Ep 5 - 9/10
From the synopsis, these two have lived hundreds of lives and end up together in every one, but since there's no indication of this lore yet, I'll view them as standalone stories and rate them individually first.
Episode 1 - 7/10
Starting off strong with a fantasy element, this story takes place in a world where the rain let's you see your soulmate in color, it was a bit confusing the way they did it since it doesn't clarify if everyone is colorblind or if it's just during the rain, but the idea was fun. Their interactions were cute enough but the character development was kind of one sided and their chemistry was just decent.
Episode 2 - 6.5/10
This episode was your classic boss-falls-for-his-secretary type of setting, with a bit of family drama to keep it interesting. Honestly the story was nothing special, but their characters were cute and they did have some sweet moments. I enjoyed how different they were from the first episode's characters, showing off that they have a bit of a range in their acting.
Episodes 3 & 4 - 8.5/10
Episode 3 was a ball of butterflies in your stomach and a warm tension in the air, episode 4 was a mix of tension, confusion, and sadness. The story this time started off a little uncomfortable, a longing love from afar, a car mechanic visiting a family gravesite happens upon a beautiful man visiting his parents gravesite. He looks forward to seeing him every year and when opportunity finally presents itself their chemistry-packed acquaintance begins. This episode changed my mind completely about this series, both their characters and their chemistry were so much better than in the first two stories. The story was a little heartbreaking, though the last few minutes of the episode really makes you question what you just watched.
Episode 5 - 9/10
What a thirst trap, this episode showcases a whole new level of chemistry, even without the insinuations and hot cuts, the way these two flirt in this story is fire. Not gonna lie, switching it up so that Top is a top was a great move, he just oozed sexy completely killed his role. The story this time is a washed up musician who drunkenly agrees to teach his fan how to play guitar, when his fan's big brother tags along to make sure he's teaching properly, their personalities aren't the only things that rub eachother the wrong way ;) . Episode 6 will finish this story so we'll see how this relationship pans out, but so far it's sweet and steamy right out of the oven.
--------
For the series as a whole:
Other than being the same actors, the characters names, personalities, and even the setting or lore are all completely different. For anyone who hasnt seen this couple before, Mick and Top have their own cute short story in 'My Universe' (a Thai BL short story compilation) as schoolmates who basically fall for eachother at first sight. If 'My Universe' was made to decide what couple to cast in the new series, 'Every You, Every Me' was made to decide what type of story they should play in.
It's been fun watching the duality these two have, its like we get to see what flavor of acting theyre best at which is enjoyable in its own way. So far its getting good and im excited to see more, though I do hope theyll tie the stories together at the end. Anyway, I'll add to the review after each new episode is released.
