I remember hearing about this years ago, but I didn’t watch it back then. Now I remember about that, I’m trying to watch it (I don’t even need any English subtitles, cuz native speaker perks), and oh my god that voice of the mother character was so… uncanny… weird… my heart was just beating so fast hearing that tone of the voice… and I don’t even use Mandarin at home (Cantonese used at home), and those words just cause flashbacks to my mother’s “evil” voice talking to me. Omfg…
I’m gonna have to finish this, but holy shit, my heart can’t fucking take this… this resonates with me so much… 😭
(I’m talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Children (known in Chinese as: 你的孩子不是你的孩子)
(It’s on Netflix, has English subtitles, not sure if other platforms have it, since the original network is a Taiwan thing; I was unable to find a torrent for it)
Is it like Black Mirror (based on the episode descriptions)?
Um yea… sort of…
Episode 1 Spoilers
First episode got so weird because I didn’t know what’s going on, but they got a fucking time-rewinding device, like the Rick and Morty time remote thing. So bizzare, never seen such a concept in a Mandarin TV show.
It sounds interesting. I wonder if there is a translated version somewhere.
I had a show that fucked me up like that, too. The Bear. It gets into family drama with a mother who is mentally unwell and holy shit, it was a gut-punch.
There is English subsitles for clarification, I was saying I don’t need them because I was trying to brag lolz.
