My chaotic jumble of thoughts on “Not Me”
This drama hooked me from minute one and what can I say? I loved it.
After his estranged twin brother Black is badly hurt in a fight, White impersonates him to seek revenge and is thereupon thrust into a life that is very different from his own. By joining Black’s gang in their fight for freedom, human rights and equality, White is imminently pushed outside his comfort zone and begins to question the life he led before.
The plot of “Not Me” was beautifully executed and the suspense kept me glued to the screen.
Sean and White’s relationship was very sweet and I liked the way everything was resolved in the end. There wasn’t too much drama. Black’s friends Gram and Yok had their own little stories to tell as well, which proves how carefully the characters were crafted and thought through. Everyone was given an adequate amount of screen time.
For me personally, Black and White’s relationship was one of the most heartwarming. I would have loved to see more of their story, especially on Black’s side. Even though they were torn apart when they were children, their connection still prevailed, leading them back together eventually.
Speaking of which, one thing that completely blew me off my feet was Gun‘s acting, considering that he impersonated both Black and White. He acted out the contrast between the two brothers with lots of care, highlighting their differences as well as their similarities.
But not only Gun, the entire cast and crew did an amazing job at bringing the show to life.
The cinematography, acting and directing was on spot. I really liked the soundtrack as well. I can’t count how many times I shazammed the background tracks.
One of the messages I got out of this drama was how important it is to raise your voice against inequality, in whatever form it may appear. It might seem as though you’re alone in the fight, but once you are courageous enough to act, it will prove how many people are willing to fight along with you.
All it takes is for someone to take the first step, and the difficulties and risks that come along with that are clearly depicted as the characters in this story push forward.
Topics like this are still relevant and undeniably present in todays society, making the drama all the more valuable and important.
