The best series of 2020!

I've been thinking about what to write for this review for a few days and didn't really know where to start...

Although my biggest passion is watching tv series and even had a blog for 4 years writing about shows, I haven't really recommended a series since I stopped blog writing 5 years ago.

I've watched over 1,000 tv series in my life and 60-100 Asian tv series in a wide range of genres every year so I have my own standards of what I think is a good show. I've started watching Thai dramas in 2014 but only started watching BLs in 2019. Since I've started watching BLs, I've watched the majority of popular Thai BLs, many Taiwanese BLs and a few Korean ones. I thought I've seen it all and rarely come across a show that I find impressive and really want to recommend everyone. Finding a good series is like finding gems, it's difficult.

ITSAY has always been on my to-watch list but I honestly didn't have any specific expectations going into it, didn't even watch the trailer and forgot that the show has premiered until days later. Even the first episode didn't get me but I was so blown away by the second episode. I have never looked forward to upcoming episodes so much but feel so anxious about where the story will lead to at the same time. I am so happy that I've watched this show. It's such a good feeling to find a series that exceeded my expectations in every single way possible since shows are more often disappointing than not for me.

Labelling ITSAY as a BL is simply just categorising. It's an extremely well produced romantic and coming of age series. It's a masterpiece that everyone should watch. Every scene is well framed and meaningful, every character interaction has a purpose, the acting and chemistry is phenomenal, the cinematography is absolutely stunning, the directing and script is so detailed and full of heart...I can go on forever but I think it's best for viewers to watch the series and experience the feelings of watching an amazing show first hand. I also strongly recommend viewers to watch the documentary as well. Seeing how much effort and dedication the entire staff and crew team put into this production made me appreciate the series even more.

This is my first time writing a review on MyDramaList (I've always love using this site but created an account just because I want to rate and review this series). I want to do everything I can to promote the show because I think it deserves all the love and recognition and don't want anyone to miss out. If you like watching tv series and appreciate high quality productions like I do, you won't regret watching it!
