A Cinematic Masterpiece!

This review will not be able to truly emphasize how amazing this series is because you have to experience it yourself to fully grasp the majesty that is ITSAY but I will try. It encompasses raw emotions, youth, yearning and learning about oneself like no other show I've watched this year. I wouldn't even consider it a BL to me it's a beautiful coming of age and love story. BKPP at their best! superb acting, they made you feel those emotions coupled with one of the best OST Billkins beautiful voice and PPs soft tender voice. All the writers for the story should feel proud with this amazing story they created P'Boss, P'Goy P'Naron P'Karakade! P'Boss is a genius director you wouldn't have what itsay is if it wasn't for his directing. Cinematography made it feel like a movie and not a series the way they use the lighting and environment of Phuket allowed for beautiful scenes that enhanced the experience. When people started commenting that it was one of the best bls ever I didn't want to watch it. I didn't want anything knocking down my number one (Tharntype) so I held off, I was hesitant, in my mind I was saying "nothing can replace Tharntype" then I watched it... sorry Tharntype you are no match, no bl is a match for this series, now don't get me wrong I still love Tharntype, and I consider it at the top of my list, but itsay shattered my preconceptions of what a bl series should be altogether. It is what it is a Cinematic Masterpiece. Go watch it!

Lets start off by saying this show is awesome and please watch it, just for some of the actors in it who were really good.

The story -
Average run of the mill trope (Main couple meets accidentally and guy falls in love and later tries to get said love) Then they added the fake boyfriend trope (very BL) and smushed it 2gether to make a good story that started fantastic and ended up well... lets just say that if you watch this backwards it'll be more rewarding lol.

The Acting - Characters -
Bright - Sarawat - Great voice, his acting is ok Sarawat as a character really isnt that interesting until the end and that was only in one episode. There were plenty of times that his face didnt match the mood i kept thinking in parts"is he angry? wait is he happy?" and it looked like he always was smirking it was weird.. he still hot lol
Win Metawin - Tine- The star in my opinion i had no expectations from him because I've never really heard of him but damn i enjoyed watching him develop and the way he used his expressions to add to the scene omg i love him lol
guy is gonna skyrocket in anything he does. If he does more BLs he'll rank up there with the other BL legends. Lets hope he gets a better role or if they get bright and him to do another show that they allow them more freedom to express especially Bright
Gun - Green - Played a flamboyant character to the fullest very tropey but he did a fantastic job at it and i have a soft spot for him lol kinda left out after the main get together. Loved his interactions with Dim the very little amount they got
Drake - Mil - I love Drake but i don't what happened to this role it was kinda all over the place. Is he bad, is he good, is he nice? He likes tine but then they kinda shows affection to Phukong (btw tragic character but thats later) lots of mixed signals and at the end had a bit more chemistry with Tine then Saraway did lol Either way Drake did good.
Frank - Phukong - Jesus talk about the raw end of the deal this character is tragic as all hell the whole show he pines for Mil and gets spit on and trampled lol with a very lazy ending for them wtf was that hes the second "option" and hes ok with >.> Frank needs a better role dammit anyways was a good effort for Frank he did his best with a character that really didn't do much besides being desperate for a guy that just doesn't want him.
Mike - Man - Actually quite enjoyed man, Mike did a great job especially his first BL role (i think its his first i could be mistaken), His interactions with Type were albeit a little disturbing at some points stalkerish lol but he redeems himself by bot doing the tropey kiss and or touch a drunk Type (you get a thumbs up writers! but that doesnt excuse that ending)...
Toptap - Type - I liked what i saw of the character what very little we got he actually got to act in the end half of the series which wasn't the best half lol he played him as the hard doting older brother (which is hilarious when you put the gigantic Win next to the smaller Toptap, I actually liked that)
Guy - Dim - played the club president wasn't super impactful (The GOOD he showed us hes a true friend to sarawat the BAD he hurts Green? did they skip over that idk maybe im just overthinking or did they interpret the words incorrectly.) Anyways Guy is lovely and its good that he got another role i wish he had more screen time with Gun.
Gunsmile - playing Gunsmile lol its Gunsmile cmon he awesome just being funny lol he plays Boss which is pretty much just him
Nene - Air - I loved he interaction with everyone, especially Tine & Dim, she didn't get much screen time but when she did she was fantastic!
Khaotung - Fong - This took me by surprise i thought he was just going to be a background character like the rest of Tines gang but he actually provides character development to both Tine and Sarawat. More roles for Khaotung please!
The rest of the cast were pretty much background characters, they show up do some parts, either never show up again and/or have no meaningful impact in the story lol sorry

The Music-
Holy bonkers the music is great Bright is a good singer (hes not a technical super gifted vocalist but he has a really nice sound) Also this show has gifted us the music of Scrubb a new generation has found appreciation for this band that alone gives this show at least half its rating.

Rewatch Value -
Watch the first half until they become a couple then stop you'll thank me later lol

Lets talk about that ending.. who in their right mind thought "hey you know what a romantic comedy should end on? A kiss? A hug? A warm and deep Embrace? No even better! A Fucking High Five :D" WHAT?! it left everyone deflated and scratching their heads thinking were they actually a couple? or were really good friends that lived together and "accidentally" kissed once or twice. It lacked a lovers spark after they got "2gether" idk what happened its like they got married after 40 years and now they are at the friend phase of relationship, they aren't physical with each other but they do still love each other >.>What started out with a bang ended with a clap.. of two hands.
It was a great ride, air conditioning, great music, good snacks.. then they hit a road bump.. and then they get a flat and at the end they drove very close to the cliff and then proceeded to drive off it, but hey the trip was great along the way before we fell of the cliff :D

7/10!
