Touched my soul

First let's discuss about the name of the
drama. The world between us is a
poorly translated name. The good
translation of the name is " the
difference between us and evil" and I
think that is such a thoughtful name cuz
it really suits the drama. The drama
indirectly talks about how we should

not give in to our evil side. Every one
has a evil side and a good side and that
we should listen to to the good side not
like the killer two years ago, who gave
in to his bad side and chased so many
problems. The drama is like
contradicting the difference between

the murderer and his victims and how a
lot of murderer are themselves victims
and how many people become the
victims of social media and media. It's
just a great representation of that and
the name suits so much. You'd
understand if you watch the drama.

Also did I mention that I love this drama?
Like really really love it! Lol ok so on a
serious note, as I mentioned before this
drama is a serious one. Like really
serious one. It doesn’t have any kind of
romance so if you want one please
watch something else. This drama is
about the lives of the victim and their

families and murderer’s family and the
struggles they have to face, the
struggles people with mental illness
have to face, how the media shows only
bad things about mentally ill people and
a very important question; should we
forgive a killer just because he has
mental illness?

The drama shows how hard it is to live
in Taiwan if your son is a killer. I just
don’t understand. What is their fault if
their kid became a killer? What is their
fault if their kid was mentally ill? They
didn’t wanted him to be a killer! As the
mother said in the drama “no parent
would raise their child for 20 years just

to make him a killer”. I know that
parents are supposed to teach their
kids manners and all but I don’t think
its their fault that their child chose to
be a killer. They raised him like a
normal child so why do they have to
face all the hate that they get from the
media, the people and the victim’s

family. I can understand that the
victim families resent them but why
do people bully them and make it for
them to live? Like its so unfair and the
worst part about it is this happens in
real life too. I can’t say about every
country or every case but this has had
happened in real life too and its sick
how people blame the parents if the

child did something wrong. I am really
glad that the drama decided to show
us their feelings, their emotions, how
they never ever wanted their child to be
like this and how much regret they
have. Every day they try to over-analyze
and wonder what they did wrong in

raising their child and what they should
have done. The sister too wonders how
her brother was just like a normal kid
at first and how he changed after that
and how she could’ve stopped him
from doing such a sin. All those
feelings they showed us. It made me
cry so like prepare your tissues lol

The other thing they is show how much
pain a mother feels when she loose her
child, the regret, the resentment and
the sorrow. The pain of not being able
to let go of the past. The drama shows
her emotions very well.

Another thing the drama showed which
is major thing this drama is the life
about mentally ill people and how hard
it is for them to live in this society.
Especially because the media portrays
them us killer and us public simply
believes them and starts to hate on
them but the truth us far away from

that. Not every mentally ill person is a
killer. According to me and this drama
they are strong and brave people who
are able to live even though it is so
hard. They are truly inspiring and yet
media label them as bad people. The
drama talked about this issue in detail.

As how if media stops making them
the villain then it would probably be
nice and that if the government and us
people try to understand them how
better the world would become. How
we should try to understand them cuz
they deserve it guys… they truly do.

This is one of the few drama I’ve seen
that has shown mental illness and
schizophornia so correctly. For the
people who don’t know what
schizophornia is, let me explain.
Schizophornia is of different types and
people with this disease has split mind
and can't differentiate between the

reality and the imagination inside their
head. In simple language, the people
who have schizophornia hears voices
inside their head that aren’t real and
often times they tell them bad things
like “you are useless” and “ you should
die”etc etc… they get hallucinations too
so a lot of people think that they are

talking to ghosts which isn’t true. It is
hard to explain the disease through
words but the disease is really scary.
You can click Here to get more
information, I got it from here too.

So I hope you have the slightest idea of
how scary schizophornia is and the
chances of getting cured are very less.
Wang she in the drama really explained
it well ( no wonder he is my twin lol )
but I don’t wanna spoil it for you guys
so watch it for yourself. The drama
represented the disease so well.
Honestly the drama is a whole package

of things I wanted the world, normal
people to know. Most of the normal
people treat mentally ill people like
trash and gets scared of them. The
drama in depth explains how they
should be treated by us and how mental
illness shouldn’t be a taboo it is,
specially in asia.

Now the last question
: should we forgive a killer just
because he/ she is mentally ill?

Personally, I think no. no matter what the
situation is I think a crime is a crime
and he/she should not be forgiven no
matter what but… as wang she in the
drama said, giving punishment or
putting a mentally ill person in jail is
useless. A jail is a place for people who
have done crimes, it’s a place to make

them a better person but how just how
can a mentally ill person become better
when he/she doesn’t even realizes they
have done a crime! Their life would be
the same inside/outside the prison. The
main difference is that if they received
better treatment, they can be cured,
once they are cured put them in jail! No

objection from me and wang she but
like putting a sick person in jail is just
pointless. Of course that is entirely my
opinion and we can have different
opinions. As in the drama, song quoa
an said in the drama “ I wanna forgive

you but I can’t, I just can’t, I am so sorry
I am not that noble” yep that’s me. So
the answer is that a killer shouldn’t be
forgiven no matter what. ( that's my and
only my opinion )

Overall the drama is one of the best I’ve
seen. Yes its depressing but please do
watch it cuz the life lesson it gives are
amazing. I love this drama 10000!!!
