Direction and editing not good, but drama is still awesome.
Reason I am giving it a 10: The drama is not afraid to do weird things, it is aware of it's absurdity but under context, it is understandable. The plotting is something usually seen in comedies, but this is a serious drama and I applaud the bravery of the production to embrace the weirdness. From the first episode, I was already hooked.The editing and scenes feel very low budget, I just feel the director got lazy and did not think of how to execute more effectively. This is the kind of thing that makes me drop dramas, but Doppelganger just makes me ignore those. The charm of the drama is just stronger than its flaws.
Strongest point is of course the female lead character. I am always attracted to characters who have the drive to live. In a world where there is no purpose, fighting to survive is super fascinating.
Finally, I got sold on the final message. I simply loved it.

this drama knows itself
"I dont want you to forget that worry and toil are not what we are after. We should enjoy our lives." - Liu Mian Tangthis drama does not lose identity, it is consistent in tone all throughout, does not get lost in complicated plots that lead to nowhere, does not bother with unimportant characters. it knows the story it wants to tell and took time and care to tell it. the little moments are more important than the big emotional empire encompassing complications.
the female protagonist reminds her male counterpart of this while approaching the political climax of the drama. do not get lost in the trouble, focus on living a happy life. so the drama diverted to a beautiful little date, showing that happiness is found even in dire circumstances. it is a simple but powerful reminder.
needless to say, i love this drama
