I think this wasn’t supposed to be groundbreaking and more silly. Other than the really awful turban portion…
This isn’t my favorite show, nor are any of the mains my favorite actor- but the fact that you want to be woke about a comedy BL series and have to sit on a high horse says a lot - about you
Thinking about it now, if I sprained my foot and was in bed and didn’t want a sponge bath i would probably squirm too if my bf tried to take off my underwear.
I was a bit confused why he was doing that after dating for 2 weeks but if it’s 2 years it isn’t as cringy -
But now I’m glad both ships lasted at least 2 years.
I guess that explains why Mork was at the clinic too and why Pi was actually doing dentistry - hard to pay attention while at work and getting 5 minutes at a time
Q was - and he shot that down in a minute. I almost felt bad for Q.
Nah - he was the reverse Bas -
This is Bas' blessing from Ep 5 in ITSAY
"If you don’t, I just want to tell you that I like you. I’ve like you since 10th grade. From the first day of school I got not friends and no one to talk to until you came along. Took me to play stuff, took me to lunch, and I got to meet our friends. It might be funny to think that I’m a closed person, no friends – something like that, but that day I felt like you’re the best. I wanted to be your closest friend. And when time passed, I got feelings for you more and more. And I got confused, like, shit, I liked you? Is that possible? "
For it to have worked, Oh-aew would have to be the Bas, but Q fell for Oh-aew not the other way around. Q, plug and the others were his support system, and Oh-aew recognized that, he would have been co-dependent on his support system. I don't know if that could have changed, and I think Oh was pretty mature in picking up on it and putting it in its place right away. Much like the last scene where he laid out the ground rules for a relationship moving forward with Teh. Oh-aew had exceptional growth between ITSAY start till the end of IPYTM.
I took the day off for today's final episode and I am happy I did.
Bilkin and PP have grown so much as actors. And so did their characters Teh and Oh-aew. And Bas! OMG always so calm, cool, and collected. So refreshing seeing him again.
Technically Teh also cheated on his girlfriend in the first season but nobody cared about that
I dont know, being in love with one person while dating someone else is pretty much cheating - He didnt physically cheat, but he was emotionally cheating.
He liked Bas, then fell in love with Teh, then dated bas, and was still in love with teh.
Sure - he figured it out and broke up with Bas before physically cheating, but its quite the imagery.
It's like when Teh and Jai's legs touched at the Mime show - that was intentionally placed because it was such a pivotal point in ITSAY.

But you can still be shy after 2 years (not me)
Other than the really awful turban portion I think they did some much better things than other shows.
Consent - wasn’t about forcing sex (tonhon - gunsmile bathroom scene) but alcohol with meen - but still got the consent message across
Family w 3 gay sons - wan bringing a boy home ++
The actual final balloon scene - as much as Pi feels alone he had the gang supporting him
Self confidence issues vs confident person
For a silly BL that was part slapstick they got a lot of good things in there

Bravo to Nadao and the cast and crew.

Teh was thinking about Jai during the singing - but Oh-aew was thinking about Teh during the piano recital, while holding hands with Bas.
