Edit: after reading all the comments, I've decided to just rewatch the movie and thats it! Id rather be heart…
Haven't watched IPTYM yet but I see a lot of comments being disappointed and I really don't like cheating tropes and reuniting later. So I am hesitant to watch it.
Your review expressed my sentiments exactly. ! I thought I was the only one questioning about the lambo and the glaring plot holes! They are trying to make an intricate who-done-it but ended up convoluting the story. Even the climax wasn't a climax. I also FFwd Scenes with Xin Tang as I think she was just in the drama to shed as many clothes as possible.
I'm struggling to finish this drama but will keep watching since I've made it this far though skipping through half of it. I'm not a fan of over-the-top campy shows, and didn't realize this would be one. Oh well.

Exactly!! I still have to find a BL sequel that justifies their existence! I've had to drop most, if not all, second installments of a drama/movie because they could not live up to the original work and this is no different.
I hope the initial panic and hysteria from some fans about what's going on with Teh and Oh-Aew's relationship…
Exactly, and a realistic ending does not always mean "happy ending" and "happy endings" do not necessarily mean "happily forever after." People only see "Happy endings" when a chapter of a person's life, "ends" happily, but we really do not know a couple's ultimate ending until they grow old and die. Snow White may end up having gastric cancer from eating all those apple pies; Cinderella may end up having swollen feet and painful calluses from wearing those goddamn glass slippers all day; etc. etc. Having said that though, I still do not get why they need to go down the cheating path; because relationships hardly ever fully recover once you lose someone's trust. Hence, I dropped TWM:NC despite my love for MaxTul because I couldn't justify adultery as a test of strength of a relationship. Sometimes, a better "ending" would be the realization that your best friend may not necessarily be your best lover and vice versa. TBH, I'd rather have a resolution that fits the narrative than a forced conclusion just to satisfy the audience's appetite.
I have watched half of the drama and so far so good. KMY's POV on fairy tales sure can be controversial but they ain't wrong either. They could be interpreted in so many ways and we can't say which POV i right or wrong because they are all valid.
About 3 episodes in, I think I've already guessed what happened to KMY's parents and Gang Tae's mom. But that's why nobody wants to watch dramas or movies with me as most of the time I've already predicted what will happen to the characters by just watching a few episodes and reading a few chapters of a story but that doesn't mean I won't watch this.
What bugs me though are those scenes where a young Gang Tae is together with an adult KMY or vice versa. Creeps me out more than those eerie scenes with KMY and her mother. They should just either stick to adult versions in the same frame or their child versions.
Great cast. Poor script. The Chinese version, “In Time with You,” is much better.
I loved the original Taiwan 2011 and Japanese 2019 version. Did not watch the Chinese 2018 version as it was too long for me, especially to watch 4 versions of the same story.
