Definitely a "bodice ripper"
LITA is popular for a reason. The chemistry is great, the overall idea pretty good, and the NC scenes are well executed (not that realistic though).MILD SPOILERS BELOW ***
However, I was not surprised when I learnt MAME wrote this because it has everything a teen girl could want in a BL; and not in the best way. The whole bathroom scene with Payu and Rain made me cringe, not to mention it was nonconsensual. There were a lot of other scenes like that making the writing seem pretty juvenile.
I did like the dynamic between Pai and Sky. But Sky's trauma is basically portrayed as a way to progress their relationship, and after he tells Pai about it, the whole situation is glossed over and not revisited.
But, it was a decently light watch and I can definitely appreciate that, and the chemistry between all leads was great. I loved the affection they gave to each other and there are a lot of fluffy scenes. I especially have a soft spot for Sky and P'Pai. Some if the scenes were funny and I liked the friendship between Sky and Rain. I rewatch LITA when I have nothing else to watch, and it's a great way to turn off my brain for a while.

This isn't a BL, it surpasses that
ITSAY broke stereotypes and my heart, and I loved every second of it. The acting, plot, and characters were complex and beautiful. The way the characters struggled was so relatable and well executed it hurt. Not to mention the chemistry between the 2 leads, it was raw in a way few other BLs have portrayed.I loved the overall ambiance of ITSAY, and wished there was another like it. (Haven't seen IPYTM, too scared it'll make me cry like ITSAY did)
