Most Impressive BL Drama/Series in 2020 (and maybe of all time)

Watching ITSAY was a great way to end 2020. The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was so beautiful, and the story was very rich in emotions. This was my first time seeing Billkin and PP onscreen, and I was so impressed by their chemistry, especially the way they look into each other's eyes. Some of the best moments were the parts where not a word was spoken, when the two of them were lost in their own world and their souls connected. Just magic.

I also enjoyed how ITSAY focuses on the Sino-Thai culture in Thailand, particularly the Hokkien community in Phuket. This series includes things like the Hokkien-style temple, Chinese language, and Hokkien food to showcase the cultural heritage of some of the families in Thailand. I also like the fact that they included the Southern Thai dialect in some of the dialogue since they are in Phuket. Love that they paid attention to the local culture.

Without giving too much away, I just want to say ITSAY is truly a masterpiece in the LGBTQ+ category. Instead of having cute BL scenes, this drama focuses on the happiness, confusion, and sacrifices one might go through in a coming of age story. I hope ITSAY can reach a wider audience because this show needs to be talked about!
