The part one of this series "I Told Sunset About You" was something that left a deep impression on me & was among my top 3 2020 faves. I even rated it a perfect 10. So imagine my excitement for this series & the expectations I had with it. I was looking forward to this series for almost half a year but now I think that it would've been better if itsay ended just like that without any part 2.
I tried not to but I can't help myself from comparing this series with itsay. maybe it was a fairly good series & I'd have enjoyed it more if it wasn't related to itsay. My expectations for this series were so high & it didn't live upto them. It didn't have that magic itsay had.. maybe it's cos of the change in the director or maybe cos of the story & the change in location. This series even made me question my love for itsay . anyways let me explain how it went wrong for me & why I'm so disappointed with it.
episode 1 was okayish imo but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to so I thought it would get better in the coming episodes. but it didn't improve & then the "cheating" happened in episode 3. that shit made me mad , heartbroken & disappointed. I lost all interest in the series & was so pissed at the scripwriters for including that completely unnecessary plot in the love story of ohaew & teh. I wanted to see them happily together after all that angst in itsay. ofc I was prepared for minor conflicts but "cheating" ? couldn't they think of anything else to move the story forward ?
also the storytelling style in this series was a major reason that it didn't click for me. The time jumps completely ruined the development of the story and stopped me from really enjoying and connecting with the story or even with the characters.
After episode 3 I stopped caring about how the series was gonna end. When I thought about the leads as teh & ohaew from itsay I wanted them to somehow end up together but I felt so conflicted. I couldn't get my mind of that cheating incident.
The last episode - it was nice seeing the old gang again & the ending was pretty decent considering the mess they made in the previous episodes. If only they didn't ruin everything with that cheating plot.
I don't wanna loose my love for itsay cos of the disappointed I got from ipytm & to do that I'll do the following things depending on my mood. sometimes I'm gonna pretend that episodes 2-4 didn't happen & teh & ohaew separated for some stupid reasons & then they got back together in the last episode or sometimes I'll just pretend this series never existed or is a completely diff series unrelated to itsay. & the itsay teh & ohaew are happily together in some other universe which don't include any of them cheating.
