I Told Sunset about You
My favorite quote is actually a line from "Skyline". It comes from the unbearably romantic scene near the end of Ep. 3, where Teh and Oh are sitting together at Cape Promthep, just talking. (What a scene! The light from the sunset! The soundscapes!!) Teh says "listening to you earlier reminded me of this two-part verse" (in Chinese). And he translates just the first part. Oh wants to know "What's the second part?" and Teh pauses; he knows the significance of what he will say next. Then he says it, The subtitles render the translation as: "You're the one I've been looking for, for a long time now." But what the Thai words say is really "You are the true love that I have been longing for." Oh looks wide-eyed, and all he can say is "Mmmmm."

Oh is it? yea there is a deep feeling difference between looking and longing. Indeed !It was a gorgeous scene.
Well, in fairness the word is most commonly translated as "seeking" or "looking for." The "longing for" is a more literary translation. But the key difference, IMHO, was the subtitlist's substitution of "true love" by "the one" which just doesn't convey the whole meaning that Teh and Oh expressed/received.
Anyway, what made that my favorite was the deep meaning as sung, and as heard by the characters.

I don't know which one is more appropriate but "longing" brings out Teh's personality more vividly; always longing for Oh, his futile attempt to suppress the feeling leading to his passive-aggressive behavior, but still unable to take that one step.
