I rarely write a review, but this time it deserves a review. The acting was soo good, the transition of each story is seamless. I've watched a lot of drama's and the common mistakes of dramas are the execution of the twist. The story is complicated but it was presented in an orderly manner. The pacing is subtle, enough for the audience to build emotions.

The director has a very good cast ensemble, as for the actor who plays "Pharm" your crying skills sold the series.

Every bit of this masterpiece is worth watching. Actors have done some remarkable work especially the actor who portrayed Pharm is really talented. Production, direction and editing everything is impeccable. Every episode leave you wanting more. Soundtracks of this series are really spectacular.

An emotional and beautifully acted BL from Thailand. The lead actors are gorgeous and the side couples that emerge are adorable (and looking forward to the sequel/side story coming soon!) The storyline although dealing with concepts a bit fantastical actually felt realistic as our two main lead boys struggled with emotions from both lives. I was rooting for them all the way through. The product placements are a bit comical but least they try to keep them flowing in the narrative so we don't get too taken out of the story like some I've seen. The soundtrack also really grew on me and I really recommend looking up the cast version of luckiest boy, the main song from the soundtrack.

I felt that the story line was pretty nice, the way reincarnations were handled and the connections were framed was great too.

As for the ships, Korn and In's story was beautiful, Gun and Team's was fun, I personally liked the other ships more than the main ship of Dean and Pharm but that doesn't mean it wasn't well versed.

There is a lot of content involving Thai cooking, which was nice as for representation of their culture and tradition, but sometimes felt lengthy and like a diversion from the BL theme.

All the characters were acted well.

Fun fact: I started to watch this series after watching the poster featuring TeamWin thinking that they are gonna be the main ship, lol.

I enjoyed the writers view of this story. I felt they wrote a strong unique view of reincarnation after a tramatic event. And the production did a great job to bring the effort forward. I enjoyed most of the acting. And I love the development of the relationship.

I think my biggest challenge was the way the writer(s) and director wrote Pharm (Intouches soul in Pharms body). I was taken back that he cried so often ( every episode) and over so much. I'm not in their shoes and definitely I am not judging. And that he had things to be upset about. I just think it was too much crying (crying instead of trying to learn and understand) and that subtracted from the show for me, but I still enjoyed it. I realize the soul was speaking and that something entirely it's own, but it just didn't sit well.

I felt that if you remember your past life and it was bad; you do everything possible to enjoy the new life. Don't repeat past mistakes. Accept your failures, realize your strengths and grow/mature as a person. But most importantly know the past, look at it even if it hurts and learn and rise above it. After all, it's your past. You have to move forward as best you can!
