The Double holds up upon rewatch, but there’s a caveat: don’t expect the logic to be perfect. The show is absolutely carried by the charisma, drama, and chemistry of the characters. In a lot of ways I think it works better than being wholly realistic in the plotting. Throughout the show, Xiao Heng and Xue Fangfei talk about how their schemes are plays—that is, everything Xue Fangfei does as Jiang Li is an act being tailored to the relevant audience.

I see that as a hint that we should also view the whole show as A Theatrical Drama. Things are portrayed for maximum effect and storytelling, rather than trying to show the most accurate sequence of events. You don’t watched a stage production of Romeo and Juliet and ask, why didn’t Juliet just marry Paris and then divorce him later? That’s not the point. Watching The Double is the same. We’re here to watch Xue Fangfei get her revenge, not quibble about why nobody came to see Jiang Li the entire 10 years she was locked in a convent in the mountains.

And thematically this makes sense! Xue Fangfei is putting on an act 24/7 except in front of a very short list of people. If you think about it that way, the entire show can be considered a theatrical production of her story—the logic will bend to make the story play out in the most entertaining and satisfying fashion, rather than the most reasonable.

In that sense, we can also view certain scenes as being ‘backstage’ or in intermission between acts. Xiao Heng is consistently portrayed as someone who enjoys watching plays—he’s the audience embodied. At the same time he is also an actor in Xue Fangfei’s production, and he could also be interpreted as an actor waiting in the wings for his cue, which we see happen throughout the show when he makes his absurdly dramatic and perfectly timed entrances.

What makes The Double special to me is that it has so much emotional depth that it wholly makes up for any flawed logic. We’re here for the catharsis, for the satisfaction of Xue Fangfei defeating her enemies and getting her happy ending. And because the show isn’t pretending to be perfectly realistic, it works.

“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

Every. Time. Every single time. I always get so delighted by this picture set. And I always forget what it’s followed up by. And then I see the “NAFTER NOON!” and absolutely lose it. I’m so glad this post exists.
