I Told Sunset About You (2020)

Tayland BL sektöründeki gelmiş geçmiş en kaliteli dizi

Senaryo o kadar akıllıca ve detaylı olarak yazılmış ki o detaylar sizi daha da dizinin içine çekiyor. Oyunculuk derseniz başka bir boyutta. Bu kadar iyi bir oyunculuk Tayland Bl dramalarda görmedim. Billkin ve PP çok başarılar. Düşünün normalde aktörler göz yaşartıcı kullanmadan ağlayamazken Billkin ve PP senaryoyu yaşadıkları için içten gelerek samimi ağlıyorlar. Bu diziyi izlemeden önce Documentary 1 ve 2 yi izlemenizi öneririm. Sonrasında dizinin 1. bölümünü izleyin. O kadar çok emek var ki insanı diziye bağlıyor resmen. Duygusal dizi izlemem ama bu benim için ilk olarak kalacak. Yönetmen P'Boss bile oyunculuklardan o kadar etkileniyor ki bunu Documentary 3-4-5 de görebilirsiniz. Çok başarılı dizi 11.03 2021 ikinci sezonu bekliyorum

What a masterpiece

It is beyond amazing. What an amazing story with amazing actors. Perfect portrayal of emotions. Such mature acting, real acting which is missing from most of the other BL dramas. Production value is as good as K dramas or may be even better. There is this seen at beach, it felt so real, so pure and I have watched that scene dont know how many times. Without even a single dialogue that scene has delivered more emotions than any other movies or dramas. Everything about this drama is brilliant. I am smitten. Cant wait for rest of the two episodes. Wish they had more episodes.

I don’t understand the hype

Well ngl I kinda liked the series. But I think PP literally carried the whole show. He has this beautiful way of crying and showing his emotions through his eyes. He's just so perfect for ths role and also his visuals are no joke. His presence was the only thing that kept me going.
The story was so so.. It's about two friends who became rivals then again friends and then they fell in love. That's it. They had great chemistry though. The yearning for each other seemed so real. The slow burn.. They kept me longing for that one kiss lol

What I didn’t like was Teh.. He started getting jealous literally two minutes after meeting his friend who wss his rival for many years. Sometimes I didn’t like the portrayal of the character. He was kinda selfish and kept on hurting my baby Oh-aew. But that's on the story lol.
Sometimes Teh gave me major cringes. Specially when he's crying or putting ig stories and doing things that made him look like a superhero while he's the one at fault. Example- he hurt Oh, then he decides to give him the Uni seat. Like give one good reason for Oh to take that seat.
I'm sure Billkin is very very talented and everything but he should seriously work on his crying scenes. Idk why I found those funny.
Now the most important part.. What's with those aggressive smelling Teh. He smells Oh's hair, coconut, paper and also Oh's neck and whole body lol.
It looks like he's taking drugs or something. Kinda psycho move if you ask me lol. When they had that romantic moment at Teh's house where he practically smelled the fuck outta Oh.. That was ummm weird?

Also imo they did bad to Bas. He was a really sweet person. I hope he finds someone in the next season which I'll watch soon lol

I loved it so much!

I started this series because I was bored and the least I can say: I wasn't disappointed ! It clearly took place in my top 2 (still can't decide if it's 1st or 2nd).

The filming was beautiful, all scenes had beautiful lighting and construction and I have to emphasize the fact that I loved the background music as I usually don't notice it.

The story is beautiful, every tiny detail is brought and makes sense so that we understand the evolution of their feelings for each other without the need to express it by words. Talking about their relation, it is one of the best constructed I saw: a natural evolution with the slow discovery of their feelings for each other and then a seduction game from both side. Their chemistry was incredible too. All of this has been carried by two amazing actors. The both conveyed emotions so well! I could truly feel the inner hesitations, trouble, quest for self acceptance, desires and pain of the characters...I believed as much in the electric tension as in the fluffy romanticism.

This is a very intimate story so the side characters aren't developed that much but I don't consider it as a problem since it reinforce the feeling of them living something special, secret, that only belongs to them, as if they was in their bubble away, from the world. It brings a true charme, an atmosphere that I really felt beautiful. The story really go in that sense of a romantic and intimate love story but also self discovery and acceptance that's why I could really believe in it: this seems realistic. In general, the problems they face aren't superficial and we understand why they struggle since a lot of teenagers have those.

Also, what is interesting is that the characters have different point of view on some things but as they are so well depicted and developed, we can sympathize on both sides. I talked before about the side characters, I must say albeit they were not a central part of the story, they were still really lovable and touching, I especially liked the love interests as they were both sweet creams. It is really refreshing to not see the cliché of the annoying girl.

You will not regret it I swear so if you haven't seen it and hesitate, just go.

The Best BL Show Ever to Exist.

This show has amazing acting, amazing cinematography (which you don't see often in BL series), an amazing OST...amazing everything. This show is horribly under-rated and I hope it gets more praise in the future when season two comes out. The plot is so...realistic. There are times where you are mad at Teh for how childish he's acting, but that's exactly what he is, a child. He has a narrow view of the world and there are multiple times where his rigid personality affects not only himself but the ones he loves. He's such a flawed character, but he's written so well that the audience understands his rash and rather dumb decisions. It's really satisfying seeing his character development throughout the show, and it's also satisfying that not everything goes his way. It's just like real life, and I love it so much. Oh is a very mature person for his age, and I like the contrasting personalities between him and Teh. It is nice to see a character like this: Oh knows exactly what he wants and he isn't afraid to say what he wants. Juxtapose this with Teh, who is very indecisive and impulsive. Ugh. UGH IT'S SO GOOD. Usually when watching BL dramas, you're supposed to have this expectation that the plot and personalities are not realistic. But this show...I know I keep saying realistic, but it's just that. It's realistic, satisfying, beautiful...everything. I love this show so. damn. much. Props to the director, because he guided the actors so well. This is a phenomenal piece of work. I 100% recommend this show. It's so underrated and deserves all the praise in the world.

Masterpiece

Everything about this series is a masterpiece!

Talking about Story plot (coming of age, BL, gender identity, etc) , very common to any BL series i have watched. However, with this serie it felt like i have watched a different genre. Everything is on point! The actors portrayed their characters very well. I mean every character, the supportive brother hoon, tarn the girlfriend, supportive/proud mother, and their group friends. I fell in love with the two main characters, BKPP made teh and oh-aew a real characters. (Especially Billkin, his crying scenes are heartbreaking!)

I dont post reviews (it’s actually my first ever review in this site) but this one deserves an excellent review. Thank you to all the makers of this series. I cant wait for may 27th to come. I promise to the moon that i will watch part 2.

I Told Sunset about You

It was on my list of dramas to watch for a long time, and my friend kept recommending me to watch it. It was a bummer that I couldn't find it on youtube, because that's how I usually stream my Thai BL dramas. Alas, I found it on dailymotion

I really enjoyed this drama because I loved the tension of self-discovery. Being gay myself, high school is definitely one of those times where you fall in love but have so many fears about your future. Everything feels up in the air. This drama expertly executes those same feelings that I had growing up. I also fell in love with my best friend from middle school, unlike the drama though, he is straight and so nothing ever progressed from that besides unrequited love. The drama clearly shows us how Teh, is clearly in love with his best friend, Oh-aew, yet he doesn't know what these feelings are. We, the audience however, can clearly see that he loves his friend more than just friends by the way he gets jealous of Oh-aew spending time with Bas, or when Oh-aew tells everyone personal things about himself. Teh wants to be Oh-aew's one person. Yet, he struggles with finding out why he wants that. Even when he realizes it, he can't bring himself to accept it. He worries what everyone will think of him. He tries to show his love for Oh-aew in many different ways, but often hurts him instead.

I know season 2 is coming out soon, and I can't wait to watch it. It seems like this drama will definitely take things to the next level, so I'm excited.

This is much more that a BL genre

I believe I Told Sunset About You is more than just a BL series. It is more than a LGBTQ agenda but at the same time told in the most positive way. It's about being confused, conflicted, understanding, and finally accepting an identity and 'coming out' at the time one accepts and in his/her own way. It depicted individuals are they are - very realistic. This series enlightens us that about the emotional turmoil one goes through dealing with the realization; someone who feels they can hurt and hurt others they love for being who they are.
It is a very beautiful story and exquisitely directed.
I learned to be satisfied with Thai BL series thinking what I normally watch is the norm. This series taught me that with exceptional screenwriter and Director, a Thai BL drama can be so much more.

I find that there’s a lot of scenes that were a bit slow to start or with extended silence, however the overall series made up for this small detail.

It is my opinion that everyone give this series a chance and experience Thai BL series in a different way.

An introduction to quality Thai BL

Before this, the Thai BLs that i had come across always felt like some cheap production aimed at making a fanfic into live action. I did not expect this level of attention to detail, production value, cinematography, decent acting, musicality, careful choice of location, colouring, script from a Thai production so i'm impressed.

The main characters are flawed and their discovery of themselves and their attraction to each other is raw, frustrating, beautiful, imperfect and captures youth and coming of age. There's a lot of hate directed at Teh but honestly he's one of my favourite characters. He's all over the place with his emotions, unable to hold back at times and incapable of showing them at other times, a complete train wreck. He's unsure about himself, hurts people around him in an attempt to make sense of what he's going through, is rough around the edges, makes mistakes he regrets immensely, disappoints his friends and loved ones, is unreasonable and uncompromising, but at the end of it all, he pursues his love as doggedly (and recklessly) as he pursues his dreams. And that's youth.

Oh-aew was a perfect foil to Teh's character, steadfast, understanding and patient. The actor playing this character was wonderful in being subtly seductive and making his character intriguing (the eye lashes helped loads). My only gripe was the lack of attention to some of the supporting characters, in particular, their school mates. The character design was too predictable.

Hats off the the production team as this was a well-made series and made me feel respected and valued as a BL viewer. BL fans want to watch quality production too and it's not just about putting two good-looking guys (sometimes even several) on screen and getting them to flirt with each other over bad dialogue, on a set with fake furniture, and no storyline to speak of. This series raised the bar of Thai BLs for me.

Currently the best show I've ever watched

Hormones series (S1-S3) are the very first Nadao series I've watched and I like it so much because it fits my standard more than G*MMTV's shows i've watched before. After that I challenged myself to watch all Nadao shows and that's how I found this series. I actually watched the trailer before it aired but didn't really pay attention to it so I missed watching eps 1-3 in realtime. But, a day after eps 3 aired I suddenly have the urge to start watching it so yeah that's how I came to the Thai fandom :') I can't even explain in detail how amazing ITSAY is bcs it really impacted me that much. After watching ITSAY, I watched so many new shows (almost 20 new series + movies), but not even one lingers in my mind like ITSAY did...That's how powerful ITSAY is. Should watch this yourself bcs sometimes I'm really sorry for the ones who might missed this series.

Probably one of the most raw and honest depictions of love and growth in all it's intensity.

i don't really rate shows that high that easy. if a story doesn't have a good grip on me by the first episode itself i drop it. however, that was not the case about this show. it had me by the throat from the get to.

the thing about i told sunset about you is. its so dreamlike. every frame is a painting, every scene is saturated, every character is color-coded-- until the lines start to blur and the colors start to swirl and that is significant too. its so dreamlike in the way its tinted in a way that makes you feel nostalgic, like unreal. like surreal.

The way the love is Felt the entire time, it punctuates every scene. Even in its misunderstandings, even in the pettiness and the anger and everything that gets lost in translation, things that you hold on to so tightly that it bleeds into your hands your heart; and roosts in your soul. That is the kind of mark ITSAY leaves on you. This show is timeless. I feel like i could come back to it any time and day and slip back into feeling everything i felt when i watched it the first time. It simply does not get old.

and the beauty of it lies in that its dreamlike state its further amplified by the rawness of emotions, of loaded silences and awkward pauses and hands that hesitate and knees that knock. in emotions that are entirely too full, too saturated and so very real in all its intensity that punctuates every moment of each scene. and the soundtrack with mood specific iterations to fit the scenes such that it's such a heady swirl of colours and emotions and love that it feels like drowning.

and you love every second of it.
