A couple of random observations.

In Episode 1, the first time I watched Teh's big apology on the beach I expected the two guys to hug, but instead they remained standing apart by some distance.

I realize that this might symbolize the metaphorical distance that remains between them despite their reconciliation, but then I thought that they might have staged it that way so that their hug at the very end of the series would have more impact.

Also, there are a couple of scenes where Teh wears a t-shirt that has "I Told Sunset About You" written on it. Does anyone have any idea what that's about? Is the phrase "I told sunset about you" a quote from a poem, song, or book?

What you say about the balance between the university scenes and high school scenes is interesting. In the book, leading up to Itt's confession 40 chapters are set in the university with only 5 or 6 in the high school.

Of course, the book version would make better viewing because Itt isn't being mean to Pai all the time. He's mean to him a bit in high school but when they get to university he's trying to get Pai to take him seriously as a friend.

LOL ... the only effort they made to age the dude was some pale lipstick. The makeup crew must have all called in sick that day.

Bas is such a beautiful human being.

Great analysis. The only thing I worry about is that Tor's brother could be a sexual harasser. When Boom showed up on that first day, Tor's mother commented on how the female employees don't stay around long. Plus he encouraged her to wear more revealing clothing instead of office attire.

I liked it. I've rewatched several times. It's cute and frothy and a little ridiculous, and much better than this series.

It's infantile of me, but I loved that nipple joke. It's the kind of joke that will still make me laugh the 100th time I see it.

Me too. It was because she was there in his house all casual-like in the first episode. I even commented on here about his supportive sister lol.

Mike and Toptap as the "Greek chorus" are so flippin' funny. I love it when actors look like they're having a blast playing their roles.

And Khao's dancing is so cute.

wow, whoever changed his pic deserves a round of applause haha ... sexy schmexy!

That hug was worth 100 kisses ... they both had to learn and suffer so much to get there

And I'm glad that Bas got a loving hug as well

When you rent from Vimeo the picture quality is stunning .... that is $6 well spent

Can we get the rating to 9.6 or more by the weekend?

How you can help:

- Mark the series as "Complete" on your profile and rate it 10/10 for each category.
- Write a review and award 10/10 across the board.

100% correct. So many people seem to miss this.

Gang: please be sure to update your "watch status" to Completed once you've seen the finale. I think the scores count for more when you've completed a series.

All 10/10 ratings much appreciated.

This is the rarest kind of rare series that breaks through the ceiling to soar into the cinematic realm. Even if there are small details or an outcome that you didn't love, I think we can all agree that we'd welcome any other series that aspires to be such a great experience. A high score will help to send that message.

ITSAY deserves universal visibility and appreciation. ^_^

omg Bas is not only cute and sweet, he is a saint ... I'm gonna hate seeing my baby cry :(

Could someone please put a spoiler regarding whether it's a happy, sad, or open ending. (And if the open ending is optimistic or pessimistic.)

I posted it in the discussion section. :)

Anybody who ever hated on 'Because of You' should be tied down and forced to watch this.

Great kissing at the end, though. Looked legit.

Sounds like my reaction too. I was continually delighted, and could hardly believe that I'll be able to enjoy this frothy concoction for the next 12 weeks.
