Drama recommendation : The World Between Us

Synopsis (mydramalist) : ” “The World Between Us” is a 10-part, hour-long series that follows the aftermath of a mass shooting where the fates of all parties involved – the killer, the victims, the victims’ families, the media and the defence teams are intertwined. ”

I’ve just finished this drama and I am so glad that I watched it thanks to AvenueX’s video (it spoils the ep1 and the storyline in general but you’ll see if you want to watch it or not). Her drama review describes so well the drama, I don’t have much to add.

I’ve watched 1ep/day and it was the perfect pace for me. I couldn’t binge watch this drama but I couldn’t help following those characters.
It reminded me of ‘Just between lovers’ because of the trauma background obviously but also because of its quality. It’s not an easy watch and felt like a documentary sometimes because it was so raw, real and touching.

Some time ago a Beanie asked what our favorite dramas were and I said that out of all dramas I’ve watched (even though I have several dramas with 10/10 mark), there were two above : ‘Misaeng’ and ‘Dear my friends’ because it was not a show anymore, it was about life. Well, I’m adding ‘The World Between Us’ up there too.

      Great review! I initially watched the first two episodes when they came out but couldn’t find the rest wasn’t available in my region and subs weren’t up on illegal platforms. Thanks for the reminder, I will check it out (Chris Wu is in it too!).

      Thank you for the tag @kudoran! I’m currently in a slump (reason as well why I was not on DB for almost a month, sigh) and I am not watching anything right now. I will check it out once this slump is over. Soon hopefully! Thank you again for the recs & I’ll let know what I think of the show when I watch it. ^^

        glad to see you back even if it’s just a quick lurking 🙂
        I’m kinda in a slump too, K-drama don’t attract me a lot right now, I’m glad C-drama (or here T-drama) have been a new flavor in my drama watching ^^ , variety shows also help as usual ^^ .

        ‘The World Between Us’ has a slice-of-life tone, so maybe it’ll be ok even in a slump, however it’s so good that it’d be great to see when you’re in the mood for it ^^

        Hoping you have other hobbies to fill the drama hole ^^

          Still in a slump! ☹️

          I am into reading nowadays & haven’t watched a thing since last month. I’m planning on watching Xu Kai’s new show because he’s so pretty. And hopefully start The World Between Us after.

        I have not watched TW dramas in a while. I love that the 3 C, TW and K have their unique flavor and style.

          It’s true that it has been a few years I hadn’t watched a TW drama ^^’ .
          Falling into K-drama hole all those years -_- , maybe for 2020’s resolution : I’ll try to return to J-dramaland too ^^ , let’s have some balanced watching diet : C, Jp, K and Tw on a rotation x)
