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.
