Hi, Little Love Bird! It's great that you like this type of article! It's amazing how cdramas can be so rich! If you want, you can suggest other themes! Thank you for reading and liking the article!
Thanks for this great article. The Double is one of the few series I scored 10 here on MDL. The production was…
Hi, my friend Darkstar! I remember you very well, your vibrational interaction, you always bringing contributions with your excellent comments. It's good to talk to you again. After The Double ended, many of that group maintained ties with the series, continued interacting with the new ones who were arriving. It's incredible how The Double impacted everyone. As you rightly point out, the production and actors reached Nirvana! The cultural treasures present at The Double do not seem to be exhausted, it is a continuous archeology. I think it is difficult to appear something so qualified for now, there is not a single loose end, the aesthetic construction invested in the lyrical strength of the images, like the scenes in Jiang Li, after death, in radiant white, evaporating into a fine mist, representing chastity, and the pear trees and petals reinforcing this ethereal purity. The Double's color palette created a multitude of atmospheres, from the dark to the most luminescent and vaporous, as well as frames that simulated the intimate stage of a small theater, such as the scenes in Wanning's room with Shen Yu Rong. As you highlight, a stunning soundtrack that enhances our sensory experience. I hope to continue exchanging insights with you, it's always a great moment, whether here, on The Double's page, or in an upcoming production that will leave us astonished with Beauty!
Hi, Tpatricio93! Thank you very much for reading the article! Yeah! The Double deserves top marks in all aspects.…
Contemporary artistic conceptions can drink from any source; innovation, in this sense, brings genius aesthetic experiences. Below is a link so you can read about modern Chinese theater and the many adaptations of Shakespeare's plays, from the point of view of Chinese culture, that is, you will not see European standards, but adaptations that use peculiar elements of Chinese culture. Take a look!👇
Hi, Miura Yaa! Thank you very much for your comment! I feel special joy in seeing you motivated to watch the masterpiece…
Hi, Miura! Great news, you're already watching The Double! It will be a remarkable experience for you, especially since you are in the arts, it will certainly give you an advantage. I'm glad you liked the suggestions! Most people who watched The Double went through two processes. As soon as the series ended, the first challenge was abstinence... The second was to feel enchanted again by another series, at least in the same pattern. Nobody was enchanted by anything else. But there is a large group of "Doublets" (I'm together...) who were involved in the series Kill me Love me, which has Wu Jin Yan as the main FM (actress who plays Xue Fang Fei/Jiang Li in The Double). She is spectacular in the role, impeccable in martial arts. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on The Double. See you soon, Miura!
Hi, dear friend Hikikomori, what a joy to see you here! Thank you very much for your comment, I know your knowledge…
There are so many treasures, and note that there are no loose ends, it's an architecture where everything serves a purpose. Yes, I'll love writing about this subtlety! The Double is an archeology exercise... And I thought we had already exhausted the discoveries...
I just started watching more Chinese dramas and I just finished The Untamed and I have been wanting to watch another.…
Hi, Miura Yaa! Thank you very much for your comment! I feel special joy in seeing you motivated to watch the masterpiece The Double. You did the right thing by not reading, come back here after you finish and share your perceptions. I'm just going to give some directions that have nothing to do with spoilers and that will increase the enjoyment of the series and its aesthetic beauty. Read something about Chinese Opera, the beginnings of theater in China, Chinese adaptations of Shakespeare's tragedies, scroll paintings (which open horizontally with landscapes "full" of voids to be populated by our imagination and in which people/objects appear on a distant plane, seen from above, like the many scenes from The Double), the important symbols for China (colors, fans, rites, white horse, jade pendants, plum tree, pear tree). And call me here whenever you want if you want to comment on something. I'm always on The Double's comments page: my heart was lost there...
The Double is pure art!!!This is why I watch c-dramas, they always have cultural elements, beautiful scenes and…
Hi Drama_Queen, thank you very much for your comment. I feel like you, cdramas are a precious opportunity to become familiar with the deep and delicate universe of ancient Chinese art. Even the simplest production leaves a legacy of knowledge, as musical instruments, paintings, historical facts, customs, rites and philosophy are always present.
thank you so much for taking the time to articulate the sheer quantity and quality of the arts in this drama.…
Hi, Nokdu Flower! Thank you very much for your comment! I really appreciated it! You touch on a very sensitive point for me, music, since I am a musician (pianist, lyrical singer, flutist) as well as a pedagogue (I'm a teacher of music history, art history, as well as specific subjects related to learning musical instruments and singing). The Chinese/Asian historical series offer a very peculiar sensory enjoyment, as they present a menu of artistic languages and a very rich history. Even the simplest productions leave a legacy, as musical instruments, quotes from poets, such as Li Bai, references to paintings and painters always appear. I am Western, and I feel immensely about everything that is lost in translations, often they are grotesque errors. I started studying Mandarin on my own, out of love for Chinese art, because of the enchantment this language gives me. I can already identify small phrases, I already know a lot of words. It's as important to know the art and gastronomy of a people as it's their language to better understand their soul. I can already identify small phrases, I already know a lot of words. Language involves musical elements, such as musicality and rhythm. Learning a language is, therefore, like listening to music, with its sounds, rhythm and musicality. I agree with you that an immense opportunity is lost when the native culture of a country is not inoculated in the series, in its many expressions, especially music, an art that is inseparable not only from our lives, whether as a hobby or in rites (wedding , birthdays, funerals, etc.) but of film production. The possibility for an ordinary person to come into contact with the roots of other cultures promotes closer ties between peoples and a better understanding of the soul and customs of each people. Basic knowledge of artistic languages and their history, which may be present in the series, will increase the enjoyment of this cultural asset, expanding the pleasure of the visual and acoustic sense. I immensely like Liu Yu Ning, a wonderful presence as a singer, performer, composer, actor, I love the OST for The Legend of Zhuohua, but the soundtrack for The Double for me, so far, is of greater beauty. Tell me what series you've watched and from now on I'll tell you other aesthetic experiences. I'll talk to you again here on this trend! Thank you very much once again!
Wowee. Thank you. I have to stop and digest after the equivalent of about a page, but this is so useful to me…
Hi, Ibis Feather! Thank you very much for delving deeper into your comment. As you may have noticed in my responses to each comment, I dedicate myself to expanding the themes that each one proposes. Your comment is precious, I want to respond appropriately. Right now I'm a little busy and I don't want to respond to you in a superficial and protocol way. I'll come back here later to continue this qualified conversation! Thank you very much, once again, for your valuable comment.
I dont recall seeing Wu Jin Yan in gongfu shows and i loved her charismatic and suave moves here🥰🤩awesomely…
She's amazing!!! This lightness of hers is well-founded. Before investing in her acting career, she was a ballet dancer, but she broke her foot 3 times and decided to pursue her acting career, luckily for us. She brilliantly combined ballet with martial arts.
Have you ever regretted breaking up with a boyfriend? I've had it... I think that's what "A'Mei" felt when she…
She is seen several times in BTS directing scenes. @TaliaToo can provide more information. Be that as it may, the MLs in the series are not very energetic men, to say the least...

😅 No, you're not asking too much, it's a consensus. I expect to see a manly attitude, but what I'm seeing is a hesitant man. It's cruel to do this to LXY. I hope for a twist in the story, otherwise this directress will be killing MJH, just like she destroyed LM.
