BEST EP OF THE SERIES

Hi! I'm back with preliminary thoughts on EP 7... Can I just say whew.... I need to take a breather after this episode because... wow there's just so much to take in... INSANITY. I love this episode so much and this might be my all-time favorite of the series because that rain kiss, the olive oil scene.... jesus fuck i think i hit climax just watching this episode...Okay enough... onto my thought...Oh they’re insane… using this tragic sapphic love story to start to start the homophobic dad storyline in EP. 7… i really like that they portrayed it as news as well instead of having it be fictional.Khun Yai hugging Jom from behind with that smirk on his face… oh he is a BIG BABY. The nose scrunch Jom makes when he is hugging Khun Yai oh he is truly the cutest. I love them being happy and comfortable. NO ANGST FOR THEM.This whole conversation between Khun Yai and Jom on the book he’s reading. Gay men reading feminist book portraying women’s struggle… khun yai is an intellectual… feminists love khun yai… i love how his first instinct is to relate to the character, wanting to choose his own love life.OMG OUR GL STORYLINE. MY SAPPHIC GIRLIES. The chemistry is chemistry-ing. They’re so tender and I love the way Eungpung looks at Muey. I can’t believe we got our damn FIRST KISS at the same time Eungpung discovers Muey got beatings. So much hurt and comfort in this one small scene. Must protect Muey at all cost. The score broke me… it’s so sad to see all these women going through so much pain…I think it’s mandatory to have a shirtless Khun Yai and Jom scene every episode. Bright and Nonkul have the body of a Greek god… I love how they handle this Jom scene that was also vaguely similar in the novel… In the novel it was more crude but the way the series handle this scene with so much delicacy, so much sexual energy yet so intense… I choked as the music and Jom hit climax. My god. (In the novel, Jom masturbated after being hugged by Khun Yai on a windy night, but the series has re-envisioned that scene to be so much more elegant and delicate)Ming is the bestest friend. I love him so much, he defended Jom against that annoying Lamyai and immediately came to ask Jom about Khun Yai because he was worried for them. Ming is so ready to punch that annoying bitch Lamyai for exposing YaiJom. The conversation between Ming and Muey was so important because we had Muey convinced him that “love is love”... But I’m so sad that Ming is so heart-broken by Muey. genuinely my fave straight ghostship from this series because i love ming-muey solidarity.I love how Jom and Yai just confronted each other directly to resolve their “conflict”. My green flag gay couple I love you both. Can the episodes be longer I need them to be with each other all the time.The costumes and outfits for the party scene are insanely gorgeous. I am obsessed with the costume design of IFYLITA. Everyone looks so beautiful. I love how Jom comments on Khun Yai is such a child sometimes (because YAI REALLY IS BIG BABY).The lighting…. The color grading… I love how when Khun Yai is dancing with Bussabong, they’re dancing in broad light but Khun Yai only has eyes for Jom, who’s hurt while staring back at him. The angst from looking at the eyes of your secret lover while dancing with someone you’re not into.It’s so beautiful, every frame, every shot of Khun Yai dancing with Jom, who was mad but slowly begun to form a smile on his face. In their imagination, when Yai and Jom are dancing together, the lighting is dark, dim-litted like there’s only them left in the world, implicating Yai and Jom can only be “dancing in the dark”’ in secret, even though in their imagination their family would cheer and be happy for them. The OST for their dance scene was beautiful too.But why are they giving me Nonkul rapper all of a sudden? I’m laughing so hard pleaseeeeeWhoever did the lighting for this kiss under the rain scene, I sincerely hope your pillow is warm every night. That one silent beat before they started kissing passionately underthe rain. I AM OBSESSED. BEST KISS SCENE OF 2023 FOR SURE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN EPIC KISS SCENE IN A LONG TIME AND IFYLITA JUST FUCKING DELIVERS! THE LIGHTING, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE COLOR GRADING, THE SCORING, THE INSANE CHEMISTRY...
