Until We Meet Again: Good plot + storyline, but slightly boring.
I genuinely enjoyed the series very much when I first watched it, but it was a while ago, and from my current view it's not the best bl ever, but it is something nice to come back to between bls.The rewatch value is really high because it isn't overly intense and I can dip into any episode without much problem.
Overall, I recommend this for anyone who's new to bls, but this is seriously one that everyone should watch, or atleast try to, atleast once.

My first Hong Kong film
As someone who practically dried up the Chinese film industry of all good films to watch, watching my first Hong Kong -dialect film that I watched (which is also Chinese) was singularly one of the most uncomfortable and unusual experiences of my life, because the balance of the difference of the dialect to the similarity of the language kept messing with my head.That being said, Ash is my all-time favorite HK films so far.
My severe lack of trust in synopsis and trailers led me to watch this series completely blind, and it did not disappoint.
I am someone with very loose criteria for the relationship of the mls, and as long as there is no DVs, cheating etc. I am pretty ok. But I will admit, that the first episode may or may not have come pretty close to that border... But again, I am not here to tell you what to watch or what not to watch; you either trust the process or thoroughly ruin the movie being overly cautious.
...To each their own.
The thing that captivates me here is the sort of masculinity and dependence that both mls have (not that not having either is a bad thing...), and the lack of overly emotional arguments or scenes.
It just really messes with my head and makes me wonder if they are going to stay together or if its going to be some kind of revenge thing or something....
It's also the way that it defies practically every other norm of bls... There is kiss scenes in the FIRST EPISODE, there is arguments and fights and every other thing that bls are absolutely terrified of doing in the first scene.
I really thing the entire story of the first two episodes can be stretched out into the whole series itself if need be, and the directness of the film is very pleasing to an impatient like me.
So, watch it or not... It was good for me, but at the same time, I will not trust online movie reviews for anything, but you won't lose much trying it out (except maybe your sanity... ;) just kidding)
