I've been a super fan of Until We Meet Again, since Episode 1. For me, this series is a Masterpiece - one of the best Thai BL series! This finale episode is simply amazing, it's like reading a book and you get to see a clear picture of the conclusion of story. Episode 17 coherently provided the best ending to everything that happened from Episode 1. This Finale episode acted like that red string, it tied up all the scenes into one super bonded lovely story.
What makes Until We Meet Again a caliber Thai [BL] series?
1. The story - The story is arranged in way that you'll always look forward for the next episode. There is always that craving for the next scene and the next bomb that will be released next airing week. You'll be enticed - you'll keep on wondering, what will be revealed next? There is always this sense of excitement for the new progress to the story of each character. The momentum of the story is always getting higher and is climbing continuously, progessively to the summit!
2. The cast - Everyone is beyond perfect! KornIn, DeanPharm and all the actors are simply amazing. The series can make you smile, can make you fall in love, can make you cry a river, can make you grieve. All of these emotions were delivered perfectly. I'm in love with Nine - he is super handsome and super talented. I'm in love with his acting skills - so natural and so effective. Ahhhh, I like him so much. Fluke and Earth, no words can describe their acting prowess on this series. I'm amazed! Ohm is the boyfriend and husband material you'll ever wanted - he got the look, the body and the values I'm looking from someone to be with for the rest of my life.
3. The directing and the storytelling - With my beloved P'New as the Director, I expect no less than a Masterpiece. The story is complicated - for one to put everything on screen with so much clarity, cohesiveness and beyond pleasing to the eyes and taste of the audience is a gigantic task. P'New delivered with so much professionalism, with so much love on his directing craft. P'New put so much soul with Until We Meet Again, like he did with his previous series.
4. The morale of the story - I love the Special Episode shown prior to this Finale Episode. I would like to encourage everyone who have not seen the Special Episode to please do watch it.
The Special Episode speaks about how broadcast media portrays the LGBTQ community to its audience and the influence of media to the society as a whole.
For me, with all the other lessons I learnt from this series - I would say, I learnt and I must say that suicide is not the right and should always not be the option to address a problem.
I personally acknowledge depression and its effect to people. Depression is a reality and should be taken seriously by anyone who has it and with the people around that person who is experiencing it.
In my company, I volunteered to facilitate and conduct a module/workshop on Cyberbullying for kids on Junior and Senior High Schools, and many times during our workshop - Depression came up as the effect of Cyberbullying or any type of bullying. In other times, Depression came about when kids share about their issues with their family, the environment they live in, and because of the people around them.
I'm not a specialist on Mental Health Issues so I refrain from giving advice on what to do and not to do. I always seek help from people who are trained and are specialists on Depression and Mental Health Issues - otherwise, I may even worsen the problem. I can only extend help in my little ways - like listening, caring and being with them.
I believe, what I got from this series is - if you commit suicide as a resolution to whatever problem you have, you don't only hurt yourself but you also are hurting the people around you, especially those who truly care and love you.
If I may ask, if you feel you are depressed and is on the verge of taking your precious life - please do seek help. A couple of people may not be there to help you, but for sure, there is that person who will listen and care for you. Life is too precious to end too soon.
Lastly, I want to Congratulate everyone who has been part of Until We Meet Again! Kudos to a job superbly and awesomely executed and delivered! My love is for you all.
Thank you as well for those who have been supporting my write-ups. I appreciate all the encouragements and love! You are my inspiration to be of service to the BL world, that we truly love!
