Yeah I think they can do the same story with half the episodes. I don't know why Chinese Dramas like so many episodes, it's not even historical or something.
Sorry but this didn't move me all, pacing was damn slow and yet I suffered whiplash from how quickly Rio just switched feelings. And there's hardly any chemistry at all between the couples, except maybe between Yuna and Akari. Sad.
It's not as bad as the comments make it seem. Sure, the second couple make it so tiresome with their toxicity and the other secondary characters were bland. I wish FL was more spunky and less naive, the things she does really.....like leaving that Joon duplicity list on her laptop is like duh. And why in the world would she take her personal laptop to work? There are other plotholes in the drama but I was willing to overlook the ML. Although I did wish sometimes that they casted a real kpop idol in the role who could actually sing and dance. But I'll give Tae Joon an A for effort.
Edit: after reading all the comments, I've decided to just rewatch the movie and thats it! Id rather be heart…
Haven't watched IPTYM yet but I see a lot of comments being disappointed and I really don't like cheating tropes and reuniting later. So I am hesitant to watch it.
Your review expressed my sentiments exactly. ! I thought I was the only one questioning about the lambo and the glaring plot holes! They are trying to make an intricate who-done-it but ended up convoluting the story. Even the climax wasn't a climax. I also FFwd Scenes with Xin Tang as I think she was just in the drama to shed as many clothes as possible.
I'm struggling to finish this drama but will keep watching since I've made it this far though skipping through half of it. I'm not a fan of over-the-top campy shows, and didn't realize this would be one. Oh well.

Exactly!! I still have to find a BL sequel that justifies their existence! I've had to drop most, if not all, second installments of a drama/movie because they could not live up to the original work and this is no different.
I hope the initial panic and hysteria from some fans about what's going on with Teh and Oh-Aew's relationship…
Exactly, and a realistic ending does not always mean "happy ending" and "happy endings" do not necessarily mean "happily forever after." People only see "Happy endings" when a chapter of a person's life, "ends" happily, but we really do not know a couple's ultimate ending until they grow old and die. Snow White may end up having gastric cancer from eating all those apple pies; Cinderella may end up having swollen feet and painful calluses from wearing those goddamn glass slippers all day; etc. etc. Having said that though, I still do not get why they need to go down the cheating path; because relationships hardly ever fully recover once you lose someone's trust. Hence, I dropped TWM:NC despite my love for MaxTul because I couldn't justify adultery as a test of strength of a relationship. Sometimes, a better "ending" would be the realization that your best friend may not necessarily be your best lover and vice versa. TBH, I'd rather have a resolution that fits the narrative than a forced conclusion just to satisfy the audience's appetite.
