tank who can withstand anything, Dou Dou deals the highest damage, Qing You is also striving to become stronger, Gao Xuan provides stable crowd control, Chun Yu initiates battles, and Uncle Lin serves as the support.
The whole team is united and in good order, haha.

For someone who has read countless infinite streaming novels and watched numerous survival-themed films and TV shows, this one barely meets the passing line (and that's considering the standards required for domestic approval). The combination of survival games and infinite streaming is really captivating.
I hope to see more domestic productions with this kind of theme in the future.

I had high expectations for this genre, but the storyline is too weak. The set design is decent, but I don't like the monster designs. They look fake and lack any sense of horror. So the plot is neither thrilling nor intense, it's just bland.

Terrible through and through. The subject matter is unoriginal. The plot, acting, and character development are all disgusting. And there's this inexplicable slow-motion scene in the sixth episode.
I'll try to finish watching it and see if I can give it any points.

I've watched 9 episodes, but I can't bear to continue. It's really dull, with no conflicts or exciting storylines.
The acting is mediocre, and it feels like a juvenile TV drama. The quality is truly low, but they did a decent job creating a sense of horror, so I'll give it two points. Goodbye.

To be honest, it's pretty bad. Everyone seems brainless, babbling and acting in a panicked manner. However, as a viewer, I didn't feel any sense of tension. Instead, I found it stupid and laughable.
This is enough to illustrate the failure of this drama. The plotline creates conflicts out of nowhere, completely defying logic. The characters' motivations are unclear, and it's becoming quite annoying to watch.
I initially wanted to give it one star, but in order to encourage this genre, I'll add an extra star.

I've watched two episodes, and I really like the infinite flow genre. However, this drama has some dumb moments, and I'm not sure if the plot was watered down for censorship purposes.
There's no excitement at all, and I watched it without any emotional ups and downs. I'll continue watching the rest, after all, there are very few shows like this in China.
I hope they can make more of them, with more blood and horror elements, and make it a bit more mind-boggling.

The traditional Chinese style is portrayed beautifully in this drama, and it's quite enjoyable. However, the pacing of the filming and editing is lacking, and the director's skills are not up to par.

Oh, by the way, the male lead in this drama is like a third wheel, constantly exchanging meaningful glances with both the female lead and the second female lead.
His actions even caused the second female lead to turn into a villain. It's infuriating!

The plot is quite childish, and it seems like none of the characters really use their brains. If this were written in a novel, they would definitely be cannon fodder. However, I still hope to see more TV dramas exploring the concept of an infinite loop because when done well, it can be really exciting.
I'll give it an extra star as encouragement. It reminds me of the Death Kaleidoscope; if that were to be adapted, how amazing would it be????????????

I watched it for the theme, but I ended up feeling very disappointed... There were a lot of illogical plot points, inexplicable slow-motion scenes, and awkward attempts to create a romantic atmosphere between the male and female leads.
The storyline and challenge settings were both simplistic and uninteresting. There were just too many strange moments, and the acting skills of the actors were average at best. I gave up on it after 7 episodes.

In the shadow play instance, the character Qiangzi abandons his brothers to save his own life. In the deserted village instance, he continues to put on a brave front despite facing choices. Behind his contradictory words lies a lack of self-confidence and fear of death.
The motivations hidden behind this seemingly insignificant character make him very vivid. I still quite like Qiangzi up until now.

The further the plot progresses, the more garbage it becomes. The character designs are incredibly idiotic. We have a main female lead who hardly speaks, a sickly second female lead, and unlikeable characters like the second sister, senior schoolmate, and Yang Ba Wan.
What on earth is this? The dungeons are too easy, and even the escape room scenarios at least turn off the lights...

The director's pacing is off, the first episode is basically a waste, with unnecessary mystification and no progress in the storyline. Isn't Wei Zhe Ming a professional broadcaster?
Why are his lines delivered in such a mumbled and unclear manner? Without subtitles, it's hard to understand a single sentence. When compared to Sun Qian, her lines are so much better.

The plot is decent, and the premise is interesting, similar to "Alice in Borderland." However, "Alice in Borderland" had elimination rounds where many people would die, which made it more thrilling. This drama is not bad, but the challenges in the game are a bit too simple.
It fails to engage my mind. Nonetheless, I do like both the male and female leads.

I enjoyed watching this drama as it catered to my tastes. The gaming aspect was engaging, requiring players to decipher and understand puzzles, find the key to defeating enemies, and engage in thrilling pursuits.
Throughout each game, the players found their core strengths and became more synchronized and familiar with each other. The handling of this genre was well done.

It's rare to have an unlimited flow storyline, but I usually don't read this type of novel. I liked the beginning when I watched it earlier, so let me see how this drama turns out. For now, I'm not a fan of the being chased and hunted theme, especially the part with the mythical creature.
Although the special effects and decryption are done quite well.

The female lead gives me the impression of being completely unfathomable. I have no idea what she's trying to portray. In the face of certain scenes, she lacks the sense of having experienced them hundreds of times and the feeling of fear and terror doesn't come across at all.
The filming is also poorly done.

As a fan of infinite flow novels, I had high expectations for this drama. Initially, it was decent, especially the first four episodes, which were really satisfying to watch. However, starting from the fourth episode, it became a bit dumb, and I didn't like it as much anymore.

There are too many bugs, the characters are dumbed down, the character development falls flat, and the dialogues are weak. The director's filming has issues and fails to capture the sense of pacing and tension. I'll give an extra star for the genre, but I hope to see better dramas of this type in the future.

The theme is quite innovative, and it could have been a great drama if it had been executed well. However, the entire plot is riddled with logic bugs, and everyone seems to have lost their ability to communicate. They don't explain misunderstandings, even though they clearly know each other in reality.
The romantic storyline is also stiff and boring.
