In another parallel world, meet another self

From January to April, I did not watch it all at once, but followed it episode by episode, and the process in the middle was also very difficult. Fortunately, this year's New Year's drama has finally come to an end. The whole drama is a spy war thriller in a sci-fi coat. When I watched the first episode, I really had the feeling of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", but the whole world was copied, and many characters in the whole drama needed to be played. Two "self", the difficulty is still quite high.

The whole drama is slow-paced, the first episode is amazing, and the middle stage is procrastination. Finally, I start to fill in the pits, and quickly fill in the ones that have not been filled in before, and make a circle. My feeling after watching 10 episodes is like this: 1 wow 2 ah 3 wow 4 u 5 oh 6 oh 7 oh 8 oh 9 oh 10 wow oh

Then there are still a lot of problems that have not been solved, and we will have to wait until 2019....

It is generally recommended. Although the plot is withdrawn, most of the logical relationships are based on it. It is not embarrassing to watch. Each of them is a strong acting group, which is quite impressive.

Then, let's just tell the story first.

The following content contains spoilers


The story takes place in modern, current German society (you'll find that all but the main character speaks English, everyone else in a flash speaks German) a spy war with another world. The whole drama is full of cold war flavor, I even think that another world is the Soviet Union won the war.

This basket has been stabbed, it has been pierced through...

In other words, it can be said that before the other world is discovered, the trajectory of the two worlds is exactly the same, whether in the past or in the future. But since this "door" was opened, the two worlds are completely different, and the difference is getting farther and farther, including the technological point.

Another world's transparent mobile phone

Retro Leather Case for Normal World Phones

Our protagonist Howard appears: an honest man who has worked in the "door" where the two worlds pass for decades, loves his wife like his life, and has no ambitions, but he has never been able to get a chance to get promoted. The funny thing is that he has been working for so long and doesn't even know what he's doing . Until I met myself, who was completely opposite to myself, whether in life or career, Howard in another world: in an important position, with a strong style, full of style, and a contemptuous look

And then in this case, our honest man Howard met himself in another world and was thus involved in an unnamed "war" in the AB world.

One person plays two roles, and his acting skills explode

Two of the world's diplomatic negotiations were particularly interesting and eye-opening

Conditions in Diplomatic Negotiations

You may be thinking, what is the use of this data?

In fact, the two worlds in the play are really far from each other. A small change may have a major impact on oneself or another world.

In fact, the setting in the plot

Our world: pollution is serious, seafood is reluctant to eat on the opposite side, it feels too dirty. But the advantage is that we are super powerful in genetics, so that the diplomats on the opposite side will envy our vegetables and they will taste better. The overall standard of living is higher and there have been no major disasters.

Across the world: Intelligence shows that there was a big plague virus that killed 7% of the world's people, and the virus was spread by pork. This is equivalent to a major cleansing effect on the entire world (there are fewer people, and they are afraid of the virus, so naturally they dare not pay attention to hygiene). Certain technologies, which seem to be quite advanced, such as AIDS, are what we expect them to learn to cure.

meaning of data

Another interesting point is that the two worlds are directly under the jurisdiction of the "door" organization, and its management is called "fourth floor", which sounds very high-end and high-grade. The only time they met was the machine and People communicate. Among them, the one with earphones was in charge of translating the messy and incomprehensible languages ​​spoken by "Fourth Floor".

So I felt like I was instantly transported to a bittersweet scene where some evil intelligent machine was secretly controlling two worlds...

As for why the two worlds are hostile, wouldn't it be good to cooperate well?

This is what an audience member needs to find out in the play!

It's the thing in the middle

Everyone was nervous because of the meeting with "Fourth Floor"

In fact, I originally watched the show for Simmons' acting skills, but the more I watched it, the more fascinated it became, because it contained a very interesting connotation:

Maybe I in this world would regret giving up my career because of love, while another parallel world would give up love for my career.

Human beings themselves are imperfect, and life is full of unknown choices. Just like "Schrödinger's cat", there are two choices in life, but who knows what the future will be like. Perhaps for most of us, we chose what seemed the most correct at the time. If you think so, then it's okay, do whatever you want now and do it boldly, don't be afraid that you may regret in the future, maybe "you" in another parallel world will be envious of your original choice here Well, isn't it.

As for why the two worlds are hostile, wouldn't it be good to cooperate well? This is what an audience member needs to find out in the play!

I have written so much this time, and it can be considered to love these things. Now I still write very badly. I will try to pass on the things I love better to everyone next time.

    Although it is also full of mysteries, it is not like other suspense dramas, because there is no content and a few secrets to keep the audience's appetite for a season. Only three episodes of the plot and characters have been greatly promoted. ps. Only found that Mr. Simmons released 12 movies in 2017. The work surprised me.

    It feels like the rhythm, the plot, and the acting are all fine, but I just don't think I have any desire to watch it. one episode. The biggest dream of this parallel universe for us is probably that another me in the world becomes the person I want to be, and realizes the dream that I didn't realize. Well, he is happy, so I can feel at ease.
