Review: Twelve Letters [China]

THE SHORT VERDICT:

This show is basically Signal, but instead of walkie-talkies, make it letters, and instead of crime solving, make it love.

It sounds abstract, and there is a lot of ground to cover with two timelines co-existing in just 12 episodes of screen time, but Show’s writing and handling is so deft, so detailed and so confident, that it all works – and really well.

As a whole, our cast does an excellent job, but I have to say, Zhou Yi Ran and Wang Ying Lu truly stand out in their roles as our leads. Their deliveries are so natural and so raw, that I couldn’t help but feel like these characters were real, living, breathing people. 🥲

Highly, deeply, enthusiastically recommend. ❤️
