I promised you the earth
This is gonna be short. I rarely watch angst, but I felt the need to try out this one, and it turned out so well. I mean, this show got me screaming at my screen like an insane person every second. it's very grounded in reality that most people change from their high school relationships. We're not the same as we were few years back. Most series just tell us about happy endings, which isn't always like that. I mean, if it's to be reality, most of those couples would later break up. Teh, might have been a jerk for being attracted to his selfish senior Jai, because he only used him for his dream come true. But Teh and Jai's part made us understand what actors go through irl. it's not an easy task at all. Oh, change of interest is something that is common. it's helped a lot of people figure out what they want at the end of the day. The breakup wasn't need, but it made them realize that they couldn't live without each other and they're meant to be. Going through problems in relationships in totally normal, it makes the relationship stronger. IPYTM is a rare find, and I'm super happy I found it and able to learn from it. IPYTM is extremely beautifully laid down!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Life changing experience....
5 years later..... After watching ITSAY almost 2 years before watching IPYTM (finished it literally today ) i have to say that it really deeply resonated with me.EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS DESERVES AN OSCAR IDC !!!!
THE PRODUCTION, STORY, VISUALS, ACTING, OST literally everything was done perfectly...this story will be remembered for years to come.
I still remember when I started watching ITSAY I was so confused...like it wasn't like any other BL and when I later discovered that that's literally how it was meant to be and trying to decipher all the metaphors( that I was literally shocked to know existed) it was all so fun! Mostly sad but also fun.
It was really an emotional rollercoaster..... When I finished ITSAY I didn't know that they'd be a second season and when I found out ..I kept procrastinating and being like "I'll just watch it later" I think part of me knew how heavy it was and was not ready to feel all that.
I really don't know why it took me so long to watch IPYTM BUT I THINK I WATCHED IT AT A SUITABLE TIME. My emotions were at their
Like I cried so much during IPYTM....this series has left so many lingering feelings....emptyness...sadness....hurt but of course hope and happiness.
Since it has depicted relationships in its most true and pure form without sugar coating... it's made me really excited for the future...because I am someone who's PETRIFIED of relationships and the whole thing about "finding my person" has always been a tabo but this series has made me look forward to it....I have learnt no matter how much pain and sorrow you go through..once you find YOUR person you will always go back to them and you will always find a way to work jt out ... I hope I can build a relationship as beautiful as oh-aew's and Teh's
This was literally amazing and it will forever be a standard. Thank you creating this masterpiece.

This drama is packed with reality. In a world where we quickly label people as red or green flags, it clearly portrays that every person has both sides within them. In the end, what truly matters is how willing we are to change and become compatible with our partner.
We make mistakes, we learn, we change, and we grow. Find someone who is willing to stay with you through those changes. This drama portrays that reality beautifully.
The actors played their roles exceptionally well.

Great continuation of the original story. *spoilers*
The relationship of Teh and Oh faced new hardships as they got older and they both dealt with them in their own way.Throughout the series Oh behaved maturely, didn't want to jump into conclusions even after he saw Teh cheat with his own eyes. At the same time he maintained his pure and naive attitude, letting Teh hurt him over and over again. Teh on the other hand, although older, was just as immature and selfish as in the first series. His character was rather unlikable, making all the wrong choices and saying all the wrong things. I do see that he loves Oh, however he keeps messing up and continues hurting him, expecting to get yet another new chance, which to me is just cruel.
As a hopeless romantic and strong believer in destiny I am satisfied with how the series ended, but in real life, if I was one of Oh's friends, I would advise him strongly not to go back to Teh, because he clearly has some emotional issues to work through, and before he does, he's no material for a long term partner.
The acting was brilliant, the cast portrayed the characters and their emotions in a natural way. I also appreciate the visual aspect of the show, the shots and color grading deserve praise in my opinion.
I would definitely recommend it.

TENGO MUCHO QUE DECIR -MEJOR QUE LA 1RA PARTE, SORRY
PARA EMPEZAR: He estado viendo todos los bls de mi lista y este es el más recomendado que tenía (el q más me decian que no viera), pense que luego de la 1ra parte esta iba a ser un desastre pero AMEE, senti que mostraron una relación distinta a las q se ven en las demas series porque es una situación tan real omg....
•1. Teh fue tan criticado aca por dudar de sus sentimientos pero es algo que sucede casi siempre en una relación porque imagina amar a una persona (Oh-aew) y que su relación empiece a cambiar porque las circunstancias son distintas: Van a la U, viven lejos, no tienen el mismo grupo de amigos, estan ocupados e IMAGINATE lo que los "unia" (la actuación) ya "no existe" porque Oh decidio tomar un camino diferente, entiendo tanto a Teh pero no me parecen bien sus accionesss :).
•2. Oh-aew hizo TAAN bien en darse cuenta que esa profesión no era lo que le apasionaba.
En 2da parte empieza el autoconocimiento de Oh porque sin darse cuenta empezó a tomar decisiones en base a Teh en vez de saber sus PROPIAS fortalezas (creo q era marketing), le agarre mucho cariño y adoré que fuera seguro de sus sentimientos hacia Teh (y que le terminara fue una decisión muy madura).
•3. El beso de Teh con el otro chico fue algo que estaba esperando desde que vi al Jai, me gusto mucho como retrataron lo que sentia Teh en ese momento (cuando enfocan los labios de Jai )mostrando la confusión y misterio de como se sentira besar a otra persona, Teh ya conoce a Oh-aew y lo ha besado muchas veces por lo tanto sentia misterio de que pasaria si besaba al Jai (si me enoje un buen cuando vi que Oh estaba viendo todo), mostraron a los personajes super humanos me encantó.
Pd:Super intensa esa escena quede asi 😦 admito q fue uno de los mejores besos sjsksj🥲
•4. Me gusto muchoo como no habian personajes malos ni buenos.
...
La recomiendo? Si
La volvería a ver? Obvio q si ejekwkekek

you want to finish this journey
I can’t rember the last time I was this emotionally invested in a fictional relationship. haforget whatever you’ve spoilers you’ve read about cheating.( I’m not a cheating apologist. I hate cheaters. once a cheater, always a cheater.)that’s not what this is about. this is a realistic portrayal of youth and how they change and grow, and how that change effects relationships; sometimes for the worse, and sometimes for the better.
it would be a disservice to yourself, and to the story that’s being told, not to watch this second act. you would miss these characters becoming who they’re supposed to be. I would argue that without their separation, they never could’ve become those people. and it is only those people, who have changed and grew and become SEPERATELY, who will be able to now sustain a lasting healthy relationship.
(-.5 points because Teh really pissed me off)

Better off without S2
Not going to sugarcoat this. Itsay was better off without season 2. Sure, the development of their relationship from Phuket to Bangkok was interesting, but due to the change in director who seem to not understand the characters, it was a huge impact to how season 2 played out.Plot: My rating for S2's plot is lower than what I gave for S1, mainly because of how Teh was portrayed. The scriptwriters were drunk when writing this season's plot /s. It just wasn't it. I really hate how Teh looked at Jai exactly the way he did when he looked at Oh Aew in S1. Having Teh cheat in the relationship also adds to the stereotype for the gay community and is harmful. The ending where Bas and Q were left bittersweet because Oh Aew and Teh reconciled was not to my liking. They deserved more than being one sided lovers of the main character.
Cast: This season's cast was really good! I really love Oh Aew's new circle of friends, especially Ta (played as Q).
Music: As always, Nadao Music really is superior. I'm so thankful to then for making such great OSTs that conveyed the feelings of the characters.
Rewatch value: Gave the lowest score because it really isn't that good that I would d i e to watch it again.

Non me l'aspettavo così..
Ho iniziato a guardarlo molto titubante un po' per il fatto che non ne avevo sentito parlare e un po' perché le puntate durano più di un'ora l'una.Mi conosolavo dicendo che visto che le puntate sono solo 5, se non mi fosse piuciuto facevo presto a finirlo!
Invece devo dire che trovato la storia molto bella e realistica e non non mi é pesato affatto... anzi in meno di due giorni l'ho finito.
I due attori principali, che tra l'altro io non conoscevo, molto convincenti e perfetti nella parte.
Molto bello e ben sviluppato anche il fattore amicizia.
Tra le altre cose mi ha fatto piacere trovare, nel cast di supporto, attori anche conosciuti.
Il coniglio che posso dare é di guardarlo perchè ne vale la pena.

El BL más hermoso que existe.
¿Qué decir sobre esta maravillosa serie? La continuación de la historia de amor sobre Teh y Oh-aew, es simplemente, hermosa. Una serie plagada de sentimientos, de energía positiva y, de amor. Se nota claramente la madurez y el desarrollo de los personajes y como siempre son realistas. También, las actuaciones de todos son espectaculares, y ni que hablar del soundtrack. Pp y Billkin son dos actores expresivos y ellos, realmente sienten lo que están actuando en la serie. El BL más bello, sincero, realista y puro; que he visto. ¡Que viva la historia de amor entre Teh y Oh-aew!Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 No One Could Replace You
It took me one night after finishing I Told Sunset About You to start part 2, and right off the bat, I got hit with the humor and the beautiful cinematography again. The only thing is that the description made me panic. Rightfully so. I questioned if I should've just stopped after the first part, but then I wouldn't get to see the complete story between these two. I knew I was going to cry because I love this pair so much.Let's be honest, it was almost always his fault. He always had something to feel guilty over. My heart is with Oh-aew forever, and I'm so glad he has his friends. I forgot the reason I don't usually watch realistic love stories until ! started this. I hate to watch the couple love so much fight, as most people do. Still, this film was insanely well made with each portrayal of emotions, every scene, and their growth. Loneliness, guilt, uncertainty, growing apart, longing, and reconnection. It was beautifully made each episode, despite adult hardships there is only one for each other and I do recommend it.

cativante e bem construída
Você tem que no mínimo ser extremamente amargurado ou ter se magoado demais na sua vida para poder não achar essa historia boa. Como todas as series a historia tem seus pontos altos, mornos e baixos, mas a execução foi perfeita. Você consegue se sentir em casa e a atuação é tão boa que você VIVE a serie. Não tinha como acabar mais ou menos, as alternativas de final foram muito bem traçadas. É uma serie que vai te cativar do começo ao fim, essa temporada foi incrível, acho que foi o ponto alto do meu ano, a espera realmente valeu a pena. Essa serie é revigorante, é uma historia muito bem construída, é nítido. A ost é PERFEITA, sem espaço para discussões sobre a ost. É claro que eu vou voltar e assistir outras vezes. A serie é ótima em um todo, realmente estabeleceu um padrão que pode ser seguido. Se você é amargurado (a,e) demais essa serie não é para você. Uma pena já ter terminado, eu adorei passar essas semanas com essa serie, espero ver os atores em mais trabalhos.Was this review helpful to you?
Le coucher de soleil de notre amour.
Je viens de finir de me revoir I Promised You The Moon et je dois bien dire que c'est une magnifique suite à I Told Sunset About You. Le décore change de la jolie vue balnéaire de Pukhet pour l'aspect bien plus cosmopolite qu'est Bangkok. Ça marque aussi le nouveau chapitre de la vie de nos deux héros qui grandissent et vont expérimenter non seulement la vie seuls en ville mais aussi l’entrée à la faculté et la vie de couple, car on le remarque bien, ils n'ont jamais vécu seulement tous les deux, et c'est une manière de vivre qui change beaucoup les rapports dans une vie de couple.Beaucoup de nouvelles expérimentations et beaucoup de chamboulements pour deux jeunes adultes qui ne le sont pas autant qu'ils veulent bien le croire car les petits problèmes, les manquements aux choses sur soi-même et sur l'autre sont ici à même de ressurgir avec plus de force et c'est, bien sûr, ce qui va se passer.
D'un coté on a Teh qui est quelqu'un d'entier et qui ne fait aucune concessions et ne se pose pas de questions. Il a son rêve et personne ne doit pouvoir ne serais-ce que l'égratigner, si quelqu'un se met en travers de ses plans, c'est comme la fin de son monde, tout son univers est construit sur sa vision romancée de son propre futur.
De l'autre, on a Oh-aew qui est plus naturel dans sa manière d'être, mais c'est parce qu'il a la croyance absolue que sa relation avec Teh est sur des bases solides et qu'il n'est pas besoin de revenir dessus. Il opte donc pour aller de l'avant et de faire des découvertes tout en essayant de s'adapter à la solitude de vivre loin de chez lui. Car, il faut le rappeler, Oh-aew est quelqu'un de bien plus fragile en apparence en cela qu'il a besoin d'une base solide sur laquelle s'appuyer pour prendre son élan dans la vie.
Aussi, leurs évolutions à l'un comme à l'autre ne pouvaient mener qu'à des points de frictions qui se sont vites transformées en crevasses. Teh n'ayant plus autant de temps à consacrer à Oh-aew celui-ci s'est trouvé d'autres soutiens en la personne de son nouveau groupe d'amis et il a changé en découvrant qui il était vraiment et ce qu'il voulait dans la vie. Voyant cela, Teh s'est rendu compte que son avenir tout tracé avec Oh-aew à ses côtés commençait à se craqueler et lui en a voulu, c'est pourquoi il lui a fait ces réflexions (tout en l'humiliant au passage en public), pour lui faire mal, pour le punir de ne plus faire partie de son tableau parfait.
Puis, Teh, inconsciemment paniqué à l'idée de perdre son futur idyllique, s'est trouvé un autre soutien en se tournant vers Jai pour qui il croit développer des sentiments car, toujours inconsciemment, il retrouve en ce dernier la même passion qu'il avait cru trouver chez Oh-aew .
Je pense que même si elle a été infiniment douloureuse pour chacun d'eux, leur rupture leur a fait du bien car elle leur a permit de grandir sans s'appuyer sur l'autre et comprendre que pour aimer, il faut d'abord s'aimer et se construire en tant que personne. Car, à la fin, il savent pertinemment qu'ils auront encore de nombreux obstacles à surmonter et autant de difficultés à résoudre, mais, cette fois, leurs bases ne sont plus construites avec le sable des plages de Pukhet mais bien avec le béton des immeubles de Bangkok.
En résumé I Told Sunset About You et I Promised You The Moon sont deux séries incontournables selon moi, elles nous montrent la vie avec une vision très humaine et très réelle et j'airai plaisir à les revoir encore et encore.
Maintenant à vous de vous faire votre avis.
