Watch for yourself and then decide

I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to do so after reading all the negative feedback and criticism on this Series. I hesitated watching this drama because of all the reviews. They were so in your face, with all these screaming negative headlines, I was practically forced to read them. However, I should have kept my usual stance, which is never to judge something based on reviews. Peoples opinons are subjective and based on whether they liked something or not. In fact I don't read reviews before watching. I read them after.

Back to the drama, I totally and thoroughly enjoyed this drama. I watched in two sittings and it would have been one sitting had it not been that I still had to work the next day. Within the first episode, and probably 20 minutes into it, I had to stop and rewind. I was riveted.

I get why there was so much negativity and criticism. People simply did not understand the storyline. If you did not fully grasp and understand the two worlds within the first episode, you were never going to understand the drama. You needed to be awake from Episode 1, to realise each time we switched worlds. But because people were not, they got lost in Episode 1 and stayed lost for the entire 16 episodes. The result of that was all the negativity around this drama. You were all expecting A, but you got B instead, and you simply couldn't handle it.

Did the viewers really expect to be told each time we switched worlds? It was pretty obvious which world we were in.

So from an overseas viewer, on the African continent, reliant on english subtitles, this was a great drama. Totally enjoyable and not the usual. Being an avid Korean drama, and Chinese, and Taiwan, and Thailand drama fan, I have watched some really lucklustre drama, where I have fast forwarded through most of it just to get to the end.
