There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
I finished I Promised You the Moon and during the last episode this Selena Gomez song continuously ran through my mind.
In watching I noticed some traits about Teh that were evident in season 1 but I chalked up to him coming to terms with his sexuality and feelings. However in season 2 they stared me in the face. From season one Teh got angry when change came or when Oh-aew was somehow above him. For example when Oh-aew wanted to become an actor Teh could not manage that because he felt that was his right alone to have. Fast forward to season 2 when Oh-aew wanted to branch out and truly discover who is really his out from under the influence of Teh, Teh got angry because he didn't like change or the fact that Oh-aew was now branching out into his own individuality.
After episode 3 I wanted the series to end with them apart. I truly felt that they were not meant to be. I felt that Teh was just a part of Oh-aew's story of self discovery and the Oh-aew had outgrown him. I truly believed this right until minute 40 of episode 5. When teh expressed his feelings through that play and seeing Oh-aew's reaction it hit me in that moment that despite everything this was love and they both still loved each other. Oh-aew was hesitant because of fear of being hurt again but his heart still wanted Teh; so in the end:
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
I did not watch this series I lived it, breathed it and experienced it. I felt no disconnect between the seasons.
Any series that has cheating and can convince me in the last minutes of a finale that a couple is meant to be gets my 10/10 any day.
