So the pacing for C-drama The Double has been quite an art itself, very measured yet brisk. Hard to explain other than the drama moves along on a nice beat with enough action and exposition coupled with pauses for artistic flourish. So it’s been wild seeing the last four episodes which dropped this weekend to end the drama unfold like a wildebeest stampede, but luckily the plot did not fall off a cliff. It just packed what should be about 8 episodes worth of plot into 4 and didn’t provide a lot of breathing room to take in what was happening before the next big moment. Leads Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue‘s characters got their earned revenge on the baddies and happy ending but also got their thunder stolen by the two most insane antagonists – Princess Wanning who took “I was massively abused wronged so I can do WTF I like” to new levels and ex-husband Shen Yu Rong who managed to be both loathsome and self-flagellating. The acting was solid from all the four leads but the two antagonists definitely were more memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama from beginning to end and will miss waking up to new episodes with excitement.
