Until We Meet Again (2019)

okay?

I have seen better BL drama but this wasn't good nor bad it was ok, don't get me wrong the couples are cute in both the past and next life one but it got confusing for me. Look the couples are seriously cute bit something is missing in this drama and I cannot put my figure on it it wasn't bad it was an okay BL drama but, I don't think I would recommend this to anybody cause this drama confused me with the past life interfering with the present relationship like there are the same guys why the 3-month separation from Dean(Ohm Thitiwat Ritprasert) that made ZERO sense the only thing that was going was the cute moment's hat the couples were together but Jesus christ the sponsorship just kill the mood for me as soon as I get the cute scenes I got the chip Lay don't even get me started on the makeup like seriously the show was blasted with the sponsored I had to skip to get out of the sponsorship ads it was the annoying cause as soon as we get the cute moment someone opens chips and say "I brought for everyone" goddammit but if we look past the sponsor the show was okay. Why was it okay I got confused on it how I taught some sort of incest shit was happening in the drama like how Pharm [Reincarnated In] and Dean [Reincarnated Korn] family was swapped like that shit confused me it would have been better if they were born in the different family then in the past life family cause that shit confused the hell it of me like crazy. anyways look pass the sponsor's ads and the messed up the swapped family the drama was an okay drama.

It hit me so hard..

Far from being perfect, this drama hit me so hard.
As most thai dramas, there are a lot of useless scenes, scenes in which dialogues are so nonsense and only product placement would have saved them, given them a reason to exist.
Then there are all those staring scenes in which chatacters look at each other motionless for what it feels like hours...
Despite this and the entanglement of the plot, I could feel every single emotion displayed..joy, sorrow, anxiety...I found myself wishing for their happiness and suffering for their struggles.
I wish there was a Taiwanese version of this drama...I think it would be a masterpiece!

Une BL super mimi qui m'a tout de suite donné envie de regarder jusqu'au bout ; c'est très touchant, émouvant, j'ai beaucoup pleuré. Les acteurs jouent bien, même si la gêne de Pharm est parfois un peu lourde (mais adorable à la fois) ; l'histoire est poignante, ce drâme m'a vraiment émue. Je trouve que c'est bien réalisé, et les musiques sont très sympas à écouter. Je n'ai pas lu non plus de résumé, j'ai juste fait confiance à une recommandation, et je n'ai pas été déçue. Tous les personnages sont interressants, et la fin est chouette ^^ Je n'ai pas beaucoup regardé de BL, mais en tout cas, l'histoire de ce drama m'a passionnée car le thème fait partie de mes préférences et ça m'a vraiment fait plaisir de voir qu'il s'agissait justement de réincarnation ; de plus, ça me donne envie de m'interresser à la cuisine thaï ! Je vous le recommande, c'est vraiment bien.

Perfect amount of fluff and angst.

This is literally the perfect story brought into a series. It has everything you could look for. Fluff, angst, romanticism, drama, etc.

The plot and storyline, even if it's a bit confusing at first, it's really good and well constructed. The characters fall perfectly into line and everything that happens makes sense during the whole series.

The chemistry and acting of the actors is also amazing, which gives the show a great value. There's no cringey scenes and the intimate ones are well constructed and very touching.

It has perfect sceneries, great plot twists and amazing character developments.

It's literally the perfect soulmate au we've all read about.

The only thing for me now is wait for the second season, which will have the side couple as the main roles and I'm really excited about it since WinTeam were my fave characters. :)

Amazing Plot, Questionable Execution

The reincarnation storyline in this drama may very well be one of the most interesting ones I've seen for a BL (Since there really isn't much diversity). However, even though I had high hopes for this drama, it fell short of my expectations.

Pros:
1) Great storyline idea (Reincarnation)
2) Cute Side Couple (Team and Win ahhhh)
3) Good acting in some scenes (Particularly Pharm in the last epi)
4) Nice music use (esp in first epi around the start). I really like the acapella song in the first epi, brought me to tears though it did get slightly irritating in later scenes.
Cons:
1) Main couple's acting was quite flat, esp Dean IMO. His face didn't really move much throughout the entire show? But his character did not really have much personality so :/ Pharm did relatively well considering the fact that he had to do so many crying scenes.
2) DRAGGY. This is the main reason I did not enjoy this drama. The dialogues were slow with many pauses and there were many unnecessary scenes where nothing was happening. I had to press 'skip' way too many times.
3) Not much chemistry. Though I feel there were cute moments, there wasn't any scene that made my heart flutter and I just did not feel that the to main actors were close at all.
4) Storyline/Plot esp towards the end. The conflict in this drama was put at a very weird point (Not gonna say where in case it's considered a spoiler) and resolving it took like what, 15 mins of the show? The conflict IMO is also slightly illogical though one can reason that Pharm was very overwhelmed by his emotions then, I just don't think it justifies his actions.

All in all, this is a drama that started out great but got boring and deteriorated as the episodes went on.

Nice and refreshing plot

I just recently started watching BL drama … and this one is the only one so far that really « touched » me, soo much that even without realising it I had tears running down my face.

I’ve seen work of Fluke and Ohm before and I like seeing them play together … but in this series it was much more the very excellent acting of Kao and Earth that touched me. There relation was much more intense and not only from the storyline but very much so from their interacting and their chemistry together which felt more sincere and real. These two actors can go very far in this business if they’re well represented.

Refreshing also is the « chaotic » interaction between Boun and Prem. You got to love them immediately … and I did.

For me this series is so far ranked among the best at the same level as « Never let me go » , « Manner of death » and the a bit less serious « Cutie Pie »

This one of a few very interesting story about reincarnation. And they watch over the quality of the story until the end. But still this also need a little bit more explanation too in the end....

This tell story about 2 couple, Korn-Intouch & Dean-Pharm. Korn-Intouch are the preliminary or first couple & Dean-Pharm are the following or second couple. Dean-Pharm are the incarnation of Korn-Intouch.

Korn-Intouch suicide because their relationship wasn't approved by their parents. Korn whose can't take the pressure anymore killed himself first & Intouch following him afterwards cause he just can't live without Korn. And afterwards, their parents tied a red thread in their body, cause legend said it can connect & make them find each other in their next life.

Now Dean & Pharm. Pharm often had sad dreams that wake him with a wet face. When Pharm first saw Dean, he felt sad & had familiar feeling toward him, it's like finding someone he's been waiting for. And turn out Dean himself also has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember. And after met Pharm, Dean also having dream and wake up with a wet face. When the story rolled we get more & more clear view about Dean-Pharm as the incarnation of Korn-Intouch.

How the story evolved? What the tangled things Dean-Pharm need to untangled about Korn-Intouch past life...? How Dean-Pharm relationship progress...? It's all unraveled quite beautifully in this drama. Just leaving me with some questions that they don't quite bothered to explain, or just me being not understand....

What I like:
+ Fluke Natouch Siripongthon is amazing to play Pharm. Especially toward the end when all the crucial memory of Intouch really took over & haunted Pharm.
+ The amazing connection between Korn-Intouch & Dean-Pharm. All the surprise in the end. It just amazing & very interesting...
+ I really like the characteristics of Dean & Pharm. Pharm with his calmness, never really get angry over his friends teasing & Dean with his firmness. They never really get jealous over something stupid. But in my opinion, at the same time this also their shortfall, cause I think sometimes their friend tease too much, but Dean nor Pharm show any irritation / emotion.

Overall this really one good story about the amazing thing about reincarnation or our past lives. For my question I think I'll put in the SPOILER ALERT below.

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
My question:
* What exactly make Intouch so traumatized...? I meman yeah maybe because of their family pressure that make Korn take his own life. But I mean that's just one stupid reason to begin with.
* Why Korn feel the need to apologize to Intouch. Cause he killed himself first and leave Intouch behind...? Nah.... That's also doesn’t make sense.
* One fast flip attitude from Korn's dad. After Korn & Intouch death we can see that their dads really change their attitude completely, like flip 180°. And for me that's not make sense. No one change their attitude that fast, even because of the regrets.

OhmFluke is Life!

Things that I liked about the series:
- First off, the actors/actresses throughout the show were all amazing, especially the main casts. Fluke, who plays Pharm in UWMA, is my favorite actor in all of BL and him playing as Pharm was phenomenal. I felt every emotion he felt and I was rooting for his relationship with Dean.
- The chemistry that both Fluke and Ohm, who plays P'DEEEEEAN, was a sight to behold. The pair just oozed chemistry off the screen, and honestly my favorite ship in all of BL currently.
- Also, and I stand by this 100%. Pharm and Dean have the HEALTHIEST RELATIONSHIP IN BL!! It's rare to see a show where the couple actually talks when something is bothering them, or bring up consent, or protective sex. Please, can we have more of this!?!
- Now let's talk about the storyline. OMG THE STORY IS BRILLIANT!!! This is the best love story I have ever seen in a show or movie, or have ever read in a novel. BL or non-BL this is the best love story ever. Not only that, but the Romeo/Juliet reincarnation concept is so unique and beautifully portrayed. The strong attention to the smallest details that ties the story together, such as the birthmarks on Pharm and Dean's temples, the legend of the Red Thread of Fate (Which is real BTW), even the idea of In and Korn switching families when reincarnated as Pharm and Dean, were all well thought out. A lot of credit goes to the original author of the story Lazysheep for creating this masterpiece of a story.

Things that I didn’t like about the series:
There really isn't much I didn't like.
- I will admit that some scenes dragged on longer than necessary. A lot of people mentioned the long stares that seem to happen throughout the series, and unfortunately, I have to agree with them. The constant staring in silence for long periods of time could've been cut down some. When it happens to Pharm and Dean, I can understand why given that I read the actual novel that the series is based on, but it makes it harder for those who haven't to understand what all is going on in their heads.
- The same could also be said for the flashbacks. In the book, it's mentioned that Pharm and Dean see the flashbacks in their dreams, but the minute they wake up, all the details are left completely blank. It's only until they start spending more time together that the details slowly begin to reveal themselves. But you wouldn't know that unless you either read the book or would've guessed it. When you have a story this complex, it's kind of hard to SHOW the smaller details like this rather than TELLING it, but not showing it leaves viewers in the dark about what's going on.
- Now I love Win and Team as a pair, but I feel like they've stolen the show from Pharm and Dean, which irks me to no end. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but I wish they saved their relationship for the spinoff. I wanted the show to be focused on more of Pharm/Dean and In/Korn.
- I also think things were starting to get repetitive, but at the same time I understand why. I just feel like they could've done more.

Overall Thoughts:
If it wasn't obvious at this point, then let me spell it out for you. I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES! This is a top tier masterpiece in my book, even with the flaws it has. You rarely find a healthy couple like Pharm and Dean in a show, so to see it here was a breath of fresh air. The storyline alone is brilliant, and the cast and crew overall did a great job bringing this story to life. There were a few missteps, but nothing that hindered me from enjoying this series. I laughed, I cried, and gushed, and cried, and cried, and cried some more!! All the tears, I swear! Ohm and Fluke did an amazing job portraying Dean and Pharm, and I hope to see them again in another series. I know they'll be replaying their roles in WinTeam's spinoff, so I'm looking forward to that. This will be a high ranking BL for me, and I fullheartedly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys BL, a complex storyline, and proof that true love conquers all including time.

Rank: 9/10

The Soul's Journey & the Characters it Plays <3

Rated= 8.5~ 36.5/50 ~ 7.3
RPG Scene // Mermaid's Invitation for tea in the Enchanted Forest. Staff summoned all the Food

In my usual awkwardness that has plagued my life, I watched Between Us first, UWMA's sister story showcasing the side couple's journey. And honestly, I actually think I prefer Between Us over this one but that's more to do with it being closer to my own personal tastes. I rated this one slightly higher, so my own personal aesthetics do not take away from how touching the plot is for Until We Meet Again.

The show opens in 1988, with the tragic ends of two lovers, Intouch and Korn driven to suicide by their domineering fathers determined to separate them.
In modern 2019, we meet our MLs, an extremely petite and delightful little cinnamon roll Pharm, a first year at University, and our tall, dark and brooding Dean, President of the swim club. The two connect instantly and slowly begin to piece together their tragic past lives while falling in love.

I usually don't like the constant flashback style type of plot flow. It's too much of an info dump and I find it jarring but they managed to keep it's consistency by being relevant to what was happening to our modern MLs. So it didn't bother me as much.
I absolutely fell in love with Pharm in Between Us and he was just as adorable in this series. Both ML's were very stereotypical however, their relationship was, I found, surprisingly healthy as my usual experience with BL's is very sex driven. This wasn't. The characters started off already with a deep unexplained connection and it was allowed to slowly unravel. Dean was a green flag most of the time and I almost take offense to Pharm being tagged as 'a crybaby male' as his reasons for crying were pretty legit. He was however, a little babied by Dean but I didn't find it too much and it suited the characters and situations.

I did feel like it followed the kind of Japanese BL I would have loved as a kid, and the show's consistent nod to Japanese culture feels like I may have picked up on those vibes a little.

As reincarnation is a theory that I personally believe in, this one hit more of a spiritual cord than my heart strings. A little detail that I really loved was Pharm's signature colour was yellow (one of my favourites too) and Korn is wearing a yellow shirt the night they die. Another detail is how confident and pushy Intouch is vs how soft and meek Pharm is, yet both characters have a generally cheery disposition, or his love for cooking & baking Thai desserts, and how the first thing he ever cooked was an omelette. It's those little details that tie back into the reincarnation belief, that our soul's carry little things from one life to the next, like picking up it's favourite things to bring with it into it's new life. The mind forgets, the body dies but the soul goes on and it takes some of it's memories with it. I personally loved that little touch.

My foresight was strong with this one. I absolutely called those twists LOL because it allows, not only for the ML's to finish their karma but also the family as a whole as well.
I was a little stumbled on how easily the surrounding characters believed in Dean and Pharm being reincarnated loved ones but I suppose it allowed for some healing for those characters, so it's a minor complaint. I would have loved to have seen an outcome for Intouch's bestie who, although only seen 3 times, clearly cared a lot about him and I would have liked to have seen him appear somewhere just as a conclusion for that character.

As for side characters, I think if I had watched this one first, I would still have been in love with Win's character. In fact I actually found him funnier in this one but that's usually the job of the support leads lol

The acting over all was pretty good. It wasn't too over the top despite some of the scenes, and the crying felt natural. Surprisingly, it was actually a scene at the end, when Korn's brother finds his candy in the fridge. That one little scene hit me the hardest perhaps because it was simple. It was a reminder for the viewer, or perhaps just for me as a viewer, that it was those little things, that even though Korn has been reborn and is alive as Dean, Korn is still gone and he left behind two little brothers who had to continue living without him. It's a sad truth within my own spirituality. I may go on to where ever I need to go, but I'll never be me again.

There is, and will only ever be, one of you <3

I have to confess though, that I didn't really like the music. I'm finding that those vocal tracks over emotional moments are the norm for Thai dramas but I found it a little cringey at times with this one. But again, that may be just down to personal tastes as I didn't like the music in general in this show.

Overall, I would have no issue watching this again. Often BL's seem to focus on the BL aspect and everything else is an add on, but this time, it actually focused on the plot, which was reincarnated lovers, and the karma is that they are two men, and I really appreciate that for the genre.

6.5 as a BL drama, 8.0 as a cooking show

So, I started watching UMWA because I wanted to watch Between Us and thought I should watch UMWA first. I definitely recommend doing so, btw.

UMWA's reincarnation plot is interesting, different for sure. The flashbacks to the past are well incoporated, you notice the difference. Maybe that's (also) the reason though, why especially the first half feels so dragged out. It's a long drama, most probably because it it tells us the story of 2 pairs. Simultaenously, it felt too long. I got bored often times. The second half had better pacing but that's because the first half built everything up.
The little angst at the end felt like it cane out of nowhere. I feel like the problem of "Do we really like each other for each other or because of KornIn?" Should have been raised way earlier and dealt with differently.
Besides that, the leads have really cute moments together, besides that I feel like theres not much substance to their pairing. Pharm cooks a lot, I appreciate learning about Thai dessert. And Dean...swims....occasionally....I believe.... 'cause we never see the guy actually training.
Acting wise, I felt like Fluke had three major emotions on his face the first half: *shocked/doesnt know what to say*
*cries*
*smile*
He gets way better in the second half. Ohm's face is working hard, but not on emotions.
I think acting wise I preferred KornIn's leads.

WinTeam is fun, but seems random almost if you don't know they get a whole show besides them.

What the script does really well though is the friendship between Pharm, Team and Manow (Queen!). Very fun to watch.

So overall, it's still a legendary thai BL, you notice how it's a bit older. The style often reminds me of Love Sick/Love by Chance. I think it's enjoyable enough.

An outstanding show

Well, I didn't expect to cry every single episode but I did. The raw emotion the actors are able to project with just a look or their body language is stunning and shows what raw talent this whole cast has. The acting was some of the best I've seen in my limited number of BL's watched, but still amazing.

The friendships in this show were some of my favorite things about it. The relationship between Manow, Team, and Pharm is so wholesome and it feels like the characters have known each other for years instead of months.

I got invested in the side characters almost as much as I was invested in Dean and Pharm, especially Team and Win. I can't wait to watch their series next.

I think the ending felt a little rushed in my opinion. I think one more episode would have helped with the pacing of the show, but everything was wrapped up nicely and I couldn't have asked for a better ending.

I will definitely be following all the actors in this show throughout they're careers, they are a very talented bunch.
