I just needed my WinTeam content, but I guess I have to pray they'll get their own series.
Until then, my friends, you should check them out HERE.

I have been sitting here trying to figure out the best way to write about this book, and I'm forced to simply say that it's beautifully sweet and romantic. There's a lot going on - the stark contrast between how Korn and In were treated versus Pharm and Dean just based on forty-odd years passing and society evolving is an excellent throughline - but really, the reason you should pick this series up comes down to one thing: just watching two people be happy.

Best book I own🥹

[Brit · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart is fluttering. 💞😭 Iono if there will be another volume, but I’m content with this being an ending. My mind really was taking me to the pessimistic stance that “history will repeat itself, in a bad way.” I just want these boys to be happy. This was such a sweet romance, and I just loved the wholesomeness of all the interactions with the secondary characters. Though, it did weird me out that some people were taking photos of the boys, and speculating they’re relationship, within the early stages too. So that was strange, but I guess that got the story to move along at a quicker pace. 🤔 I know they did it “in good fun,” but I’m just NOT for spying on and taking/posting photos of people without their consent, and having a whole online debate whether the main characters are seeing each other. 🙅‍♀️ I’m curious about the tv series, because I’m sure there will be more drama. So I should consume that at some point. But I loved this volume. The art is superb. The gradual hand holding and the kissing scenes. 🤌🏻 LOVE. 🥰
Curious if there is more to come or if this is the end. 🤧

They're so cute! I hope future chapters have a more in depth look at their past and why they're experiencing this. It's so interesting!

So fucking cute!! I think I enjoyed this volume more because they start dating. But also because we get to see them getting glimpses into their past lives through dreams. I loveee

[Frank Chillura (OhYouRead) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was just as incredibly sweet as the first. As they get to know each other, flashes of their past life come to them, making both boys start to realize that they have known one another and been in love before. 😱😍

[Cas ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is toothachingly sweet with a touch of angst from their past life & the tragic way their initial love story ended, and I really like the balance.

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm actually really surprised by how much I liked this volume. I think someone who likes fated soulmates and reincarnation as a concept (which I don't particularly) will resonate a lot with this series. Those are the only parts I was still struggling with, and that's not a flaw in the narrative - just a personal preference.

It makes me sad, still, that In and Korn didn't find happiness in their own timeline, and being reborn into new lives and new personalities isn't a complete fix for me. There's still mourning that goes into the lost time, and some questioning about whether they love each other for their current selves or their past memories.

But! This volume does a good job of showing the development between Dean and Pharm, with the two of them going on dates and really getting to know and like each other in the present day. I appreciated that. It's interesting because I'm not sure if Dean and Korn are much different - but Pharm does feel like a pretty different person than In. I like them both, for different reasons, but those divisions do split out Korn's love for In vs Dean's love for Pharm. I'm not sure why that choice was made; it does feel like I'm reading two love stories instead of a single one that carries across lifetimes.

I liked the explanation of the red thread in this volume, though, specifically with Korn and In's choices leading them to being able to meet again as Dean and Pharm. I'm glad they were reborn into families that care for and protect them in ways their old ones didn't. And they have a wide network of friends this time around, too, which didn't seem to be the same for In and Korn. They loved each other deeply, but they were very alone.

Will their past lives flashbacks cause any problems in this current timeline, though? Dean's already almost crashed his car because one happened while he was driving, which is troubling. I don't know if that's going to be an ongoing plot point. Or what is happening with the ongoing story - it seems that we're not stopping after two volumes, but I'm not sure if a third one has come out yet, even in its original language?

If not, or if it takes forever, this one does conclude in a pretty satisfying way, so it wouldn't be the worst way to end it.

THEY HAVE BIRTHMARKS FROM THE GUNSHOTS IN THEIR PREVIOUS LIVES!?!?!?!?

I really like this series. Sure, it has problems, mostly with pacing and being insanely jumpy in the way it moves from scene to scene, but it just feels so warm... which feels strange to say given the premise. I love how supportive everyone is of everyone else. I love how considerate and sweet everyone is. I love how interconnected all of the cast is (and I really hope we get to see that they're also connected to Korn and In's past family as well). Can't wait to see where this goes and to have Pharm and Dean continue to discover what happened in the past.

I also really wanna learn how to make some traditional Thai sweets.......

[Bre · Rating 5 out of 5]

They’re so cute I can’t. I love how supportive everyone is of them this time around. They more than deserve it. This was a sweet volume that really just built up their relationship and gave all the feels. Especially with the multiple flash backs

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love that lasts through multiple lifetimes is just so deeply romantic, it makes me swoon. The connection between the main couple is very sweet and the all side characters are nice. Hopefully we get to see them get fleshed out a bit more too.

[Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved every second of this!! Once again it’s just pure comfort to me. Dean and Pharm are the cutest :(
I wish we had volume 3 already!

Sweetheart collage romance, I loved it ❤️

[Benjamin Wong · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely enjoyed this and impatiently anticipating the next 2 books to finish out the story.

[Jake · Rating 3 out of 5]

Things are slightly clearer now...
I'm still finding the jumping from one sequence to the next a bit odd though

*3.75 stars

A continuation of a sweet and simple story. I was happy to see a tiny bit more Thai culture brought into this volume compared to the first. Although, there is still room for improvement, and I do wonder if there was some "lost in translation" aspect to this. For example, the lack of honorifics such as "P" is kind of surprising.

Some other critiques is, as I noticed, there was a fair amount of repetition. Pharm almost always seems to be cooking something for his Thai cooking club, and not much else. I do wish we got more development of Dean's and Pharm's relationship, in the sense that their biggest connection is "they're fated to be together." We don't actually know much about why Dean and Pharm like each other, not really.

Dean and Pharm's dynamic is pretty cliché, what with Pharm being quite shy and sensitive, and Dean is the more stoic type. If that's not your thing, this may not work for you.

Despite my critiques, I still had a pleasant time reading this. It's a shame that this is the last English translation, as far as I know.

[Jude · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s so hard to properly rate this because I love the tv show so much and this adaptation is almost the exact same besides the scenes that don’t feature the main couple. I did like the first one more and I def think the way things are paced should have been slower, so that’s why it’s a four and not a five! It’s so wild though how the art seems to even be based on the show, like I truly think this adaptation is moreso adapting the show than the novel… I think I’d like this better if it was it’s own thing, because there are clear scenes thay are redraws from the show, so even if all the events were the same, the way things look would be different and unique and all that.

[R. · Rating 3 out of 5]

There was potential for the series to actually end here as the boys at least have committed to each other at this point and have remembered enough of their pasts to at least recognize each other. It's clear that there is still some jealousy and a lot of shipping going on, though, and at least one person who doesn't seem able to take a hint when Pharm keeps rejecting him. Dean seems to be more than a little possessive, not that Pharm minds from his own actions. It will be interesting to see what happens in the following volumes and if it's just expanding on their current reality or if we'll see more back flashes and discussion of past events.

[Cheyenne Davey · Rating 5 out of 5]

the most devastating news of 2026 is learning this series has 2 more volumes not released in English yet and with no known date 😭💔
I'm heartbroken 💔
I'm in love with this pair and desperate for this to work for them this time around.

also an unimportant side note: Shin is soooooo FINE ❤️ reminds me of Baizhu from Genshin Impact

Entretenido y de buen dibujo 3.5 ☆

Me gusta los flashbacks de su vida pasada aunque me hubiera gustado que se conocieran un poco más en el presente antes de saltar a ser novios (aunque ni siquiera hubo propuesta).

[Reuben Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pharm still annoys me, but just like with the show I’ve learned to kind of block him out and now I’m enjoying a lot more 😂
