The Ratings Speak for Itself
This series? It's my favourite BL of all time. Not just 2023, no.
It is perfect, it is flawless. I knew this when I finished the last episode, but purposefully waited for a while before writing this review, just in case my feelings on IFYLITA changed. But, it didn't.
I watched the UNCUT version, which you can find alongside the CUT version on the YYDS Entertainment YouTube channel.
Will it be perfect for everyone? Certainly not! If you don't like historical fantasy with time travel and reincarnation tropes, or if you feel that one-hour episodes are too long, then I'm sure those things may affect your enjoyment levels. But for me, it didn't. And I believed I'd never like historical fantasy before watching!
What's there to say that others haven't said yet? But to prove a point, I will shower this series with the praise it deserves nonetheless.
The main leads' chemistry and acting is *chef's kiss*. I have never cried as many times due to the sheer emotional impact during a series than IFYLITA.
The side characters are all intricately important to the plot, they have their own lives and motivations, make their own choices and deal with their own problems.
The cinematography, scene work and levels of detail in shots are a clear result of focus, love and skill.
The plot is multilayered and deals with realistic issues despite the various fantastical elements (time travel, reincarnation).
There are so many plot twists in the best of ways, mainly in how you'll dislike or hate certain characters you'll grow to like and appreciate later on (except for one character hah).
Jom and Khun Yai do not only have sweet moments, and scenes where they confide in each other and depend on each other emotionally but also have sizzling kisses and standout sexual encounters. There is no angst for the sake of the audience--everything happens for a reason, naturally, and logically. Products of the era Jom has found himself in, or products of the characters and their actions.
P.S. There's also a surprise side couple, that I won't spoil, but I promise you they're lovely.
TLDR; I would sell my soul to watch this series for the first time again.
