This is my first bl series which i watched. I must say it is completely a master piece. My most favorite. They cared everything in this series.. Love, romance, comedy, tragedy, friendship, emotions, relationship goals everything. You should watch it. The casts are all so perfect in there every scene. Their acting is super good. Hat's off to director. Seriously he directed the drama so good, excellent. I have no words to describe it much. All i will say if you are a bl series fan then it is a must match series and if you are not then still you will love it. Lots of love to all crews, casts and all members in this series ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Was this review helpful to you?
The plot is unique, there's no "typical toxic bl" topics, the actors are really great, the chemistry between the actors is exceptional. I sometimes feel weird watching series that involes romance but this is so well done, as mentioned before the actors are amazing and so is their chemistry which makes it feels like it's not even acting at some points. The side characters are really enjoyable and it does not feel like a waste of time getting the scenes where only the side characters are on screen.
As for the unique story, first off, I don't think I've ever seen, not even heard of a moive/show that is about reincarnation. Second, the way everything is tied together is magnificent. A flashback might seem "pointless" but then there's that one line in the scene and it's like a puzzle, fits together perfectly with anything that's been going on in past episodes- or it's that one line you don't reflect over until later when something is said that connects back to what's been said.
It's a rollercoaster of emotions. I go from balling my eyes out to laughing and replaying muliple times each episode. The OST/music fits the series so well and it boosts the mood so much. I haven't come across a series with this powerful music in a long time. Basically it's the best series I've ever seen, no matter genre or year and it's definitly worth that week's wait. (Even though it feels so long and the episodes feels too short it's worth it, peroid.

Okay. I'm obsessed.
I have to start off by saying I've always loved the soulmate trope. Always. From the electrifying first look at the person they've looked for forever to the dreams and confusion, UWMA was everything I could have ever hoped for and more. I adore the direction that they took with it. I don't know if a smarter person would have seen the twists coming but I didn't and every reveal had me bawling my eyes out and screaming about what a good story this was.The casting of Fluke, Earth, Ohm, and Kao is genius. They've got those similar looks and they all do a great job of giving off the same energy as their counterpart. Overall, the acting from everyone is pretty stellar.
From keeping up with BLs online, I'd only ever seen bits of Team and Win and gathered that they somehow must have managed to steal the show which led me to believe there would be a lot more of them than there actually is. But I get it, their chemistry is effortless. I actually loved how low-key they are. We don't see them meet, they're doing their own thing, don't have a big storyline, they're good friends, and it was really sweet. I think it was a great idea when you already have Pharm and Dean with their super intense love story right next to them. As for Pharm and Dean, Korn and Intouch, well... They're perfect.
The soundtrack is nothing special and sometimes it's a bit loud, although that one violin piece they play during the emotional scenes made it impossible for me not to cry. My one major complaint is that one of my favourite scenes with Dean's mother doesn't have the follow-up I was so eagerly waiting for which is super disappointing. Also, could have done without the recurring body-shaming comments. Still a 10/10, though.

Great acting and chemistry
Currently rewatching this drama with a friend and I completely forgot how great the chemistry of the leads are! UWMA is a captivating story. The actors emote well, and it is easy to connect with the characters. As the audience we “know” who the characters are, but the series still leaves room for positive character development and someone for every audience member to connect with. the chemistry of both leads and the side couple (Boun/Prem) is great and the series does a great job transitioning between more serious moments and mixing them up with some light-hearted humor and romance. OST is great too. Highly recommend giving it a watch.Was this review helpful to you?

breath of fresh air
GOD, i loved this bl soso much. first time i ever saw these actors and they immediately stole my heart. they fit the role so well somehow, and their past selves also fit them at that!! hmm i loved tbe story! the plot! it was heartbreaking and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. im a sucker for the little hurt/comfort moments which have a huge replay value for me to swoon over repeatedly! they couldve had more fillers to draw the story out a bit since i feel they didnt communicate all that much besides the essential parts of the story but overall it is one of my favorite bls!Was this review helpful to you?
Everyone Should Watch this BL at Least Once
I can’t lie, this was my first BL, but even 2 years later… it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. It is the saddest; I definitely can’t forget to add that, but it’s so powerful. From the characters to the storyline and serious issues mentioned. I wish it was rated higher on here but not everyone can handle the intense scenes from UWMA.You will cry. You will connect with the actors. But, it’ll be worth it! After watching 50+ BLs (Thai/Korean/Tawain/China/Japan), I can w/o a doubt say there is no other BL like this out there and I’m glad UWMA is my first break in show into this wonderful community <3

Twisty Turny Plot
This was a fantastic story with lots of interesting twists and turns within the plot. I thought that all the actors performances were really great, considering what a deeply emotional story this is. Both sets of lead actors did an amazing job.I found the plot to be a bit confusing at first but the I just kept watching until it all made sense. My only gripe is, it was a bit drawn out, and I think they could have cut back the flash-back scenes quite a lot. Also I didn't like all the loud violin music all the time. Overall it was a great show with a very satisfying ending.
... :~)

Something Different
I loved the show to be frank. I loved almost everything about it except some flashbacks were repeated too many times.. It was an emotional show. I loved their past selves more than the present. I loved BounPrem more the than the main couple to be honest 😂 Although there weren't many scenes of them together but the chemistry was there in those little scenes (waiting for their own show)Also one bonus of watching this show was it made me interested in cooking 🤣
It was overall really nice pleasant experience with tons of crying but all worth it. I will recommend it to everyone. It's something new and great. Take a break from that engineering school cliché love stort we see everywhere in Thai BLs (that's why I prefer Taiwanese BL.. more diversity)

The one.
If Thailand could understand that quality is better than quantity, we would have more dramas like this one.For days I've been trying to come up with the good and the bad about this drama to give sort of an unbiased review, but bitch, I can't come to dislike anything that much to make it a solid point to not like it. This is a drama that was genuinely good despite of the little errors present here and there. Finally!
~Story:
Let me tell you something: those first 8 minutes of the first episode were the strongest 8 minutes a drama has given me. Shoutout to the author of the novel and writers of the series for their excellent work. You can tell this was a well received project by the production team because there is so much attention to detail from every aspect of it and it shows. This is a very tricky project to create due to the fact that there is a lot that intertwines and plenty of connections that could easily be missed due to the complexity of the plot, BUT! Not even once I felt that something didn't make sense.
This was definitely not your usual fanservice thing, there's an actual plot that expands and captivates with its tragedy and romantic moments. The blending of both lives was very well done and strategically placed to bring understanding of certain situations and why the "present" lives act the way they do for specific scenes. For example: there's a reason why Pharm is so smiley all the time, and why Dean has such a subconscious need of fulfilling promises; every action in this drama happens for a reason that connects to their "past" lives. Honestly, this is my favorite part of this entire series; I crave for this attention to detail from movies, books, dramas, games, and pretty much everything!
~Soundtrack:
Speechless. ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS. Finally a drama that invests on some real good music! Every single track on this damn thing gave me a sense of sadness, hope, nostalgia, love, and it was so fitting. I could talk about this for hour, but I don't wanna put you through that. Just know that this is the only soundtrack I spent real money to get because all the artists involved DESERVED the support. *chef's kiss*
~Acting:
This is probably the main thing about this drama where I can see room for improvement. And I could say that about every drama I've seen so far, to be honest. It's not like they were bad, but there were some moments here and the where I thought "Oh! This could have been acted more naturally." Now, let me go through the main actors quickly:
- Dean/Pharm: Compared with their past lives, these two were so socially awkward omg. First of all, respect to Fluke for being able to cry that much. This is how I know I could never be an actor. How do people cry voluntarily that easily? Can't relate, sis. Anyway, he's definitely my favorite of the two; he gave me an excellent range of emotions and allowed me to realize how hurt InTouch is. That scene when he tasted the soup was the highlight of his acting. Ohm was decent, and also dead inside, which is relatable.
-Korn/Intouch: First of all, who the hell calls their son "Intouch"? I mean, it's not bad, but oh my goodness it's so something I've never heard before. I love, love, love, love Earth! He's one of my favorite actors because he's excellent playing the beby. And he got a great partner in Kao; I really couldn't have asked for a better couple. Their chemistry was excellent and natural. Yes, they ARE the basic BL couple for this drama, but they did it so well that it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
-Team/Win: Okay, but Prem looks exactly like one of the guys from BTS, but cuter. What's her name? I don't know, I have taste. He alongside Boun make the most perfect support characters being always there for their friends for support and good vibes.
-Manow: Love her! She always plays the roles of the quirky best friend and it fits her so well. It's like she's just playing herself. She's been here since Love Sick and has become an actress to look forward to.
-Del: No. I didn't like her in Love Sick, I didn't like her in Love by Chance, and I certainly do not like her in here either. Her performance is always so fake and predictable for an amateur. She's been acting the same way on every drama I've seen her and I'm over her.
-Sin: First of all, WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with this weave? Mama she's thirsty, she's busted, she's homophobic. This ratchet ass weave is the definition of fighting with the scissors. TAKE. It. OFF.
-Alex: Now, he isn't the main antagonist, but I expected more from this character. He was so irrelevant in what he was doing that he may as well not be here. If you gon be the villain go all out, sis.
~Direction/Edition:
Truly the highlight of the drama for me. I am a big fan of this director because he seems to be the only one who knows what he's doing. You can tell he has a clear vision and can successfully translate it from his head to reality. From a cinematographic perspective, we got really good shots throughout the series. The actors' placements, the lighting, transitions, and music were cleverly thought out and used in the most successful way. Please, pay close attention to the environment because it truly brings everything together beautifully.
Mama this show has everything: Great writing, great direction, love, hate, past, present, future, food I can't eat, gay tears, busted ass weave, and plot twists. I would recommend it a million times to everyone.

Loved
I honestly love this show. But i do have some problems with DeanPharm's relationship.Pharm honestly doesn't really seem to be that into his relationship with Dean sometimes. I get that he's shy and this is probably his first relationship but seriously he literally almost always looks terrified and backs away from kisses or pretty much anything else Dean tries to do. As the relationship progresses Pharm should of at least gotten used to Dean wanting to hug and kiss him but he never really does. Its disappointing to not see the relationship grow in that aspect cause seriouly what couple still wont let there significant other kiss them after weeks if not months of dating. Then they just jump into bed together even though Pharm still looks seriouly freaked out every time Dean touches him... cause that makes perfect sense. Also Pharm is almost always crying in Dean's presence which gets kinda annoying after awhile. I get it, there's sad memories that In is remebering but it just makes Pharm seem way overly emotional. I love Fluke as an actor though and he does an amazing job portraying Pharm I just wish the character himself was a little better.
Dean is a little pushy in his relationship with Pharm. Honestly though the way they wrote Pharm it almost seems like they want Dean to practically force himself on him. Which he kinda does and kinda doesn't all at the same time. I have no doubt Dean would stop doing something if Pharm seriously says no, but he does kinda push Pharm to be receptive of him cause otherwise he'd never be able to kiss or hug or touch him. Ohm is a little stiff portraying Dean which i think has something to do with both acting and how Dean's character is written. The writer honestly seems like they kind of want their tops to be stiff and have sort of muted emotions because Korn is sort of the same way. I love Ohm as an actor as well and OhmFluke have amazing chemistry together. I just wish that DeanPharm's relationship could of had a little more believable development. I still have watched this drama over and over despite the problems i have with the relationship.

Bring tissues if you want to watch this drama !!!!!
What I can I say? This show had me from the very first episode to the last one. I couldn't contains my tears as the show went on, I don't know its probably because I'm a sucker for dramas like this one but let me tell you, this is not your typical BL drama. You really have to pay attention in order to understand whats fully going on because I promise you once you understand it you will feel like your heart has been broken. This drama is seriously one of my favorites, top 5 actually not only because of the heartfelt tragedy but because even after death they still found one another. I have never cried so much with a BL drama as I did with this one. I seriously recommend this drama to anyone because not only were the actors amazing but so was the plot and the climax. Amazing overall honestly. Just REMEMBER TO BRING ON THE TISSUES because you will need them.Was this review helpful to you?
OKAY
okay so where should i start...i started this series after watching current ongoing series Between US..so my review basis on the both series. This series is about the couple (korn and in) who suiside for their love as their family didnt accept them as boy couple(gay) . They rebirth and found themselves again in their next life as dean and pharm and story evolves around their past life and they started to find out about their past life.As for acting i really love the characters korn and In as i relate their emotions fully but i did not make attach myself for dean and pharm emotions. For me korn and In gave them all for their characters.
If you are watching Between US and did not watch UWMA then its not as problem as some scenes and dialouges are exactly the same in both series and series not link each other.
