The World Between Us

Reflect the news via different perspectives, very compelling.

The best Taiwanese drama ever. It reflects the reality. We always ask why, but not everything has an answer. When things happened without a reason, this drama brings up the most important message, let it go, forgive others is to give yourself a chance to breathe again.

If a psychopath hurt someone you love deeply, what would you think is the fairest way to do to this psychopath? What if you were not the victim, but a family member of him or her? Is it fair that we simply put a psychopath in jail or sentence him or her to death as long as they committed a crime? What's the point of doing this to a person who has difficulty understanding what's real and what's not? To prevent them from hurting us? All men are created equal. Most of us are healthy with right mind, and have more ability to help those who are suffering from psychosis. However, would it be better if we send a psychopath to jail after he got cured? Last but not the least, how do you define good people and bad people? Is there any "right" answer?

The drama truly reflects the contradiction of society issues that we may have to face in our life. The point that the drama is aim to tell us is how to prevent the problem, not just finish the problem. And the influence of media(news manufacture) is big part of it.

The story start with a defending attorney of a killer who shoot 9 people and take away their lifes. Same as most people reaction, I question why he defend such a monster ? The new media coverage nowadays many are twisted, partially true and we live in a society like give labeling to others. In the drama, one of the actor suffered from early psychosis but he is finger point as did something devil in his previous life. You may think of how come those people can say such a mean thing? But think of yourself, have you ever never doing bad things to others and never give label to whom around you? The society is full of sickness. Committed a crime is equal to devil and unforgivable. Did we ever think of the reason behind? Mental illness patients might be less if we venture more care and love to whom around us. From this drama, it dawned on me and change my perspective on many things in life. Not only the meaning behind, the drama is very moving and great act for those actor/ress. My eye dried out after each episode. It is one of the best TV drama I have ever watched.
