Phew, just crying and more crying with that blank face of male lead...
Okay, I'll give an entirely honest review based on how I felt after watching this drama... I really dislike the lead couple. Especially Pharm... Such a good character, but this person was just not suitable for this role. On top of that, there was so much crying involved—crying while sleeping, crying while waking up, crying while eating, crying while walking, crying upon seeing the lover, crying upon seeing the mother, crying at deserts... Phew, just crying and more crying with that blank face... I only finished the drama because of one storyline; otherwise, the lead characters weren't worth watching the entire show. The second lead couple was good, and I really enjoyed the character of Manaow and her bonding with theme was also enjoyable. for me its 5/10Was this review helpful to you?
Otherwise, I evaluate the processing, prepare for an even slower pace than "normally" slow are Thai series of this type, sometimes stilted, weepy, but that's probably how it should be and it's actually a flowing drama, when in some parts there is a gradual uncovering and understanding who they really are in the thicket of Pharm and Dean's tangled family generations and sometimes those who "believe" get chills down their spines, others who mainly look for faults remain cold.
I don't have much to complain about the acting, I rate the level of acting not by Meryl Streep, but by these series, some of them shined (surprisingly for me, Manaow, Koi's grandmother, Wina's relaxed speech and some others.). I can't even condemn Dean and Korn as actors, whose characters were written this way and they were both damn hot.
The music is fine, because if you have a longer series, you simply get used to the central theme of the songs. I also see a positive in the fact that this project creates a positive, realistic relationship with gays, despite the fact that there will be a tragedy at the beginning - it is treated with respect throughout the series and not as a farce. I RECOMMEND it to all sensitive souls.
Mám rád buddhismus i s jeho teorií převtělování, reinkarnace a ta pointa, příběh tohoto seriálu je pro mě nejzajímavější. Proto ze příběh 10, i když začíná "hrůzostrašně tragicky".
Jinak hodnotím zpracování, připravte se na ještě pomalejší tempo, než "normálně" pomalé jsou thajské seriály tohoto typu, někdy ucajdané, plačtivé, ale tak to má asi být a vlastně se jedná o plynoucí drama, kdy v některých dílech dochází k postupnému odkrývání a pochopení, kdo vlastně jsou v houští spletitých rodinných pokolení Pharm a Dean a někdy těm, kteří "věří", přejede mráz po zádech, ostatní, co hledají hlavně chyby, zůstanou chladní.
K herectví nemám co moc vytknout, hodnotím úrovní herectví ne Meryl Streep, ale těchto seriálů, někteří se zablýskli (kupodivu pro mě Manaow, babička Koi, uvolněný projev Wina a někteří další.). Odsuzovat herecky nemohu ani Deana a Korna, jejichž postavy takto byly napsány a oba byli zatraceně sexy.
Hudba fajn, totiž pokud máte delší seriál, tak si prostě na ústřední motiv písní zvyknete. Pozitivum vidím i v tom, že tento projekt vytváří kladný, realistický vztah ke gayům, navzdory tomu, že zde na začátku proběhne i tragédie - zachází se s ní po celou dobu série s úctou a ne jakou s fraškou. DOPORUČUJI všem citlivým dušičkám.

EarthFlukepeople
1st time in my life that I cried in the first episode. I'm not an emotional person & I watched gore without batting an eyelid but Earth acting in the beginning was gut wrenching. I cried so much during that drama because of Earth and Fluke that I don't think I'll be able to watch it again without purpose.The story is amazing, people complained about the pace but for me who is not use to cry while watching dramas, it gave me space to breath and gather myself. I know Dean & Pharm were the main cp and while they did a great job, In & Korn were amazing. Again Earth performance was mind-blowing and I hope that we'll be able to have a drama with their whole story. The side couple was funny and I hope for a sequel.

-some people said that when Pharm took the gun and was "possessed" by In it was a bit unexpected -also amazing acting from Fluke who blew me away- but the plot was tight and if one keep attention, you'll realize that there were crumbs hidden in all the sweetness and nostalgia leading to that place.
All in all, not only was the story line tight, but the way in which they deal with heavy plot was on point. They depicted normal looking - not over the top dramatic nor over the top lalaland everyone okay with queer people - relationships. All the CP had great chemistry.
The only bad point for me which is nothing in the grand scheme of things is the repetition of the double suicide way too many times that it made me uncomfortable.

Romantic, sweet, angsty, just pure perfection wrapped up in a series
What I found the most interesting is that there are essentially 2 main couples. I had originally thought the past cpl would just be simple flashbacks, but the series actually shows the development of their whole relationship, and it was so endearing yet incredibly sad at the same time. I was crying buckets all the time for them.The main couple is just adorable, who doesn't love an ML who's loyal and graceful only to his bf, and MC who's just the cutest with the most adorable smile in the world!! I love the similarities between the past and current couple, the mirrors and links were executed perfectly. ML was the one being chased in the past life, but this time he was the one chasing MC, MC can be shy at times but also brave as a lion when he wants to. The cause-and-effects were done perfectly, especially the last episode really made me cry my heart out.
The overwhelming feeling whenever they remember their past lives, was really vivid, and I applaud the actors for their amazing performances. And sibling love really does transcend even time, the grandma scenes made me super emotional!! And I especially like how the parents aren't the typical antagonists (both the current and past life ones), we see how the past parents had actually loved their children, they didn't want this tragedy to happen.
Truly one of the most spectacular written BL series, there's the perfect amount of romance, that doesn't need to be shown through explicit scenes.

Well done storyline
One of the best BL thai dramas I've ever watched. Storylines between past and present was smooth and very well done. I love the idea of the whole story.Main couple Pharm and Dean (Intouch and Korn) are from the begging attracted to each other. Story between Dean and Prarm witch are actually "remeeting" and getting know each other’s is very interesting and it makes you watch more and more episodes to know what really happened in their past.
Personally I’m a big fan of support BL couple.
the performances are excellent throughout the drama.
The only thing I would blame for the drama were the family relationships. They were very confusing. It took me a while realise who is who’s family.

best series over all
Thirty years ago, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn's life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential crime bosses in Bangkok. At first, Korn pushed Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn't resist the boy who was so full of life, his exact opposite.However, their love was star-crossed in a time when homosexuality was unacceptable. Amidst mounting chaos in their lives, Intouch kept fighting for their future, but Korn could not deal with all the suffering and decided to give up. That day, the sounds of two gunshots rang through the air. Though their story ended in tragedy, something had tied itself between them and kept them bound even beyond death.
Years later, nineteen-year-old Pharm returns to Thailand as a freshman at T- University. Riddled with sad dreams that wake him with a wet face, plagued with a fear of loud noises, and bearing a birthmark on his temple, the boy has always had a sense that he was missing someone. Twenty-one-year-old Dean is a third-year student and the swimming club's president at T- University. He, too, has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember.
The red thread of fate that had tied them together in their past life pulls the two boys together once again, tying them to each other and to a past that might not be worth remembering. The red thread that binds their two hearts together will always lead one back to the other; it may tangle and stretch, but it will never break.

So I've got mixed feelings
I'll start out with the things I really enjoyed about this series.Firstly, the side characters were delightful and their actors all did a fantastic job. I appreciated how much everyone felt like actual friends/family and that they got to have scenes together that didn't necessarily have anything to do with the main romance. It feels a little rare to get to see such a well fleshed-out friend group, not just people who you're told are friends. While I'm not personally a fan of the whole "female friend is into BL" trope, it wasn't handled terribly and I really enjoyed Manow and I was glad that the characters actually hung out with women sometimes lol.
I enjoyed the flashback scenes (for the most part) and thought In and Korn had a compelling and believable relationship. I think their story was handled very well, as were the heavier topics (although it did feel a tiny bit victim-blamey at the end, it was mild enough that I can let it go). It's hard to depict these events sensitively and I think they did a pretty good job.
As others have mentioned I also liked how they handled the differences between the characters in the past and future, I liked how different they were and how their personalities were shaped by their difficulties in their past lives. I'm also glad they addressed the concern that their past lives were the only thing keeping them together, though I think that could've been handled better, Pharm was being very reasonable IMO, even if it was due to his anxiety I think he had a point.
As for what I liked less... I really just did not buy Dean and Pharm as a couple at all unfortunately. Before they started dating it wasn't too bad, but once they were actually together... I get that Pharm didn't want to rush into things but it was handled in a way that made me feel really uncomfortable, it always seemed like Dean was pushing him further than he wanted to go and he didn't get to assert his boundaries. It just never seemed like he really wanted Dean to be kissing or touching him at all, which could have been a really interesting conflict if it had been handled better but in the end it just wasn't and because Pharm looks so much younger than Dean it made it feel a little gross. This was honestly a major issue for me and it really brought down the rest of the show because I found it difficult to enjoy most of their scenes together (which is of course 90% of the show).
Regarding the plot, I thought it was interesting, just slow. I don't mind a thinner plot in romance, character-driven stuff can be very fun! But it really started to drag, especially as I had figured out the plot twists episodes before the characters did, it really started to lag in the second half and I started to get a bit bored. The whole thing could've been a few episodes shorter if they'd tightened it up a bit and not repeated flashbacks so many times and I think that would've helped. It did a disservice to what otherwise could've been a really solid story, I really like a lot of the ideas but the execution could've been better.
I will also say, the music challenged me, it was always a weird volume and felt like it was interrupting a lot of the scenes and it got kind of annoying. The songs were fine it was just the way they were used.
Overall I don't regret watching it, and I had a decent time with it, but I wish it had lived up to more of its promise.

okay?
I have seen better BL drama but this wasn't good nor bad it was ok, don't get me wrong the couples are cute in both the past and next life one but it got confusing for me. Look the couples are seriously cute bit something is missing in this drama and I cannot put my figure on it it wasn't bad it was an okay BL drama but, I don't think I would recommend this to anybody cause this drama confused me with the past life interfering with the present relationship like there are the same guys why the 3-month separation from Dean(Ohm Thitiwat Ritprasert) that made ZERO sense the only thing that was going was the cute moment's hat the couples were together but Jesus christ the sponsorship just kill the mood for me as soon as I get the cute scenes I got the chip Lay don't even get me started on the makeup like seriously the show was blasted with the sponsored I had to skip to get out of the sponsorship ads it was the annoying cause as soon as we get the cute moment someone opens chips and say "I brought for everyone" goddammit but if we look past the sponsor the show was okay. Why was it okay I got confused on it how I taught some sort of incest shit was happening in the drama like how Pharm [Reincarnated In] and Dean [Reincarnated Korn] family was swapped like that shit confused me it would have been better if they were born in the different family then in the past life family cause that shit confused the hell it of me like crazy. anyways look pass the sponsor's ads and the messed up the swapped family the drama was an okay drama.Was this review helpful to you?
It hit me so hard..
Far from being perfect, this drama hit me so hard.As most thai dramas, there are a lot of useless scenes, scenes in which dialogues are so nonsense and only product placement would have saved them, given them a reason to exist.
Then there are all those staring scenes in which chatacters look at each other motionless for what it feels like hours...
Despite this and the entanglement of the plot, I could feel every single emotion displayed..joy, sorrow, anxiety...I found myself wishing for their happiness and suffering for their struggles.
I wish there was a Taiwanese version of this drama...I think it would be a masterpiece!

Perfect amount of fluff and angst.
This is literally the perfect story brought into a series. It has everything you could look for. Fluff, angst, romanticism, drama, etc.The plot and storyline, even if it's a bit confusing at first, it's really good and well constructed. The characters fall perfectly into line and everything that happens makes sense during the whole series.
The chemistry and acting of the actors is also amazing, which gives the show a great value. There's no cringey scenes and the intimate ones are well constructed and very touching.
It has perfect sceneries, great plot twists and amazing character developments.
It's literally the perfect soulmate au we've all read about.
The only thing for me now is wait for the second season, which will have the side couple as the main roles and I'm really excited about it since WinTeam were my fave characters. :)

Amazing Plot, Questionable Execution
The reincarnation storyline in this drama may very well be one of the most interesting ones I've seen for a BL (Since there really isn't much diversity). However, even though I had high hopes for this drama, it fell short of my expectations.Pros:
1) Great storyline idea (Reincarnation)
2) Cute Side Couple (Team and Win ahhhh)
3) Good acting in some scenes (Particularly Pharm in the last epi)
4) Nice music use (esp in first epi around the start). I really like the acapella song in the first epi, brought me to tears though it did get slightly irritating in later scenes.
Cons:
1) Main couple's acting was quite flat, esp Dean IMO. His face didn't really move much throughout the entire show? But his character did not really have much personality so :/ Pharm did relatively well considering the fact that he had to do so many crying scenes.
2) DRAGGY. This is the main reason I did not enjoy this drama. The dialogues were slow with many pauses and there were many unnecessary scenes where nothing was happening. I had to press 'skip' way too many times.
3) Not much chemistry. Though I feel there were cute moments, there wasn't any scene that made my heart flutter and I just did not feel that the to main actors were close at all.
4) Storyline/Plot esp towards the end. The conflict in this drama was put at a very weird point (Not gonna say where in case it's considered a spoiler) and resolving it took like what, 15 mins of the show? The conflict IMO is also slightly illogical though one can reason that Pharm was very overwhelmed by his emotions then, I just don't think it justifies his actions.
All in all, this is a drama that started out great but got boring and deteriorated as the episodes went on.
