When it comes to Y series that made waves during the golden age of Thai gay dramas, 'Until We Meet Again' is one of those titles fans still talk about endlessly. Although it aired back in 2019, its complex plot involving time travel, forbidden love, and reincarnation keeps the series memorable and frequently rewatched. Our editorial team thus volunteers to introduce you to this series more deeply, through a perspective that both praises and points out flaws, without any spoilers for the ending.
Plot Summary (No Spoilers for the Ending)
The series opens with a young man named 'In' (played by Gavin Caskey) who decides to end his life in front of his lover 'Korn' (played by Thitipoom Techaapaikhun). Then time jumps to the present, where 'Pharm' (played by Thitipoom Techaapaikhun) is a university student with recurring strange dreams, and 'Dean' (played by Thanawat Rattanakitpaisarn) is a swimmer who often smells a certain floral scent with no apparent source. They meet by chance and feel a strange attraction, linked to their past lives. The story unfolds as they try to uncover the truth about their dreams and lingering memories, facing obstacles from family, friends, and a society that cannot easily accept their relationship.
Acting and Characters
An undeniable strength of this series is the performance of the main leads, 'New' Thitipoom Techaapaikhun and 'Tor' Thanawat Rattanakitpaisarn, who deeply convey the emotions of their characters—love, pain, and vulnerability. Notably, New plays dual roles: Pharm in the present and Korn in the past. He clearly distinguishes the personalities and mannerisms of both characters. Meanwhile, Tor impressively portrays Dean as both strong and gentle. Their chemistry is natural and warm, making it easy for viewers to connect with their cross-time romance. Additionally, supporting actors like 'Frank' Ssupakorn Sriphirompho (Sun), 'Drake' Chayapol Jutamas (Non), 'Fay' Gavin Caskey (Mhog), and 'Milk' Lapaslan Jirawetsuntornkun (Sandy) perform well, especially the Sun-Non pair, who add color and fun to the story.
Direction, Cinematography, and Music
The production quality of this series is decent. The overall visuals are beautiful, especially the cinematography that uses warm tones for the present and cool tones for flashbacks, helping viewers clearly distinguish time periods. The editing flows smoothly, though some episodes feel a bit drawn out; overall, it remains engaging. The most beloved aspect among fans is the soundtrack, which is melodious and fits the series' atmosphere, particularly the song 'Until We Meet Again' sung by the lead actors themselves, which enhances the series' emotions. However, some editing sequences may cause slight confusion, especially quick cuts between past and present.
Editorial Analysis
From the editorial team's perspective, 'Until We Meet Again' is a series that dares to address issues of 'suicide' and 'emotional trauma' directly, which was challenging for Y series at that time. Presenting the story of two people bound across lifetimes through pure love, despite societal opposition, reflects true love that nothing can obstruct. However, the series has weaknesses in pacing, which is quite slow in some parts, and repeatedly emphasizing the characters' pain may tire some viewers. Moreover, some plot points are too predictable for seasoned viewers. Overall, though, this series is a valuable work deserving praise as one of the legends in the Thai Y series industry.
Verdict
Until We Meet Again is a Y series worth watching for those who enjoy deep content, drama, and heartwarming cross-time romance. Despite some slow pacing, the excellent acting and beautiful soundtrack will make you emotional to tears. Suitable for Y series fans looking for something more than just sweet love.
