An amazing drama !

As said in other reviews the drama is very thought provoking.
It questions the values of society : justice, family, love, health...

The World Between Us reminds me somewhat of one of my favorites TV series : The Wire. The two series are very different but they share a similar inspiration I think.
Although some actors are idols, the show is nothing glamourous : it is filmed almost like a documentary.

From the perspective of an european person, one can only wonder if the taiwanese society is realistically pictured in this drama because of important cultural differences : how the media and public opinion hold the family responsible, the death penalty, the social pressure in general...

In the show we just follow the characters and watch them overcome the hurdles life throws at them.
The pace is steady, there is no great intrigue or resolution, nor is it necessary in this show.

Every character is touching and realistic. The acting is on point, the writing is flawless.
The music is okay and adds just the necessary emotional touch (If you are like me, that will help you cry as in any good asian drama).

In short this drama is a gem and a must watch, in a genre on its own : entertaining but serious and thought provoking.
