Cute Moments Between Team & Win
Overall: Cute, short episodes (between 4-6 minutes) with two or three skits per episode.Content Warnings: body shaming, kicking a person off of a bed
What I Liked:
- the "warning" is really funny at the beginning of each episode
- many of the skits are cute
- the product placements were pretty well done (that baby powder one lol)
- the second skit of the 5th episode was awesome
Room For Improvement: (minor spoilers)
- even those these aren't meant to have a continuous plot, if they had put the last skit in the first episode as the first one, it would have made more sense
- I really disliked the 1st skit in the 3rd episode, Win continues to poke at Team's belly after Team asks him to stop multiple times. This skit was major cringe in a bad way, leave Team and his belly alone!
- disliked Win kicking Team off of the bed
- the comedic song for the final skit in the fourth episode didn't fit the vibe of that skit
- I wish Team was more into things, didn't like him wiping off the kiss in ep 5
- it is definitely lower budget camera/camerawork, I'm sure it was done with a very small crew

Really sweet
There's a small warning in the beginning, "This project started because we want to do it. There's no any other reason. There's no drama. There's only fun and confusion. We just want to do it, so don't expect a meaningful story. Even if you want to find it, you can't find it. But if you want to find our cuteness, you will definitely see it." This is so true. While there's no "meaningful story," as they put it, it's still super sweet and endearing to watch. Each episode is only ~5 minutes, and they're all small compilations of just cute, mundane moments between Team and Win. Honestly, it made my day to watch these, and I'll probably rewatch just before Between Us comes out in 2022 (and maybe in between if there's any drama that makes me cry, haha).Note: There was some body-shaming in the 3rd episode that I wasn't a huge fan of, but other than that I enjoyed these episodes!
Just watch it if you want pure sugar <3

Cute at least
The disclaimer at the beginning of each episode is to be taken to heart because there really isn't any substance here.Never the less, I actually still enjoyed it, it was simply some cute moments between Team and Win which was enough to keep me watching. No story or anything to follow just moments to make you smile. The episodes are extremely short, so I didn't feel like I wasted any time on it. The both actors are good, which gave them some authenticity and they are written in their same character space as in Until We Meet Again, so it made them familiar. Team also still has that "don't touch me there" feeling to him, so it was funny and cute in combination. This made me happy to see that they didn't just write them to be overly sexed up. Pure cuteness with a tad of fan service.
It held true to the disclaimer.

Pure Fluff
A special gift for BounPrem/PremBoun fans who are still waiting for the whole series. This doesn't really have a plot as stated on the beginning of each episode, but it will keep the hype of the fans.The only thing I don't like in this special is that the way Win kind of fatshamed Team for gaining weight, I mean,,, isn't that normal since it's still pandemic and the pools are closed due to health restrictions? And also the way Win kicks Team out of the bed oh god,,, I hope there won't be any scenes like this in the full series.

No meaningful story, only cuteness and fun ! 30 minutes of fluff worth the watch !
After finishing the drama "Between Us", I was compelled to watch this very short drama special of 6 episodes of 5 minutes around the main couple of this series.As stated by one of the actor himself, as a prologue to each short episode: "This project started because we want to do it. There is no any other reason, there is no drama. There is only fun and confusion. We just want to do it, so don't expect a meaningful story. Even if you want to find it, you can't find it. But if you want to find our cuteness, you will definitely see it. I've warned you!"
The above statement depicts perfectly this SP: it has not plot, no rhyme or reason, and is made only cute scenes and moments of fluff between Win and Team. There are adorable and it is a very relaxing, easy and enjoyable watch.
I would recommend this to people that love the main actors and or the BL series in which those characters are evolving such as "Between Us" (or even its parent show "Until We Meet Again" that I have not seen (-yet)).

This was too short to be even called a drama, just 6 episodes, 5 or so minutes each, all fluff and no plot. I guess they filmed this to keep up the interest in the drama during Covid times? In any case, it was very fluffy which is not a bad thing. But.Some of the tidbits made Team seem too childish and kid-like even. I mean, in UWMA, he wasn't the brightest bulb in the box but some of these eps took it a bit too far for my liking. Oh well.
At the same time, I did like a lot that they did keep up the continuity of Team's insomnia, even in such a fluffy concept.

Just a Cute Filler Until Covid-19 Ends and They can Film Between US the Series
Between Us Special is just a filler until they can film the series that was pushed back due to Covid-19.~~ STORY ~~
There is no real story. It is only cute clips between Team and Win showing off some aspects of their daily lives.
I would go as far as saying that this is more for Boun and Prem fans than anything else. They try to keep with the UWMA characters, but it's just fan service episodes more than anything. There is no plot to it.
Also, since I just came to watch the specials after rewatching UWMA, I noticed that Win and Team are a little different from their UWMA counter parts. Yes, they don't have any big changes to their characters, but I found that the specials really made Team look stupid when in UWMA he wasn't really stupid. I don't remember Team being stupid, he was very intelligent and awkward more than anything. Win wasn't too different, but he did have some changes. I noticed Win's teasing of Team was a little too playful and maybe even mean compared to UWMA. Win's style of teasing was very flirty in UWMA and he was never mean to Team.
On a side note, I read other reviews going on about Win kicking Team off the bed, and about him teasing Team for gaining weight... Just stop. We don't need the moral police here. Yes, Win shouldn't have done either, but who hasn't been pushed off the bed or teased about their weight by their friends or family? It's very realistic. Also, it's just a one-off thing that Win does, so stop going on about it as if he's abusing Team or something.
~~ Overall ~~
Between Us Special was a fun watch. It does the job of making us want to see more of Team and Win while their series is delayed. That being said, I don't think I will rewatch this any time soon. I prefer plot driven storylines and since this is more fanservice than plot, I wasn't a fan. It's very cute and a great one time watch between UWMA and Between Us the series. I can't wait to watch them together again soon.

It's so CUTE!
I know it came out before the series, but I'll take this as being canon after they start to date. Because, it's so cute and fluffy. The warning at the beginning of the episodes was totally accurate. Love this, love them! I want to see them in so many more things! I honestly am not sure how to describe how much I love the show, but this truly sealed it for me. I need so so so much more Boun and Prem content. <3Also, I'm super glad they kept the various elements shown here in the actual show.
A lot of people didn't like the show for some reason but I loved it because it showed a lot of elements of realism that's missing from a lot other shows. The way people deal with trauma or how people cope with overwhelming feelings of love and loss.
Boun and Prem are great actors as well! <3

CUTENESS ATTACK!!!
Well I love me myself some BounPrem moment so- yeah. This is actually a teaser for Between Us the series. The director put a disclaimer that they did this just for fun and there will be no drama but then at the end of final episode of this skit, they shows a poster for Between Us the series coming soon and MIND YOU. BounPrem is the expensive paid BL actor in MeMind Agency so there is no 'JUST FOR FUN' skit. LOL. Anyway, I love these short videos and yeah! Love it <3 Though I would advise you to go watch this series first before watch Between Us the series so you can gobble up the cuteness in this series before watch the real deal in the Between Us the series.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and fluffy
It’s a collection of cute little moments between Win and Team. I think that when it comes to the story timeline, this special would come after the end of between us. There is not much of a story to the whole thing, but that’s okay. The little note at the start of each episode does let us know it’s mostly just done for fun and is meant to be cute, not have a storyline. And the chemistry between Boun and Prem is something that can't be denied.I found this moments between Team and Win absolutely adorable. It’s an aspect of the couples that I often miss in the regular series – the little moments of living together. They might seem very mundane, but they made it so cute and fluffy. I couldn’t stop smiling at the screen as I watched it.
