Okay. I'm obsessed.
I have to start off by saying I've always loved the soulmate trope. Always. From the electrifying first look at the person they've looked for forever to the dreams and confusion, UWMA was everything I could have ever hoped for and more. I adore the direction that they took with it. I don't know if a smarter person would have seen the twists coming but I didn't and every reveal had me bawling my eyes out and screaming about what a good story this was.
The casting of Fluke, Earth, Ohm, and Kao is genius. They've got those similar looks and they all do a great job of giving off the same energy as their counterpart. Overall, the acting from everyone is pretty stellar.
From keeping up with BLs online, I'd only ever seen bits of Team and Win and gathered that they somehow must have managed to steal the show which led me to believe there would be a lot more of them than there actually is. But I get it, their chemistry is effortless. I actually loved how low-key they are. We don't see them meet, they're doing their own thing, don't have a big storyline, they're good friends, and it was really sweet. I think it was a great idea when you already have Pharm and Dean with their super intense love story right next to them. As for Pharm and Dean, Korn and Intouch, well... They're perfect.
The soundtrack is nothing special and sometimes it's a bit loud, although that one violin piece they play during the emotional scenes made it impossible for me not to cry. My one major complaint is that one of my favourite scenes with Dean's mother doesn't have the follow-up I was so eagerly waiting for which is super disappointing. Also, could have done without the recurring body-shaming comments. Still a 10/10, though.
