Don’t believe the hype
The good: The concept of twins switching roles when one gets burned out. The evolution of the friendship between the ML’s and FL’s mothers and their discovery of their common past experiences. The first few episodes that establish the differences between the twins over the years.
The bad: the twins are not consistently portrayed by PBY (whose work I usually love) and they each become whiny cowards until the last episode. Mi-Rae’s love interest-what in the world? And 1000 fragments of the story that just don’t make logical sense. Why does the ML have burn scars? What was Mi-Rae’s childhood illness and how did it disappear? Why is the ML losing his hearing in his healthy ear if his hearing loss was caused in an accident? There are so many whys and what did I just see.
What started as an intelligent, compelling drama descended into mediocrity and disappointment for me.
