It's simply a must watch!
To think that I only checked this drama out as I wanted to try an older Taiwanese drama, and it's now become one of my favourite dramas of all time is really all you need to know about this masterpiece.
It gives me one of the best feelings in the world: nostalgia mixed with pure joy and happiness (this is the first time watching this drama, but I'm sure you've all experienced that feeling when watching something you love for the first time, it makes you feel like a kid with no worries (well, it does for me anyway)).
The story was just the perfect amount of complexity, the plot-twists were genuinely sensational, perhaps some of the best I've ever witnessed in television history, the characters each had their own deep-built personalities and motives which really helped the world-building aspect of the drama (perfectly acted by the way). Sure, by the end of the drama, the last perhaps three or four episodes dived into the 'overly far-fetched' shtick, but it was done in a great, amazing, entertaining way, instead of a 'this drama has now lost the plot so it's decided to become transformers or fast and furious' way.
As previously mentioned, the entire cast played their role perfectly and I think everyone acted perfectly throughout. It's made me want to research the entire cast so I can watch them in different dramas, and considering this was made in 2009, I have many awesome years to catch up on! The OST is also very catchy, and I love the different versions of the same song, and I loved how different versions were played at different times to set the mood of the scene.
I could honestly write a multiple thousand word essay on how much I enjoyed this drama. I may honestly end up doing so, although I won't put you through the task of having to read that here - it may crash your computer! What I will say however is that I highly recommend you to watch this masterpiece.
Black & White has changed my life forever, in such a positive way. Thank you.
