Seeing ppl defend DeanPharm in the year 2022 rly is healing bc I felt like I (and the few others I found when UWMA was airing) was going insane because the majority I saw called them boring. It really was that "are we even watching the same show?" experience lmao
no literallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i was rewatching the v end of ep.13 just now and the top comment was like "WHEN THE SIDE STORY ATTRACTS YOU MORE THAN THE MAIN STORY😂" and like that could NOT be me!!!!!
like respectfully teamwin trying to sell me lays will never beat deanpharm's "reincarnated lovers who were reincarnated into each other's families and have to deal with the consequences of their suicides, specifically the pain and trauma intouch went thru that was so devastating it carried over into his next life, and healing from said pain and trauma in a soft, respectful college romance that's rlly just their own soft epilogue after the pain and struggle of their past lives"
i rlly cannot imagine calling such a healing and simply BEAUTIFUL story boring........like me and exo-s-victory-lap were just talking abt this but the way uwma took so many tropes and neutralized them into something that felt SO natural and normal instead of awkward/cringy tropes is unparalleled and they did so much to start pushing bls forward from a fetishistic fanservice thing to a medium for real, serious gay stories. plus, it's kinda the POINT that there's no drama w deanpharm!!!!! everything that went wrong in their last lives goes right this time, and they get to be happy!! characters and stories that are happy and good are not boring!!! in fact, i think it's boring to think otherwise. uwma is abt gay healing and that's so important and GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
