BL that manages to be more than than BL in some ways

In a nutshell:

The story is interesting though some may bemoan the style the serial doesn't seem to have a major conflict 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 virtually this series because it doesn't always tell the story in an in-your-face way. Only 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 trouble to their relationship, the tension and suspense congenital could accept maintained the involvement of more viewers.

In a coconut trounce:

The series 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 result of parental objections to their human relationship because of their sexual orientation, a rather serious consequence compared to popular BL series that care for the topic of objecting parents less seriously (e.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 not all that persistent, makes information technology unlike from a lot of BL that focus on the couples' human relationship without such a strong regard for the club in which the story is set). Where the Dean/Pharm story is concerned, the utilize of mutual BL tropes (like a "straight" guy falling in love with another guy) is rather sparing. This may be a good matter, but the side couple (WinTeam) may appeal to BL fans more and may exist more conventionally BL.

In the parts of the story that utilise mutual 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 swimming squad do not seem to bat an eyelid when their captain brings his boyfriend with him on a squad outing are where BL fans find themselves in familiar terrain, though we tin can approximate how often that happens in real life in Thailand. Interestingly, these elements seem to be used to contrast by and present, making a point well-nigh how increased openness towards homosexuality in lodge makes a huge difference for same-sexual practice couples and even the two fathers who live in regret after their sons' deaths. The lodge in the Dean/Pharm parts of the story feels much less oppressive that the atmosphere in the Korn/In story. We tin come across this from the minor characters' behaviours: whereas Pharm's friends accept and encourage his human relationship with Dean, In'southward proficient friend only 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 be a blitz 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 find UWMA to be rather slow-moving or that information technology's not clear where the story is going, I have a different opinion. In fact, the story is fairly well-paced, with the flashbacks seldom being unnatural as they bear witness the parallels between the previous lives and the present lives. I suppose one matter that frustrates some viewers is the fashion the Dean/Pharm storyline doesn't seem to have whatever obvious conflict for a large part of the serial, which may requite the impression that information technology is going nowhere. However, I similar the manner events are foreshadowed and how the characters slowly recall and come to terms with their by lives. Equally I watched each episode on a YouTube playlist, I get to the last role before I know information technology (it's quite a different feel when information technology comes to series like I Am Your Male monarch Season 2).

Another aspect of the serial that I like is how Dean and Pharm take different personalities from their by lives. The differences are more subtle in Dean, who seems calmer but too more determined to make his relationship piece of work out than Korn. As for Pharm, while he's conspicuously attracted to and in beloved with Dean, he does not rush into the relationship. As a actually good melt, Pharm is prepare apart from In who cannot cook to salvage his life. This divergence isn't but 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 see more than passion between Korn and In, we see more tenderness betwixt Dean and Pharm. The interplay betwixt the parallels and differences indirectly creates suspense: will the couple finally have a happy ending, or will history repeat itself? Most of the fourth dimension, the story seems geared towards a happy ending merely there is foreshadowing of a trouble to come up, particularly in a scene where a monk reminds the couple of the importance of forgiveness. In the terminate, we meet that Dean/Pharm must reconcile with the people in their by lives and settle their unfinished business before moving on equally themselves in their present lives. It seems paradoxical in the end, merely information technology makes sense: Dean and Pharm take caused 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 terminal episode with Dean and Pharm dreaming of Korn and In equally third parties and non as themselves for once shows that they have finally managed to motion on as Dean and Pharm, not reincarnations of Korn and In.)

I also love WinTeam in this series although information technology often looks like the WinTeam scenes are a teaser/test for a possible Flavour 2 which will focus on them. I would dear to sentinel a Season two with WinTeam equally the focus though even with the same production team, I believe a Season two with WinTeam will be enjoyable in a rather unlike mode. If this series doesn't appeal to you lot, you could even so give Flavour 2 a run a risk if it is fabricated.

Edit: Subsequently considering why I've been feeling that something is a little lacking in this series despite my love for it, I realize that there 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 first sight because of their past lives, so we tin but look to Korn and In. But while nosotros can see the depth of Korn and In's love, we don't see plenty of what makes their love so potent. Our involvement in their story would be stronger if there had been a bit more than showing Korn and In's love for each other.
