This is an analysis more than a review and you don’t have to agree with it no big.
I'm not referring to the rating. I think I'm most shocked that you think she is a narcissist. I didn't get that vibe from her at all. She cared a lot about the people around her, she even protected them intensely.
Why the rating of this drama here is so high? It may be overrated. I watched half of the drama and it’s not…
The Double is only good if you like revenge dramas with minimal romance. While they did a great job with the revenge part, I did think it took too long to resolve the Jiang family revenge arc, and there wasn't enough time for anything else to really develop. The ending is disappointing too, so if you already don't like the first half, you likely won't enjoy the second half. I do agree the overall rating of this drama is too high too... for me, it def doesn't beat SOKP or LOSL.
I recommend watching The Princess Royal, it's very good and has helped me move on!
For me, The Double was a strong 10 until the last few episodes. Then it went down to a 9 for me. As for The Princess Royal, while I agree it's not as intense and addictive as The Double, the story becomes more interesting as the episodes continue on. We'll see if The Princess Royal finishes strong or if it'll also lose quality at the end just like The Double...
I didn't read the novel. Based on watching the first 6 eps, I wonder if SRQ only pretended to care for LR in the first timeline and never fell for her, but in the current timeline he will actually truly fall for her? Hmmmm.....
Lol so you have to rate it super low just to counter it? It's ok, no matter how much you hate this drama, there will be even more ppl who sincerely love it.
