In episode 5, there was a scene at the pool where Q shows his interest to Oh-Aew but Oh-Aew just immediately friendzones him.

Khim and Top is dating each other based on the conversation between them. A college couple is Tarn and her boyfriend. Tarn is Teh gf in 1st part.

I was not really sure about the "Cheating" topic that was shown in ep 3 - 4 but I decided not to leave any comment yet. Part of that is because I don't really think there's any significant message to tell when it comes to cheating. Cheating will never be the right thing and it's too cliche and I didn't wish to see in the sequel of I Told Sunset About You.

I'm happy that I was wrong all along. They only used cheating as a bridge to the key message they want to talk about. The message of I Promised You The Moon is not about the sequences of cheating and being cheated since we all know what to expect from that. I think the real message is about how Promise is not easy to keep, which is contradict to the message on I Told Sunset About You that portray the beauty of love through all the promises.

If you still remember, in the final scene of I Told Sunset About You, Teh and Oh-Aew gave promises to each other. One of that was to never disappear again. In the finale of I Promised You The Moon, both of them grow up enough to know that promises are difficult to keep and will likely turn to poison one day. What more important is understanding and being sincere to one another. Oh-Aew even told Teh that instead of promising, let's be more understanding and talking to each other more when problem comes. Relationship needs this more than any promises and I think this is the key message of IPYTM.

I like how the script turned our most beloved character in BL History like Teh to the character we all feel disgusted, hate and untrusted. I believe Oh-Aew also feels the same somehow. But the point is Oh-Aew could forgive him and is ready to try once again. The biggest question is are we all, as the audience, ready to forgive him as well? For me, I think Teh deserves my forgiveness and I kinda believe that he already has his lesson and he will treasure Oh-Aew as much from now on no matter what.

Don't forget that he chooses Oh-Aew over his dream now. He posted the picture of him and Oh-Aew with the bouquet with the caption "I said yes" on IG without hiding even when it might hurt his career of being superstar. Oh-Aew even reminded him that but Teh is mature enough to understand the consequences and assure Oh-Aew that it's only a part of the obstacle that they both have to conquer. You know that it's signed, sealed and delivered when you are putting someone over your dream.

There are so many typo as I typed in a hurry and didn't check before publishing (like 'In fact' and 'cute'). Sorry if it makes my comment difficult to read.

About the skin color, I've seen these boys in real life before and I can only guarantee it with you that Drake is "FAR" more darker than Frank. Please do not trust what you see in the picture, there's a magic trick we call photoshopping. In far, he is one of the actors that I myself would classify as a dark-tan skin. But the boy is surely cut even with his dark-tan skin.

You are right about Yaya and Nadech being very famous here in Thailand. However, you are focusing at the wrong reason of why they are famous. Both Yaya and Nadech are famous because of their manner and behaviour. Of course, they are very good looking but that alone wouldn't be enough to make them a Thailand Sweetheart. I don't know if you know Poo Praiya (She is Thai / Iraq and is very famous locally and internationally), Noon Siraphun (100% Thai and is super famous), Maeya Nonthawan (Thai from Southern part of Thailand with dark complexion and was crowned as Miss Thailand 2014 and is still being loved widely in Thailand up until now.) Benze Ponchita (One of the dark skin super start in Thailand that has been in the industry for so long and being loved by everyone. She is 100% Thai), Opal Panisara (She is like Ellen Degeneres of Thailand and she is 100% Thai with dark skin). These are only some names I could easily think of when it comes to dark skin famous celebrities in Thai Entertainment Industry and there are many more that I can't even list it in weeks.

Thing is, you can't just judge the whole Thai Entertainment Industry and Thai Society with those that you know. Many of those fair skin (or white) actors/ actress that you know are not even famous in Thailand. Many of them won't even be recognized by Thai locals as a star here. I would say that those that you know are world-wide handsome, which means they are normally being recognized as handsome not only for Thai people. So I guess they are international standard more than just a Thai Standard.

Regarding the Miss Thailand Universe, it's always like that every year. I don't think people really care much already. Trust me that no matter who is the winner of the stage, white or dark skin, they will be bashed by those who don't like. If they don't like, it's all about not liking. They will have to find the flaw in that person and criticise or they won't be able to move on with their topic. This happens all the time and every year that we Thai are fed up off. Or you can take Maeya as an example, she is the darkest contestant in Miss Thailand Universe 2014 but she still took the crown back home and manages to be loved by Thai people.

Our nation is consisted of all skin types depending on where you are and what your ancestor is. Say if you are from Southern Part of Thailand, you would expect to be darker by standard compared to other part of the country. Being said that, there are so many super stars in Thailand that are from Southern Part of Thailand without a problem even when they have a darker shade of skin. So as a Thai local, I think being white might still gain you some advantage if you are trying to look for it, but it is not enough to call the whole country a white-worshiping colorist.

Agreed on what you've said. Only one thing, I think I like him in this role more than when he was in Slam Dance. For me, I think he is acting better in this series.

Anyway, you are right that even when he is acting better, it doesn't mean that it's at the point where I would praise him for that. I could also see potential in some other casts like Morn and Ton. I do wish they would be better in acting and they would, one day, be offered a good role for them once so they can prove it.

I'm Thai and I've seen a lot from our entertainment industry 'til I believe that I can just leave a comment from my perspective. I wouldn't deny that being fair skin is quite popular and admirable here in Thailand. But one thing I can totally disagree with your is the thing you said that there's zero half black or even tan skin famous actors in Thailand. You should know that many of them are half black or tan, and they are very famous. It's only the fact that they don't appear much in the show that go international but it doesn't mean they are not famous or not existed. We do have SO MANY actors and actress that are black, half black and tan and most of them are famous locally than these new kids now a day.

Back to Drake, he is also a good example of a tan skin actor. I have met him before so I know that he is very tan, not as close as to call white at all. The fact that he is half American doesn't make him white. But what he has from being half American is the exotic look and it's pretty normal that people are more admiring on something that is exotic. So if there's anything you should talk about the boy, please don't comment on something that is not even true to his case that he could be in acting career just because Thailand is white-worshiping colorist.

In fact, he acts pretty good in his first main role in "cause you are my boy" I dare to day that he could act better than most of the boys in the series.
