As long as you can ignore early slapstick moments and some illogical plot holes, you'll be entertained by Giddens Ko's signature romantic drama with unique touch of fantasy, horror and thriller. Hands down to Kai, Gingle, Vivian who tied all the emotional strings handily.

Greedy
justinovoo19 January 2022
This film is like Taiwan version of Along with the Gods, but more simpler. I can see the visuals, and the editing is OK. I don't understand why the director included the joke during a touching scene, it totally ruined my emotions.
The story is terrible. The creativity does not compensate the bad storytelling. Ko cannot balance the storyline of the afterworld and the love story, it feels like there are so many to express but completely loses its focus. However, I can say the leads are great in this film.

This mish-mash probably will work better as a series
pasaribuharisfadli16 April 2022
While staying interesting and never boring, Till We Meet Again's rushed narrative only makes it feels more like a summary than a feature film with a complete arc. As result, the film suffers greatly from underdeveloped characters and undercooked plot points. The genre-changing is also a tad abrupt instead of organic. The premise probably will be fleshed out better as a series instead of a film.
A refreshing attempt and great original story

You could call this a romantic film but you can also call it a fantasy. Either way, it's a great one and a nice try for Taiwanese film. I have watched the director's and the two protagonists' films from You are the Apple of my eyes, our times. Both of them are typical, touching teenager love stories,this one reaches out to the afterlife and reincarnation,a recreation of the another world. And it also includes some vulgar and erotic jokes, just like the director's first and signature one. All in all, it's moving, refreshing, genuine and a good one.
Fantasy Love Matchmaker

The god who unites people in love matching. The fantasy CGI is really cool with great story line. It is a touching story as my love to you will never change in a million year with the amazing theme song Red Scarf by WeiBird. Favour the lift scene with joyful music and dance.
Above expectation

The movie was advertised as fantasy romantic and I was getting confused after watching the trailer about what expecting. However the thematic afterlife and good review convinced me to watch it.
At the end I was bluffed, this movie has it all.
This movie is unique, a must watch.
At the end I was bluffed, this movie has it all.
- Great romance (we got some tears off)
- Has a fantasy, spirits part
- Plot is wonderfully written, you feel sometimes a bit lost, which is what a plot should be. Make you impossible to guess the end. But you will get it all at the end.
- Actors play well
- On top of that, there is high level chinese philosophy even Buddhist/Indu behind the story about reincarnation, afterlife, life, karma, power of the heart and love, animals-human connection and power of metaphysics energies.
This movie is unique, a must watch.
Just WOW. How is is movie not a 10 in ratings?

This was a complete rollercoaster.
This is the kind of movie that leaves you lingering feelings after you have watched it, it will stay for a while in your mind ( and heart) thinking about love and sacrifice and how to enjoy life and every moment you have because experiences are precious.
The fact that is so fast paced but yet everything was so well executed is just brilliant.
Had me crying so many times I was in shock. It has everything, the humorous scenes, action, the sweet sweet love story, heartbreak and tenderness.
Amazing special effects as well, the photography of this film and all the details and style are really cool.
Go and watch it! And thank me later.

Not what I expected. Loved it anyways
ushynnus19919 April 2022
This was definitely not simply a romance genre. It has a little bit of horror in it, and incorporated many references to urban legends, which was pretty well done (if you are raised in Asian culture you made not get them). Story was unique with some nice twists. The acting was nice, the chemistry between actors were great. Hubby and I definitely cried to the movie. Nice theme song. Highly recommend. Fun fact: this movie was the author's tribute to his dog.
Bait and Switch
lehlioman-14 December 2021
Despite the title (a.k.a God of Love). Trailer, theme song and synopsis trying to depict this as a romantic movie, IT IS NOT!
There is a parallel plotline about some demon from hell trying to seek revenge. This plotline plays out like a loud, horror movie with a lot of special effects and takes up HALF of the screen time.
Because of this jarring mix of genres, nothing is particularly believable, and many scenes and dialogues felt tacked on. When I got to the point of the movie where a character tries to have sex with an exhaust pipe of a motorcycle (yes it really did happen), I stop caring about how the rest of the story will unfold.
I felt cheated. This is my worst movie of 2021.

The most creative fantasy
Junsail4 April 2022
The benchmark for Chinese fantasy films. It integrates a lot of elements, but it still handles it very well. The two main lines represent love and hate. Every move is the attachment to obsession. There is no right or wrong, only letting go or not.
Till We Meet Again
jackson_ro4 September 2022
Yue Lao is by absolutely no means perfect, nor can it even be considered well filmed, well scripted or even well acted, but I am absolutely in love with it. There are definitely some awkward moments earlier in the film, but as the film goes on you realize its tremendous world building. It's so rare to see a Chinese fantasy film's world created in such a manner, and that is kudos to Nine Knives. Combined with what Taiwanese film makers are best at, love stories, the film is an instant classic. The film also has taken so much from other genres, from traditional horrors, Wuxia, etc, it's just such a rare and enjoyable experience.
