THIS WAS LITERALLY A GEM?
I was NOT expecting this.... I legit thought it was going to be like one of those boring new BLs and I was really hesitant especially cuz it's new ...but I liked the series cover it looked interesting then I went and saw some clips of the kiss ...and when I saw that it was in episode 9 i was like DAMNN!! i have to wait that long?? This series must not be that good.Oh boy was I wrong.
From the acting to their chemistry...to the story, plot the comedy this series was literally soooo well done. The comedic scenes were in their perfect place and was so natural and actually really freaking funny.. like legit laughing out loud!! I cried many times because of J&J relationship. Their story did not feel forced or rushed...it was told absolutely in a perfect and beautiful way befitting their characters.
Let's not even talk about how handsome they both are..and that sexy scene AHHHH!!!
All of the characters were amazing (boss sister nang, rose, grandma - her words always made me tear up-) especially their friends group!! I immediately went on and followed all of them on Instagram and watched clips because I was really invested and interest to know WHO they were and how comes I've never seen ANY of them ANYWHERE
Absolutely 100% recommend this..Thank you to everyone who loved this series and if by some crazy miracle the staff, actors or makers see this review then thank you very much for creating such a beautiful series🙏
To those who didn't like it...what's wrong with you?😭

JUST FINISHED IT AND MAN I LOVE IT!!???
I don't know why people are coming for the story and the cliche parts or coming for literally anything in that drama!! ...like are my standards low or was that just such a good drama!!!??!I've read some review where they were like "the last scene did nothing for me " like brooo no hate but howww ???!?😭😭 you gotta work on your emotions because that scene was sad as fuck and I just realised that that ending scene was supposed to be "heaven"
I was really not going to watch it because of how much I've seen it everywhere and I felt like it was a cliché but I gave in and thank god I did ...maybe how you get affected by this drama depends on how you have lived your life or the things you might currently be dealing with...but this drama deeply resonated with me, because I've watched it during a depressive time and it just became my consolation even though it is just a drama, it was really comforting watching a whole life pan out in front of me from the beginning till the end ...through the pain and struggles till the love. It was comforting knowing that there is hope to live life like that and to experience all those emotions it felt great seeing them struggle and suffer for their loved ones, baek hyunwoo was really out there doing the most!😭
I loved when haein's family came to live with hyunwoo's family. They clearly all needed that and they bonded so well. They all put borders between eachother just because they are different class and thought they were so different from eachother that they wouldn't be able to understand one another but in the end through their shared tragedies they became one big family and that was so satisfying to see(especially the bond between haein's and hyunwoo's moms) Really loved those episodes!
It was beautifully executed, from the acting to the music everything just went well together.
I get the people who are frustrated that they didn't get enough screen time (the leads) and that most scenes were focused on the rivalry with eunsung and his mother but I feel like things were balanced...like if all they talked about were the main lead martial issues then that would truly be a cliché and it would get repetitive.
If you are one of the people who did not like this drama for whatever reason, I won't be able to change your mind of course, but you know what? If we don't focus too much on the details this drama fulfills everything. It's just human beings trying to survive, which is literally what we do everyday and it makes you think that time really does fly and we should really make decisions that we don't regret later because once it's done it will be too late to undo them and then it creates all sorts of after effects like people being hurt and misunderstandings. But it also lets you know that life is so fucking beautiful!
I am honestly satisfied, I've bawled my eyes so many times and I have to watch the behind the scenes to satisfy this fire that was left from watching this drama and to get over it lol😭😭
Thank you for reading! 🙏☺️

Could have had more potential
Idk....it started well but they lost me towards the end. So many questions unanswered!! So dream just randomly goes back to visits his cafe and finds that night had bought it but they never even talk about that ...idk some things just felt a bit messy and I am sorry to say this but i felt as though nights acting needs to be improved a little...The part where he faced his dad was good ..but then? Nothing came out of it and he just told his dad he would work for him like??!? We needed to know why his dad reacted the way he did after he was faced ...cuz even after reacting that way nothing changed!! He didn't try to reconcile with night or anything and instead just nodded when he told him he was gonna work with him.
The only good thing were the kisses THE TWO KISSES and the cute moments between night and dream and day and dream.
Yes also how do you not know if your best friend has a sibling?
Overall - 5/10

Life changing experience....
5 years later..... After watching ITSAY almost 2 years before watching IPYTM (finished it literally today ) i have to say that it really deeply resonated with me.EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS DESERVES AN OSCAR IDC !!!!
THE PRODUCTION, STORY, VISUALS, ACTING, OST literally everything was done perfectly...this story will be remembered for years to come.
I still remember when I started watching ITSAY I was so confused...like it wasn't like any other BL and when I later discovered that that's literally how it was meant to be and trying to decipher all the metaphors( that I was literally shocked to know existed) it was all so fun! Mostly sad but also fun.
It was really an emotional rollercoaster..... When I finished ITSAY I didn't know that they'd be a second season and when I found out ..I kept procrastinating and being like "I'll just watch it later" I think part of me knew how heavy it was and was not ready to feel all that.
I really don't know why it took me so long to watch IPYTM BUT I THINK I WATCHED IT AT A SUITABLE TIME. My emotions were at their
Like I cried so much during IPYTM....this series has left so many lingering feelings....emptyness...sadness....hurt but of course hope and happiness.
Since it has depicted relationships in its most true and pure form without sugar coating... it's made me really excited for the future...because I am someone who's PETRIFIED of relationships and the whole thing about "finding my person" has always been a tabo but this series has made me look forward to it....I have learnt no matter how much pain and sorrow you go through..once you find YOUR person you will always go back to them and you will always find a way to work jt out ... I hope I can build a relationship as beautiful as oh-aew's and Teh's
This was literally amazing and it will forever be a standard. Thank you creating this masterpiece.
