*rant incoming*

Ever since ITSAY, I've never really liked Teh. Always thought he was too fixed in his ways and was a complete jerk and coward. So when I watched IPYTM, I was not surprised he cheated on Oh-aew. I always thought Oh-aew was too good for him anyways. But what I hate the most is how despite being caught cheating, Teh had the nerve to gas-lit and avoid answering detailed questions by saying stuff like "I don't know. I don't want you to think about this". You don't want your boyfriend to think about your growing feelings for your senior/director? What?! Then Teh proceeded to try to lessen his guilt by saying he wouldn't see Jai again after their play if that'll help but the thing is...it's not like he had a choice? Jai was planning to move to New York once he was accepted there anyway...? And didn't you say if Oh had any questions about the play then to ask you..? Instead Oh knows better than Teh that there was no actual kiss scene because he was there! Teh really undermines Oh and all because Oh never had a lifelong dream career.
And Jai, the senior/director, knew what he was doing, admitted to planning everything where Teh would develop feelings for him, and he then had the audacity to call it 'director's styling' when confessed to and confronted. I'm sorry, but if this is your directing styling, you're not going to get far as a director without catching cases! And was this May's way of handling things and she's just passing it down to Jai?? I don't understand. We know deep down Jai has feelings for Teh, because when Teh and Dream were practicing/rehearsing/working on their 'about to kiss' scene, Jai broke it up. Knowing it's his own jealousy, he then projects that feeling onto Oh when Oh is going to confront him about the kiss between Teh and Jai. Jai's initial reaction, seriously, was "Teh is an actor and will have to kiss other people so don't be jelly". You're talking to a former acting student Jai.

I have to say the first episode was borderline fun to watch but as the show progresses to this year by year every new episode, this season started losing its charm (if it had any to begin with). And as our timeline gets farther and farther away from ITSAY (with the exception of ep 5) there were fewer and fewer callbacks to the first series. We don't hear about their families and colleagues were acting like Teh and Oh met and only started dating freshman year of uni., after three years of dating and knowing each other even longer than that, Teh still can't be truthful to Oh unless he needs to roast Oh in front of friends and colleagues. I'm so done with this man. Teh's arc was also hard to get through, he looked depressed and pouty 90% of the time.

I also hate that since ITSAY, the characters would try to confirm if their crushes were mutual by touching thighs even when their crushes were in relationships or pursuing someone else. Oh did it to Teh after Oh and Bas were closer to being a thing than ever and after Teh admitted to kissing Tan. Teh did it to Oh when Oh was in an established relationship with Bas. Then Teh did it to Jai when he was in a 3-year relationship with Oh.

I would have given this sequel a higher rating had it focused more on Oh and his four friends but..that wasn't the case so.
