A masterpiece needed to be watched by everyone

As title stated, regardless if you like BL or not, this is a must see drama.
Not only it is well made, cinographically, but the cast's acting, music and everything is utterly top notch.

At first, on first episode I was a bit skeptical, it is not quite the regular Thai-drama nor regular BL-drama for that matter. It is, despite portraiting young people in their late High school year, a very mature production with a delicate and poetic way to showcase sensitive topic as self-love, identity crisis and personal growth.

I told Sunset about you gives you a strong rollercoaster trip of emotions from happiness, friendship, love, desire, lust, despair, sadness, anger and probrably much more.

The director's meticulous style, shines through as there is little to ask for in matter of details and poetism.
From music, to angles, to scenery and location, not to mention acting details demanded by the actors.
To our utterly delight Billkin, Krit and Smile really delivers.

In my humble opinion, it is easy to portrait desire as such but actual youth lust (without it becoming pornographic) is really hard, which Billkin and Krit slayed. It sucked me in so deep I barely blinked.
I honestly felt traumatized even (ep3).

You cannot deny this being not just 2020 top, if not the best series, but I'd even go that far that say it was one of the best drama Ive watched past decade.


However, it does not recieve a 10/10 for 2 reasons:
1. The last 2 episodes felt rushed. I mean, I feel great respect (especially if you watch the documentary) how well they did producing the series, but it doesnt excuse poor execution. Acting was good all the way, but production relaxed abit in ep4 and in ep5 even more.
2. The last episode and the ending was frustrating.
Some may think it was a happy ending and all but, considering how real, honest, on point and even realistic up to ep3, ep5 just went..whaaat?
It the scenography wasnt so beautiful, if the acting wasnt so breathtaking, I believe a lot of people would not think highly of the series as must of us did.

So in short, the ending felt short in the scriptstory. From realistic to wimsy nonsense even.
The promise of a season 2 is joyous but I guess we will actually wait and see if they will succed to match season 1.


Lastly, an important not that also makes this a wonderful drama to watch: THEY DID NOT WRECKED the female character!!!! This alone almost deserves an Oscar!
They had a HEALTHY YOUNG WOMAN that wasnt a wacko, dramaqueen or evil bitch. She was just an awesome adolecent! Hooray!
