Story - 10/10
This series originally started with P'Mame's novel and because of that each character is well thought out with their own story line which is something that we lack seeing often. Each episode was instrumental to TharnType's story line so I never felt bored watching them. I fell in love with each character and what they had to bring to the TharnType world. I was focused throughout the whole series which it something that is hard to do for me.
Acting/Cast - 10/10
Honestly if I could give this a higher ranking then I would because the actors cast for this series was complete perfection. After watching this series I cannot picture each character as anyone else rather than their actor counterparts. I had watched LBC but I didn't focus on Earth playing Type nor did I realize that TT was connected to LBC until after the teaser had come out, so I was not hoping for Earth to play Type. MewGulf are incredible actors and I was deeply impressed by the professionalism that they brought to the set. I have easily watched almost every one of MewGulf's interviews and it always astounded me when they mentioned how when practicing for their scenes, they really focused on how their character was feeling and what exactly got them to feel that way. Noticing that, I could really see how they engulfed themselves into their character and had the ability to showcase them beautifully. The connection between MewGulf is something that I wanted to mention as well, The bond between them as actors and as characters was something that was natural and showed into their work. Their intense and emotional scenes became phenomenal because they had that comfort between them to show their best work.
Music - 9/10
Music wasn't something that I necessarily focused too much attention on so I don't have much to mention about it, I gave it a 9 out of 10 because it fit with the scene, there was never a moment where I was focused on the scene and the music comes out of left field and ruins it for me. It was sweet to see how the theme song actually ended up playing a part in the series by being a song for Tharn's band where we get to see Mew sing which had me fangirling.
Rewatch Value - 10/10
Because of how much I love this show, I was always come back to watch my favorite scenes and fangirl some more. This is a masterpiece for me and holds a dear place in my heart, and I cannot wait for season 2!!

Method, in my opinion was one of those movies that have two storylines happening at the same time. It might be a bit confusing and at times rushed, as you're watching it but the revelation comes at the ending. I'll explain what I mean:Story - 9.5/10
For the storyline, as I was saying about having two different series of events happening at the same time, Method does an amazing job with combining the two worlds. As you are watching, you see it as a forbidden romance between two male actors that doesn't end well. However, on the other hand, it is about a play. Similar to Hamlet where there is a play within a play, Method shows how the actors of the on stage play 'Unchain', take on their role completely. While forming a bond between each other, they diverse themselves into their characters and truly become method actors. While I'm not saying that their attraction was completely untrue, their roles in the play (that were at the time influencing their mindset) did deeply affect it. Many watchers mention that they didn't really enjoy this movie because of how Korea constantly has unhappy endings for their gay couples, but I don't think that this was just a cop out for queerbaiting. I think that the writers and directors wanted to show a sinister twist to an affair between actors. The actors in question ust happened to be both males. When you watch the movie with this perspective, I think that Method did a great job.
Acting/Cast - 10/10
For the cast, I have nothing to say but compliments. I think that the actors did a wonderful job at showcasing their chemistry on screen as well as portraying their emotions incredibly for the storyline. I was pleased to see Park Sung Woong play Jae Ha because he is a relatively known actor. He took on the challenge of this role and I think that he pulled it off perfectly. I was able to see his internal struggle between the temptation of Oh Seung Hoon, the actor who plays Young Woo, and his commitment to Yoon Seung Ah, the actress who plays Hee Won. As for Oh Seung Hoon, despite being a rookie actor, I could not imagine Young Woo being played by anyone else. He was phenomenal at showing an idol overcome with passion and desire for his co-star that led him to losing a part of himself and his sanity completely. For the acting, I say well done.
Music - 9.0/10
Music is never a big concern for me when it comes to the storyline as long as it somewhat fits the mood of the scene. The music of this movie never took away from the scene and even added a suspenseful and sinister vibe to many moments with the violin undertone so I was pleasantly surprised.
Rewatch Value - 8.0/10
I can't say with my whole heart that Method is my favourite movie to watch over and over again, so I gave it an 8 out of 10. I would say however, that it is a fairly light movie, in the sense that you don't necessarily need to sit down and think about all the hidden eggs and metaphors as well as the meaning of life after watching it lol.
