Young Teh dreams of becoming a performer in a Chinese drama. Of all his friends, only Oh-aew indulges him, loyally playing characters right alongside Teh with his scavenged costumes. When their teacher extemporaneously casts Oh-aew as the lead in their school's performance of Sword Over the Moon, Teh is initially supportive. However, when Oh-aew admits acting's something he'd like to pursue, Teh feels slighted. It isn't until they're in High School chasing University admittance when they meet again and Teh hasn't forgotten. Despite Teh's obvious academic advantage, he feels envious of his ex-friend and doggedly pits himself against Oh-aew. (source: adrienn @MyDramaList)

There was so much yet so little to unpack

- There were a lot of flashbacks/jumping back and forth

- I did get used to it after a while

- The subtitles were solid. Could understand everything that was happening (watched on ViKi)

- The guy with the beach blonde hair was very distracting

- For the first 45 minutes I did not know who was who or who was doing the voice-over...but I think that me being an idiot

- This is the first time in a long time that I am watching a series with episodes that are an hour long.

- got that god-awkward chemistry. I like it

- when he didn't get in my heart broke....okay no I didn't because I didn't know what name I was looking for, but when he started running I got really sad.

- I will probably finish the series tmrw. I have high hopes


...first time individually reviewing episodes of a series so bare with me rn. Also English is my first language, I am just bad at it.

It was enjoyable, but I think it was a bit boring for an hour long episode. I'm excited to see the romance develop between the two leads.

Dramatic

For episode 1 :
• felt as long as it was.
• really dramatic?•I don’t love Teh right now cause it feels like he made up with Oh because he got what he wanted, he wanted to pass and he wanted Oh to fail and he did so he get pitiful and reconciled because he got why he wanted.
• to much crying
• Oh failing almost bribery me to tears tho ?that hurt ??
• really good acting tho
• both leads seem to like other people (I low-key shipping Oh and his friend but I know it won’t happen ?so whatever)Curious to watch episode 2

Amazing episode

The emotions shown are so amazing and versatile. Everything is perfect from the cinematography to the music. The intensity builds up by introducing different situations. More people needs to see this.

Frienships are difficult

The story starts very strong with powerful emotions. It really made me remember the small arguments that I would have with my best friend to a point that we stop talking until somebody had to intervene. As a child, I was always by myself and really didn’t have anybody on my side; so, when I made a friend, I was always overprotective. This story starts like that. It's a little slow but remember, it's giving you a clear picture of the entire complicated and difficult friendship!The character development is so complicated that I really don’t know what is going on. First, I thought that is going to be a typical BL story, but it’s so well develop that it just made me wonder even more if I was right or not.I won’t spoil anything for you, because, well, you just have to see it!I can tell you this, the 2nd episode gets even better and crazier. You think you know, but you don't know!

I never thought that this series will hooked me up like every scene literally I felt it. The emotions are overflowing even without dialogues there eyes are just telling us what to feel about. Every little detail of the series is just as important because the director is very clever putting something that will blow your mind.

I had no idea how much I needed to see this level of acting in the Thai drama world before I've seen this! One of the best Thai dramas ever!

This episode in itself can be a movie on it's own

Not a second missed watching this one. Everything from the cinematography, the colour, the music, the acting and the emotions portrayed in this episode is perfection. Calling this the next big BL series is an understatement. This is a masterpiece that exceeds even the best romance series available worldwide.10/10. Perfection.

Everything is so perfect and on point that it leaves me speechless. It's beautifully done. It can't be any better. The trailer had me hooked and so did the first episode that I can't stop binge watching it. Highly recommended,it's the best of the best in a sense that it is comparable to the quality production of movies. Thailand BL's are lacking for me (personal opinion) but this definitely outdid all other BL'S out there. It sent me on an emotional roller coaster just work the first episode.It fed my childhood soul which had been buried for so long. Highly recommended.

love it!

i was soooo impressed by the 1st episode as everything was extremely above my expectation. the actors, the plot, the cinematography, they were all so good!!! they not only used cinematic techniques in this series but also created some pretty nice small details. i loved the chosen sceneries, the picture layouts and the color palette since they all reminded me a lot of the old and peaceful atmosphere in a vintage town. the series now seems to be appealing to me and i'm really looking forward to the next episodes!!!

Strong, promising start

What a great episode that was able to capture the emotions they needed to portray. The coloring was gorgeous. When they reconnected and Oh-aew teared up? Then Teh teared up? I'm sorry but that sent me.I got high expectations even though I feel like someone's going to die and ruin me.

Promising, at times hard to follow

Maybe it's because I watched and unofficial translation (that's all I could find) but my main issue with this show so far is that it's a bit difficult for me to follow what's going on and, more often, it's hard to track the passage of time. That said! This is super promising. I find the two main characters to be very intriguing and the story seems about as original as it gets. No issues with the acting so far, and I've enjoyed the scenes with some of the side characters as well. Very excited to see where this goes!

The best BL series of 2020

I can’t express fully how amazing this series is. The first episode made me laugh and cry. The cinematography is amazing, from the scenic beach, down Chinese aesthetics. The acting of everybody, young Teh and Oh Aew are such promising young actors, the supporting cast, friends and family of the main are on par with the incredible acting of Billkin and PP Krit. This was such a long wait but it was indeed worth it.

Uma surpresa maravilhosa

Agora eu finamente entendi pq todo mundo fala tão bem de I told Sunset About You! Eu só assisti o primeiro episodio mas me senti na obrigação de deixar registrado a minha opinião sobre essa obra de arte.Claro que minha opinião pode mudar no futuro já que eu acabei de começar, mas o meu destaque para esse episódios foi a construção das cenas e a sutileza com que cada assunto foi mostrado. Fazia tempo que eu nn via uma direção de roteiro tão boa assim. Ele conseguiu me prender de início ao fim e as emoções foram super bem representadas. Chorei horrores toda vez que eles choravam, já prevejo sofrimento!Em um breve momento eu parei para refletir sobre o motivo da briga e o rumo que as coisas tomaram, pensei que talvez fosse meio "forçado' ou um motivo simples demais para eles começarem a se tratar assim. Mas não passou nem um minuto e eu mudei meu pensamento, tentei me colocar no lugar dos dois protagonistas e acabei percebendo que se fosse eu vivendo essa situação, tudo acabaria acontecendo do mesmo jeito. Consegui me identificar com os sentimentos dos dois e entender a motivação deles.Gostaria de dar mais um destaque para a ost que passou no fundo, eu escutei 10 segundos e já comecei a cantar junto kkkkAnsiosa para ver mais episódios!
