a glimpse of hope in a "what if?" world
I'm writing this while getting myself together after watching the last episode. I had high expectations for Twelve Letters and I'm glad I did.
I'm not gonna lie to you: it is a painful watch. But it also gives you a sense of warmth, a new perspective of found family amidst the unfairness of the world. It will hurt. But it needs to hurt so you can truly feel like you belong with their lives too, and you'll root for them. And get angry on behalf of them. And feel hope, despair and happiness with them.
The actors did such a great job, all of them. No one felt lacking. And you can see in the way they portrayed their characters that they truly care for the story they're bringing to life – and that's something you get from the whole production crew as well. Everyone involved in Twelve Letters clearly cared for it, loved it, respected it.
Ye Haitang, Tang Yixun... you always deserved a kinder world and I hope you're having one now.
