The only reason this doesn't have a 0 is because of Perth
HEAR ME OUT!Also, don't get me wrong. I only watched it for the Perth scenes. I was also mad saint wasn't in it since I'm a hard Saint stan, but that is beside the point. Anyway, I love the actors and I loved LBC, I would also like to mention I love the director p'New, and I loved his works from LBC to UWMA. but this one was just overall sloppy like during the time I was watching it I was like "did the director get hit in the head with a bottle of wine and drunk the remains?" (lol not trying to offend anyone) I also think that the TinCan ship was rushed and repeated. I was like wtf even happened. -so Pete and Ae already broke up and TinCan just met? HOW, like there is no need for this many recap episodes. Aside from them I also hated the KlengkaTechno ship. It was overall messed up and Kleng is just an EVIL CHILD, but not gonna lie I loved hating him, and I also like Mark as an actor himself.
Like I had mentioned, I love Perth and Saint. Not as a ship, but as actors in general, I feel like Saint just stands out so don't even get me started on that topic. OK. Aside from me loving Perth. I think he got a little too much screen time like he should have given the main characters (TinCan) a little bit more scenes - not saying that I loved watching their scenes. Also not saying that I hated watching Perth scenes, cause I LEGIT lived for his senses. I always skip side couple scenes and TinCan scenes, to the point where I only watched Perth scenes. BUT come-on! give the TinCan fans a little more action.
Now when it comes to Kleng x Techno, don't even let me talk about how STUPID I thought It was! Techno is a straight-up idiot and not in a good way. I mean straight-up IDIOT. Kleng just played him dirty and at the end of the day he was like "at least I got them snacks"
LIKE are you STUPID or DUMB? and the advertisement was just too obvious like whenever that drink popped up I was like "here we go again like bob drink your GO GO juice and GET IT OVER WITH!!.
ANYWAYS... I still like the actors and I just don't recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their image of LBC pure and beautiful cause this crap just scared me. also, I would like to mention that the PeteAe story was rushed, then dragged then rushed again then dragged till the point I felt confused. I still ship AePete. May your ship rest in peace cause clearly ACTL killed you.
In the end... WATCH LBC and FORGET that ACTL was ever released.

Exceeded my expectations
If you haven't watched 'Until We Meet Again' then it's safe to say you're missing out.There are no spoilers in this review. Also if there something I said that offended you I apologize early. It was not intended I was just giving my opinion. :V
For a bl, this one isn't as crazy. There are no rape scenes, no shitty possessive top, no romanticization of abuse, and the "bottoms" aren't weak and dependant. There is a lot of homophobia, but they address it in a proper way.
The story. - 8.5
Lots of people see UWMA as a lot of incest in a bowl, but it really isn't. Sure dean is technically dating his great uncle who passed away 30 years ago, but no. I like looking at it in a different way. Pharm and Intouch to me are not the same people. Pharm grew up not even knowing of his past life. And if you want the whole series you'll see very clearly that Pharm doesn't think of himself as Intouch.
I won't call it incest because pharm is not Intouch, and Dean is not Korn. They said goodbye to their old selves a long time ago. The story was good and it had a good plot. I usually don't cry during shows, but not gonna lie I'm pretty sure I shed at least one teardrop. I also think the fact that they switched families was such an interesting concept that just hooks me. I think I would have liked the show as much if the story was changed.
The acting/cast. - 6.5
The acting was actually pretty good! Sometimes when I'm watching (especially Thai shows). The acting becomes a deal-breaker for me, but in this show, they actually surprised me. The chemistry was nothing to wow over, but it was there. The cast did an amazing job. I especially liked Fluke's (Pharm) acting. I loved all his emotional scenes. And the last episode was so GOOD. I mean the acting was on point. I didn't have an issue with anyone's acting in particular.
I just love the cast within itself watching UWMA pushed me to watch other stuff the cast participated in.
The couples were good. I like the DeanPharm ship and the TeamWin ship was good too. Like I said the chemistry wasn't over the top amazing, but it was good. I feel like TeamWin had a little more chemistry than DeanPharm.
The music/OST. - 4.0
Every series needs music. In this series, the music wasn't exaggerated or dramatic. I liked how they used it. I also liked a few OSTs here and there. The opening song was good and appreciated. That scene where Dean gives pharm the earbuds and they listen to some Thai songs. had me smiling.
The rewatch value. - 5.0
Although I personally have never rewatched this I still know that the rewatch value is pretty decent. If I could erase my memory of watching this I would. Just so I can rewatch it again FRESH & NEW.
Overall it's an 8.0 for me.
From the happy scenes to the sad scenes. From the foods to the romance I loved all of it. I such an adorable series and anyone who is a fan of lakorns should definitely watch this one.
