『Until We Meet Again』 Episode 15 First Half Impressions

By the way, what is everyone's 'favorite scene in UWMA'? As of now, my ranking includes: 'Episode 4, the scene where Pharm shows Dean his phone saying "You're the only one I'm personally in contact with," titled: The scene where Pharm goes "It's me..." after a chin-chuck melody attack (not actually titled)', 'Episode 6, Pharm's super shy motion during the curtain kiss, titled: The peak of embarrassment "Come out..." but wait, if you come out, you're planning to kiss, right?! (not actually titled)', 'Episode 10, the scene in the kitchen where Dean surrenders to Pharm and gets a "naughty" for touching his butt, titled: (I think that's enough)', 'Episode 13, the scene where Pharm shows Dean his compass tattoo, titled: ()'. I'd like to decide on my personal number one eventually, so please wait until the final episode. (I didn't get to title the second half, sigh.)
Now, onto episode 15. It starts in the cooking club, which is rare! Pharm is such a good kid, looking at the face of every member he's working with while he talks, that I'm starting to get worried! I doubt there was a direction like "please look at everyone's face while you talk," so it must be an acting choice by the actor, but it's just so naturally Pharm. I'm impressed.
Even so, whether in the kitchen or at a lecture, Pharm is distracted, worried about the "we'll do it until the end" thing Dean said. After all, today is that promised Friday, right? ♡ (Actually, I was told by a kind fan that this was Thursday! A senior coming to pick him up the day before just because Friday is a holiday...! I'm shaking!!) It's also super obvious to Team and Manaow that he's acting differently than usual. Senior, I'm sure you told him in advance that you'd do it on Friday out of seriousness and kindness, but for the equally serious Pharm, it might have been a bit too stimulating...? Wait, or were you thinking, "My week of adoring a restless Pharm ♡"? If so, you're quite the sadist, aren't you? (I want to believe otherwise.)
When Manaow tells Dean about how Pharm was fidgeting all day while mimicking him, Dean asks, "Did something happen?" It's your fault, you know! You know that! Pharm shaking his head is just too cute. What is this space where all the cast and viewers are grinning? The smile on Pharm's face when they are finally alone after Team and Manaow leave! That's right, it's nerve-wracking and makes your heart race, but it'll be fine if you leave it to Dean, he's reliable and kind! What is this. (I came back to my senses.)
Anyway, the two of them came to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner. Pharm says he'll make pineapple fried rice tonight. But Pharm, from now on, every time you make pineapple fried rice, you're going to remember (the one we ate on the night we first did it...), are you okay with that? Wouldn't it be better to make something a bit more trivial? At the very least, every viewer will now have (on Dean and Pharm's first night...) cross their mind every time they see pineapple fried rice. (Is it just me?)
Like a newlywed couple, Pharm pushes the cart and picks out ingredients, muttering with a new-wife face, "I want a big refrigerator." With Dean's wealth, he could buy a dozen, but holding back, he says with a husband face, "Do you need one when you're so small?" Pharm is so cute saying, "If the fridge is big, I can make and store lots of snacks for P'Dean to eat ♡"!! Senior immediately replies with a doting, "Let's buy a big one when we move into a house." "A house?" "A house where we'll live together." There it is. Pharm's eyes widening in surprise!! Perfectly round!! Mouth open!! Defenseless!!!!! And then he gulps down bubble milk tea, the drink that suits Pharm best in the world! Can a way of drinking be this maiden-like? The most Pharm-like girly gesture! And, as we find out later, while Pharm was off throwing away that cup, Senior bought contraceptives. I wanted to see him choose it and put it in the basket, didn't you all think so?!?! I wonder if they filmed it but couldn't include it due to time constraints. Ah, since it's something you find out later, maybe they couldn't show it here. But it's hard to find a time to show it in a flashback. Darn. I wanted to see it! (Which one should I pick... size-wise, this one...? No, but for thinness, it's gotta be this one...) I wanted to see Senior pondering in front of the shelf!!!!
Yes, so the pineapple fried rice in question is done! Wow! The pineapple itself is the bowl, right? So cute! It's amazing that Pharm can make something like this! I love the scene where the two of them talk about the future in front of that pineapple fried rice. It should have started with Pharm's cute request to let him pay for the supermarket bill, but before I knew it, it turned into a proposal!!! Ahhhhh, I love this flow so much I can't even explain it well. Watching it, I stopped breathing, and Pharm starts crying. (I'm crying too.) I don't use the word 'precious' often, but is this the kind of emotion you call 'precious'...? What I especially like is: 1. The reason for paying, it's not "Let me pay because I want to," or "It's natural because I'm older," but "Utility bills and the chef's hourly wage"! I love Dean's incredibly sound financial sense, showing that Pharm isn't in a position to say "thank you for paying." It means that since it's something that's natural to pay and natural to receive, there's no need for "sorry" or "thank you." Dean is a really good man who respects their relationship as equal and identical, and I think that's why Pharm loves Dean, including that part. Both sides' love is convincing!
2. Dean's expression and tone of voice when he says, "My lover is studying economics, so if I'm sloppy, I'll get dumped." It feels like there are more words in this line, so it's a shame I want to know the more detailed translation, but anyway, Dean is incredibly sexy when he says this, and I feel a little dizzy. I'd even believe it if the subtitles said, "I want to strip you naked right now, push you down, and hold you until morning." It's a set until Pharm taps Dean's knee and says, "That has nothing to do with it."
3. Dean's words after "Don't you want to live with P'?" are "I love you," which is incredibly sincere. Furthermore, even though he's being pushed quite a bit, Pharm's courage to smile and say, "I love P'Dean too." His generosity and unflappable spirit. A goddess.
"I want to be by Pharm's side."
"I want to be by P'Dean's side too."
............ Flowers! I want to give them flowers... a large, pure white Casablanca lily!!!! Yes, the flower language is blessing, purity, and magnificent love............!!!! (Come back, Yamamoto.)
4. When Senior tells him, "Let's live together after graduation" while holding his hands, and Pharm starts crying and gets his tears wiped away, and then he goes, "Fuuu..." It's too much of a heart-throb. Does this kid have even more variations of crying acting! I'm going to be shot and die!
5. The part where Dean holds Pharm's cute hands with both of his and says, "This is a proposal," looking him in the eye, because Pharm's mother is in New York, where same-sex marriage is recognized, so they should get married there. I'm sure he had decided to do that for a long time.
6. Senior finally gets to the pineapple fried rice, saying, "Let's eat," and to Pharm, who is all, "Don't brush off such an important talk, wait, P'Dean, I, I...!", Senior says, "It's an important matter, so let's talk about it together from now on, you can think about it slowly until you graduate," promising to propose properly again at that time, and pats his head. He's a terrifyingly perfect 'super-dandy' boyfriend.
That's all, I couldn't explain it well because I love it too much, so I made a bulleted list. (Something Yamamoto tends to do when her 'moe' explodes.) Even though they finally got to the pineapple fried rice, there's no scene of them eating it! I wanted to see it! They went to the trouble of plating it so cutely, I wanted to see them feed each other and laugh, saying, "Is it delicious?" "Ah... my personal chef's cooking is the best." "Oh, P'Dean..."! And then, "P'Dean, you have something here." "Where?" "Here... ah." I wanted Dean to grab Pharm's finger that came to his mouth and bite it, and have Pharm turn bright red and shout, "P'...Dean!!" with wide eyes, making me spit sand! (My delusions are too much.) (The brains of all you experts must have surely played back their figures properly...)
Well, there's no time for such detours, it's finally time! Pharm is already in his pajamas, so maybe he showered first. While Dean is in the bathroom, Pharm finds the contraceptives in the supermarket bag he bought today and is surprised! What is this?! Since when?! Huh?! When he's like that, Dean returns and asks, "What are you doing?" and he jumps. (The usual small animal.) (If you thought, 'That box is small, how many are in there? Is it enough?' please turn yourself in.) Pharm is like a middle schooler who got caught with an erotic magazine, hiding it behind his back and saying, "It's nothing!" but Senior is the one who bought it. Senior's "You learned this in health class, right?" was so Dean-like that I laughed the hardest this year. He never betrays! I felt, 'This guy will never betray his image for the rest of his life!' (Yamamoto usually speaks in Hakata dialect.) Is there anyone who pushes someone down while saying, "That plays an important role for safety and cleanliness"?!?! I've never seen such a BL! It's too like him!!! Wait, I just thought of this now, but I've come this far without reading anyone else's impressions of the drama, so I wonder what others think of this scene? Wait, wait, once I finish writing my impressions up to the final episode, I want to swim in the sea of the internet and go look for them! Even in BedFriend, when the two leads first do it (in episode 1, though lol), I laughed for about two hours when King jumped onto the bed, so is it just a hurdle for me? Or is there a rule that says, 'When a seme pushes someone down for the first time in a Thai BL, laughter is essential!'? (There isn't.)
No, I'll get scolded soon, let's stop. Even though the two of them are starting with life-or-death resolve. I'm sorry. The "small animal that doesn't want to be eaten" feeling of Pharm trying to run away at this late stage is funny and cute. (I'm still finding it funny.) "No, ah, I have to turn off the TV! Look!" "It's fine as it is." "But the lights, look, they're still on..." (In Pharm's ear) "It's fine... because I can see you well..." IT'S HERE!!!! Senior's super-perverted turn has finally arrived!!!! Pharm's "It's not fine at all..." is cute!!!! (Vocabulary dead.)
The flow of Dean tickling him -> Pharm laughing and surrendering is just too wonderful, I wasn't breathing, and the "I love you" from Pharm, who was a bit relaxed from being tickled and had made up his mind, was full of Big Love, it was sigh-worthy. It's a perfect flow. I'm completely defeated. Not only Pharm's heart-pounding, but Senior's tension and 'can't wait anymore' feeling are immense. Isn't this the sexiest kiss scene in this drama so far?! In addition, Senior's huge hand on Pharm's shoulder! I think I've said this before, but this hand with the veins popping out is really sexy, and along with Dean's chest, it's one of the sex appeals!!! Enough!!! Enough, thank you, stop here!!! Please spare me the skin color, my life won't be safe!!!
When I begged that, it was morning. (The morning after is their past life, though.) Still, ahhhhh, what a happy morning! Pharm is monopolizing Senior's huge hand mentioned above and happily fiddling with it. It feels even more erotic than what they were doing, but that cute smile makes up for it. If Aya-ya asked me if it's sexy or cute, this is the scene where I'd answer with a straight face, "It's cute." (A bit outdated.)
Yamamoto, when asked what kind of kid I like, I answer "a cunning kid," so I'm weak to cunning kids, but Pharm putting Senior's palm against his own cheek and looking up with a glance, saying, "P'Dean's hand is bigger than my face ♡" is! As expected! It's an amazing technique, isn't it! Are you prepared to take on all the 'body size difference moe' in the world?! Of course, Senior says, "Punishment for a cute kid." It doesn't make sense. But that's fine. Damn, they're kissing and kissing!!! Are you cute or what!!!
Dean saying, "Will you eat me?" to Pharm, who says he's hungry, is completely like a perverted old man in training, so please be careful! You'll end up on this side! Ha, I wonder how much of this is the script and direction, and how much is ad-lib... I guess they won't tell me, and that's fine. For now, I'll assume Pharm staring at Senior's muscular bare back as he puts on his clothes is part of the direction. That's the Dean-obsessed Pharm for you. Also, he grips the duvet with both fists and pulls it over his head after Senior leaves. Can I survive this 'moe'? Did he get embarrassed at this late stage? Or is it a sigh of relief? No, is he soaking in the memories of a happy time? No, that's not it, is it more like, "Wow... wow... what do I do! I really did it with P'Dean!! It's not a dream, right? What do I do, what do I do, I've never seen P'Dean like that, eh, is everyone doing this? Ha~ I don't know what kind of face to talk to P'Dean with now~~~"? (I don't know.) (Also, the delusion is long.)
Yes, so, for the first time in Yamamoto's history, the impressions have spanned across two parts! (Character count exceeded.) For now, this wonderful morning will continue in the second part, so I would be happy if you would continue to accompany me!
