Should I continue watching this series?
I dropped this series after the first episode. Why? Well, it’s part of the Between Us universe, and honestly, I felt like I already knew what was going to happen. They basically spoiled the plot from the start, so it just felt predictable. If you're planning to watch Between Us, I’d suggest you start with Until We Meet Again instead. Plus, BounPrem’s story is in this one too, and since I already know what happens in Between Us, it felt like a bit of a time waste, haha! Confusing, right? I think I will continue watching it when I run out of BL series to watch.But, I’m trying to be fair here, so I didn’t give it a low rating. Since I didn’t finish the series, I gave it a 7.5.

Overall a cute story. Worth it if you don't have anything better to watch.
I didn't think I would like the reincarnation trope, but honestly they really made it work.Pharm spends half the time crying tho. Really cute crying face, no doubt, but it was too much for me...
It was a cute story and I liked the actors, but they keep coming at us with the fragile "i don't want it" boy. I DON'T GET IT!! You are in love! Why don't you want your lover to kiss you??? I mean sex is one thing. Not everyone has the same timing. But kissing? These are university men. I think kissing your loved one is a given. Why do they always create this character who runs away from kissing their partner? Pls....
Really excited about the series about Win and Team! High expectations.

Beautifully Crafted Masterpiece....
"Until We Meet Again" is not just a series it's a beautifully crafted masterpiece that deserves nothing less than the highest praise. Every element, from the acting to the writing to the direction, was executed with such depth and sincerity that I was left speechless after every single episode. All the tears I shed... were absolutely worth it.They say tears are one of the most precious substance our body can produce because they represent genuine emotion and through this series, I’ve come to fully believe that. My tears weren’t wasted; they were a reflection of how powerful and meaningful every scene was. This wasn't just watching a show; it was feeling every moment of it.
When I first saw the teaser, I already had a gut feeling it would be something special. The cast alone gave me so much confidence, and I wasn’t wrong. From Episode 1, I had goosebumps. I wasn’t even fully attached to the characters yet, but but the emotions already hit me like a wave. That’s how impactful it was.
The performances especially by the actors playing Dean, Pharm, Korn, and In were breathtaking. The chemistry between Dean and Pharm was so natural, so powerful, it was impossible not to feel every ounce of their love and pain. And the physical resemblance to their past life counterparts? Brilliant casting. It felt like fate just like the story itself.
The story itself is heartbreaking yet heartwarming. Every episode was beautifully paced, with moments of sadness balanced by light and touching scenes especially when Pharm made friends with Manaow and Team (forgive me if I forgot some names). Those moments brought joy and warmth in the middle of all the drama.
One of the most unforgettable scenes for me was when Pharm cooked an omelet. Such a simple act, yet filled with overwhelming emotion. Watching him break down in that moment tears streaming as he remembers a past he never lived was absolutely devastating. Fluke acting is on another level along side with other veteran actor and actress..
Another line that shook me to my core: “My birthmark came from when I shot myself with a gun.” That one sentence will haunt me forever. It’s rare for a single line to carry so much weight, but this one… it broke something in me.
Even the little details, like the scene in the grocery store where Dean and Pharm shared an intense eye-to-eye moment so simple, yet incredibly powerful. And let’s not forget the background music, which perfectly complemented every scene and emotion. It elevated the entire experience.
The "Red Thread of Fate" concept was genius so symbolic, so meaningful. I kept wondering how the story would end, and I’m so happy that it didn’t disappoint. Unlike other series that leave you confused or unsatisfied, Until We Meet Again delivered a beautiful, satisfying ending that stayed true to its heart.
I wholeheartedly recommend this series to everyone. It’s a story of love, pain, healing, and destiny that you should not miss. To the entire cast, the writers, the producers, and the director, kudos to all of you. You’ve created something truly unforgettable.
10/10- A masterpiece I will never forget.

Reincarnation
I like the concept of The reincarnation but the story developed a little too slowly. it took me a while to understand Pharm and Dean were Intouch and Korn. However near the end where we see them remember and the twist of them being born into each other's family was an amazing reveal and very well done. I wish we seen more of Intouch and Korn's family reaction to finding out about Intouch and Korn's reincarnation. I love Win and Teams relationship, even thought we only got a glimpse of those two.Was this review helpful to you?
Viewer Discretion but LOVE
I love this series. I will say it starts off pretty hard and has many trigger warnings. If suicide is a hard topic for you, steer clear. Otherwise go watch it! Its an amazing show that had me in tears many times. Though it is emotional, it also has some pretty funny moments as well. And if you feel confused while watching it, just have patience. They explain everything in time and its actually really well done. Also pay attention to Prem and Bouns characters because you will see them again in "Between us", which is a spin off show that takes place at exactly the same time but focusing on their relationship. I actually like Between us even more but you have to watch this one first.Was this review helpful to you?
To the Screen Writer New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul.. BRAVO!!!
My thoughts regarding: "Until We Meet Again."Deserves no less than 10 Stars
By the end of this drama... I flooded my room with tears.
Excellent Casting of Fluke, Earth, Ohm Outstanding connection with their characters and also
to the rest of the Amazing Casts Thank you for all your hard work.
Having previously watched the side story, "Between Us," I was initially undecided about starting this series. However, after completing it, I found the connection between the two stories deeply moving, though I believe watching them in chronological order would have offered a more seamless experience.
The casting is exceptional, and I would personally rate it ten stars. Sammy (Manow) brings a charismatic, bubbly energy that provides a wonderful sense of sunshine to the narrative. Furthermore, Earth (Intouch) and Fluke (Pharm) are perfectly matched; Earth’s portrayal of Intouch was heartwarming and bringing a unique color to the character that balances the emotional weight of the story.
***I wanted to take a moment away from my review to share some thoughts on a topic I frequently see discussed within the BL fandom. There is an ongoing conversation regarding the presentation of BL couples, whether in real-life pairings or within dramas, specifically concerning physical aesthetics and gender expression.
I have noticed many fans expressing that they find feminine-presenting males less appealing in these roles, arguing instead that muscular men are more "shippable" or visually preferable as a couple.
In my personal opinion, I don't believe that every BL relationship is looking for a traditionally masculine partner. There are many handsome, muscular men who truly adore and prefer their partners to have a more feminine expression.
My opinion that those who criticize gay or queer men for how they choose to express themselves are walking a very thin line. In my view, this criticism can lean toward homophobia, even when it comes from within the LGBTQ+ community. Those within the community should understand how difficult life can already be; there is no reason to make it harder for someone who is confident in their identity and proud of who they are. If anything, the most significant support should come from within the community itself. ***
Back to the drama review: The plot’s exploration of reincarnation and the tragic history of Korn and Intouch is incredibly poignant. The narrative successfully captures the heavy emotional toll of carrying memories from a past life, especially the sorrow and fear that radiate through Pharm. The series also touches on the profound impact of parental pressure, highlighting the injustice of restricting a child's identity and their right to love.
Despite the heavy themes, the relationship between Dean and Pharm is a highlight—the chemistry between Ohm and Fluke is captivating, making their scenes together genuinely heartwarming. While there were minor technical and sound issues throughout the production, the overall quality of the storytelling and acting makes this a series I highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
Stay Healthy, Happy & Amazing 😁

I'm not crying; you're crying.
I had the chance to watch this during its initial airing, but after seeing the first 10 minutes it was an instant-no for me. Years later, I circled back and saw how beloved the drama was. For me, the topics approached in the drama, particularly in that opening scene, are especially sensitive.I am glad I gave it another go and pushed past that initial gut response. First off, it hits one of my favorite tropes (which isn't done often, and when it is done, it's not usually done well)--reincarnation. I thought they handled that beautifully, pairing in the layers with family. It aligned the elements of food to have a common thread (hah), but I do wish some of the other scenes had a more fluid alignment (like mirroring the past, but different).
I've commented in other reviews I don't usually care much for music in dramas, but this one was actually pretty good and did add to the scenes usually (though the doom song, as I call it, did feel overused at some points).
I think my biggest gripe with the story is actually the interaction with Dean and Pharm in the last episode. It felt unnecessary to me and that they could've handled Pharm's concerns differently. I also got annoyed with Pharm's reactions to intimacy. It often felt dub-con-y, even though it isn't meant to be at all.
Outside of those things, the acting was really great and they did emotional scenes beautifully. It may have been cool to see the families come together, but I can live without that.

Really good story but I didn't get into the main couple
The story line is something new and outstanding what you haven't seen before. It is well written and makes sense. My biggest problem with this whole show was that I didn't feel anything about the main couple (Dean and Pharm). I didn't see much chemistry and at some points I even found it a bit cringe. For me the best thing were Win and Team. With their first scene together I started shipping them and in my opinion they had the best chemistry. They saved this series for me and without them I might even have dropped this series. I loved them and their scenes and was very sad, that they had not much screen time (I'm really looking forward to their own series).So all in all: If you like the main couple this is an amazing show, but if you don't like them you will maybe not feel with them and the whole story, but the side couple is amazing.

Beautiful Drama full of substance and tears.
Wow I’m blown away, I had not cried that much since I watched, Eternal Yesterday. It shows that suicide truly has no winners and everything we do comes back eventually. I’ve always believed in reincarnation so this drama resonates in a deeper way for me. On one hand I say just let people be happy no matter who they choose to be with while on the other I realize it was the late eighties so a different time. This drama was about an impossible situation that destiny sorted out in the end. It’s tough to rewatch because of how emotionally charged it is but I certainly will in the future.Was this review helpful to you?

Had potential
Okay, so, I won’t lie, this is probably my least favourite BL I’ve ever seen. I stuck with it and watched the whole show, and whilst it did have moments where I felt emotional, maybe shed a wee tear or cheered, but I think I spent at least 85% of my time just wishing the show would just get on with it.This series is S L O W; and I don’t just mean a slow burn, I mean everything. I literally counted the time during the many, many scenes of random staring, pausing or just sheer nothing. A few times I thought the screen had frozen, but no, it was just another overlong shot of someone’s face doing nothing.
The concept of the series is a fantastic one, which is of course its major draw, but the lead characters were just…gosh, I don’t know how to even describe it. I didn’t dislike them; Intouch was just a bit irritating to me; Pharm was more like a nervous 12 year old boy; and Dean had one facial expression for the entirety of the show. (These are all my personal opinions; I mean no shade to the cast or anyone who likes the show!) I also felt super uncomfortable with how Dean could be with Pharm? Like, it felt like he forced him to come out to his mother, and would often push Pharm’s boundaries a little too much so that it didn’t feel cute, it felt like bullying. However, I do admit that some of these feelings could be from poor translation from Thai to English; of course there’s a language and culture barrier for me, so perhaps things I interpreted as unusual or uncomfortable was just my own cultural issues (if that makes sense?).
I also felt like other than the reincarnation thing, there was no real connection between Dean and Pharm, which kinda made the whole relationship feel a little hollow to me.
I’ll be honest, by the end I was only watching for the crumbs of Win/Team and the queen that is Manaow. I actually originally watched the show because I’d came across Between Us and wanted to watch its parent show before checking it out.
All that said, I still did actually like the show, but it could have been edited down to ten episodes or less if you take away the long stares and pointless moments. I would like to congratulate whoever was in charge of product placement, though, because it gave me a right giggle whenever Win pulled out a bag of Lays or Manoaw needed ‘a makeup break’.
I think the over all theme, the meaning of the show is very powerful. Showing the generational trauma caused by homophobia in the way it did is something quite different to what I think we’re all used to, and it was very good. It’s just a shame that it wasn’t as polished as it could have been.

I RECOMMEND IT ?
Believe me when I say, I am perhaps the most discerning individual you will encounter. My preferences are distinct, and my tastes are specific. By a stroke of luck, I stumbled upon this BL series. The comments were mixed—some viewers had abandoned it repeatedly, others had fast-forwarded through episodes. Yet, there was an indescribable allure that captivated me, compelling me to give it a chance. I looked it up, eagerly downloaded the episodes and immersed myself in the narrative. Far from dull, the plot was captivating. As someone who subscribes to the notion of reincarnation, I found the portrayal of the theme deeply resonant. The actors’ performances were stellar, their on-screen chemistry, utterly enchanting—I savored every moment.In most dramas, I find a connection with a single character, but in an amusing twist, I related to two in this series—P’Dean and P’Pharm. They are, in essence, a reflection of myself.
P’Pharm, with his radiant smile and maximum cuteness, exudes an innocence akin to that of a child. His expressions were flawless. Were I in Dean’s shoes, I too would seize every opportunity to tease him, just to witness his reactions. His laughter was infectious, his demeanor, endearing—who could resist his charm?
P’Dean, on the other hand, was like gazing into my reflection in a mirror. His initial interactions with his siblings, his reserved demeanor among others, and the warmth he reserved for his beloved were all too familiar. Despite appearances, Dean was quite the charmer. The intensity of his gaze when it fell upon P’Pharm was transformative—a testament to the actor’s skill.
Manaow was a revelation—always accompanied by her makeup bag, she epitomized the ideal friend. Her reactions to the central couple’s romance were priceless. She was a delight.
Win and Team added their own sweetness to the mix.
Korn and Intouch’s journey was fraught with challenges, but fortunately, destiny favored them, reuniting them in the end.
The drama was anything but monotonous.
It was a viewing experience I wholeheartedly endorse.
I highly recommend it.

Love this Series!
This series is so amazing on so many levels. The reincarnation of the two souls and how people in their lives in their own way see those same past-life souls in the characters are amazing. The acting is great and the chemistry that each couple and their friends have is great. To me, this was a great job of showing acting skills showing how a truly good actor can show emotion and different personalities in one person. This had all the beauty I love to see in a BL. I can't wait to see their friends get to tell their own stories. This was a beautiful story told by a great cast. I totally want more.Was this review helpful to you?
