coming back again to just remind everyone that all of your reactions and personal analyses of ipytm, or any media, are valid. our own experiences have shaped the way we respond to plot decisions and characterizations. your anger, your disappointment, because of the way you interpreted something even if the showrunners may not have intended to portray it like so, is justified. or if you're relieved, impressed; if you're not reduced to a puddle of woe—that's amazing, and I wish I could be too.
it always amazes me the range of discourse that could arise from a single episode of a show, or a single chapter in a book. whether episode 3 was a deal breaker or just another bump in the road, your emotions and criticisms are always, always valid.

Seeing your gifset for pp krit x billkin: as always | live session, 07.14.22 made me go watch the video again to relive my favorite moments: PP’s little look of absolute delight as Billkin picks him up & his look of “why are you like this” when Billkin puts the flower in his mouth. Thank you for a lovely evening! ❤️
isn’t their dynamic the best? they have one of those relationships that defy definition, something they’ve said themselves only about, oh- 1000 times. 😂
what I love about this MV in particular is that they’re completely solo artists here with total creative control. this isn’t for an ad, an upcoming show or anything other than what they’re wanting to portray & put out into the world- and they choose this *waves at so-sweet-it’s-stupid*
I read this article last year about the romance that can be found in friendship- BKPP embody that so well for me.
God, I just adore ‘em- I’m glad me being nostalgic made your night a little better! 💖

First off...can we talk about the quality on display here? ITSAY was already high quality cinema, with fantastic direction, production, cinematography and acting, but honestly they look to have kicked things up SEVERAL notches in all departments. IPYTM really does have a completely different feel, even in the scenes that look to be set in Phuket. Everything in ITSAY was bathed in this golden light, the colour grading was very warm toned even in the nighttime scenes. It glowed. IPYTM looks much more 'real world', like the fantasy has lifted. It's a cooler palette, the light is more white, and the colours are truer. Also, it looks like our boys have hit a new level, acting wise, and I can't wait to see it.
I find it narratively delicious that now it looks like the tables have turned. Whereas before Teh was the one confused, doubting, the one who didn't understand himself, everything he has gone through has now made him sure. He is sure of his dream, having almost lost it. He is sure of his love, having walked through the fire for it. Teh has come through this first journey of discovery and arrived on the other side. But now Oh Aew is faltering. I talked in the ITSAY analyses about Oh's self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. To him, Teh is a fixed point that he set his eyes on long ago, and he has judged himself against Teh in terms of his abilities and his dreams. Without that driver, he has always been more ambivalent about his future, more unsure, more unquiet. So what now happens when his world expands? When there are now other standards to judge against, other interests to maybe pursue?
We see in the trailer the boys auditioning together, might whatever happens there be a catalyst for Oh Aew starting to question whether this dream he fell into while his eyes were fixed on Teh is really what he wants? In my episode 1 ITSAY rewatch analysis, I said this:
...Teh does still subconsciously think that Oh Aew isn’t quite up to his level in terms of talent, smarts and dedication, and Oh Aew still suffers from the self-doubt caused by Teh’s words all those years ago. The fact that Teh also loves him so desperately (ah, youth) he will totally self-immolate to take the obstacles out of Oh Aew’s path and give him whatever his heart desires (ep 4), and that Oh Aew will let go of his own desires to keep Teh in his life (ep 5) is a powder keg of a relationship dynamic.
Teh knows that he's good at acting, that he wants to be an actor, and it looks like he delves into it even outside of school. Contrast with Oh, who seems to spend his time outside of school with friends, partying, hanging out. This tracks, he was always the more social one, it's how he drew Teh out of himself. Now the very traits that drew them to each other are starting to come between them. The realer Teh's dream gets...
...the more Oh feels lost and confused.
And we know that when Teh is suffering he turns inward, while Oh turns outward, to others. And it looks like Teh REALLY does not like how Oh does that:
There are so many parallels and callbacks to ITSAY in the IPYTM trailer, but there are two that really stood out to me:
Teh is going to find it hard, on multiple levels, to accept Oh faltering this way. It's an impulse he doesn't understand at all, giving up. Teh is a 'find a way' type of guy, and also probably can't fathom going through everything they went through and then just quitting.
The second callback that stood out for me:
My god, he's even wearing the same shirt. That's blatant symbolism, they wanted to make it CLEAR what's happening here, they want to send you right back to that moment when you see this scene.
There are lots of other fun little tidbits in the trailer I'll probably do a few more posts on next week. I'm so excited to see this next part of Teh and Oh's story.
