MASTERPIECE

genuinely, it conveyed to me what it is to fall in love, to truly and accidentally fall in love for the first time in adolescence, with all the pressure, exaggerated and uncontrollable emotions. it's all so well articulated and developed in the most human and beautiful way possible.

i deeply sympathize with each character, especially teh. i totally understand any criticism towards him for the behavior he had towards oh-aew, but at the same time, i truly believe that no one can blame him for the reaction he had.

when oh-aew confesses his feelings to teh and he realizes that he is in love and that everything he thought he was, is now a huge question mark, then he enters into emotional resistance, repression, and rejection of his feelings.

the great conflict is that they can't separate from each other, they can't stop thinking about each other, even when suddenly all communication is cut off and they completely ignore each other. and honestly, i love how this part is so realistic and raw.

when bas confesses his feelings to oh-aew, which, in my opinion, is one of the most painful scenes to watch, the overwhelming feeling of having lost the person you love and how lost you are without them.

throughout, we can see how teh lives to meet his mother's expectations. when he talks to hoon, teh tells him how scared he was about what his mother would think of him. oh-aew is always open about how he feels, showing that this undoubtedly comes from how he was raised.

the final scene is one of the most beautiful and touching things i have ever seen, and i love how every detail was placed. the fear of judgment is still a sensitive subject for teh, but it no longer stops him from loving who he wants to love and living how he wants to live, now both of them have the maturity and emotional stability to support each other in a relationship.

i can say that "i told sunset about you" has had a profound impact on me. i don't think i'll ever get tired of talking about any aspect of this show, and it will never be enough <3
