Expected way more

Its been a while since i watched a k-BL since i know how lacking they can be sometimes, and its understandable since its a genre that is still newly being introduced to the korean public, but still i expected a bit more. One of the reasons that made me watch this drama was Leo being part of the cast, and tbh him being a cast member and the cast members themselves in general might have been the only good things about this drama.
Ill now be listing what negative points i found in this drama:
1) it was a bit slow paced
2) i really dont know why everyone had to bend over backwards to help cha jungwoo when he is the one who self distructed( like he couldve made his point in a better calculated way and avoided destroying his career). In this drama wveryone was trying so hard to help him acheive his dreams even though they were not obliged to, and whenever it was time for jungwoo to give a reaction to that he was always so self entitled imo. His character was written to be annoying and abnoxious tbh.
3) idk why but to me it appeared to me like taeyong was house wrecking and it just didnt sit well with me. Like he clearly knew that jonghyun and jungwoo were together, but he still went for it.
All in all i feel like all of these points goes back to the idea that the story was poorly writtten with soo much room for improvement.
Would i watch it again? Def not
Would i recommend you to watch it? If u uave nothing better to do then go ahead but proceed with caution.
Hope this helps someone 😊

It was so good that I honestly didn't want this series to end!!!

I consider myself to be a very critical person when it comes to judging and drama that I watched, and I very rarely end up giving a series a full mark in all its aspects, but i guess the day has finally come where I do that. but in order for my review to make sense i would have to roll back to UWMA for moment here.
Now I'm going to be 100% honest here, UWMA was honestly not my cup of tea to begin with, and I would like to make it clear that it WASN'T OhmFluke's fault, but it was the fault of the story line itself. UWMA story, in a nutshell, was basically a lot of crying mixed with a lot of cooking scenes. Although ik that a few of them were necessary for the storyline, but many of them were just very unnecessary and at some points annoying. I really wanted to just watch it at a 2.0X speed just for me to not drop it since i hate dropping a series that I have already started, but eventually i just ended powering through it at normal speed just for the sake of the side couple which was WinTeam.
Now on to my cent about ( Between Us).
Between Us was nothing short of what i have hoped for, and honestly it may have been even better than i have expected.
Going into this series i was a bit scared, as many a times did series made for side characters of other series end up being a total disaster that lacks quality, a proper story, low budget, all paired with low production, however in this case i was very pleasantly surprised. Everything from the story line to the production, to the actor's chemistry, and most importantly the BounPrem themselves was on point, and what I liked the most about this series was that there weren't many filler scenes( which is a rare sighting in the series world these days) especially in the last few episodes which are always prone to having a lot of filler scenes, but thankfully not in this case.
The ending was not rushed at all and all the stories were wrapped up well which was refreshing to see since in other cases it might've been difficult to do given the fact that there were 3 to 4 side couples, but thankfully it was done well, and the fact that these side couples didn't interfere or drag the story line on was a very pleasant addition to all the good qualities this series had accumulatedd.
