Fragmentos de ella

Shards of Her was an intense thrill ride and keeps you gripped. Episode one sets it up, but the spike starts at episode two and beyond. I enjoyed the acting from these well known Taiwanese actress/actors. The mystery is so thick you can cut it with a knife. The cinematography is well done and the sets representative of the time period.

Despite these elements, I did find the last segments a bit draggy and frustrating that no one is communicating properly. I found it quite irriating waiting for the secret to be revealed (although the secret is becoming more obvious as each moment passes).

Good thriller/drama.

Despite starting with a first episode that could have been better, the series progresses incredibly well. Manages to deal with delicate and deep subjects presenting different points of view, which demonstrates the incredible work of building characters and the script. Uses symbolism that works well until the last minute of the series. It was a great surprise to watch until the end. However, it is important to understand that it is not a series that simply tells a story. But a work that makes you think ans reflect. Especially the relevance that psychological trauma can bring to a person's life, as well as the importance of having a base of support among your family and friends.

I couldn't even finish the 1st episode and decided to drop it right away. I have read the three critics' reviews. One is absolutely terrible, didn't say anything. Another blindly praised it without any merit. Only the 3rd one gave a more realistic review and gave it a barely watchable rating.

How could such a sharp, cool, very capable and talented headhunter woman would be so helpless and victimized by a thug-like guy, to be harassed on the day 1 he show up in the company she works? The crazy guy is a completely, illogically arranged to serve the purpose for the drama series, a psychopath from America and his only goal is to harass this No.1 moneymaker of the headhunt company? Taiwan is such a small island and yet it seems to give the viewers that Taipei is a metropolitan mega city with lot of international big companies, so the headhunting business is so booming and so profitable. Give me a break!

A series where the plot is like a parallel world. Play with the heroine's lost memories. And came into existence in the new world The story progresses through the drama of the lives and wounds of the characters that gradually fade away. Revealing the past Expose social problems that primarily affect women. The mystery theme mixed with murder investigations helps to make the story more interesting. Before being tied together to answer the truth well Even if it's overly exaggerated enough (But it's acceptable) is another quality series of Taiwan where the writing skill is not falling at all. If anyone has always liked the Taiwanese series of Netflix, you can watch it.

Before I watched this Shards of Her, I watched Pieces of Her. Very similar title, and gave a similar feeling. The thing about finding pieces is it is can be very boring. :)

This can be said about this title (and the similar title above). The series can be very slow and boring, and up to the mid, we are guessing about the direction of this series. Up to the first two or three, I was not even sure what it was about: time travel, schizo, parallel universe, or what.

But to the mid, I began to get it, especially after that scene about that pretty boy in the office. This series is about sexual harassment, which was presented very well. It is then beginning to feel like a documentary, which I quite like. It even tells a bit of why the predators did what they did.

I think the most powerful episode was the last one.

And, I have not watched Taiwanese production since Meteor Garden, so not familiar with the casts, but I think the best performance was not delivered by the main woman, but that other female victim. Somehow, I thought the series could be better if she was the main cast, but I understand her age would not fit the narrative of the story. Still, she is acted the best, and also looks the best.

Anyway, now you know what this series is about, it is up to you if this is your cup or not. Again, the reason I am writing this is to applaud the series effort to deliver message about abuse, which happens daily in our world.
