How is this rated higher than story of MINGLAN????
So upset to see it up there with the better ones that im giving it a big huge 1*


SUMMARY - KEEP IT SIMPLE or you'll fk it up
- they tried to do too much and killed a good one.
- A good base story and piece of art , destroyed by SCRIPTGPT fillers and nonsense unneccessary scenes.
- This piece is palatable i suppose, as i am doing a rewatch out of boredom.

1. Love most of the clothes
-//But whats with the fugly huge ACNE beads on the women?????

2. Love the showcase of Chinese Art, literature, Music
// But WTF with the flying fairy whatever woman and dragon to illustrate greatness in QIN playing???

3. If you want to be funny and show silly amazed audience faces, then show don't BLEED and CRY in the same qin playing scene!!!! Make up your minds ffs.

4. Plot was good bad good bad... ok.. then mehhhh BLAAAH
- Focus on the 'DOUBLE' and reduce focus the pointless cliche dead general revenge son, jealous sister shite.

OVER RATED, OVER DONE, OVER DESIGNED, OVER THOUGHT, OVER THE TOP - OVERCOMPENSATING
I mostly prefer period pieces as for architecture, landscapes, history, art & literature. 'The Double' started off with so much potential .. but flaws and cracks just started rolling it downhill. Good effort, i hope they learn from it and stop going down the rabbit hole of bad exaggerated cliches.
