BL that manages to be more than BL in some means

In a nutshell:

The story is interesting though some may bemoan the way the series doesn't seem to have a major disharmonize or bespeak of tension for quite a few episodes. However, the series never feels boring or tedious to me. There is a lot to dear virtually 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 it had emphasized how one of the main characters' (Pharm) incomplete recollection of his previous life early could pose a problem to their human relationship, the tension and suspense built could have maintained the interest of more viewers.

In a coconut shell:

The series starts with the tragic double suicide of Korn/In, certainly non the lighthearted schoolboys-fall-in-dearest stuff that is then common in BL (though the characters are students). The double suicide is the issue of parental objections to their relationship because of their sexual orientation, a rather serious result compared to popular BL serial that treat the topic of objecting parents less seriously (east.g. Together with Me: The Next Chapter in which the parents change their minds, and Dark Bluish Kiss in which the parents are surprisingly open-minded). The seriousness in tone, though non all that persistent, makes it different from a lot of BL that focus on the couples' relationship without such a strong regard for the society in which the story is set). Where the Dean/Pharm story is concerned, the apply of common BL tropes (like 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 employ common BL tropes, the series does get more like BL and somewhat less realistic. The inclusion of a BL fangirl of sorts (Manaow) and the way Dean's pond team do not seem to bat an eyelid when their captain brings his young man with him on a squad outing are where BL fans find themselves in familiar terrain, though we can guess how oftentimes that happens in real life in Thailand. Interestingly, these elements seem to exist used to contrast past and present, making a point about how increased openness towards homosexuality in club makes a huge difference for same-sex couples and even the 2 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 temper in the Korn/In story. Nosotros can come across this from the minor characters' behaviours: whereas Pharm's friends take and encourage his relationship with Dean, In's good friend only quietly feels happy for him when he sees In together with Korn. Such subtle touches brand the story rather interesting and worth re-watching.

At that place 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 activity scenes nor an aversion to them. Although a number of viewers seem to find UWMA to be rather slow-moving or that it's not clear where the story is going, I have a different stance. In fact, the story is adequately well-paced, with the flashbacks seldom being unnatural as they show the parallels between the previous lives and the present lives. I suppose one affair that frustrates some viewers is the way the Dean/Pharm storyline doesn't seem to have any obvious conflict for a large role of the series, which may give the impression that it is going nowhere. However, I like the way events are foreshadowed and how the characters slowly recall and come to terms with their by lives. Every bit I watched each episode on a YouTube playlist, I get to the last part before I know it (it's quite a different feel when information technology comes to series like I Am Your Rex Season 2).

Another aspect of the series that I like is how Dean and Pharm have unlike personalities from their past lives. The differences are more subtle in Dean, who seems calmer but as well more determined to make his human relationship piece of work out than Korn. Every bit for Pharm, while he's clearly attracted to and in love with Dean, he does not rush into the relationship. As a actually skilful cook, Pharm is set apart from In who cannot melt 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 take "learnt" something from their previous lives. The dynamics of their relationship are somewhat different too. While we see more passion between Korn and In, we encounter more tenderness between Dean and Pharm. The interplay between the parallels and differences indirectly creates suspense: volition the couple finally have a happy catastrophe, or volition history repeat itself? Most of the fourth dimension, the story seems geared towards a happy catastrophe but at that place is foreshadowing of a trouble to come, especially in a scene where a monk reminds the couple of the importance of forgiveness. In the end, we see that Dean/Pharm must reconcile with the people in their by lives and settle their unfinished business before moving on as themselves in their nowadays lives. It seems paradoxical in the end, only information technology makes sense: Dean and Pharm take 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 disassemble themselves from their past lives. (An interesting scene in the last episode with Dean and Pharm dreaming of Korn and In as tertiary parties and non 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 honey WinTeam in this series although information technology oftentimes looks similar the WinTeam scenes are a teaser/test for a possible Season 2 which will focus on them. I would dearest to watch a Season ii with WinTeam equally the focus though fifty-fifty with the same product team, I believe a Flavour two with WinTeam volition be enjoyable in a rather different way. If this series doesn't appeal to you, you could however give Season 2 a chance if it is made.

Edit: Later considering why I've been feeling that something is a little lacking in this serial despite my dearest for it, I realize that in that location isn't that much on how the characters fall in love. For Dean and Pharm, each immediately feels like the other is the one on offset sight because of their past lives, so we can only expect to Korn and In. Simply while nosotros can run across the depth of Korn and In'south dearest, nosotros don't see enough of what makes their love then strong. Our involvement in their story would be stronger if there had been a bit more than showing Korn and In's dear for each other.
