Exceeded my expectations
If you haven't watched 'Until We Meet Again' then it's safe to say you're missing out.
There are no spoilers in this review. Also if there something I said that offended you I apologize early. It was not intended I was just giving my opinion. :V
For a bl, this one isn't as crazy. There are no rape scenes, no shitty possessive top, no romanticization of abuse, and the "bottoms" aren't weak and dependant. There is a lot of homophobia, but they address it in a proper way.
The story. - 8.5
Lots of people see UWMA as a lot of incest in a bowl, but it really isn't. Sure dean is technically dating his great uncle who passed away 30 years ago, but no. I like looking at it in a different way. Pharm and Intouch to me are not the same people. Pharm grew up not even knowing of his past life. And if you want the whole series you'll see very clearly that Pharm doesn't think of himself as Intouch.
I won't call it incest because pharm is not Intouch, and Dean is not Korn. They said goodbye to their old selves a long time ago. The story was good and it had a good plot. I usually don't cry during shows, but not gonna lie I'm pretty sure I shed at least one teardrop. I also think the fact that they switched families was such an interesting concept that just hooks me. I think I would have liked the show as much if the story was changed.
The acting/cast. - 6.5
The acting was actually pretty good! Sometimes when I'm watching (especially Thai shows). The acting becomes a deal-breaker for me, but in this show, they actually surprised me. The chemistry was nothing to wow over, but it was there. The cast did an amazing job. I especially liked Fluke's (Pharm) acting. I loved all his emotional scenes. And the last episode was so GOOD. I mean the acting was on point. I didn't have an issue with anyone's acting in particular.
I just love the cast within itself watching UWMA pushed me to watch other stuff the cast participated in.
The couples were good. I like the DeanPharm ship and the TeamWin ship was good too. Like I said the chemistry wasn't over the top amazing, but it was good. I feel like TeamWin had a little more chemistry than DeanPharm.
The music/OST. - 4.0
Every series needs music. In this series, the music wasn't exaggerated or dramatic. I liked how they used it. I also liked a few OSTs here and there. The opening song was good and appreciated. That scene where Dean gives pharm the earbuds and they listen to some Thai songs. had me smiling.
The rewatch value. - 5.0
Although I personally have never rewatched this I still know that the rewatch value is pretty decent. If I could erase my memory of watching this I would. Just so I can rewatch it again FRESH & NEW.
Overall it's an 8.0 for me.
From the happy scenes to the sad scenes. From the foods to the romance I loved all of it. I such an adorable series and anyone who is a fan of lakorns should definitely watch this one.
