I Told Sunset about You

It’s a BITTERsweet series

This series is so good you guys, but if you’re a person who gets pissed off & stressed out so much LIKE ME it will be very exhausting to whatch it… they pissed me tf off, they pissed me off to the point that i was BEGGING them to cut that shit out… even tho i kinda understand why everything happened (i was just so mad when whatched them being like that) but I understand why they didi all of this, and the fact that they’re so young, and all of those feelings were too heavy for them to deal with, they hurted each other & themselves a lot… overall i really liked this series, but i don’t think I’ll rewatch it ever again i don’t wanna throw all of that again, anyways if see my review by any chance you HAVE to watch it.

Absolutely sublime!

I have been addicted to watching BL for a while now. Of course, the transition happened, like most from KDramas. But more on this later. I came to watching this series through sheer accident, a happy and most treasured one for sure. Since I hadn't seen these actors before, can you blame me when the GMMTV world dominates all the BL shows? Anyway, I stumbled across this series through serendipity, and I cannot help but be blown over and transfixed to my screen.

To begin with, the cinematography of this series is a masterclass in framing, blocking, lighting and capturing silhouette. This is just too good. Then, it highlights the story, which captures the emotions in the most ethereal, sublime manner possible. Adding to this much-awed experience was the music. Despite not understanding the language, the music just pulls you in; it is so surreal, so poignant, so deeply moving, one has to listen to know what I mean. Now, to say I am speechless is an understatement. And as if all of the aforementioned wasn't enough, throw in the mix the acting, what a class act performance by the main leads, I mean!

The way this series unfolds episodically, it just unpeels the emotional layer with such depths, one just needs to take it in and then, perhaps, reflect on them, silently. I couldn't help but sob uncontrollably when the actors cried and felt those raw emotions. Furthermore, I have to mention the ingenuity about the title and how the entire series is almost like giving a golden-hour hue its homage. The warm tone is satisfying to say the least, especially in the scenes with minimalist set-design and hardly any dialogues. There is a constant feeling of warmth and as if, the characters are offering a respite even to the viewers, a shade of sort, to escape from life, albeit momentarily.

After I finished watching it, like the habit, I went down a rabbit hole of searching everything about this series and all the variables associated with it. I am just in awe of how beautiful this experience was. Of course, I ended up watching the sequel, and once again, I was transfixed. And I am glad it happened.

A must-watch for just about everything there is and can be conveyed through a brilliant storytelling experience.

High tension level!

This is the series to watch when you want to watch something intense, complex, full of angst and tension.
I watched it all in a row in the middle of the night.
It is worth contemplating and identifying deeply with the characters. I was captivated.

I used to say that for every series you have to be in the right mood. It's important when you watch it.
I watched this at a time when I was looking for just such complexity.

This is not a series about office romance or school romance, but about two souls searching for themselves and each other, just starting to grow up.

A wonderful experience

I've long hesitated to write a review about this one because how does one write a review about something so beautiful as ITSAY?

I've seen many dramas, watched many shows and found many of them amazing and mind-blowing but I Told Sunset About You is something special amongst everything I have ever finished. Everything about it blew me away. It has an amazing cast that can act so good I find it hard to find anything worth my while after finishing ITSAY. The music too.. it just fits so well to the storyline which is only strengthened by the cinematography.. Each episode felt like a piece of art.

Likes:
- Teh's discovery of his feelings towards Oh Aew. It felt so realistic to have him doubt himself and those around him. I'm really happy they chose to show his struggle and hesitance to accept he might feel something romantic for a boy, and his fear for what everyone else might think about him.
- The cinematography. The way they filmed the show made me fall in love with Thailand (especially Phuket) and makes me want to visit it sometime. But there's so much hidden in between the lines and scenes. Like I said.. it felt like a piece of art while watching it.
- The music. Most of the songs are sung by the main leads but the instrumental versions blew me away too. Made me feel the feels that much stronger.
- The acting. This cast deserves all the awards and more. 5 episodes is not nearly enough and I need more. THANK GOD there's a season 2.
- The chemistry between the main leads. It was BOMB.
- Teh's immediate acceptance that Oh Aew was in love with a boy and his willingness to help.
- A supportive female friend.

Dislikes:
- Teh felt immature most of the time. It made me wonder if he had difficulty recognizing emotions in others or knowing how his actions could hurt others.. I did hate him for a long while because he treated his best friend like shit.

I feel like I can watch this how over and over again and never get bored. It's a true gem hiding in plain sight and I feel like every BL fan should watch this one.

A BL series which defines "PERFECTION"

I just want to say one thing—**this BL is DAMN GOOD.**
It hit me with such a powerful wave of emotion that for a while my brain literally stopped responding. I just sat there, staring, trying to process what I had witnessed. This wasn’t just a series—this was **absolute cinema**.

This is the kind of BL that **raises the standard of the entire genre**. It proves that BL can be deep, artistic, and emotionally overwhelming without trying too hard. The acting? **PHENOMENAL.** Honestly, words are not enough to describe how obsessed I am with their performances. Every expression, every silence, every emotional breakdown felt painfully real. The actors didn’t just play their roles—they **became** them.

The story and the acting complemented each other perfectly. Nothing felt forced, exaggerated, or unnecessary. It was raw, immersive, and deeply moving. I was hooked not because of shock value, but because of how genuinely it made me *feel*.

This BL is absolutely **worth watching**—no hesitation, no second thoughts.
Just watch it. Feel it. Let it hit you. And enjoy every second of this masterpiece.

The Gold Standard of BLs

I cannot praise this bl enough. It’s an almost perfect bl. Realistically I would give it a 9.8 out of ten but MDL does not allow for that option. Everything is done to a high standard - the cinematography, the plot, the emotive acting, the soundtrack, the set design - everything.
It beautifully captures the feelings of first love, with the bittersweet heartbreak and raw emotional awakening that comes with it. I completely bought into this teenage romance. It resonated with the universal feelings of angst, uncertainty and overwhelming emotions we experience as teenagers. I would even put this series up against mainstream productions. It’s that good. It really is a cinematic masterpiece. This should be on every bl watcher’s list.

Why should you watch this ?

It's an interesting portrayal of the relationship one has with others but most importantly one's self. I really enjoyed the focus on self discovery. Loving yourself first, looking at your reflection in the mirror and being content with whom you see.

The love and affection that the main characters had for one another was beautiful, seeing them grow individually and together was unforgettable. They were just 2 people figuring out whom they are, what they want in the future and to whom their hearts yearn for, truthfully. Bilkin and PP Krit's acting abilities really gave their characters a voice. As viewers , we got attached to them because of how genuine and relatable they were.

I have watched this more than once and I promise you the moon, you won't regret watching it. If you aren't in a relationship, gurl aren't you about to feel single !
