High expectations not met?
So, I belong to those that actually was interested in WinTeam and then decided to watch UMWA before watching BU. Meaning, I did not wait three or so years for a WinTeam series. I think that is the main problem with why people are not satisfied, they had too high expectations and waited for a long time.
IMO, I think it did help a lot to watch UMWA before BU, I have seen people saying you shouldn't watch it because BU!WinTeam is so different, but it would be kinda cool to understand what's going on in the background. DeanPharm would seem so random otherwise.
I didn't really mind seeing a different WinTeam you could say, especially if we consider how we really didn't get much of them in UMWA. Kinda sucks that they changed some scenes completely, but oh well *shrug* Because I do not have the attachment like other long time fans, I don't mind as much.
My biggest problem with the writing though is that it was simply too much. Why did we have not 3 or 4 but FIVE different pairings in this? We could take out Bee and Prince's storyline and everything still would make perfect sense. And, this is gonna be controversial, I wouldn't have minded if they wouldn't have had included WaanTul. I did not care all too much about them.
That, topped with WinTeam's rather draggy dynamics ,caused everything to feel a bit too long. I think if they would have just focused on DeanPharm, WinTeam with a bit of Manaow and Pruek it would have been fine.
Nevertheless, WinTeam have a special place in my heart, even though I did find some of the writing to be quite weak. Maybe it's BounPrem's chemistry or something. I'm still pissed at how annoyed or unwilling Team looked when Win touched him, I'm so glad that trope is slowly dying in BL. We could have had sexy couply WinTeam all the time, damnit!
Also, special shoutout to OhmFluke having much better chemistry in their, like, 3 scenes together.
Overall, had some great moments while simultaneously having a lot of weak ones as well. Saving grace is that I have a special place in my heart for WinTeam! I can't even tell you why, I just do!
