To begin with, I'm a big fan of Nadao dramas like In Family We Trust, Project S: The Series, and my all-time favorite series; Hormones. Nadao rarely produce dramas, like, twice to thrice a year but when they do, they just finesse it.

I started ITSAY with mediocre standards, because again I'm not a big fan of BL but I remember waiting for it even before the title was revealed.

The story is not for people who like steamy scenes, unrealistic situations, and fast-paced. Nadao managed to make a series so damn beautiful in just 5 episodes. The story is very inclined to reality, the way it focuses on different types of relationships, the different struggles between bonds, and the questioning of one's sexuality; everything about this drama screams realistic.

To be fair, the cast seems unfamiliar except for the main lead but I was amazed on how well they acted despite not knowing them especially the ones who played Bas and Tarn, the acting is not perfect for me because there were some scenes I was bothered by the executions but nevertheless, it's near perfection.

The OSTs just hit different, even if I can't understand the words, I can feel the emotions it's trying to convey and it's been on repeat in my Spotify's Playlist lol. The fact that Billkin was actually the one who sang Skyline just shows how versatile of an actor he is.


The moment this series came out, I started watching it, I suffered through cliffhangers and week-long questions but I'm not regretting it, this series might be one of the best series I've seen so far. This series was worth it.

Fun-fact: Teh's scenes with his mom were the most tear-jerker for me, their scenes are just so raw I can't stop my eyes from bawling.
