BL that manages to be more BL in some ways

In a nutshell:

The story is interesting though some may bemoan the style the series doesn't seem to take a major disharmonize or point of tension for quite a few episodes. Nevertheless, the series never feels slow or boring to me. There is a lot to love about this series because it doesn't always tell the story in an in-your-face manner. But this could well be its weakness too. For example, if information technology had emphasized how one of the main characters' (Pharm) incomplete recollection of his previous life early could pose a problem to their relationship, the tension and suspense built could have maintained the involvement of more viewers.

In a coconut shell:

The serial starts with the tragic double suicide of Korn/In, certainly not the lighthearted schoolboys-fall-in-love stuff that is so common in BL (though the characters are students). The double suicide is the issue of parental objections to their human relationship considering of their sexual orientation, a rather serious consequence compared to pop BL series that care for the topic of objecting parents less seriously (e.grand. Together with Me: The Next Affiliate in which the parents change their minds, and Dark Blue Kiss in which the parents are surprisingly open up-minded). The seriousness in tone, though not all that persistent, makes information technology different from a lot of BL that focus on the couples' relationship without such a stiff regard for the gild in which the story is set). Where the Dean/Pharm story is concerned, the use of mutual BL tropes (similar a "straight" guy falling in love with another guy) is rather sparing. This may be a good thing, but the side couple (WinTeam) may appeal to BL fans more than and may be more conventionally BL.

In the parts of the story that use common BL tropes, the series does go more like BL and somewhat less realistic. The inclusion of a BL fangirl of sorts (Manaow) and the way Dean's pond squad do not seem to bat an eyelid when their captain brings his beau with him on a team outing are where BL fans find themselves in familiar terrain, though we can guess how often that happens in existent life in Thailand. Interestingly, these elements seem to exist used to contrast past and present, making a point almost how increased openness towards homosexuality in society makes a huge difference for aforementioned-sex couples and even the ii fathers who live in regret after their sons' deaths. The society in the Dean/Pharm parts of the story feels much less oppressive that the atmosphere in the Korn/In story. Nosotros can see this from the minor characters' behaviours: whereas Pharm's friends accept and encourage his relationship with Dean, In'due south good friend just quietly feels happy for him when he sees In together with Korn. Such subtle touches make the story rather interesting and worth re-watching.

There doesn't seem to exist a rush to bring the plot to new heights of tension. There is neither an excessive preoccupation with kissing and sex scenes nor an aversion to them. Although a number of viewers seem to observe UWMA to be rather slow-moving or that it'south not clear where the story is going, I take a unlike opinion. In fact, the story is fairly well-paced, with the flashbacks seldom being unnatural as they show the parallels betwixt the previous lives and the nowadays lives. I suppose 1 thing that frustrates some viewers is the way the Dean/Pharm storyline doesn't seem to have any obvious conflict for a large part of the serial, which may give the impression that it is going nowhere. Yet, I like the way events are foreshadowed and how the characters slowly recall and come to terms with their by lives. As I watched each episode on a YouTube playlist, I become to the terminal part before I know it (information technology'south quite a different experience when it comes to series like I Am Your King Season 2).

Another attribute of the series that I like is how Dean and Pharm accept unlike personalities from their past lives. The differences are more than subtle in Dean, who seems calmer but also more determined to brand his human relationship work out than Korn. As for Pharm, while he's conspicuously attracted to and in love with Dean, he does not rush into the human relationship. As a really expert cook, Pharm is fix autonomously from In who cannot cook to save his life. This difference isn't merely superficial for the patience and skill with which he cooks indicates a different personality. Both Dean and Pharm seem to have "learnt" something from their previous lives. The dynamics of their relationship are somewhat different too. While we come across more passion between Korn and In, nosotros see more tenderness between Dean and Pharm. The interplay between the parallels and differences indirectly creates suspense: will the couple finally have a happy ending, or will history repeat itself? Most of the time, the story seems geared towards a happy ending but there is foreshadowing of a trouble to come, specially in a scene where a monk reminds the couple of the importance of forgiveness. In the end, we encounter that Dean/Pharm must reconcile with the people in their past lives and settle their unfinished business concern before moving on as themselves in their present lives. It seems paradoxical in the end, but it makes sense: Dean and Pharm have acquired new identities and cannot be living in the shadows of Korn and In forever, so while accepting that they are reincarnations of Korn and In, they must still exist able detach themselves from their past lives. (An interesting scene in the last episode with Dean and Pharm dreaming of Korn and In every bit third parties and not as themselves for once shows that they have finally managed to move on as Dean and Pharm, not reincarnations of Korn and In.)

I also dear WinTeam in this series although it often looks like the WinTeam scenes are a teaser/exam for a possible Flavor 2 which will focus on them. I would love to watch a Flavour 2 with WinTeam as the focus though even with the same product squad, I believe a Season ii with WinTeam will exist enjoyable in a rather different way. If this series doesn't appeal to you lot, you could still give Season two a chance if it is fabricated.

Edit: After because why I've been feeling that something is a little lacking in this series despite my dearest for it, I realize that at that place isn't that much on how the characters fall in dearest. For Dean and Pharm, each immediately feels like the other is the ane on commencement sight because of their by lives, so we can merely look to Korn and In. But while we tin run across the depth of Korn and In'south love, we don't see enough of what makes their love so strong. Our involvement in their story would be stronger if there had been a flake more showing Korn and In's love for each other.
