I am glad I didn't pay attention to the rating of this drama. Regardless of the private life of one of the actresses I judge only the show and it is a fantastic series. An 8 at least. I am really impressed by the acting overall and ended up watching the real fight on YouTube and amazed how great they recreated it.
I couldn't stop sobbing. It was a lot for my tender heart💔😫😭
I just finished it and I saw your comment before and so braced myself for what it could be but I didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did, I cried too! :(
Is Netflix a fan Kimura -San?!? Haha a lot of his dramas have been added to Netflix UK at least. I ain't complaining I get to watch some old ones in HD!
Hi, Miura Yaa! Your words give me great joy, because sharing Beauty and Poetry is the greatest meaning of life.…
Thank you so much for your recommendation! I will definitely check them out. I read your article now and I blown away about the details embedded in this beautiful artistic drama let alone the amazing story. Watching the series was aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but reading the background to these art forms (including the links to non-Asian elements) has allowed me to appreciate the work the creatives of The Double have made even more. It makes me want to rewatch again and I will.

Well I just finished it and I had to tell you because I did. What a roller coaster; an amazing drama. I need time to digest everything but. I am glad I decided to give it a go when I saw your article. Thank you for the inspiration! :DI will read it but in the mean time if you have time please can you give me any recs of Chinese dramas. I am impressed! Haha
Hi, Miura Yaa! Thank you very much for your comment! I feel special joy in seeing you motivated to watch the masterpiece…
Just coming back to tell you that I am already on ep 15! I am hooked. I have to stop myself from binge watching because of work. Lol If I was off I would have finished this before the week is out :LOL. But hey taking my time with it is actually allowing to digest the story a bit more. Anyway I am loving it!

Wow thank you for the recommendations. I’m actually in the arts so your suggestions are right up my alley- I will check it out and I’m already on ep 3! Haha I will come back to your article for sure when I finish it! :D
I just started watching more Chinese dramas and I just finished The Untamed and I have been wanting to watch another. The Double has been popping up but I wasn't sure and forgot about it while still thinking of my next Chinese drama but this article came up so I will take this as a sign to start. I have not the read the article because of potential spoilers but excited by your enthusiasm! ;)
Its not far fetched though. Plenty of movies or shows are shelved for years because they can't get a buyer at…
Yup well aware of many films being shelved or never seen the front of a camera lens - I know from personal experience.
BUT- In other words exactly what I said- everyone inspires everyone. When I used the word produce I did not necessarily mean as a film production or going into production - using it in the pure sense of 'creation'. We will never know the true story- I am just saying to ME that argument is weak. That's it
Look, everyone inspires everyone- the first we can say could be Battle Royale in this type of genre of films. However I have to say that the argument that Squid Games was being produced in 2009 against As the Gods Will is quite weak. In that logic then we could just easily say that well As the God’s Will came out in 2011 as a manga and then the film came out in 2014 who’s to say that he still did take ideas from the manga/film because Squid Games came 10 years later. *Shrugs*
Finally got round to watching this legendary Taiga and I'm really enjoying it. Watanabe Ken is so commanding on screen- I'm not sure if this is the role that catapulted him into mega stardom but if it is I am not surprised. Also a nod to Katsu Shintaro and his portrayal of Hideyoshi. I have watched quite a few Taiga Dramas about the Sengoku period but Katsu's Hideyoshi is the most powerful and actually scariest one I have seen yet. Also loved Iwashita Shima perfomance - also captivating.
Good drama but It could have easily stopped at ep14. The extra two episodes were not necessary. In fact cut out a lot of the back story of the two in the beginning of the series and it could help the pace of the story better. Overall an okay series.
