"Maybe somewhere there is parallel world where we exist but living with different fate !!'

"Train" is one of those dramas that I failed to understand why it was so underrated in tv ,seriously cause it 's such .great thrilling mystery sci-fic crime kdramas and one of the best that I watched this year ..
1-STORYLINE : big clap to writer what amazing story,we have those first EPs (1-3) that may look little slow and confusing especially for those who are not fan of mystery crime genre but for me it was needed to introduce the main plot characters ,to set questions such as" what is happening ?who is the the real serial killer? how it's possible that peoples who were killed their death bodies was found are alive and the ones who normally are alive are not?!!! from ep 4-5 you will find. Yourself in roller coaster  ride very well intrigued ,crafted twisted and intense ,when you though you're finally getting the clear answer than boom you will get surprise .that you were wrong ..especially the end each eps that will leave you hooked impatient to watch next one
-in other hand despite the crime investing plot the drama address life questions "What if?!!. .what if I did this not that.!.is result in end gone be different... Better... Worst.?! we really have hand in choosing our fate or no matter what nothing can change destiny?!"It tell How our every decisions,Choices,reactions,.actions,belief Can affect our path conditions nd life experience to build who we are and who we will become ..not just us but it affects also the peoples that we know and interact with..directly or indirectly
-Everything was well connected ,executed ,. We don't find a lot of those illogical irrelevant things.. Nothing was off the track cause coming to the concept of The parallel world we don't have a lot of Asian series that are satisfying or manage to let viewer enjoying nd understand everything easily clearly (for exp TKEM didn't work at all for me) but here ocn didn't disappointed us..
2-ACTING/ CHARACTERS:Yoon Si-Yoon in past I only watched him in drama"mirror of the witch " he was OK. But here it like new revelation for me ,giving justice to character is something then playing double role nd doing well is better.,but it's other level challenge to play character with duality in same drama ,cause in case of this drama you need to convince the audience that you're in reality same person but existing in two world dimension with different life experiences , you have to let them watch similarities and differences in both version of yourself .YSY did it brilliantly,his nuanced portrayal whether layered with rage or tears emphasized his commitment to bring out the best of him.I truly lived character with him and felt his every emotions during drama (his dilemma..pain.. Scars. Determination...frustration.. His hope....wishes..) I loved him esp in emotional broken.. Intense anger scenes... Even if we get few occasions to see it I must sa y he had also cute adorable smile ,my only complaint . Why i rated 09 is we mainly see "Do Won from A world" his story doing all the investing while I wanted more about "Do Won from B world "that lost broken one , I was waiting to see both versions from himself working together by travelling switching between 2 world ,solving the case ,fl lead Seo kyung aka Kyung Soo jin did great job although I think. her character esp in world B version needed to be more stronger ...other cast were nice too especially unfortunately since it was just 12 ep we couldn't see a lot of them as character nd their stories esp investigators team work ...
3-PH:nothing to say production cinematography was superb and high quality ,even if all events were in the same (palaces.,time..scenes..set ) but the Editing ,visual colors help us in distinguishing between world A nd B giving each one his different dark vibs connected with what happened in two parallel worlds
4-Music +ost were very good to create the exact atmosphere, making us in mode of each scene ( dark...emotional ..thrilling.. .ext) esp those instruments in all suspense and revelation scene "I will never" is personally my fav one .
-OVERALLY : I won't say it prefect wawoo drama ..and it probably not everyone cup of tea,but it definitively well written consistent trilling story ,worth to watch even for the ones who are not fan of this genre should give try
