Sally

but everyone has their own reasons.

I like him too. but this gives me friend zone vibe, Sam and Earth. I forced myself to watch that, just for the sake of Singto.

"forgetting their first time" that's ridiculous. how could he say this to someone?
people are saying that Teh is naïve. when he had dinner with Jai. obviously he lied to Oh-aew, saying that he's with his friends. so he knows what he's doing is wrong. if he's really innocent or naïve, he would not know how to hide it.
after reading comments i kind of get that they're going to end up together. honestly I don't want that. i don't think that its an happy ending. after watching this episode, all i could say is Teh has no standards.

its a must watch. if you are a BL fan, you would not get disappointed. its highly recommended.

I don't want their salty water reunion anymore. it will not work out. that's the only thing i don't want to see.
going back to being friends, saying that now is really pointless. I'm really curious.

Teh is simply "live for the moment" type. he showed unpredictable behavioural change. I thought he was so in love with Oh-aew. but i was wrong. Teh lost interest in him.
in ITSAY Teh once said that one day he will stop feeling this way. that's what actually happening here. Oh-aew hasn't changed. his heart's still the same. only his lifestyle has changed but that doesn't mean anything. if he changes the shampoo, he wouldn't smell like coconut anymore, so what. everyone has the right to change their preferences anytime they want. but Teh is the one who changed completely. now he's checking his feelings by having sex with him. that's an insult. now I want Oh-aew to reject him completely.

yes, please.

even if they take shots of tequila, the kissing scenes will not look good. because there's no proper story behind it. just like you said they look like two kissing mannequins. that's all.
the kissing scenes have no meaning at all. in my opinion this story is total garbage.

This episode has lots of kissing scenes other than that it has nothing.

they were saying that Gene and Sib were imaginary characters so that they could show the real writer in the end.
they didn't talk much about Aey or Mork after that dinner scene in ep 5. may be they're childhood friends just like Sib and Gene. they didn't tell why Mork likes Aey even after knowing that he has flaws.
i wanted more from Nubsib. but we got nothing from him. i have nothing to talk about Gene. because he didn't know how to handle things and looked submissive. they didn't talk about what happened after that press conference. They didn't show how they handle the media. in the end they looked like kissing dolls. I wanted them to end it naturally. but the ending was all about the writer's imagination.
there's no way viewers could enjoy the fairy tale concepts when they left many things unexplained. breaking the 4th wall and the real writer's cameo weren't necessary to the show. they're unrelated to the storyline. its not like I hate the writer. if she wanted to appear in the show then they should find some other way to do it. her presence totally destroyed the show.

you are totally right there. I usually skip crying scenes in dramas. but this one is different. Its not like everyone can be optimistic in real life. we simply cry if we make mistakes. that's how things work in reality.

that's what I keep asking to myself why this series has only 8.4 rating. the story is so simple but well defined. it has limited episodes, no boring side stories, no weird elements, no product placement and no fillers. its not like any other typical BL stories. I understand that some people don't like the excessive amount of crying scenes. but still the rating didn't do justice to the show.

ya its disappointing. I didn't like the way they edited the first 2 episodes. but it was ok. when i was about to get connected with the storyline. again they ruined it with the ending. that was simply heart-breaking. the ending was weird. just for the sake of the cameo appearance of the real writer, they declared every single character as unreal. so this love story has no meaning at all.

ITSAY was all about teenagers hormonal struggle. no boring side stories. limited episodes and no fillers. so that was very entertaining than any other BL stories. but IPYTM is about life and they are no longer teenagers. so it involves lots of people, no beaches and totally different environment. its only natural that it wont be like ITSAY.
viewers need to get used to this new environment.

The story is simple but effective. No exaggeration and no weird circumstances. Teh accepted a new start. he looked confident and strong. On the other hand Oh aew looked fragile who cant get used to the new environment. its not like everyone can be optimistic in real life. people make mistakes. when we cant make a quick decision to mend it, we simply cry. that's how things work in reality. when we go to a new place, its not always easy to make friends. i always used to skip the crying scenes in dramas. because if you don't like their facial expressions while crying its always hard to watch. but this one is exceptional. I cant help, i replay the crying scenes.
its really a very good start. they looked like any other real life couples. its so meaningful, and not anything silly. honestly i had nothing to skip in Ep 1.

I feel you. i kind of get what you're trying to say about Nubsib's character. thought I was the only one who felt that way about Kao. I liked him in Until We Meet Again. that stiffness did suit his character there. its not like he can't act. i would say its director's fault here. he tried to make him look so romantic. but actually the director failed to make him look real. especially when Nubsib talks, he keeps moving his face in an unusual way. at that moment i felt, can't he act normal? they didn't know how to express that character well. they ruined the show in many different ways not only the ending. it looked like they cared only about the kissing scenes not the story or the acting. why i'm saying that its director's fault because the way Gene cried in Ep6 and 11 looked fake, and uncomfortable to watch. we cant say that he cant act.

the ending would have been better if they showed how they handle the scandal. i thought Nubsib would do something about it, but in the end he was just standing there like a doll.
no conversation between Gene and Sib after that press conference. then they started kissing like nothing happened. should we call that an happy ending?
when they left many things unanswered, the fairy-tale sequences weren't necessary to the storyline. they added fillers, just because they don't know how to end the series with a believable plot. this show was surprisingly good. but sadly they ruined it in the end.

I completely agree with you.

honestly i don't get the ending. they filled ep 12 with the writers struggle to finish a novel and it looked unrealistic. if they couldn't able to finish it with a logical conclusion then it's a failure.
i really liked the way you described about the characters. especially Aye. yes, the actor doesn’t know how to act. Aye's just a disgusting character and not mentally ill.
in my opinion the director wanted to talk about the media, film industry, and anti fans. but they failed to covey the message.
I thought Nubsib's skilled enough to persuade the company to stay with Gene but in the end nothing happened. and i thought he's really going to beat up someone. i wonder what's the story behind it. I was curious since they didn't include that scene in the series. i wanted to watch him in action since Gene looked submissive. we got nothing from Sib except that unwanted kissing scene in the end.
finally they were saying that Gene and Sib were imaginary characters so the viewers can decide an ending of their own. that was very irrational. the way they ended looked like they're mocking BL fans and declaring them as cheap. or they would have thought that viewers would accept anything they show as an ending.

no proper conversation between the characters. if they're really talking about the dark side of the media then they wouldn't be kissing like nothing happened in the end. going against the whole industry and media aren't an easy task. they should have talked more about the reality. they filled the last episode with delusional ideas to divert everyone from the saddest truth.
