THIS DRAMA ACTUALLY BEGINS AT EPISODE 6

I don't know if it was just me but, the story of the lead is too slow , and too many scene for the support characters , it was already 5 episodes have past and still nothing is happening to Jom and Khun Yai .. like they all just look at each other as if they want to say something and then done .. However I am looking forward for this drama's mystery like why does Jom keeps of hallucinating about him seeing himself , and everything that he saw on the 1st episodes , the drawings, the house, also when he met his uncle , on the present world, and his uncle was confused if he went on that old house the night before, and it's actually him, I am looking forward why is it all happening to Jom.I am excited about the next episode Im gonna see Kim Goodburn again ! I was shocked , did he just confessed he liked Jom ?! OMG what's gonna happen ?? I guess the story actually begins at episode 6 !

IFYLITA KEEPS HITTING ALL THE RIGHT SPOTS

Hi everyone, it's your weekly IFYLITA enthusiast and I'm back with a few THOUGHTS on Ep 5 at first watchThe piecing of the mystery aspect of IFYLITA is masterfully done. So the principle is that every time Jom draws, a time-space wormhole thing opens up and he’ll somehow be connected briefly with his present timeline. The production team did a really good job crafting this because honestly this was not made clear at all in the novel. I wonder if they consulted with the author in order to get this narrative cleared but essentially the way this is puzzled and structured is just really well thought out.Khun Yai is truly the greenest flag my gad. Khun Yai is MY Mr. Darcy. No actually, in fact Khun Yai is much much better. The way Yai was so afraid that he’d done something inappropriate to Jom while being intoxicated lmao. Jom teasing drunk Khun Yai was equally adorable too. When Jom flirtily recited what Khun Yai said to him last night and then jumped when he remembered his place likeeeeee I love how self-aware Nonkul is playing Jom to be. Like you can really feel like this is a Panic Gay from modern time being transported back in time.I love Ming and his mom’s subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and I’m so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jom’s friend.A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Ming’s situation, Jom says “fun dee na krub” (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies “ra tree sawat” (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. There’s so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because that’s so valid of him.One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that he’s so damn intuitive to Jom’s feelings. Even if there’s just a single movement, it’s like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or there’s something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: “I have something bothering me” - “I’m starting to get used to it”“It’s not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?” - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is “becoming the maker of one’s destiny”. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but he’s not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. It’s such a shame that we can’t really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve “happiness”. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way he’s staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeee… the dude ain’t hiding AT ALL. You know what this reminds me of, it's like when Mr. Darcy saw how easy Elizabeth got along with his little sister Georgiana. There is just something so sweet when one partner sees their family get along with the person they like #family #future-in-laws.I praise it every week but like the visual effects and sound really deserves all the praises. I sincerely hope everyone is watching the UNCUT version on Youku Vip (like me) or UNCUT on Gagaoolala because this show has perfect scoring and the sound REALLY adds to the effect of each scenes, especially dramatic and thrilling ones. The Youtube version is said to often have audio issues I think so I hope everyone is able to enjoy the same high-quality level series I'm watching right now!I'm so excited for next week already ahhhhh. The sulky Khun Yai? The classy Pride & Prejudice like confession? I love noble ML who loves to show affection through action more than words but then their partner is just slow so they need to spell it out in big bold letters. I CANNOT WAIT!

Banyak filler, tapi enjoy banget asli!

Menurutku pribadi, episode kali ini mengandung banyak sekali filler - ya walaupun ga bisa dibilang filler juga sih, lebih tepatnya banyak scene di luar main cast utama - tapi tetap masih punya banyak relasi dengan cerita main cast. Episode kali ini membahas mengenai Jom yang berada di dalam keluarga Kun Yai dengan lebih dalam, dan lebih detail - suasananya, masalahnyaa, dan lika-likunya - dari yang tertampilkan sepertinya Jom memang susah menyesuaikan dengan keadaan zaman saat ini (zaman Kun Yai) ; beberapa scene juga menampilkan hubungan masa lalu dan masa depan - walaupun seperti itu, episode kali ini masih ada dipermukaan - kedepannya masih belum terlalu jelas dan masih banyak sekali hal-hal yang belum tertampilkan, dan beberapanya lagi bahkan masih menjadi misteri. Dari segi warna dan dialog, mudah difahami ya - warnanya juga sangat enak di mata. Saya sangat menyukainya. Banyak hal penting yang menurutku belum dimunculkan, dan preview episode kali ini bahkan membuatku penasaran terutama ketika James mengatakan suka pada Jom dan ini sangat mindblowing banget, sebelumnya di review saya ~ saya pernah mengatakan bahwa James punya perasaan untuk Jom dan ini benar-benar terjadi, saya sangat menantikan momen-momen di mana Kun Yai akan confess pada Jom di episode 6 sesuai dengan preview episode 5 ini.
