Jae
This review may contain spoilers
It's about growth, ambition, and the challenges of shifting priorities in a relationship.
I gotta say, I’m really digging this season way more than the last one. A lot of people are hating on "IPYTM" because of the whole Teh cheating thing, but honestly, this season feels way more real. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, you know? Now, I’m not here to defend Teh, but I think it’s important to point out that he’s not some player who’s just messing around for kicks. What he did was pretty messed up—he betrayed Oh-Aew’s trust and feelings. He wasn’t honest with him, and by the end, he knew he screwed up.
Jai using Method Acting for his project was kind of genius, though. He knew Teh admired him, and he realized that Teh’s feelings for Oh-Aew were holding him back from really nailing his performance. So, during rehearsals, Teh had to push Oh-Aew out of his mind to get into character. He got so into Jai’s Method that he started drifting away from his relationship with Oh-Aew. And in the end, the part of him that fell for Jai took over, all because of his career. By choosing his career over his relationship, especially as a freshman, Teh made it clear where his priorities were.
So, does Teh still love Oh-Aew? Absolutely. Oh-Aew was his first love, and those feelings don’t just disappear. But when Oh-Aew tried to get him back, Teh was already too lost in his own head.
They drifted so far apart that their love went from being a perfect storm to just a calm sea.
Teh really feels like Jai is the reason he’s become a good actor. Even when he got scouted, the first person he wanted to tell was Jai. His career is everything to him. It’s not about whether he loves Oh-Aew or not; it’s about the fact that he’s been dreaming of being an actor since he was a kid. But in chasing that dream, he totally forgets that Oh-Aew, his boyfriend and best friend, has been his biggest supporter all along.
One of the best moments for me is when Oh-Aew decides to switch to the Advertising department. That decision wasn’t easy for him at all. He didn’t want to choose between his own happiness and his relationship, but he knew he had to.
I’m especially into Oh-Aew’s personal growth. The way he learns about love is so real and mature. Instead of clinging to the idea of “forever,” he starts to understand that love is something that changes over time. He realizes how important it is to be true to himself and his feelings, rather than making promises that might not hold up as life and relationships evolve.
