All the comments and analysis are so interesting. I wish I could be as objective as some of you are but I just can’t be. There are some things I have a very very low tolerance for and cheating is one of them. The first time I saw it was when I was around eight years old. By the way the couple stayed together. I didn’t find it amusing then and still don’t over 50 years later. I was fortunate I guess. My soulmate and I were married 50 years before he passed. We kept each other in check. I was never one to hold back . True love always won out. So there is hope for Teh and Ohew. I’ll find out in the spoilers because I just don’t have the heart to watch Ohew in pain and Teh and Jai in lust. Take care everyone.
I'm more frustrated than sad, to be honest. This show was trying hard fighting all the BL cliches and now... I…
That’s why I love Until We Meet Again and A Thousand Stars so much. There is still drama and a lot of emotion depicted but they did not resort to what you identified as BL cliches....no cheating, no female trying to “fix” one of the males, no sudden deadly accident, no problem with family members accepting the relationship.
I feel so sad for Ohew. Can you imagine watching your boyfriend kissing someone else like that. Yes Teh can play off like he was just playing a role but Ohew is not stupid. I just hope nothing bad happens to Ohew. I hope he just goes home and has a good cry. Then he should tell Teh what he saw and how he felt before giving Teh the boot. The happy ending will be Teh becoming the actor he wants to be and Ohew with someone who truly loves and respects him. Forget all that nonsense about being confused. You not in high school. You in your third year college. Teh not confused. This is who he is. If not Jai, it will be May, Mary, Dick and Harry down the road. I’ve made plenty of excuses for Teh. I’m done with Teh. Live your life Ohew.
At this point I’d like to see Ohew put on a pair of red heels and a flowing caftan and float into that workshop and knock the hell out of Teh...and on his way out the door give a twirl and let his bag smack Jai in the butt. Then I’d like to see him find that cutie who asked for his number and give him a whirl. I want to see Teh sitting somewhere in a corner sobbing like the wimp he has turned out to be. Hopefully he’ll see Jai with the next conquest and realize how stupid he was.
I get that people are angry at Teh but why are folks angry at the writers? The writer's aren't calling cheating…
You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. I did not enjoy watching it at all.,I found it demeaning and insulting to the gay community. I did not find it the least bit entertaining and when I don’t like something I do what I need to do...I drop it! I could care less about the darn camera work or the music. It was the beautiful amazing storyline that offered so many wonderful opportunities to take the bl genre to a higher level. Instead they resorted to what’s been tried many times before to the point of upmost boredom and predictability.
What happens when you have a storyline and a script that is on the cusp of setting a higher standard for the bl genre? You get complacent and decide to dummy down. Ep 3 of I Promised You the Moon was a complete disaster. Whatever your intentions they were ruined. Apparently there will be no happy ending for Ohew and Teh as a couple. Whatever you do now will ring hollow. You obviously have no regard for true fans. As such apparently you see these two characters as being just two young flawed individuals with unrealistic views of love. It is your thinking that is flawed. At this point it would have been better if you didn’t even have a part 2 of ITSAY. You have ruined what could have been a Rembrandt. Now it’s just another paint by numbers cheap copy.
I was all set to crown you queen of bl screenwriters until I saw ep 3 of I Promised You The Moon. You took a confused character and made him a moron. The beautiful aesthetic qualities of this relationship have been completely ruined by the decision to take the low road and give us a cheating scenario. Was it too much to envision a gay couple having growing pains in their relationship and being able to work through them without interjecting a third party into the mix.
I think most people are losing the point that Jai activelly seduced and induced Teh to do that so that he would…
Oh wow as I was reading your analysis it reminded me of a person who was actually manipulated like Teh. She was going through a low point in her marriage and a person purposely set out to destroy the relationship. She was naive and vulnerable. There are some wicked people in the world. I always suspected Jai but I just felt Teh would be stronger.
I just know the writers think they did something groudbreaking with the cheating storyline. People saying "cheating…
That’s my feeling too. We know that cheating exists and we’ve seen it depicted in every which way possible but can’t we have a same sex relationship that does not show cheating. That’s why I love A tale of A Thousand Stars, Until We Meet Again and Love By Chance. Faithfulness is possible and is realistic.
Realistically when you work closely with someone and are with that person frequently a physical attraction can develop. You sense it and so does the other person. But if you are true to your partner you don’t act on those feelings....unless that’s what you want. That’s what I find so dissappointing about Teh. It’s not his developing feelings for Jai...it’s his betrayal and hypocrisy. I have lost interest in Teh at this moment. It does show what a gifted actor Billkin is. I just saw a live video with he and PP. It is dated 6/10 so apparently someone sensed a backlash. Billkin and PP are laughing and joking like they always do. I just kept thinking is this what you call damage control. I could be wrong but that’s how it came across to me. Sorry but the actor playing Jai is good but he and Billkin just don’t have the same chemistry as Billkin and PP nor does the characters Teh and Jai have the same chemistry as Ohew and Teh. Now Bas is different. I could definitely see him with Ohew. Teh could be with whom ever. At this point I could care less about what or who he hooks up with. Ep 5 can’t come soon enough to end this misery.
Thank you fir the spoilers. I saw the first part of ep 3 but I can’t watch anymore. I just don’t see the point of Teh cheating. Is he in love with Jai or the female partner?If he is he should have told Ohew they need a break. Ohew deserves better. I thought this was going to be a great love story. Now it feels like a tragedy. Maybe this is the way they separate the two actors for future individual projects. I can’t see them doing any fan events as a couple. It’s not the same as with Bas. Bas was very open. And Teh was the one in denial. Now he gets his mom’s approval for the two of them and he betrays Ohew. Ohew does not need to be hurt anymore and I don’t care to see Teh’s crocodile tears and his wailing sorties. I just thought Teh was better than this. I could care less about Jai or the female partner. I already did my review for this episode. I hope the overall ratings reflect the viewers dissatisfaction. All that beautiful scenery and acting prowess Seems very shallow. It’s the storyline that holds my interest.
Of course you’re right but most relationships also don’t include cheating they could’ve easily made the…
I agree. It’s the same feeling I get when people say everybody cheats. Everybody does not cheat. If it’s realistic to portray cheating in a relationship isn’t it just as realistic to portray fidelity in a relationship. The writers and producers had a decision as to which reality they would show. They chose cheating over faithfulness. I personally think that sends a terrible message especially during Pride month .
