BL that manages to be more than than BL in some ways
In a nutshell:
The story is interesting though some may bemoan the manner the series doesn't seem to have a major conflict or indicate of tension for quite a few episodes. However, the series never feels slow or boring to me. At that place is a lot to dearest about this serial considering it doesn't e'er tell the story in an in-your-face manner. But this could well be its weakness likewise. For example, if it had emphasized how one of the principal 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 trounce:
The series starts with the tragic double suicide of Korn/In, certainly not the lighthearted schoolboys-autumn-in-love stuff that is and then mutual in BL (though the characters are students). The double suicide is the upshot of parental objections to their relationship because of their sexual orientation, a rather serious consequence compared to popular BL serial that treat the topic of objecting parents less seriously (e.k. Together with Me: The Next Affiliate in which the parents change their minds, and Dark Blueish Kiss in which the parents are surprisingly open-minded). The seriousness in tone, though not all that persistent, makes it different from a lot of BL that focus on the couples' relationship without such a potent regard for the society in which the story is prepare). Where the Dean/Pharm story is concerned, the use of common BL tropes (like a "straight" guy falling in beloved with another guy) is rather sparing. This may be a good thing, but the side couple (WinTeam) may entreatment to BL fans more than and may be more conventionally BL.
In the parts of the story that use mutual BL tropes, the series does become more than like BL and somewhat less realistic. The inclusion of a BL fangirl of sorts (Manaow) and the way Dean's swimming squad exercise not seem to bat an eyelid when their captain brings his swain with him on a squad outing are where BL fans find themselves in familiar terrain, though nosotros can judge how oft that happens in real life in Thailand. Interestingly, these elements seem to be used to dissimilarity past and present, making a point most how increased openness towards homosexuality in society makes a huge difference for aforementioned-sex activity couples and even the two 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. We tin can come across this from the minor characters' behaviours: whereas Pharm's friends have 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 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. In that location 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 wearisome-moving or that information technology's not clear where the story is going, I have a different stance. In fact, the story is fairly well-paced, with the flashbacks seldom beingness unnatural every bit they show the parallels between the previous lives and the nowadays lives. I suppose 1 matter that frustrates some viewers is the fashion the Dean/Pharm storyline doesn't seem to have any obvious conflict for a big function of the series, which may give the impression that it is going nowhere. All the same, I like the way events are foreshadowed and how the characters slowly recall and come up to terms with their by lives. As I watched each episode on a YouTube playlist, I become to the last function before I know information technology (it'southward quite a different experience when it comes to series like I Am Your King Season 2).
Another aspect of the series that I similar is how Dean and Pharm accept different personalities from their past lives. The differences are more subtle in Dean, who seems calmer but also more than adamant to brand his relationship work out than Korn. As for Pharm, while he'south conspicuously attracted to and in beloved with Dean, he does not rush into the relationship. As a really good melt, Pharm is gear up apart from In who cannot cook to salve 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 besides. While we run into more than passion betwixt Korn and In, we see more than tenderness betwixt 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 fourth dimension, the story seems geared towards a happy ending merely there 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 run across that Dean/Pharm must reconcile with the people in their past lives and settle their unfinished business before moving on as themselves in their present lives. Information technology 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 notwithstanding exist able detach themselves from their by lives. (An interesting scene in the last episode with Dean and Pharm dreaming of Korn and In as third parties and not every bit themselves for one time shows that they have finally managed to move on as Dean and Pharm, not reincarnations of Korn and In.)
I as well love WinTeam in this series although it oft looks like the WinTeam scenes are a teaser/test for a possible Flavor ii which will focus on them. I would love to picket a Flavour ii with WinTeam as the focus though even with the aforementioned product team, I believe a Season two with WinTeam volition be enjoyable in a rather dissimilar way. If this serial doesn't appeal to you, you could still give Flavour two a risk if it is made.
Edit: Later on 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 similar the other is the ane on first sight because of their by lives, then we can only expect to Korn and In. But while we tin see the depth of Korn and In's love, we don't come across enough of what makes their love so strong. Our interest in their story would be stronger if there had been a bit more showing Korn and In's beloved for each other.
