Life on Mars Episode 8

Five Stars

what the fckkkkk is that mind fuckery?!holy sh*t. even i feel like tripping watching this drama LOL, can't imagine being Han Tae Joo who's relinquishing all those painful childhood memories again deep from his subconsciousness.i can relate to comments comparing this drama to Tunnel. i definitely liked Tunnel a lot more because the chase on the serial killer 30 years into the future is a very gripping theme permeating every aspect of the story. and i feel like they very successfully maintained the intensity of the chase from start to end.but here, the chase is more subdued/working in the background (yet again, very well-paced) and psychological (in a way, the story rather goes in spirals instead of moving forward smoothly) and it kinda DRIVES YOU CRAZY AND MESSES UP YOUR MIND REAL BAD the same way it did Han Tae Joo's. i was definitely not particularly fond of the retro style with the back time travel (that's why this is my third time starting this), but the very skilled screenwriting literally flipped me and won me over, LOL! it's pulling me in a very strange way, and it drives me nuts LMAO.this is a highly skilled writer (more so, of the original) who's fully in control or in-tune of the story/narrative that he's trying to tell/pursue and the last 8 episodes have been pretty mind-blowing.honestly, a story this complex can easily be messed up from the execution point of view and the director here is really doing his job amazingly.i can't wait to see what the next 8 episodes will bring!
