Review – Boun and Prem did a fantastic job at bringing WinTeam to life

Now, let’s talk about where Between Us series stands overall in terms of the storyline and performance.

The show makers have done a fantastic job with presenting the timeline of Until We Meet Again and ties both the series well together. Fans may feel nostalgic at some point and wish to also go back to UWMA (we don’t blame them) for Dean and Pharm arc.

Between Us is a swoon-worthy watch that serves a heartwarming story and to-die-for chemistry between the main leads. However, the course of the story falls loose at a few points and the episodes may seem repetitive. But overall, it’s definitely a must-watch thanks to WinTeam’s slow-growing relationship, coupled with a steamy romance.

Notably, the drama has done a commendable job at walking through Team’s childhood trauma and how he struggles with it even after so many years. From Team panicking while swimming to slowly learning to cope, the development will have you in tears. Prem deserves all the praise for his incredible representation of the character, which tugs at the heartstrings.

Boun, on the other hand, will have you thinking “I wish I had a partner like that.” He too has done a fabulous job at representing the character of Win, who has the biggest heart for the people he loves and will go to any length to take care of them. While doing so, he often puts his own needs in the backseat. Boun expressing these emotions through just his eyes, is simply incredible.

Both the stars have done a fantastic job at bringing Win and Team to life. They successfully delivered the raw emotions behind their respective characters. Right from the start, Boun and Prem kept the audiences hooked as fans rooted for them.
