Review: The World Between Us (我們與惡的距離) (2019)

I am only slightly kidding when I say this may be the best Asian drama I have ever watched. Of course, it’s impossible to compare this 10 episode contemporary drama to, say, a 60 episode historical romance drama. But The World Between Us is a drama where I can find little to no fault in every aspect. The acting and production quality are good, and the story and writing are SPECTACULAR.

I would highly recommend this drama to everybody, but just be warned that I was crying nearly every episode for the first half of this drama, because the conflicts are heart-wrenching. This is a drama about a terrorist attack, but the focus is not on the act of terrorism, but the people who are left in the aftermath. The story is handled with lots of care, and I would recommend people only to watch it when they are in the mood to watch something serious.

As I was watching this drama, I had made commentary posts for each episode. I have linked them here (Ep 1) (Ep 2) (Ep 3) (Ep 4) (Ep 5) (Ep 6) (Ep 7) (Ep 8) (Ep 9) (Ep 10)

Super messy write up ahead! And spoilers!
