I’m honestly surprised that Thailand could produce such a quality show. after watching few episodes of tharntype I thought they were stucked in the mid-2000 when consent, forcing partners and so on weren’t considered a big issue in a relationship.
I told sunset about you however went beyond my expectations not only in terms of production which is quite high compared to the two thai drama i’ve watched but in terms of attention to the LGBTQ+ community and realism. It’s a show i would recommend to watch during the pride month at festivals and i honestly think it should be on Netflix to showto westerners productions how to portray a believable coming out of a teenager.
As a person who struggled with coming out myself I could relate to Teh and his fears i felt like i was watching my younger self, i could see my own mistakes portrayed on the screen. The screenwriters did really a good job writing Teh. He’s an annoying character but believable and strongly real.
Ohaew on the other hand was disappointing. Not in terms of PPs acting but the character itself. He’s much more aware of his identity and still behave like sh*t towards Bas. You don’t deserve that little cutie pie.
As an art student I also enjoyed every single shot of this show, the colors, the framing… it’s absolute perfection and by far one of the most pleasant asian series i’ve watched.
I’m glad Thailand is capable of showing how to proper portray LGBTQ+ struggles in a believable and delicate way.
