We Shall Meet Again (2024)

A Thoughtful Light Mystery

I found the story somewhat different from the synopsis - not much of a thriller (though it has a couple of eerie moments like a premonition of something sinister) and there's not really any substantial romance. Set in a typical ordinary Chinese coastal village life, it has a certain feeling of hopelessness and nothingness. A touch of longing in the mystery it atempts to unravel makes the series feel contemplative. By the end of it you'll feel like having just watched an engaging movie, one that just happened to be packaged into bite-sized-20-minute-ish episodes. The series manages to capture your attention nicely with a cast that act well. It presents things with easy hints, so the whodunit can also be easily inferred. Ending with a somewhat hopeful lament, the show is an easily digestible watch, leaving the audience with a lingering thoughtfulness.
