So, apparently, it's been 19 days since I finished watching UWMA, and I was very hesitant to write a review because it might take forever. Oh well, since UWMA has affected me for a long time, I guess it was inevitable of me to write a review. Before I start, I'd like to clarify that even though UWMA is the first Thai drama I finished, this review might be biased solely because of the plot. UWMA appeared to have almost all my favorite tags and themes.
The red thread of fate and reincarnated lovers, a plot like that is hard to perfect. To be honest, even though I gasped when I read the plot, I was ready to be disappointed. I'm so happy to say that I was overjoyed! Some might think that the main couple dwelled on their past more than necessary, but I'd say it was essential. If you found out that you were a reincarnation, wouldn't you also question your existence? Dean and Pharm had a relationship that made me feel true love through the screen. (and I felt single but that's not the point.) In some dramas, even though there's a romance between the main leads, you only know that they're in love, you don't feel it. They're in love, that's it. No depth or whatsoever. This wasn't the case for Dean and Pharm. In UWMA, throughout the endless events we see, we become more and more sure of their love. In some stories, you even feel like one side loves the other more. I never saw that in DeanPharm. Their love was felt when they were together (so, in almost the entire drama). Their love exceeded the red thread of fate that tied them together. UWMA has its own unexpected events too, those events gave the story a different type of depth. UWMA also had one of my favorite second couples of all-time, WinTeam. Some loved WinTeam more than DeanPharm, and to be honest I can't guarantee that you'll love one couple more than the other, because I adored both.
The acting was spectacular. A plot like this also needs to be portrayed well. Multiple actors caught my eye in UWMA. There were excellent actors, like Samantha (as Manaow) and Earth (as In). And there was one of the best actors I've seen, Fluke who portrayed Pharm. Did someone say the actor who does the best crying scenes? Yep, that's Fluke. His acting made me forget that he's an actor and none of these are real. He is so good and I realized that I don't have enough rich vocabulary to do him justice and say how superb he is. If you're not sure if you want to watch UWMA, let me tell you, this guy is a marvelous actor. Even if the plot and the trailer weren't enough for you to decide, the actors should be convincing. Fluke made me feel every emotion Pharm felt. If Pharm wasn't portrayed as well as Fluke portrayed him, he wouldn't be one of my favorite characters. Pharm needed to be portrayed flawlessly, and Fluke did him justice. Let's stop here before I turn this whole review to a novel about how excellent Fluke is.
Rating: As you can see from the gigantic paragraphs of love, the story and the cast are both 10/10. The directing was okay, as I find myself too amateur to rate directors. And UWMA was okay in terms of directing. The songs, I can't believe I'm feeling songs now. They were good, tearjerker good. I loved the OST. I don't like to rewatch dramas, UWMA is one of the very few dramas that made me want to watch it again and again. If I weren't challenging myself, I'd probably have rewatched UWMA like, three times.
I want to recommend UWMA to anyone and everyone. I started UWMA because of the plot and tags (UWMA looked like everything I have ever loved in one drama, can you blame me?) and I was ready to drop, ready to be disappointed. UWMA was just, the best for me. I remember that directly after finishing UWMA, I thought, "What could make this drama better?" and I couldn't find an answer. No matter how much I love a drama, I can usually find a minor thing to make it improve, but when it comes to UWMA, I can't think of a way to make it better. To me, UWMA is perfect just the way it is.
