“The Doctor’s Best Kept Secret to Cure Insomnia”
DISCLAIMER: I watched this as a part of a recommendation challenge which is why I didn't drop it.
What did I just watch? Or better yet, what did I just sleep through? Instead of Parallel World, it should be titled “The Doctor’s Best Kept Secret to Cure Insomnia”. No sleeping pill works as well as this. I also remember calling it a “crack dream” at some point. The beginning was extremely slow. So slow, I kept falling asleep. When I didn’t go into a deep slumber, it was because I was multitasking, so I might as well have been asleep. I tried to keep up with the story, but by episode 10 I gave up on all pretenses and just kept the episodes running, occasionally looking up from my phone. I did try to pay attention a few times afterwards, but the result was just me falling asleep. The drama had sand zombies, pew pew, parasitic flora, golden snakes, and so much other stuff and it still bored me…to a narcoleptic-like sleep. I did enjoy some of the chicken parts though. There were also parts, probably due to censorship and trying to remind people not to look for the Jade Gate, that seemed like they were popped there randomly. Yes, the CDL and older man scenes. I was like “Girl, why are you here too?”
I felt, at the beginning when I was actually trying to pay attention, that NiNi’s character was extremely childish and I did not enjoy that. None of the characters moved me and I did not care about their struggles. I was right about one thing I remember thinking before passing out “these guys are probably manipulating her”. I only remembered one OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Upvt_ac5IY and it’s because it’s sung by Liu Yu Ning, and even then it’s not really his best OST. But after searching for the rest, these did match the dull atmosphere of the drama.
I am grateful to this drama for one thing though. I tried watching the final episodes after finishing another extremely tragic show, but I fell asleep. Something I thought I wouldn’t be able to do after that other drama. And trying to recall parts of the drama while writing this made me want to take a nap. So, I will stop here.
