Tae&Kookies????

Yes please ಥ‿ಥ

At this point I've stopped my brain from doing any further analysis and just keep calm and wait for the next two eps because all this strength would be what I will be needing then!

Well who am I kidding!!!
Just while literally writing this my brain is working on another analysis༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

Ah guys!!! I would be needing some emotional support for the next two eps plz(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

This is a perfect description of the trailer for the next ep. Teh just kind of wants to live in the moment and not really face the actual circumstances while since Oh-aew is giving his all in he naturally wants some promise/assurance of the future.

If we go by this a rough plotline does stand out...falling for someone then getting parted now here we know after Teh and Oh-aew reunited only then did they both start developing feelings for each other so maybe now this indicates that Teh is in fact going to part with Oh-aew? Maybe go abroad to study? And then realise that he is seriously in love with Oh-aew and decide to return and patch things up?
But then comes the next part
"however, you leave him behind even you‘ve already given him all your heart." is this indicating that after returning back Teh is too late and Oh-aew is so much hurt throughout ("given him all your heart") that he no longer wishes to be with him!!!

Ahhh! Man I just want those two eps! This series has officially made me insane and obsessed!!! How did this happen! Nadao, PP, Billkin what have y'all done to me!!

Guys! Look at this...idk if y'all had seen it already but it's a clear translation I've read so far and Nadao posted it on their community page a long while back...

Bro I am re-watching watching the trailer for what 100th time now I am just like...we are all here proposing theories but for some reason I think this series is going to take us on a rollercoaster filled with surprises...twists and plot no one ever saw coming but when once seen you would think it couldn't get any better than this!

This thing you wrote about "after meeting Oh again, since Teh's place in the university was pretty much set he could relax on that part of his life", I wonder what it would be like if it was Oh who got in instead of Teh. But well that's not how it went so dwelling on it is futile yet I wonder if the whole "Rival" thing would still persist if that would be the case. But also as @HnR said that no one writes pages of "Rival" even after all those year so I think that was to show that Teh actually never stopped thinking about Oh it's just that maybe his deep feelings were layered with the childish rivalry which for him was a easier emotion to understand then the more deeper and intimate one.

Oh! I get this theory too. But in personal opinion I don't think the series is left with enough time as to deal with the death of any supporting characters because first of all there are more than 3 scenes still left from the initial trailer itself adding to that the story is yet to clarify Teh's emotional turmoils so all this then more addition to it the after math of the lead character's brother's death which will take at least more then 30 mins of the remaining two eps. so looking at it from this perspective it doesn't seem quite feasible. But who knows what will exactly happen...all we can do is wait I guess and see where the story takes us!

Also, Teh living in a lie and not pursuing his actual feelings for me brings us yet again to a storyline with no moral lesson. Being in denial and living as something you aren't because of societal norms and standards is the biggest issue of the people from the LGBTQ community so by just doing that the series is in a way justifying the ideology and not really providing any helpful lesson or solution to the problem.

Oh my goodness! You opened a whole new plot with this! Honestly now after reading this I realized that actually yes! Teh didn't have his own time... reflecting on what "He" truly feels about all this! Something or the other kept hindering and yes at first I thought that Oh-aew's trying to not pressurise him was good but now that I think about it...he actually did in a way also put Teh on spot but yet...I guess they wished to move on with the storyline cuz it's only 5 eps? But then again now I am scared! The way you wrote "For all he knows he may not have serious feeling for Oh-aew, it may be just lust accompanied with the need to experience more physically which is something that goes hand in hand with his age." ahhhh if this is how it's ending it would rip my soul literally!!! I can't! Oh doesn't deserve this༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽
But again in a way I can see this happening too! (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

So all this while as we know the series has focused on Teh's character development and tried to give lessons through him...the more I think about it the more I wish the Series doesn't end on any sad note...not because I don't want a sad ending...but because it... just wouldn't sit right with everything that has taken place so far. An ending which would actually give us some moral lesson I think does fall under an happy/open ending at this point. Other all predicted ones, after watching the 3 ep., in some way doesn't satisfy the moral lessons requirements at all.
Also I wish to add that death of any character wouldn't be the possible ending and if it is...it would unfortunately ruin this beautiful production I've ever seen completely.

Hence at this point if the series is anyways bound to give us an sad/bittersweet ending then some surprise elements are still stored in either the 4th or even the last ep. which we can only wait for.

Now coming to what I think is going to happen in the next eps. is I think the first good half is going to be Teh trying to control his desires and combined with Oh-aew trying to not pressurise him in any way.

One thing we have all seen is that Oh-aew really is trying to give Teh his own time and space to come to terms with what he is feeling. I honestly liked how they showed Oh-aew's hesitance when it came to Bas but he going all confident and out when it came to Teh...because I guess Oh-aew observed Teh and his reactions while taking in the little details, like during the time Teh and Tarn's video call and after which Teh tells him that it's good knowing she reached home safely and then the same day when Oh chooses to go home with Bas and he receives a message from Teh telling to inform him once he reaches home. So I guess this is how Oh developed his confidence in regards to what Teh feels about him but again him constantly saying "Whatever suits you..." / "Don't think about it so much...just do what you feel like..." here you can see he is really putting Teh ahead of his own feelings and that is such an amazing selfless part shown of someone who with all their heart wants to be with the other but doesn't wish to pressure them. And I think this is still going to continue from Oh's side... because idk if y'all have seen the next ep. trailer but in that Oh tells Teh that "It's okay if you don't want to get up at 4:00 in the morning with me and you can tell me if I shouldn't come at your house anymore...I understand" (this I guess is in regards to what happened in the end of 3 ep., here too Oh doesn't wish Teh to feel uncomfortable in any way) my heart broke watching that part and I know I am going to cry watching the actual scene but ahh...anyways...coming back...I think Teh kinda agrees to it because in next scene we see Oh cancelling his set alarm for 3:59.

But I guess then due to this exact reason Teh kind of starts...in a way... missing Oh-aew because since he had tasted how good it feels to finally be with him even with things not quite clear (since the whole 3rd ep. was based on Teh's inner battles of him yearning for Oh and those yearnings finally being satisfied in a way) so then I guess with the same frustration and fervour he goes back to patch things up with Oh which I think will happen on the beach because then that will create a kind of happy moment for both of them where forgetting everything else they both get back with each other...so here Oh would think that Teh finally came to terms with his feelings and so in that happiness he asks the question in the trailer "So what about us now" and even tho the scene changes pretty quickly you can still see in that split second the drop in Teh's facial expression. I guess this is where it finally triggers Teh out of their momentary happiness and every other aspects which he hadn't quite considered comes crashing down on him and while stuck in this turmoil I think Teh then says something hurtful to Oh-aew and just...runs away? Which then brings us to the two scenarios in the trailer, first Teh going back to Tarn's place and asking her to say she loves him which even after she does we know Teh realizes he doesn't feel the same back...and then the most heartbreaking part where Oh is rolling on the floor crying because after being so much patient and putting his feelings aside he got the momentary hope only for that to be crushed with hurtಥ‿ಥ

Which then finally beings us to the ending! Here I really don't want to speculate much but personally just for my own satisfaction and because I do have a wild imagination I've created a ending scenario in my own head
(Warning: please don't laugh this is my own personal imagination made to satisfy my brains so read under your own risk>.<)

So after all this Oh-aew of course passes his test and goes alone to fulfill the Promise and shout to the Sunset about it but of course he is heartbroken so he just sits there alone and to make it more dramatic my brains even imagined that there would once again be clouds blocking the sun but because Oh-aew is really tired mentally he just gives up? But then at a point you can see the clouds moving apart and (drumrolls plz)...Teh comes from behind and for a while none of them talk and then Teh...looking at the setting sun starts talking and laying out all his inner turmoils along with his genuine feelings/his love confession for Oh and in a way indirectly asks Oh-aew to give him some more time/to perhaps wait for him?...that he will get this together while figuring himself out and the circumstances...and lastly we see our lovely Oh-aew kinda agreeing?

Since everyone is here worrying about the ending let me copy paste my theory I replied to a comment earlier.

HELP!!!

Just now I was listening to PP's version of Skyline on my TV while my 5 yr old cousin was playing besides me and I didn't know when he stopped because I was on my phone and suddenly I hear sniffing and I look towards him and he is just sitting there looking at the TV and since it was on Spotify, PP's cover picture was on the screen and then he suddenly started wailing!!! I panicked and started frantically asking him what's wrong, at first I thought he was hurt somewhere and didn't tell me but he started saying in our language to stop the song (it was nearly the end) and that it's making him feel like crying!!!

The power of a song when even a 5 year old who doesn't even understand any bit of it still could gather the emotions poured out༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

This is one of the most detailed analysis I've read so far and might I say the most well put out. I agree with all your points here & as far as my theory is concerned I am not that clear about the details but I do have a general perspective of where it should be heading.

First, after reading your analysis I agree that since all this while the series has focused on Teh's character development and tried to give lessons through him...the more I think about it the more I wish the Series doesn't end on any sad note...not because I don't want a sad ending...but because it... just wouldn't sit right with everything that has taken place so far. An ending which would actually give us some moral lesson I think does fall under an happy/open ending at this point. Other all predicted ones, after watching the 3 ep., like you analysed above in some way doesn't satisfy the moral lessons requirements at all.

Hence at this point if the series is anyways bound to give us an sad/bittersweet ending then some surprise elements are still stored in either the 4th or even the last ep. which we can only wait for.

Now coming to what I think is going to happen in the next eps. is I think the first good half is going to be Teh really trying to control his desires and combined with Oh-aew really trying to not pressurise him in any way.

Welp again wrote an essay! Anyways here is my analysis!

I totally get and understand what you meant here and let me explain this situation from my personal view.

Firstly I myself am a person who is either very attached to someone or doesn't even know the last name of that person, so I am either all in or all out and being someone like this and having the knowledge about this trait has given me an upper hand in knowing exactly what I feel about the other person.

Now, taking this into account from the perspective of LGBTQ firstly I still stand by that a lot of the inner turmoil you go through is because of the society...let me explain. An average human being no matter how much poor they are at expressing or understanding their own feelings still can tell the difference between romantic/ platonic feelings. Yes, we can confuse infatuation, sexual attraction, crush and love but I believe the basic line between platonic friendship and romantic feelings is quite clearly drawn. Yet why do we have ppl in LGBTQ community struggling with separating the exact feelings? Well it's the society...rather the world we have grown into which has created these mental barriers for us.

I am a female and I don't remember ever questioning myself as to why I am even attracted to other male. Vice versa must've been your case if that's how it was. But then why in the first place did you even get confused if you have platonic feelings or romantic feelings for your friend...why did you go through all those self questionings and inner turmoils...if this friend of yours would've been a female instead would you go through such questionings/confusions? because then I am sure you would know that even tho y'all were friends before now due to some reason your feelings changed into romantic ones...yes maybe here the confusion would lie in the case of wether the feelings are very deep to risk the friendship or just attraction but my point is you would at least know that you no longer see them as "Just Friends"...because here you have nothing holding you back and making you confused.

But when it comes to the same gender first of all the mental barriers that the society has created in our heads makes us double think as to why are we even feeling this way, if wether these feeling are truly romantic or we are just confusing Platonic feelings to those of romantic ones...all this self questions starts because somewhere we have been taught that this isn't right...that this is not how it's supposed to be. We doubt ourselves where in normal circumstances we wouldn't and that is even the reason why people go through so much denial of their own identity... because in all this doubts and questions we start loosing ourselves.

Three eps in and I've got such a deep insight...this series has earned my respects and I am buying this as soon I get a job! I am all in to support them.

//Long Long Rant ahead//

Firstly sorry for seeing me flood the comments section here but honestly I have no other ways to let out these emotions this series has brought out in me!

After the 3rd Ep. I am sure of this one thing and that is this series isn't going to be one of those to follow your typical plotline, there are going to be surprising turns because 3rd ep. was a surprise to me personally.

Although I believed that untill the 2nd ep. we weren't given any clue of what Oh-aew thinks/feels abt Teh, in 3rd ep. I think this was very clearly shown and for some reason this shift just from 2nd to 3rd ep. didn't at all feel rushed! Rather it felt like the long suppressed emotions from both sides were finally freed and were gushing out in an overwhelming beauty.

Now comes the plot and tho I would be extremely happy if here too the story takes us on a surprising turns I do somewhere think that if this series follows the denial plotline it won't at all seem repetitive because I have faith that the way they would protray those turmoils would be like no other!

(Whatever I am writing now is in no way meant to be offensive...it's just me trying to put myself in someone's place and look at things from that perspective)

After yesterday's ep. and especially after the ending scene I for some reason tried to place myself (since I do not belong to the LGBTQ community) in the general place of a person who all this while had the accepted 'normal' ways of societal attraction but due to a trigger after a period of time starts realising that it might not be the case. What would I do? If one day I discover that I see a person of the same gneder from a romantic point of view?

Ans is...I would deny it in an instance because I would be shit scared of even the thought coming to my mind and you know why? Because this family, this society, hell this Country I live in has shown me clearly throughout the time how much they wouldn't support and rather distaste someone like me if it were the case. Sometimes I find myself being grateful that I don't belong to the LGBTQ community because if I were to...I would have the ugliest mental scars I would be dooning throughout my life. Here I am living in a society that doesn't even believe or look at the simple concept of Depression as something that prevails and is an important thing to consider...how would I then survive the battle of proving my sexual orientation?

I guess a lot of people who watch productions revolving around the LGBTQ community don't really understand the struggle of being in one, neither did I untill I really started placing myself in their shoes. And half of the blame does go on the ways today's productions are directed...you have these two handsome male leads...one of them is usually super confident about their sexuality and one of them either is straight or hates the community altogether and then we see that somehow irrespective of all this the leads falls for each other...and live happily ever after and of course not to mention that mostly everyone around them belongs to the LGBTQ community so everything seems even more normal and comfortable. Well not to criticize these types of production because I have too once enjoyed them and I guess that's also the ultimate goal of anything that's even produced in the entertainment industry yet...a lot of people have gotten into them solely on the bases of "Gay Fetishing"...how do I know... well embarrassingly I have done that too in my earlier days. (But after reading novels giving me abundant lessons on general human emotions I am glad to say that I no more read BL novels for any kind of fetishing rather I read them to grow my perspectives on human emotions and feelings and mostly the way of life. And I wish to apologise for getting into BL based on that type of vibes.)

Of course real life and the struggles of belonging to LGBTQ community still in these days doesn't get any less tough. We think looking at all those western celebrity/influencer's world that the other world is also similarly starting to open up to this community but unfortunately that's far from the truth. I don't know about the western countries but I can vouch for the Asian Countries that here, if you live in your average middle class society and you belong in the LGBTQ community you are going to go through struggles and self Identity denial for such a long period of time that in the end it will start affecting your metal and well as physical well-being. Of course this is but a general way, and one of the two things to avoid this is you either live in a society or family which at least tries understanding you/accepts your preferences or you are a rock hard person who has tremendous belief in your own self and wouldn't care about the opinions of others. Sadly many few have one of the two factors by their sides and I would roughly guess that less than 5% of at least my own countrie's population does accept the LGBTQ community.

All in all today I just wished to write this down here because the series is literally an eye opener...because it isn't like we aren't really aware of all this but the entertainment world has shadowed these parts by all the dazzling goods...some productions today I believe are just getting into this only for the amount of profits it's making. So, I really really wish that this series gets scooped out even from the BL tag and compete with generalized series because I bet it would snatch awards left and right! It has the potential.

Hi I watched it on Line TV app! If it's not available for you lik for me lol you just download this app called FlyVPN and choose Bangkok and voila u have it! (Someone in the comments section told me about this tho) and it works because that's exactly how I watched it rn!

Okay so to actually review the ep. 3 since I am yet to watch it with subtitles I can't say it in regards to how the story is going to proceed although the ending did give me the needed clue yet my opinion here is based sheerly on the emotions portrayed and man! These two leads need 100 awards for their acting asap!!!

The episode 3 of I told Sunset about You has Defined Sexual Tension in ways never seen before! Take an extremely beautiful erotic painting drawn by an extremely well known artist and gaze at it...the emotions you feel while staring at the painting...that...those exact emotions are what you would feel watching this Episode! Maybe even more because it's just...ahhhh I am I can't!!
I am about to lose my mind here I am sorry for this meltdown ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

I owe you BIG TIME! Honestly where was I even all this time! I didn't know about this particular VPN app! It's a saver!!! Thank you so much for this

Please I need someone's emotional strength rn because I can't handle this no more! The ending of this ep. has already ripped me apart HOW AM I GOING THE SURVIVE THE FINAL ENDING!!!!!
