Definetly worth rewatch!
At first I was a little hesitant to watch the series as it had a different kind of story line compared to other BLseries that we used to get. But once I finished watching it, I can assure you this series is an amazing art in itself. Great acting and great directing, some episodes may be disappointing due to its approach to story, but DeanPharm is an amazing work done by both actors and the crew. I watch this series every day before going to bed. It's that good!Was this review helpful to you?
Prepare to cry and be confused
About the first half of the show didn't pull me in completely, but I my curisoity of the plot kept me going, and i'm glad it did. The later part of the series was nothing but tearshed from me lmao. I feel as though Dean didn't get enough screentime of his own at the beginning to express his emotions of experiencing the same thing as Pharm, but as you keep going he gets to show that more. An's actress needs an oscar because I was crying everytime she was lol. Overall the series has an intriguing story and I wish there was more resolution to some of it, but I do recommend this to anyone who likes the star crossed lovers type love stories.Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic
OMG What can I say about UWMA Absolutely outstanding, I have watched this 3 times now And I Love It, Acting is brilliant, Story is excellent, Pharm is absolutely Adorable Can you guess that I loved it, I am sooooo ready to watch it again, It was funny, cute and sad in parts, The writer/director need an award, I loved All the characters, And you also need to watch Between Us which follows Win/Teams relationship That was also excellent My only complaint regarding that is it’s suppose to be set at the same time but Pharms/Teams and Nenows hairstyles are longer. You won’t be disappointed if You watch these 2 series I’m in love with them both Happy Viewing ??Was this review helpful to you?
it is just too good...
it is just too good.I have never watched any BL series like this.
This is too unique.The story is good.
I loved it.
every character were best in their roles.
Many episodes were too sad made us cry.
I never get bored by watching it.
It was released 2-3 years ago but never get old.
It was about soulmate and rebirth and the story is also interesting. Every episode make us curious about next episode.
I love every character especially ohmfluke.
When I watched first episode, I was little confused because I didn't knew that the story was about past life and present life.But after first episode I understood it. There was also many interesting and shocking twist like, 1) They were born in each other family
2) pharm is son of Korn own younger brother.
I love every twist.

some sunny day
My god, this was a lot. The average was an 8.9, but I gave it a 9 because I rounded and it pulled at my heartstrings. First, someone shoots and kills themselves, and then, two minutes later, someone else shoots and kills themselves. As someone who does not read descriptions, I was horribly confused. sad, but confused. As the story progressed, I started to understand it. The chemistry and the acting between everyone involved was so good, it was crazy. I CRIED 4 TIMES. FOUR TIMES. that's a record for like anything. The last two episodes got me three times, and the grandma crying got me. This was an overall very sad drama. It had more happy parts than sad parts, but had a sad undertone from the very beginning. Whoever was on the soundtrack, you need to fucking stop. Bro was making the sad parts even sadder. I love this trio to bits. a chef, an actor, and a swimmer. They are so amazing and were so goddamn funny and relatable—not the star-crossed lovers shit, but other than that, they were so relatable and funny. These actors were so good, and a lot of my favorite actors were in this, so I am biased, but that's fine. If the wheel didn't pick it, I would not have had the mental strength to even look at this show. Bro, I cried when the wheel picked it up. I am glad there was a good ending, but this shit has me crying a lot. I was pissed at the dads so much and just put myself in the shoes of the lovers. I was getting so emotional that I didn't know what to do. I love the way it connects back to everything. This was a crazy good drama, and if anyone wants to watch it, don't be sick and don't eat while watching it. I got so sad that I lost my appetite at some parts. I really recommend this a lot. Okay, on to loving you or whatever, because the wheel said so. Okay bye.Was this review helpful to you?

A Unique Bittersweet BL
Let me just say watching this for the first time with absolutely no context and just boom was just tear-jerking for my part. Story -wise let me just say that this tackles a new approach to many reincarnated dramas I watched. The story may seem confusing, especially the family tree, but aside from that the twist and turns and flashbacks of the past where both wholesome and gives us a bittersweet feeling.Bittersweet because of Intouch and Korn's story, I don't think I could ever forget their story. The actors give their characters the justice it deserved that really gave me a bittersweet feeling that my heart was clenching whenever I see them together on screen because for the most part we already know the ending of their story. What I like as to how their story was how it was shown in the flashback and how Intouch's character became different from Pharm but still has many qualities that makes them similar.
For Pharm and Dean on the other hand, you can really see how the actors were able to showcase the sense of familiarity and longingness from each other. Being able to be reincarnated and live in a time where their love isn't forbidden was the redemption we all needed from the tragedy we experienced on the first episode. What really made me tear up is their official encounter on the supermarket scene that really had me crying.
And the Ost has also became a favourite of mine, not because it was good but because it perfectly fits the scene it was on and at the same time also explain the story for us.

Good show but too slow
This is my first review that I leave here so go easy on me if it’s a little confused.I really wanted to talk about this BL because it could have been easily one of the best ever made, but it isn’t. However there are definitely a lot of positive things that i enjoyed, such as the overall story and most of the characters.
The concept of reincarnation is a very tough one to execute well, but personally I think this show did an amazing job. I didn’t feel like there was something that didn’t make sense about it, because in the end it all connected pretty smoothly.
Even though the acting was a little to over the top for what I like, I really loved the side characters too . They were very funny and every time the main character (Pharm) spent time with them I was so happy to finally get a break from all the crying and the trauma.
What I didn’t enjoy however was how the show was filmed and edited, too much slow mo and scenes where the characters said nothing and just stared into space. I had to watch everything with the 10sec skip button or else I would’ve started to fall asleep. Also the scenes with Intouch and Korn (their past selves) were repeated too often, seeing them just one time was definitely enough, I had to skip most of them.
Another problem is that personally I found that the relationship between the main leads was kind of shallow, but I get it they’re supposed to be soulmates or whatever, and they also addressed this in the last episode, but I would’ve liked to see more of them just genuinely having fun and not always worried about their past lives.
Overall I really liked this show, and I would recommend it to everyone who has time and an high attention span.

This is the BL against which I compare all others
This is the BL and drama against which I compare all other BLs. Although it started a bit slow for me and was a bit confusing at first, I put that down to it being one of the first BLs I watched.After watching this one and being so affected by the story, many other BLs were disappointing.
The actors, director, writers, and production staff did an excellent job.
I have rewatched it several times and am always caught up in the story and amazed at the actors' skill at such young ages.

watched for winteam stayed for winteam
I watched it because of boun and prem. I wouldn't have watched it if it weren't for winteam, manow and del. it wasn't bad just not good in my opinion. they overplayed pharms shyness and at times nanon seemed really uncomfortable. I prefer between us personally, I think between us is alot better. you also see alot more of the friendships.win team had the best chemistry dean and pharm seemed uncomfortable most of the time. I've watched it twice now I dropped it the first time and watched it all the way through. if it weren't for the stoplight gangs friendship, del and manow I probs wouldn't watch it.
don't think I'd watch it again

Very Sweet Love Story
- Genre –Reincarnation/Romance/School/Students/BL
- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A and B are schoolmates with B 2 years above A. In a previous life, A and B were lovers but because of family forbidding them from being together, B kills himself in front of A and A follows suit. In the present day, every time A would see B, he would have flashbacks of that time. At night A and B would also have dreams of that time. That is because the current A and B are reincarnations of the past A and B. This is why B is immediately in love with A from the moment they meet. The story focuses on A and B getting used to being together once more and finding out just what happened in their past life. In the last episode, A remembers everything and breaks down, threatening to kill himself to punish B for his selfish act and B apologizing over and over again and promising he will never hurt him ever again. After that A tells B that he wants some space but the separation is brief as A realizes he can’t be without B. The show ends with them together again, looking forward to life after graduation and perhaps a wedding in NYC. The show is a mixture of scenes from the present and scenes from the past.
- Plot and Storyline –
This is a very interesting take on the theme of reincarnation. Personally, I feel the concept is well executed and very impactful emotionally as I found myself crying a lot while watching it. The interaction between the leads is enchanting, with each touch of the hand and every kiss evoking a sense of delight and excitement. The palpable romantic atmosphere creates a charming allure, making every subtle gesture between the characters profoundly captivating. Although the intimate scenes are pretty tame, it doesn’t disappoint me at all because everything is so well shot and contextualized.
- Character Development –
The most noticeable development is both characters finally reconciling with their past and learnt how live in the present.
- Acting -
The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the actor portraying A, finding his portrayal compelling. However, I had mixed feelings about the actor portraying B, as he had a tendency to keep a blank emotionless face that, at times, seemed to dampen the impact of A’s tears and his grief. Whether this was a result of direction or acting style remains unclear, but there was a noticeable improvement in later episodes. The crying scenes, though, were undeniably powerful; they had a genuine and heart-wrenching quality that evoked a visceral response, successfully avoiding any unintentional humor and instead deeply resonating with the audience's emotions.
- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.
- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing for the other characters can sometimes be a little cringey.
- Pacing -
Pacing is good.
- Themes and Message –
The main message is that sometimes family tragedy can occur when you refuse to accept your kid for who they are.
- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who wants a good cry will love this show.
- Standout Moments -
N/A
- Criticisms -
x B's acting can sometimes take you out of the scene. He sometimes doesn't really react to A's tears - at least, in a way obvious to the audience. He keeps a blank face a lot of the time.
x The writing outside the romance scenes can get a little awkward as characters' interactions with each other seems a little unnatural.
x Acting isn't exactly this show's strong point.
- Conclusion -
I’ve already rewatched this show numerous times as I really like A and B’s interactions. The show beautifully captures the romance in the subtleties of their relationship, showcasing how even simple gestures like holding hands can be incredibly romantic when presented in the right circumstances. For those considering watching, the true charm lies in savoring these small, meaningful moments between the characters.

Probably the best BL discussing real issues!
I'd start by saying on of the best BL out there, it has everything, emotions, great acting, wonderful storyline, sweet moments and the list can go on.I'd warn you though, coz some of the episodes will make you cry, so keep your tissues ready. And that goes to show how the good the show is and how well it has been delivered by the actors, Fluke in particular, his emotional scenes were so good. The chemistry between the main was amazing. The relationship shown here was so healthy but yet realistic, there were consent so none of the BL trop where one lead almost forces the other, no unnecessary drama and most importantly no toxic female character looking for one of the main leads
That's it from me and trust give this series a shot and you're absolutely love
