The Colors Between Us

Win's color is blue. Loyal, free, trustworthy, and stable.

Team's color is red. Impulsive, passionate, intensive, and stimulating.

We see their colors throughout the first episode

Bonus: Win's poster is Nirvana (emotionally charged grudge rock band), while Team's is Definitely, Maybe (a romcom) correction - Oasis, the British rock band's album.

We saw the colors in the promo images as well, and also notice Win is the one usually reaching out to comfort Team.

Their backpacks will be the most common form of their colors but look for other items that include the colors.

In the final scene of episode one, we see the two have distinct physical boundaries due to the background curtains.

Win is on the darker side while Team is on the lighter side. However, they provide balance with the hair colors and shirt colors.

As Win continues to ask Team more questions to gauge his level of consent, the boundaries merge as Win starts to move into Team's space (reaching out as usual)

They are now in the bright space in the middle surrounded by the darker color. Even though this will remain a secret between them *wink*, they are fully aware of what they are doing (the light in the darkness).

I'm so glad that the UWMA franchise decided to start with a different type of bang this time around.

Hi, not to risk sounding deranged I was wondering your opinion on the almost constant flicking of eyes to lips in the series. I noticed this particularly with Team/Prem like whenever winteam are in close proximity to eachother they always look like their .5 seconds away from kissing. Just curious if you think this was something they were directed to do to build the characters/relationship or if it's just happening cause of the tension in the moment- either way I love little things like that that show the chemistry between the characters/actors. I'm a sucker for small pieces of intimacy rather than grand gestures cause its so much more realistic.

LISTEN, LOVELY ANON.

I WELCOME DERANGED ASKS WITH SPECIAL FONDNESS AND ENTHUSIASM. THIS IS A PLACE OF EXCESS AND NOISE. YOU ARE SAFE HERE.

Now! With that out of the way!

It could very well be a director thing OR it could be a thing that BounPrem just know to do as actors. Prem also did it as Team in UWMA during the conbini scene, if I'm remembering correctly. He's always been good at those little microexpressions, and he's only gotten better since.

Like take the bus scene in episode 13 where Team's just barely smiling.

It's so hard for me to pinpoint exactly how I can tell he's smiling, but it's some very minute detail around his eyes. Like! He was BRAND NEW to acting when he took the role of Team, and he was already doing little things like this. According to New, he listened extremely closely to all critiques and took direction beautifully, so he improved exponentially throughout filming. And it's been three years since then, so he's just a powerhouse, honestly. He's good at so many things, and he's so devoted to improvement and becoming well-rounded overall. I'm very fond of him. ;___;

I did a whole thing about Prem and his microexpressions when I was brand new to fandom. He's always impressed me.

SO ANYWAY BETWEEN US.

It's definitely happening a lot. The first one I found at random when I went to look is the little surprise kiss during the bottled water scene.

Win looks down at Team's lips for a second, which is clever, because it cuts away to Team right after, so you're not expecting the cut back to Win or the kiss. This might've been a serendipitous choice Boun made that worked out well in post when it came time to edit the scene.

He does it in the wide shot later on at the pool, too!

It's such a little thing, but it's details like that that make rewatching so much fun because on the first watch you're so focused on what's going on in the big-picture sense, you might miss some of these little things.

Whether it was their idea or New's or someone else's influence entirely, I'm a big fan. <3

Between Us fans, I have a question:

Is Win actually meant to be a player (a la Prapai from LITA or Khai in TOL) or is that meant to be a misconception that Team has built up in his head?

Team obviously has a lot of anxiety about the casualness of their relationship. And the conversation he has with ABC at the bar in ep 3 seems to confirm that Win has a lot of options. But just because a lot of girls like Win doesn’t mean he’s dating them, and this information is coming from people who don’t know Win any better than Team does.

The narrative so far never actually shows Win playing the field or fending off admirers. There’s no scenes of girls or boys flocking around him or of him deleting numbers etc. Tul and Dean tease him about not being serious with anyone, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Win dates lots of people–it could just imply that the people he does date don’t move beyond casual.

It doesn’t bother me if Win is a player. I’m more just wondering if this is an instance of Team (and others) not understanding who Win actually is. His whole “cool guy” exterior does seem to imply that lots of people would have crushes on him, but he seems to go through life with a tight knit group of people he really values and for all that he worries about impressing Team, he doesn’t seem overly concerned with how anyone else views him.

Pharm: i cooked breakfast for Dean at my place Manaow: *basically has a boyfriend now Team: *went to home base with swim club VP twice Manaow and Team: WHAT?!!!! *scandalized shriek

Win thought Team and Pharm were dating

This is why he asked...TWICE!

And this is why he snatched the food Pharm made Team!

And why he demanded a ride, so Team couldn't pick up Pharm or take him home.

Win has a strategy. This kid is playing the long game!
