Fragmentos del pasado

Before I watched this Shards of Her, I watched Pieces of Her. Very similar title, and gave a similar feeling. The thing about finding pieces is it is can be very boring. :)

This can be said about this title (and the similar title above). The series can be very slow and boring, and up to the mid, we are guessing about the direction of this series. Up to the first two or three, I was not even sure what it was about: time travel, schizo, parallel universe, or what.

But to the mid, I began to get it, especially after that scene about that pretty boy in the office. This series is about sexual harassment, which was presented very well. It is then beginning to feel like a documentary, which I quite like. It even tells a bit of why the predators did what they did.

I think the most powerful episode was the last one.

And, I have not watched Taiwanese production since Meteor Garden, so not familiar with the casts, but I think the best performance was not delivered by the main woman, but that other female victim. Somehow, I thought the series could be better if she was the main cast, but I understand her age would not fit the narrative of the story. Still, she is acted the best, and also looks the best.

Anyway, now you know what this series is about, it is up to you if this is your cup or not. Again, the reason I am writing this is to applaud the series effort to deliver message about abuse, which happens daily in our world.

I couldn't even finish the 1st episode and decided to drop it right away. I have read the three critics' reviews. One is absolutely terrible, didn't say anything. Another blindly praised it without any merit. Only the 3rd one gave a more realistic review and gave it a barely watchable rating.

How could such a sharp, cool, very capable and talented headhunter woman would be so helpless and victimized by a thug-like guy, to be harassed on the day 1 he show up in the company she works? The crazy guy is a completely, illogically arranged to serve the purpose for the drama series, a psychopath from America and his only goal is to harass this No.1 moneymaker of the headhunt company? Taiwan is such a small island and yet it seems to give the viewers that Taipei is a metropolitan mega city with lot of international big companies, so the headhunting business is so booming and so profitable. Give me a break!

A series where the plot is like a parallel world. Play with the heroine's lost memories. And came into existence in the new world The story progresses through the drama of the lives and wounds of the characters that gradually fade away. Revealing the past Expose social problems that primarily affect women. The mystery theme mixed with murder investigations helps to make the story more interesting. Before being tied together to answer the truth well Even if it's overly exaggerated enough (But it's acceptable) is another quality series of Taiwan where the writing skill is not falling at all. If anyone has always liked the Taiwanese series of Netflix, you can watch it.

Netflix is another drama with the theme of protecting women. Similar dramas strongly recommend the Maid starring Margaret Curry, which involves sexual assault on campus and sexual crimes in the workplace. A successful person who can earn millions of dollars to be on the cover of a magazine by her own ability, it seems that just because she is a woman, she will hear such low-level discussions about being on the top of a woman's sex. The director reshapes the past of the woman leader in a way of traversing a parallel world, Fragmented clips add a sense of suspense. Xu Weining really looks good without dead corners at 360 degrees. The better she looks, the more heartbroken she feels!

I read reviews here and there's a 1/10 review and I couldnt say he's totally wrong. I hv the same feeling after finishing episode one and want to give up given such a non sense. But after the car accident and storyline goes into a completely different world it just start becoming interesting. Is it a parallel world? Is what happen before is a hypothetical situation ? Is that a dream? Things didn't make sense and add up all in a sudden. Her boyfriend from a business world transformed to become a cop, that didn't explain. While watching, things becoming clear bit by bit and it is quite a kinda situation happened in Chinese society. I love the meaningful behind and Taiwanese drama didn't always convey a message and this is the one too.
