NICE BUT SLOW-PACED
I have only watched this BL series in 2023, as recommended by a friend. I liked the first few episodes, but as it gets towards the end, it somehow seemed to become a bit boring, or moving in circles that never seemed to end. The scenes of In and Korn in particular could have been edited, instead of making them too long and moving slowly. We already got the message that they committed suicide because their parents disapproved and scenes of their love story seemed to be dragging a lot, that I fast-forwarded these scenes.Apart from that I like the acting of all actors/actresses, lead as well as supporting ones. As long as the story goes, it is unique. It didn't make the story line creepy, knowing that Pharm and Dean were reincarnations of Korn and In. I can understand the stresses and anxiety that both go through when they have nightmares or flashbacks of their past lives, but do we still need this on the last episode? There were many twists about each other's families (not knowing grandma, not knowing uncle, not knowing cousin), it would be nicer if the last episode was made into a happy family reunion, or reconciliation if you may, of both lead characters, instead of just having the two say they love each other. What about the planned trip to the USA? It would be a much nicer happy ending, showing the two ready to make that trip.
One burning question I have, since I do no know that much about reincarnations, if Dean consciously knows that In is his grandmothers brother, and Pharm consciously feels he is In, wouldn't this seem to be kind of a incestuous relationship? Also if In consciously knows that Korn is his uncle, then falling in love with Dean (who feels that he is Korn) is also sort of incestuous. But anyway, I just took it lightly and thought, oh well this series is for entertainment only, so no need to think deeply about it.

Dull Plot and Lackluster Writing Prevented Me From Loving It :(
STORY:I really, really wanted to like this drama because (1) I generally enjoy New's work and (2) I loved the theme of reincarnation and being reunited with one's soulmate after passage of time. Unfortunately, very early on I found that I was forcing myself to watch each episode, and it felt like a chore. Despite the interesting premise, the drama itself was rather dull, tedious, and boring (except for a few parts where it was excessively melodramatic). I hated the writing: scenes were repetitive, dialogue was largely trivial and shallow and often accompanied by long bouts of silence that did absolutely nothing to move the story forward, the pacing was bad (too slow), and the plot dragged on without accomplishing much. That said, I suppose you could characterize this as tending to be more character-driven (though that may just be a nice way of saying the plot is weak); I prefer plot-driven shows with deft character development, so whether you like this drama or not may depend in part on preference.
ACTING/CAST:
As typically happens in Thai BLs, there were hits and misses with the cast with the more seasoned actors performing more naturally and organically than the newer faces. No standouts to me, but none were absolutely terrible.
OVERALL:
I may slowly try to pick this up again, but as of right now, I made it about halfway through before deciding it was too dull and poorly written for me. If all you watch are Thai BLs, you may not have as much issue with this one as I did; but if you, as I, tend to also watch different types of dramas from different countries, such as China or especially Korea (which, in my opinion, generally fare better in terms of overall quality), then you may find this one lackluster.

The cast is quite likeable, but the characters not so much.. Fluke is a really really good actor but I personally can't stand Pharm..
Lastly, the ads. Most BL's have them but UWMA couldn't incorporate them well into the story and I cringe every time they come up..
In conclusion I think it's a very overhyped BL that I don't think I will be continuing since there are other ones airing at the same time that are a lot more worth watching imo than this one.

Cute
Well, first of all...Until We Meet Again was my first BL.
I'm glad this one was my first BL, as I slowly learned more, beginning with one cute.
------------------------------------‐-------------
The plot was pretty interesting, I like series/films with Reincarneted people/lovers.
I also have to admit that it made me cry sometimes in some episodes. It was heartbreaking.
---------
I must say it, I actually liked more the second couple.
I find them a "better couple" in the series. The main couple seems kinda awkward. I like heights differences, but the mains was too much.
(Waiting for Win & Team own series, hopefully it will drop soon in 2022)
------
I don’t know about others, but I find characters like Pharm kinda annoying. All innocents, too naive, etc...
-----
I must say that I don’t think I'd re-watch it. I think I'd mostly skip everything.😅

I really wanted more of Team and Win... The thing is the main characters story was complete but rest of the characters story was just to add on time.

Watch this only if you have nothing else to watch.
Watch this BL only if you have nothing else to watch. This one is a strict one time watch with one finger firmly placed on the skip button throughout. I think the Seme's acting or appearance might have won my over or the reincarnation theme made me curious - otherwise I have no clue why I kept watching this. Seriously - i think it's because i had nothing else to watch (until i watched a lovely toxic 2 parter from Gloomy Salad (2010) ep13 & 14)The main problem w Until We Meet again is the couple gets together way too quick, i usually like a slow burn - i think everybody does - watch a relationship develop, i prefer a will they-won't they pattern - but here they skip the burn & it's just a waiting game for the reincarnation story to come full circle in the end. So whoever wrote this script or novel, I don't know why they thought people would keep turning the pages. Or maybe this is poorly adapted?
Finally, when it does reach that full circle point, it isn't a rewarding moment becuase there there weren't really any hurdles in this story at all - so storywise, there's not much a story here ... which is why kept skipping ... it's just passing time till the end. All this has is a reincarnation theme that is used to explain their unexplainable attraction, but it's otherwise not used to its full potential cuz trust me reincarnation is a popular theme is south asain movies, this didn't even come close.
Some other issues I had was the ukke isn't attractive but the Seme's looks do grow on u.
Also, the ukke's character is s just perfect at everything, his personality is too pleasantly perfect with a faux wide smile fixed on his face- it's too flat & unreal - i don't see the point of it. Being a good cook is not a character trait imo. Add to that the ukke cries a lot in this, and I mean a lot and it's unintentionally comedic, and they cue in this romantic track whenever he's having all these feels - i don't mind cheesiness but i was finding it legit funny

Plot-wise, it has a really good story and if you're looking for some heaviness an depth in terms of love and commitment you'll be able to find it here, though I found the duration of this drama a little dragging in the latter part of the series. The acting skills of the characters are on point and really commendable as they've managed to make the viewers feel the pain, joy and love. The side couple are really cute and it makes the series a little lighter and it balances out the drama.

Probably the most over-rated BL of all time.
I started watching it because of all the hype and ratings but Jesus Christ was it boring! I found the chemistry between the actors very average. The acting was above average. I watched 11 episodes but after that I was soo bored i had to drop it. The only thing about this BL is that it has a comparatively unique storyline. But again that's about it. I still don't understand why it is liked so much to be honest cause there are so many better BLs.However, I suppose, when it came out people found it different from others at that time and hence, found it soo good. But if you're watching it now then I don't think you'll find it that good.
So, i would recommend you to watch other BLs and not waste your time on this. Cause all the episodes are extremely repetitive, slow and boring.

Interesting story
Interesting and different story compared to other BL's I have watched.But the the main lead (Pharm's) acting was really really bad. This show would have been so much better if someone else did the acting instead of Pharm. He was cute yeah but as a couple with Dean, there are no proper chemistry. The kisses were super awkward and it was seen clearly seen in his acting. The second couple kept me watching this show rather than main couple. The flashback couple had so much chemistry. Wish the flaskback couple was main couple.

WORTH WATCHING❤️
I usually don't write reviews but I'll do it for this one. This is one of the best series I've seen even though it's not finished yet. The story is as beautiful as it is sad (Korn and In's tragic end) and the actors make it even more memorable. They have the chemistry and that makes the series even more intriguing. The music fits it perfectly as well and I'm so happy they made a music video so we can all enjoy it and appreciate Sompob's beautiful voice. I fell in love with this series after the first episode and I don't regret a minute spent to watch it. Looking forward to the new episodes????Was this review helpful to you?
