No one’s doing it like these guys. The acting is phenomenal, the directing is insane, the soundtrack is gorgeous, and the new friends are so great, there’s no time to miss the high school friends.

I’m reading a lot of reviews saying not to compare ITSAY and IPYTM, that they were going for something different; personally I disagree. I absolutely felt that IPYTM was following in ITSAY’s footsteps. It was very much giving me the same vibes. It’s perhaps somewhat darker but they’re growing up so I was prepared for that.

The way these characters are written is honestly brilliant. Even in the most frustrating moments, when things start happening that you wish weren’t happening, looking back at their past, it makes sense. It’s not drama just for the sake of drama. I genuinely think people dropping IPYTM aren’t trying to understand these characters and that’s a shame.

I was so happy to first find a very sweet and adorable Teh being affectionate and being just generally so happy. It was lovely. As for Oh-aew, he's still a beautiful angel. Then, I thought I was prepared to get hurt considering how painful ITSAY already was, but I didn’t expect to literally feel my heart breaking inside my chest. Thankfully, that gorgeous ending mended my heart back into one piece.

(Warning for vague spoilers) Obviously there are things I wish were different: I wish we got to enjoy the end a bit more, but I felt that way about ITSAY as well so at least it’s consistent; I wish the final time jump wasn’t so long, and I wish Teh’s friendships had a more satisfying conclusion. Yet at the end of the day, I wouldn’t change a thing; it’s beautiful the way it is.
