I REALLY loved the world between us! Most of my experiences with Taiwanese dramas have been on the substantially lighter side (family dramas/romance with heavy dosages of comedy), so it was a much-welcome change in pace. And not only does it stand out amongst its own kind- Asian dramas in general hardly ever make you feel uncomfortably aware of the kinds of prejudice their own cultures carry, particularly towards the mentally ill. And when they are represented, those characters are always unreasonably attractive, perhaps to still appeal to a wider audience. What that does, though, is prevent said audience from being able to come to terms with those who actually have mental illnesses in real life and simply look like us. This drama really did a great job of overcoming that obstacle, as well as honing in on that discomfort of the "ugly" truths in society and the underlying issues with our values and our perceptions. It dealt with some really deep topics, such as grief, overcoming trauma, relationships, the way media shapes our perception, etc. And the acting was top-notch!

However, the ending did feel a tad too neat and some of the resolutions too quickly resolved. Although they did show the importance of mental health, I do wish they had shown more of the psychiatric/therapy side of things, especially since it's essentially taboo in our culture. But to be fair these weren't huge issues. I still think this show was really well-done (loved the concept for the opening scenes/title sequence). Highly recommend for anyone craving a fast-paced, thought-provoking story.
