Why do you think they have slept together many times? I'm counting two or three times and apparently they have not had any kind of sex yet, which is extremely weird and unrealistic.

You think Jin and Bbomb communicate? Bbomb is insanely jealous of everyone who gets within ten feet of Jin, Jin is feeling that and disliking it but they haven't talked about it. I'm waiting for Bbomb to pull out an assault rifle and take out the entire school. Oh, wait a minute, that's an American thing...

Ugh. I dislike this show but will keep watching because i've come this far. Bbomb is now an evil psycho, stalker, jealous as shit boyfriend instead of a lover. He gives the stare of death to anyone that speaks to Jin, even for legitimate, school-related reasons. He got annoyed at Som Som for giving a drink to Jin. He's a weirdo now. Apparently he and Jin haven't even had sex yet, which is ridiculous.

But they went from limping with crutches to running like they'd never been injured overnight. It was silly. I can't believe nobody in production catches and corrects these mistakes. Most shows have a person whose job it is to catch shit like that and let the director know: Continuity Director. I think most BLs don't bother with that position. lol

You don't think Bbomb went from longing, loving pursuit of Jin to acting like a super-possessive, angry, stalker boyfriend pretty quickly? It's downright creepy and threatening to me. He gets upset every time Jin talks to anyone, even that sweet Som Som who he turned down. Scary.

Random responses to episode 7 in the spoiler below:

This show is beginning to annoy me. Well, it is annoying me more than before, I should say. Main characters are all over the map for no apparent reason. Suddenly, as soon as things are good, Bbomb becomes a psycho/jealous/stalker/hyper-possessive weirdo.

I haven't checked but the writer has to have been a woman. Two guys newly in love would be all over each other all the time and apparently these two haven't gotten it on once. They sleep together like sisters and act like a couple who's been together forever and is growing tired of each other.

I don't usually care for super-affectatious, stereotypically screaming queen characters in BL, but somehow Sister has managed to keep me liking him a lot even though he's about as screaming as you can get. He has a good heart and doesn't seem mean and bitchy like so many of those characters. His sidekick Bam is fun too.

I like most of the male side-characters/friends. Many cuties and all seem to have distinct personalities. I'm partial to Song. The actor played that horrible, evil manipulator, fucked-up, severely damaged character in TharnType and did a damn good job of it. I wish he'd land a lead role in something.

There is a lot of random weirdness going on. Who's the person who is apparently Jeam's GF while he's lusting after various dudes, including Jin and the cutie-pie Ball? That he's decided to flee from Ball every time he runs into him is interesting. He just always seems to be hanging around everywhere, but is creepy and secretive at the same time. He is the type who could turn out to be a serial killer.

Jin needs to dump Bbomb who is no longer charming but actively threatening to anyone that pays Jin any attention, even when it is completely legit, school-related activity. This is NOT good BF material.

Absurd how the handsome Mark went from being Jin's casual friend to falling in love with him and deliberately challenging Bbomb beccause Jin seduced him with a line delivery from the play.

Hilarious that the bleach blond director of the play was such an asshole from the very first. Also amusing that he cast the play without auditions for actors he didn't know and they're doing publicity stills before the first rehearsal. lol

Anyway, this series will fade from memory as soon as its over, but I'll probably watch it through to the end for the hell of it.

I'm curious: What is your motivation in pushing the false narrative that IPYTM has been a "flop," when in fact the opposite is true? The audience numbers and the ratings are very good, at times better than for ITSAY, yet you just announce that it's been a "flop." Which means you are deliberately lying. Any show that get the reviews, publicity, watch numbers and profits that this series is getting is a HIT, not a "flop." So what's your motive? Why don't you just stop watching and go away instead of deliberately trying to trash the show with false information?

You might also check out the number of watches the beautiful OST numbers are getting on Youtube. We are talking in the range of 33 million viewers. Those are all people who sought out those videos because they love this series. Those are numbers higher than many well-known K-Pop band videos receive. Yet here you are, implying this show is a failure. What's up with that?

Agree to disagree. To me his insecurity skyrockets when he's with Mork, and this episode is far from the first time I've felt that. You and I just pick up different vibes from what's been presented before. Actually, I don't really care that much one way or the other because I'm not emotionally invested in this one like I am in IPYTM.

Your first line made me laugh. Actually, I loathe the Kardashians with the fiery heat of a thousand suns.

I put up my artwork on IG once in a while, but that's it. For marketing I should really use it a lot more.

The Oab vid is really no big deal. I think he said he likes the flack he's been taking because it indicates how the story and show has gotten to people, or something like that, which is very true. It may be that the company doesn't WANT the controversy to die down...like I said, any publicity is good publicity, so they're not defending anyone.. And they shouldn't have to, of course. In a way, to respond at all just feeds the fire of madness. SM types love the attention and if the company responds, that's a feather in their cap.

I haven't even watched season 1. :) I don't know, I just have this idea that it's syrupy sweet and antiseptic, and I like dramas that are down, dirty and infected. lol

I do, because if a person keeps promising change and then repeats the offending behavior they are demonstrating the LACK of change. I'm mainly responding to the very Puritanical and vindictive attitude among some commenters that "people like Teh" should be condemned to Hell after being tortured and dismembered.

Hi there. Yeah, I think this attitude that everyone should get what THEY want in the most ridiculous situations is a result of social media and the Internet in general. Online hordes of "fans" or "armies" can wreck careers and get shows cancelled even, as happened in Korea recently, if they stir up enough of a shit storm, get some media coverage of the storm and then build on that. It doesn't seem to matter that there's maybe 50,000 commenters getting a multi-million dollar production cancelled that would have been broadcast to 50 million people. It is insane. It's horrible in the K-Pop world especially. Social media personalities and random commenters feel absolutely entitled to what THEY want from a show or a musician's album or they don't like who this actor is dating so they trash them...and on and on.

I haven't paid much attention to the production company of IPYTM's handling of the little hurricane in a punch bowl reaction to Teh's makeout session with Jai, except for watching one brief video put out showing the actor who played Jai addressing the complaints and threats, etc. If the marketing department handles it well, though, they will be able to use this temper tantrum to gather MORE publicity for the show and as we know ANY publicity is good publicity. I don't keep up with Twitter, IG or Tumbler because they are full of narcissistic weirdos who think the Kardashians are a great thing.

Or...maybe Pi seems inconsistent because he IS inconsistent. He wants his relationship with Mork secret but he can't stand seeing others flirt with Mork and ship him with Bam. Lots of us feel two ways about the same thing at the same time. I read Pi as freaking out because the hottest/nicest guy in school wants him but he feels he isn't worthy; at the same time he wants that guy himself but he's scared to show it for fear he'll get dumped in the end, but at the same time he doesn't want anyone else to have Mork either. I find all that craziness very consistent with many people's feelings when first dealing with a major romantic situation.

I don't agree about Pi seeming confident in the middle part of the series. To me he always seemed insecure and had no friends of his own. He got rid of the glasses and the braces, but inside everything stayed the same.

UNLESS they have changed and don't behave selfishly anymore. I believe people CAN and DO change and if they do they should be forgiven.

BRAVO!

Name a "trope" that hasn't been used a thousand times over. Go ahead, I'll wait. NOTHING is as powerful as the cheating plot device. They presented it in a very original way, I think. Where else have you seen a theatre director use physical and emotional manipulation and sexual attraction to get what he wants from an actor? Where else have you seen this alleged "cheating" STOP at a passionate kiss? To me, Teh's emotional cheating is the bigger problem, not the kissing. They didn't f**k and that seems kind of significant.

well, do you want a second rehash of itsay or something new? I think Oh aew is still hopelessly in love with Teh for starters. He has been crying for two weeks and when his friends comfort him all laying down and he breaks into sobs, my heart broke too. After two weeks of sobbing, he still loves Teh.. His heart and soul ache for Teh. And Teh is a mess on the surface but in his heart of hearts it is all about Oh aew. I don't care that people hate Teh right now, no one is irredeemable if they show they have changed. Teh may want to be an actor but maybe he realized he doesn't have the fortitude for it. It is a ball-busting industry. I don't think he deleted the social media pics.

Yeah, that whole thing was bullshit from the start. Jai has no ethics.

I'm thinking along the same track. I think Teh may have done something monumental in the last five minutes of this ep that will eventually change everything. I hope so.
