I'd use Naruto's shadow clone technique and do a standing ovation
I am not the type of person why cries over movies but dang I can't put to words how much this series has moved/affected me in many different ways. It was as if every dormant emotional hormones (serotonin, endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, etc. ) I have were awakened. It penetrates deep into my hypothalamus and amygdala š§ down to my heart ā¤ļøš I love how the actors had brought me to empathize with their characters as if I was involved in every scene - everything was raw... and profound and...sensational and all other praises you could possibly think of. A big kudos to the director, screenwriters, and every crew members who turned this series into a masterpiece. It will take me forever to move on from this marvelous work of art. No exaggeration, this how I really feel.Was this review helpful to you?

Rollercoaster
This is a huge rollercoaster that I won't mind riding innumerable time..Lets Talk about the chemistry: I didn't actually understand the concept till i watched this. This going to be my "reference" chemistry marker.
Lets talk acting: Bloody pros.. No ounce of hesitation, just pure beauty, every scene, every expression, every teardrop, perfection. Even the side leads and Teh's fam did a very good job .
Story: This is the kind of story, if you decided to skip it for some reason, you would be on the loosing side.
Altho I would have liked if the ending could have been a bit stronger.. it's like the writers loosed the end in last 10mins.
But maybe it's just the calm before the onset of storm which will be part 2
Can't wait.

We told sunset about us
"I told Sunset about you" is one of best Thai Bl I have ever seen in this life. I cried, I blushed and felt every single emotions one human can feel. This drama is a masterpiece. MUST WATCH! A coming of age story of two high school boys learning their deep relationship through messed up feelings. The Cinematography and set design is everything. the whole cast slayed with their acting. Bloody good! It was a stream of emotions, swinging over the horizon. Every single episode is a work of art! The dialogues and screenplay is so good, I have no words. This drama is to be cherish till the end of the world.Was this review helpful to you?
A masterpiece worth the watch
Hello Iām writing my first review because this show deserves one. Itās really worth watching ! If you're hesitating, don't be scared this drama has one of the best drama plot and acting.I can say that, compared to other thai dramas, the acting was the best I've ever seen. We can feel all the characters' emotions through their eyes and the chemistry between the main characters is higher than what Iāve witnessed to this day (this beat Tharntype that was, to me, the drama with the best chemistry between the male leads). Teh gave me such goosebumps and, oh my god, Oh-Aew was just as good !
Itās a story I related to, as I also donāt talk to my bestfriend anymore so it made me cry a lot and boy, you will cry at each episode either because of how youāre immersed in the drama or because you will get just as sad as the characters.
The cinematography can put you in a daze and the songs literally emphasize the beauty of the drama. It kinda gave me the same feelings i felt while watching Ā«Ā Call me by your nameĀ Ā» but since it's much more longer (and better but itās just my opinion since i liked itsay more haha), it felt like heaven to me lol. Itās not an overrated drama, itās just one of the best bl ever made and YOU HAVE to watch it !
/!\SPOIL TO KNOW IF ITāS A HAPPY ENDING OR NOT /!\
Donāt worry, itās definitely a happy ending.
/!\SPOIL /!\
I absolutely loved Bas character, he was the sweetest and I still want to cry when I think of him and Oh-Aew hugging. I would've loved a kiss to end the drama but Iām absolutely not disappointed ! I look forward to season 2 that Iāll watch at all cost hehe.

A Masterpiece
Too often, Thai dramas fall into tropes and predictable storylines. BL in particular can sometimes serve up flat stories that lack depth and drive. The charactersā actions can also seem legally dubious and morally questionable, which lessens my respect and support for them. This is not the case with I Told Sunset About You. It felt modern, refreshing, informed, emotionally mature, and rich. It is a masterpiece, probably the best drama to come out of Thailand.Much has been said about how the production did not seem to cut corners, but in my opinion, the best choice the director made was the simple rule of āshow, donāt tell.ā So much of the action takes place beneath the surface. Emotions and motivations of the two leads are obvious, but not openly discussed: Teh always wanting to smell coconuts, down to smelling coconut-scented ink and literally sticking his head in one; the characters increasingly finding excuses to touch each other (though not necessarily in a sexual way); the jealousy they both try to keep hidden; the conversations they have about their other love pursuits where the body language clearly states, āIām really into you, but donāt think I have a chance.ā The unwillingness, particularly on Tehās part, to deal with the reality of their emotions yields results that spill over from their relationship with each other into foolish and consequential decisions that negatively affect other people, but again, the cause-and-effect is shown, not explained. Itās not easy to bring out or deliver these performances, which makes the entire production all the more remarkable.
The other thing I adored about this series was its maturity. The relationships, while ridden with mistakes from characters, were healthy. While there was jealousy, there was never a lack of consent or an attempt to control the other person. There was a heart-wrenching conversation between Teh and his brother, when everything finally spilled out, that was realistic but heartwarming, and reflected what many in the queer community need to be ready for when they acknowledge who they are. In other BLs, the female characters end up being treated with scorn, as one-dimensional obstacles and nuisances. I really appreciated how Tarn was given motivations besides being love-struck, and at one point basically says that she is too busy trying to get into college to deal with being jerked around. She was dealt with as a full character who also must cope with the consequences of Tehās actions; the show gave her dignity, which is incredibly rare in this type of drama.
The only small flaw I could find in the show was that the music timing seemed a bit overly dramatic in a few instances, but this is common in many Asian dramas and doesnāt really take away from the overall show.
This piece was extraordinary and a treasure; I hope other directors and writers take note of its success and why. An absolute standing ovation from me!

Great story line, twist moment and pure young love story
Another great series directed and act by young generation. I surprise that this series are so great and I'm sure it will give positive feedback from all around the world.Great story line, great acting, great OST, great location, coming from great director. Thumbs up for all whom working on this series.
I'm sure lots of us will watch this series more than one time, the aspect that the director targeting to move viewers heart are great in many scenes of a few emotions of angry, sad, jealousy, confusion and happiness.

simple but not regular
where do I even start from?for starters this is not your quintessential (thai) bl. this is really much more than those. the characters have depth, may it be the main characters or the side characters, the storyline has a flow and all the ups and downs it needs, it's like a journey that you feel like you're a part of. it's about friendship turning to love and the process of finding yourself is painful but so beautiful. that's the beauty of this shows, it really digs into two perspectives, one who already knows themself and the other finding themself.
and oh the cinematography, it is to die for, it's so beautiful, phuket is really beautiful.
there's literally nothing in the show that I can say wasn't good.
I'm not a big fan of thai osts but that didn't affect my liking also the original scores that are background music are so beautiful (they even released them on yt, listen after you're done with the show).
I've seen quite a few shows/movies like this one (beautiful, serene) but this just tops not just the bl list but overall romantic list.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
This was truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I will never be the same after watching this and no i am not over-exaggerating it rly is a masterpiece. To be able to make the viewer feel SO MUCH with a plot that lacks in the typical tools used to make people FEEL things (such as death and major tragedy) truly makes this so wonderfully unique and poignant. Honestly I couldn't even watch episodes unless I was in the right state of mind bc of the emotional pull every episode had. 10/10 and not just bkpp but everyone's (special shout outs to the actors for tan and hoon) acting was so thoughtful and believable. I'm honestly curious what they'll do with a 2nd season but I'm sure it'll be another emotional rollercoaster that I WILL be signing up forWas this review helpful to you?
100% RECOMMENDED.
this is a high-quality series, it made me stan the entire nadao bangkok. the characters were well-representedby the casts, the emotions are always there, the concept was very detailed, the effort the crew poured in, the directing, the scenes, and the cinematography, it was all very meticulous. i have been rewatching this since i finished it and until now i still feel the emotions. empathy is the key to appreciate this drama better; you can watch and feel anger, confusion, love, and other things but if you try to understand the characters better, it becomes a new world for you. my favorite bl series so far.Was this review helpful to you?
