It could be the blue shorts, but ITSAY gave me Love Sick vibes from the very beginning. Both have that raw, vulnerable, and uncertain feeling that accompanies young love and discovering one’s self. The filter used in ITSAY also imparted a retro feeling that took me back to the early days of Thai BL.
Both are stories of teens coming of age and falling in love, set in beautiful seaside towns. ITSAY is a bit more dramatic and has a lot more going on in the background, but it is also much longer. His is simple, short, sweet and very genuine. Both are very well written and have great conversations about what it is like to fall in love and grow up as a young adult.
