I absolutely fell in love with this BL, I couldn't stop watching and was always so eager to watch the next episode straight away. I've been a fan of New's {the director} work since Love By Chance and he hasn't disappointed me with this one. I can now say that 'Until We Meet Again' is one of my top BL's I've seen. I've been reading a lot of reviews and I can see why some people don't like it, this type of drama isn't for everyone. This drama is more slow paced then other BL's out there, so if you want to see the couple together straight away, this drama isn't for you. Even though the two characters have the connection before meeting each other because of their former selves, In and Korn..... which could see them moving fast but they don't act on anything until like 6 episodes in. That is one out of many many I ave seen.

THE STORY
I usually go into these drama's blind as I don't read the novels beforehand, but I thought the story was really unique and intrigued me straight away. There aren't that many reincarnation stories out there so I was really interested in what the cast, director and everyone else who worked on this drama could do with this plot and it turned out as I hoped. I absolutely loved the use of "The Red Thread Of Fate," it tied well with the concept of the story and helped build it up more. It gave the viewer more incite and knowledge that Dean and Pharm are supposed to be together..... by fate. It's another unique aspect of the story that kept me watching on to see how well they incorporated the red thread throughout the drama.

THE ACTING/CAST
I decided to check this drama out because I saw Fluke as one of the main leads, and instantly thought this must be good. In my opinion I thought he suited the role of Pharm, I believe he has a lot of things in common and have a similar personality with this character which could possibly help him know more about this role so he can act to his best abilities to portray this character to make him feel more real.

While I watched it for Fluke, I was also really impressed by everyone else as well but Earth and Nine caught my attention a lot. There acting seemed real and I could feel their chemistry oozing off them through the screen. It felt like they were actually a couple, those two overall impressed me. Especially the suicide scene, which would've been hard to act out as it's such an intense, series and important part of the story.

I also loved the side couple, Win and Team. I wished they showed more of their relationship being formed, I just needed more from them. Like this couple just happened out of nowhere, making it a bit confusing but still love them anyway. I would love for them to have a series like some other BLs are doing, I'd be first in line to watch.

OVERALL
Overall the drama was put together well. I enjoyed watching every minute of it and every episode kept me wanting more. I gave it a 9.5 rating instead of a 10 because I thought it needed to be more dramatic in some parts and that some scenes did drag on a little bit while others were cut short. Other then that I loved it. I do recommend this drama for people who love heartwarming sad dramas. I'd definitely rewatch again and again, not many dramas have this much of an impact on me.

COMEDIC HORROR!!!!

Ghost Ship has been a movie I've been wanting to watch for ages, like months. Finally, I actually watched it and I wasn't disappointed. One thing it did lack for me was that it wasn't scary. I loved the comedy side but I think it overshadowed the horror aspects for me. Like yes, there are a couple jump scares that did get me but overall wasn't as scary as I thought. But still, I enjoyed every minute of it.

STORY/PLOT
PLOT. TWISTS. EVERYWHERE. The amount of times I was left mind blown from this movie was incredible, and the thing is that they are played out so well that you don't see anything coming. The biggest plot twist that occurred was with one of the character's Nick and what happened to him in the end (don't want to spoil too much hehe). It left me shocked, especially how they revealed such a thing. That's just one out of many that were played out.

Also the story in general I loved. The way it all played out and how everything fitted together was pleasant to watch. I didn't get bored from watching this movie, to the point I wanted it to be longer. I loved the concept of having the story surround the ship, it's not a unique idea but loved the idea nonetheless.

ACTING/CAST
The reason I wanted to watch this movie was for Fluke. Fluke is an incredible actor and his acting is so diverse. His character Yorla is defiently different from other characters I've seen him play, but he somehow suits this character as well. Even though I only knew Fluke, I fell in love with the other cast members as well. In my opinion this movie was casted really well, everyone suited their characters perfectly and I can't see anyone else playing these roles. I'll defiently have to check out more things from these actors/actresses.

OVERALL
Such a great movie. Not as scary as I thought but is defiently worth the watch. With me going into this movie with high expectations and thought I'd be disappointed, I was more wrong. I just love the idea of this movie, from the plot, to cast, to settings, legit everything. I'd defiently comeback and rewatch it over and over again and I would not get bored watching it.

MUSIC LOVER'S GATHER AROUND!!!!

This movie was defiently a hit or miss for me. I did enjoy some parts of the movie then others. It's not a bad movie but it's not one of my favs. It did take me a while to get into the movie as it's a bit slow paced for me.

STORY
What drew me to this movie was the story line, it was quite unique and intrigued me. The way they developed and brought this story to life was pleasant to watch. Even if I found the movie a tad bit dull for my liking, I stayed until the end for the story to see where they would go with it. My fav part was the idea of preserving Aki's memory/life in a tape recorder, it's such a clever idea.

ACTING/CAST
Another reason I decided to give this movie a crack is for Mackenyu, he performed his character (Aki) so well. I could always feel what emotion he portrayed in that moment. He never disappoints. Also he can sing? and he is so good at it too. His voice his gorgeous, every time he sung I was awes trucked. Also the songs he sang complimented his voice so well.

The acting overall from everyone was astounding. In my opinion the cast did uplift the movie a little bit and they did keep me hooked until the end. I couldn't picture anyone else in those roles. So I defiently applaud the casting directors for the choice of cast.

OVERALL
It was a decent movie overall. I believe if you have a love in music you'd defiently like it. Sadly I'll most likely won't come back to watch it again. I did like the story/plot but it did take me a while to actually get into the movie. To me it's slow paced and I did find some parts boring then others. All in all, not my cup of tea.

I absolutely love zombie related shows, I can never get enough of them. I always say to myself Korea makes the best zombie dramas and movies, for some reason I haven't found one I've disliked so far. It's always
hard to find a decent one I like, nothing ever catches my attention but some how the Korean market produces them, they are just top quality.

PLOT/STORY
This gives me 'I am legend' vibes with how the zombie like creatures can't come out in day light, something similar to that. I love the concept of the zombies coming out at a certain time, it's very unique and like I've said, I've only seen this idea once before.

I also love how they jump to different stories throughout the episodes. Like one story we have the crown prince fighting off the zombies and protecting his people and land, while over here we have the Queen is pretending to be pregnant to full everyone into thinking she is. The stories are all over the place but I'm loving how it was put together, it made me very intrigued on what's going to happen next to both parties that are involved.

ACTING/CAST
The casting choice was amazing, I went in blind not knowing who any of these actors or actresses were but wow. You can watch me check out other things they've been in. Everyone is perfect for their roles; and after watching I couldn't see anyone else playing these characters apart from them.

It was so hard to pick a favorite character, they all shined in their own ways. But if I had to pick a character as a favorite it would be the crown prince, not because he is the main character but because he shows loyalty to his people while being prosecuted as this 'traitor'. I just loved this about him, it just shows his true colours.

OVERALL
I'd definitely rewatch, with only 6 episodes (wish there was more) it's an easy and fast drama to watch. I have a short attention span especially watching dramas, but this one never lost my interest. From the first episode all the way to the last episode my full attention was on this drama (which is rare for me). I highly recommend watching for an great experience, you won't be disappointed.

I usually love these type of movies, they are actually one of my favorite type of movies. But this movie just hits differently and not in a good way. It was actually going well until I saw the special effects that was used, especially on the shark. It makes the shark from jaws look real and that's saying something. Another thing that irked me that they had problems sinking some of the sound to some of the actresses. So I study media and I pick up on things quickly and that their voices actually don't match there lips moving, so it looked like off beat lip syncing.

STORY/PLOT
I stayed for the story to be honest, and it's possible my ranking is higher because of it. The story had real potential and probably the only reason I stayed to the end. I've watched movies with similar plots and absolutely love them, this is why I gave it ago.

ACTING/CAST
The cast they chose did a pretty decent job. Sadly though I didn't form any emotional connection with any character except maybe for the main guy character because of what happened in the past with his wife, other then that nothing really. But I still believe they are great actors, it might've been this movie that didn't give them justice.

OVERALL
Even though I loved the idea of the plot, it definitely needed improvement. Also the special effects definitely weren't the best (especially for something that came out in 2020) which I believe ruined the experience for me. It's a good pass time if you have nothing better to watch, but I would not come back and rewatch it.
