Unlike most time travel dramas which assume a ripple in the past will change nearly everything in the future, Alice takes a more intriguing multiverse dynamic to spin its story. It would seem that you can be alive and dead in different realities that appear to be the same reality. Perhaps I haven't explained this well and truth be told, I've only seen 3 episodes but I am completely hooked. The characters are richly drawn and well-acted and the implausible premise become plausible thanks to fine writing. Kim Hee-Sun is predictably superb as the main time traveler but the complexity of her relationship with her son (in one reality) who suffers from an inability to feel emotions makes for some very dramatic moments. The chemistry with her son, well played by Jee Won and their quest to understand the truth that surrounds them is powerful. I'm not a binge watcher, so it will be a few weeks till I finish Alice but it is taking me on a very promising journey.
