My memory is not the best and my weeks have been jumbled into each other but- was Keam not avoiding Ball last episode? He got so flustered and shy around him and just an episode later he has gained an imense amount of confidence out of nowhere?? I shouldn't judge too quickly because Keam's personality and motive have been portrayed excellently as 'mysterious'. He totally could just be an impulsive person but I just felt like his actions didn't really fit.
I have seen your comments all throughout the weeks that IPYTM has been airing. I absolutely loved hearing your…
Aww shoot you're very welcome! I also fear sharing my thoughts, heck, I even nearly canceled that big message above. I'm glad I decided to hit 'post' in the end! I really do have a hard time seeing the brighter side of life, your hopes of letting people know that there's light at the end of the tunnel really worked. I'm very glad I could tell you this. Have an amazing rest of your day/night and God bless you too!
ikr? i like how she puts a lot about herself in each one, i feel like all her projects are super personal, which…
Oh my gosh ahh you're very sweet :,) and ooh yes!! I have Forbidden on my 'plan to watch' list. I didn't realize it was by HBO Asia, that's so cool! Now I'm even more excited for it to start airing :3
Not as unhealthy as watching the trailer more than 3 times a day LOL (not saying I did or didn't) ~_^
Oh if anyone (definitely probably not you) did that, they'd totally have me beat! I like going into shows as blind as possible, so I actually haven't seen the 9 minute trailer!! xD
Oh my gosh haha! It didn't take me long to start crying either and I basically never stopped until the end lol…
Good luck on your recovery lmfaoooo! Took me 8 hours before my head was clear enough to come read everyone elses comments here haha Also yes!! After a stressful few episodes, seeing our boys again was so perfect. And the fact that they're all still happy goofy
ikr? i like how she puts a lot about herself in each one, i feel like all her projects are super personal, which…
I was gonna mention my disappointment towards the fact that Not Me is by GMMTV but I didn't wanna bash anyone lol I'm glad you're also upset by this. Though I have no doubt in my mind that she'll make it work. Anucha always does, and does it well too!!
Also I apologize for my ignorance, Anucha seems to be more recognized in the industry than I thought. I'll be more thoughtful and do my research next time :) And yes! I'm very excited for all her work to be exposed to a much larger audience very soon! They're all amazing pieces of art c:
OKAY YALL IM 6 MINUTES IN EP 5 AND IM ALREADY CRYING CAUSE I JUST REALISED THAT IT'S THE LAST EPISODE OF THE LAST…
Oh my gosh haha! It didn't take me long to start crying either and I basically never stopped until the end lol I also definitely laughed in hysterical-sobbing excitement when I saw Bas!! We all needed him :,)
I'm late to the party but I needed a long time to process my thoughts, take everything in, and read just about every single comment from after ep. 5 released until now.
Right off the bat; ITSAY ended beautifully and got a proper ending- Part 2 wasn't necessary. For some, their favourite couple/BL series had been tarnished by the drama that went down in IPYTM. To each their respective own, that was not the case for me. While Part 2 wasn't needed and I would've wished for more out of it, I think it's still incredible and well-done.
My biggest problem was the short amount of episodes. The limited episodes called for massive time-jumps. It was all presented in a way that, with deep consideration, an understanding of what happened in between each time-jump is possible. Seeing those little details of Teh and Oh-aew's relationship and struggles would've been nice, though.
There were a lot of times where I felt like I couldn't breathe due to the stress that IPYTM was giving me. That goes to show just how powerful the presentation of the show is. But I would have appreciated a break from the drama and, for example, seen some lighthearted scenes of Teh and his roommate trying to get along. That's where my imagination will have to come in, I suppose. And that's okay- since we didn't have very much backstory or "inbetweens" of the main couple, I won't let side characters affect my final view too much.
Next onto what I did like: the story. Yes, yes, we've seen infidelity in plenty of season 2 BLs before. BUT I have never seen it to such an extent when looked into deeply. Jai is emotionally manipulative- he dug deep into Teh's insecurities and pretended to be a safe person and comforting person all for his own benefit. I have experienced severe emotional manipulation myself and I have to say: Well. F*cking. Done. While Jai did feel bad that Teh caught one-sided feelings for him, he seemed to honestly think what he did was fine. Maybe not even realize what he was doing... Exactly!!- That's so very similar to my own abuser's way of thinking! Jai's character is perfect and disgustingly accurate to emotionally abusive people. Oab did not disappoint.
One thing I noticed was that people were saying that Teh changed and IPYTM ruined them for him. That's so valid!! Though personally, he didn't seem very different from Part 1. He was doubtful, uncertain, selfish, and impulsive in Part 2... Was he not just the same in ITSAY? Sure, what he did was unforgivable and in NO WAY am I trying to defend him for what he did, I simply don't think these behaviours were too far off from how Teh acted and felt in Part 1.
Now the ending. I already told myself that I would be okay whether or not Teh and Oh-aew would decide to get back together. I knew the IPYTM production team wouldn't give us a simple, happy rainbows ending. "In Nadao We Trust" stuck with me for all 5 weeks of IPYTM's airing, and they didn't let me down. Originally, I really was hoping that Oh would have some self respect and leave Teh's indecisive-confused-cheating-ass. We did see that! And then again in the parkade at Teh's play, Oh was standing up for himself and not letting Teh back in his life. I'm so proud of him for doing that! Even though he later realized that's not what his heart wanted, I'm still unbelievably proud of my boy for having some respect for himself. Now, oh boy would I have loved seeing the harsh reality of most first relationships not working out in the end, I'm okay and content with them getting back together. I truly believe Teh knows what he wants (even though it took a painfully long time to figure it out. Again, it's just how his character is written.) Oh-aew really can't stop loving Teh either. The genuine feelings are there and Oh makes it clear that Teh must communicate with him to make their relationship work this time, making what he deserves clear and showing self-respect. There's so much maturity in that scene. I think it's nicely done and quite clear that they've both grown emotionally, mentally and physically. I'm more than pleased with it.
This season wasn't necessary and will never compare to the masterpiece that is I Told Sunset About You BUT I do not regret watching it at all. I got attached to I Promised You The Moon's dark and twisted ways and I had a fantastic time watching it as well as interacting with people on MDL while it was airing! 9.25/10 (though, I will round it up to 9.5)
The moment I saw Jai in episode 5, my middle finger automatically went up... how weird
Same! I love his actor so much (Oab's face is truly my favourite thing to look at) but damn, he really did a good job at making me hate Jai's face. If the show were longer and had room for extra storylines, I would've loved to see Jai fail as a director and watch his whole life fall apart.
This is the ending I wanted and got....and this is what the reality is...despite any flaws or missteps they never…
I have seen your comments all throughout the weeks that IPYTM has been airing. I absolutely loved hearing your personal stories! To me, you come off as very wise and rational. I also noticed a youthful glow when you mentioned you are a "hopeless romantic" a few weeks ago (sorry if that was not something you said and I'm mistaking you for someone else) There was something so comforting about seeing your comments and hearing your insights. I felt like I was sitting in my grandmother's kitchen, eating her homemade cookies while she told me about her past experiences as a young adult in the real world. My grandmother and I do that often and those talks/lessons are my favourite! To not make this too long or any more creepy-sounding than it already is, I just want to genuinely thank you. IPYTM was a positively stressful few weeks for most of us and the comment section here was filled with so many things that made me feel very overwhelmed. Your comments made me feel safe and somehow reminded me to breathe properly after a stressful episode lol. So again, thank you for being here. I hope to see your comments again on the MDL pages of more shows to come! Much love.
They won't renew the contracts they have with the owners of these shows. I'm assuming this is simply because these shows aren't very popular anymore, therefore less people are streaming them. If they were to sign another contract for Sotus or Love Sick, Netflix would be losing money instead of gaining money.
ikr? i like how she puts a lot about herself in each one, i feel like all her projects are super personal, which…
Totally!!! I think you touched exactly what my finger couldn't lol but I absolutely agree with what you said. You can feel all the genuine emotion and care that's put into her work. She proves to us that you don't need lots of money to tell a good story- you just need passion. I'm also always excited for her new projects! Hopefully with the upcoming series "Not Me" she'll get the recognition and appreciation she deserves for being such a talented director/screenwriter :,)
I told my brother about the plot of this series (he does not watch Asian TV at all) and he said "if this were made in America, it would be a HORROR movie"
Episode 1 was so much fun! Way fluffier than I thought it'd be. I didn't watch the trailer so that could be a reason for my false assumption. Also it's only the first episode; there's definitely more drama and ~heat~ to come lol! I'm definitely very hyped for next Wednesday!!
I think the slowness of ep. 13 (Masuk) so far makes much more sense than the slow pace we got from ep. 11-12 (Sat). Masuk's story is tragic and you have more time to understand and think about his situation. That being said, it still isn't good. It just happens to already be one of the better episodes of the train wreck of a series known as 'Y-Destiny'
I shouldn't judge too quickly because Keam's personality and motive have been portrayed excellently as 'mysterious'. He totally could just be an impulsive person but I just felt like his actions didn't really fit.
Have an amazing rest of your day/night and God bless you too!
