Undeniable chemistry/slow burn but definitely worth it
Normally I don't write reviews but I honestly enjoyed this drama so much, I couldn't help it. I originally saw a random scene of Between Us on my Youtube short videos and thought it looked interesting but didn't think much of it. then I saw Boun and Prem's cameo in Cutie Pie and saw the comment section freaking out about their cameo. So of course I had to check out what sort of drama's they were in since most of the comments were about their amazing chemistry.
Between Us was the 2nd Thai drama I've ever watched and BounPrem's chemistry on and off screen really lived up to what the comments were saying.
It truly became my comfort drama and it'll always have a special place in my heart.
At first, I wasn't sure about the story line since they had little to no interaction in the first half of the episode and then they were hooking up all of a sudden. But by the 2nd episode, I was hooked. Especially since Win admitted to Team that them sleeping together was nice and from there, they started to build on their undefined "more than friends, less than lovers" relationship.
Cons: I would have enjoyed the drama even more (if that's even possible), if there weren't so many side couples. I would've liked to see more of Dean/Pharm since they were the OG couple and honestly even more scenes of the main couple Win/Team .
I also would've loved to see more of a deep dive into why Win is so afraid of losing something. I know he kinda stated/explained it, (but as someone who hasn't read the book so I'm not sure if its explained more in there) it would've been nice to be shown a scene or some sort of past scene that he experienced for him to get to the point of being that afraid to lose/ love someone.
An important one was Team's trauma. If his guilt has followed him to adulthood, realistically I thought why didn't his parents put him in therapy as a kid? Watching someone, especially whom you were close with, die and having that guilt that you were the cause of it, it's not something that you can easily forget. Or as much as he's close with his parents, they didn't realize how much he struggled. Of course I'm coming from this as an asian american and I also don't know how mental health is in Thailand as well. I also know that if it was realistically dealt with, we wouldn't have the story of Win becoming a safe place for Team. But those were the thoughts that dawned me while I was watching it. (Done with the cons)
The last thing I wanted to talk about was their confession. I had seen some comments on how they thought Win and Team singing to each other was cringe so they skipped the scene. I honestly disagree. I loved that their singing wasn't perfect and it was the lyrics of the songs they were singing that mattered. They were trying to convey how they feel towards each other. Boun and Prem have also said that it was hard to sing while they were crying and having stuffy noses, so I appreciated the scene even more. I might sound biased, but overall I loved their confession. It was raw, emotional, and honestly, it is hard to not feel afraid telling someone how you truly feel and not knowing 100% if they feel the same way.
Needless to say, I enjoyed Between Us. Thanks to this drama, I became a fan of Ohm/Fluke since I watched UWMA right after I finished Between Us. I've also became an even bigger fan of Boun and Prem. Both together as much as individually. And I'm honestly so excited to watch their upcoming projects !
