Telling a good story when you're limited to such a small amount of episodes is not easy and they managed to do it here. Four episodes is really a really small amount of time to tell a story like this one, and although they do manage to do it with maybe 2 other episodes it would'nt have felt rushed especially the last episode. The cast does such a great job on this story, both leads have great chemistry. Also both leads did great when it comes to acting but to me the one that stands out is the actor that plays Mark.

Nowadays is such a rare thing to see original series like this one, even rarer a series like this one where the main characters are gay. Until we Meet again is a mature and complex story that you rarely see. But a good story cannot be told if it doesn't have good storytellers, and this series had that starting from the writers and Director. Then we got our actors who did such an excellent job, I cannot praise the two leads more.

The series does deal with serious topics like homophobia and suicide, which it might be triggering since is really explicit. There's some aspects of that that I did not like how it was handled in the last two episodes, but I won't go in detail about that since it would spoil it. Also just being nitpicky there were a couple of episodes in the middle that felt more like fillers so it gets boring, but overall is a great series with a magnificent team.

Decided to give this series a rewatch and I enjoyed it just as much as I did when it aired. I guess is because I am a sucker for a good Enemies to Lovers trope and this series pulls it off excellent. It also has a great pacing for the slow burn, it doesn't feel rushed when both main characters get together and it also dosen't feel as it drags. The series also has good side characters that are entertaining, but they aren't as engaging as the leads. So in some way when it does not focus on the leads the series suffers. Acting wise I feel at times it could be better, but overall is really good. Is really an enjoyable series really worth the watch.

If you love stories with tropes of enemies to lovers this is a movie that is good for a watch to be enetertained for a while. I say a while because it goes by very quickly, it's quite short. When it comes to the story is quite predictable, but these sort of films there's not much to ask for. The main character though is a bit annoying at the start, but I guess is intetional to shkw her character development through the movie. While the main male chatacter played by Chanyeol is just like every single male character that is a rich idol, he does look good though. Overall is entertaining enough to give it a watch.

There's nothing sadder than a show that has so much potential never reach their full on potential, sadly that is what happens with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. If it wasn't for the main leads chemistry and performances I would've probably dropped the show. The main proble with the show is that it gets stuck in a storyline and it drags it out until the end. Also the show is quite lighthearted so the serious stuff doesn't fit in, it just feel strange to move on from a serious scene that involves a serial killer to lighthearted moments between the two leads. If that whole story arc was left out of the show or at least wouldn't have been dragged out for so long I probably would've enjoyed it more. Still I find the show worth checking out, especially since Park Bo Young & Park Hyung Shik do a marvelous job as the leads.

Such a shame that the show was affected by the current pandemic since not only affected the flow of the last episodes, but also one of the two main pairings storyline was sadly cut off. Still the show is good and the four main characters chemistry and acting are great. Especially Fighter and Tutor, their chemistry was amazing. The one thing that bothered me is how different in tone both pairings storylines are, so it feels like they're from different shows. Overall is really enjoyable show, but it must be kept in mind that it was affected by the current situations so the final episodes aren't as solid as the ones on the start.

In terms of originality this is one of the shows in the genre that are quite original. Is an usual friends to lovers slow burn story but it works. It works because both actors have chemistry. Still the story as it goes on gets a bit boring as slow burns stories get, that's why you need side characters with their own stories so it doesn't get boring and this had it. It just a shame that the second pairing didn't get the time they deserved, especially when their story and the actors chemistry was amazing. Hopefully in the future they work together or do a sequel with just their characters. The one downside of this show is how frustrating the characters get in more than one occasion, at times it becomes annoying. Still a really good show that is worth it to watch.

Probably the closest thing to a perfect show, that's exactly what this show is. The series centers around Se-ri a Chaebeol from South Korea that accidentally ends up crashing in North Korea. With a premise like that one you just know before even watching that is just going to be filled with laughter and tears. This is one of the major reasons the series excels, they have a great balance of comedy and seriousness.

But the main reason this series truly shines is the story and the characters. The characters that are meant for the audience to fall for are so easy to fall for, while the villains just as they're meant to be make audiences hate them. This is all thanks to the actors that brought them to life, not one was lacking. While the story is very unique it really could've easily become boring half way through the show, but it doesn't. The writers knew how to progress the story and without it from feeling like it dragged out.

I do feel there was a couple of side plots not needed in the story and a couple of characters that didn't have any purpose so there was no point of them even existing. That aside the series was just close to perfection. Also when it comes to acting this probably one of the best acted korean dramas I've seen. The two leas especially were incredible. In conclusion if you want to check out a drama with a more unique story, with no unnecessary love triangles and that causes you as much laughter as it does tears this one is for you.

2gther folllws Tine who is being approached romantically by Green, and to get rid of him he ends up asking Sarawat to fake date him. A pretty simple plot, which is not a bad thing when is done well and this series does it. The main reason this series shines is because of the spectacular work of the cast, from the leads to the supporting cast. The supporting cast was excellent throughout the series, they were really a joy to see even when the leads weren't on screen.

Still it is the leads who really make this show shine, both are so good in their roles. Even with the lack of experience acting they did great. This lack of experience you could tell in scenes that required more emotion, bit that's just being nitpicky since there was not an explicit scene where you could say there was bad acting involved.

The one thing that did bother me were the last couple of episodes, it really felt like the series was 2 episodes too long. The last 3 episodes compared to earlier episodes weren't as good, and the last episode also felt a bit dissapointing. Overall this was such a fun and cute story to watch that I really would reccomend to anyone. With the popularity of the show it wouldn't surprise me that fans will wish for a second season, but the reality is most times the sequel to a really excellent series is as good. Instead it wishing a second season I would just wish to see both actors get even more acting projects in the future.

Out of all his recent works this is probably his best one and in my list of favorite directed by Bong Joon-ho is at the top 3. The one thing that stood out to me the most on this movie is the cast and the chemistry they got with each other, it feels like a real family.

What makes this movie but also is one of the worst things about this movie is the ending. It's just rushed, and on a first watch it doesn't feel that way but once you rewatch the film you realize it really is a rushed ending. But aside from that is an excellent film and one of Bong Joon-ho's best works.
