Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você (2020)

El BL más hermoso que existe.

I told sunset about you es un BL estupendo. Desde el primer capítulo, que contextualiza al espectador, hasta la clara visualización del desarrollo de la historia de amor entre Teh y Oh-aew. Esta serie tiene personajes muy humanos y hermosos, los amigos de estudio de ellos. La familia de Teh es bellísima, con un hermano que lo apoya en sus decisiones, y una madre amorosa.
Y, la relación de Teh y Oh-aew que es simplemente pura, bella, juvenil, maravillosa. Se siente el amor entre ellos todo el tiempo, se disfruta con ellos, se sufre con ellos. Asimismo, el soundtrack es inolvidable, con las maravillosas voces de Pp y Billkin. Un clásico tailandés espectacular, imperdible y maravilloso.

Quando criaram o cinema

Incrível como essa é a única obra que eu faço questão de criar uma nova resenha pra cada rede social na qual falo dela. I told sunset about you é – e acredito que sempre vai ser – meu conforto, não só porque toda a atmosfera em si passa essa sensação mas porque eu encontrei nela um porto seguro com o qual me identifico infinitamente.

É maravilhoso amar uma obra em todos os aspectos, sejam eles a fotografia, atuação, enredo, desenvolvimento, personagens, etc. I told engloba e expressa tudo isso tão bem que é difícil pra mim explicar o quanto adoro absolutamente todo e qualquer detalhe nesse universo. Eu pessoalmente não sou alguém muito ligado a romance, ainda mais na vida real, mas o relacionamento do teh e oh-aew é tão puro e ao mesmo tempo tão avassalador que me fez desejar ter um pouco disso na prática.

Amo essa série e também todos os rastros que ela deixou em mim. Ela me ensinou sobre maturidade, sobre amizade, sobre conhecimento próprio, aceitação, sobre família e por aí segue uma lista enorme. Se eu pudesse escolher um universo no qual viver pra sempre com certeza escolheria esse onde o teh e o oh-aew existem.

ENEMIES TO LOVERS EXCELLENCE

This bl drama has everything a bl drama should have! Story and acting were top notch! I usually don’t write reviews and infact this is the first time I’m writing a review because I just couldn’t stop myself from writing a review for this.

Starting of this drama has a really very different vibe from other Thai drama that I have seen it is so aesthetically pleasant. Angst at its best!

Talking about acting it was great!

The story I’ll say it was nothing out of box or extremely unique but it’s simplicity makes it so beautiful!

All I’ll have to say is if you don’t watch this drama then you’re missing out on a really good drama and when I say really good it is REALLY GOOD

Rollercoaster of emotions

I have never come across such a perfect BL series before. Be it the cinematography, the story line, the main cast - everything touched my heart. The near kiss moments had me eating right out of the director's hand. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, feeling same emotion as the boys did. I felt hurt when Oh felt hurt. I felt anxious when Teh felt anxious. There was not a moment in the drama that I would go back and replace with something else. Every moment was precious. The pauses throughout the series helped build the tension. While I am not a fan of slow burn, this one definitely had me thinking other wise. The character development was immense. To be able to feel so many emotions at once, I think this series was a gift in disguise of carefully crafted imagery.

After watching so many BL series, I thought nothing could surprise me anymore. But subtle scenes and without much kinship, this series went on to show that excellent acting and music can make anything magical. Coming to the acting, I think both guys were on point. The emotions were so intense, every time they stared at each other, the way they understood each other without the need of words - in my mind I was yelling, "Crescendo crescendo crescendo." And as if I wasn't already enamored by those two, I think the rest of the cast did an excellent job too. The way Tarn was portrayed and the symbolical meaning behind the hibiscus, I could feel in her shoes what it might have felt like to see the person you liked so much not suddenly not return the same feelings anymore. I loved the addition of background music at each place. Every time the beats became faster, even without anyone telling I knew something was about to happen. Then at some point the music would just leaving nothing but silence in its wake. I think that helped intensify our feelings as a viewer >.<

Frankly, I actually didn't know such a series existed. It was a chance encounter through one of the review forums where I saw the name and just by hearing the title alone, I was eager to watch it. And I am so glad it did. The story is a roller coaster of emotions. I cried so hard when Oh asked his parents if they were proud of him. I think as a child, acceptance from your parents is the biggest support one can ask for. There is nothing more valuable than being accepted by the people around you for who you are. Asking for acceptance can be scary. But realization is scarier. The fact that Oh openly posted his pic in lingerie and then deleting it within seconds tapped on a touchy subject. Or the fact that Teh jerked off to the same. Damn! They subtly touched over quite deep concepts and it didn't feel awkward at all. The flow of things was uncharacteristically natural.

I feel this series deserves much more than 8.4 on MDL. And I heard there is a second season to it. So goodbye! Thank you for reading my line of thoughts (I know I am bore people out of their minds sometimes but who cares!) I am off to my next station!

A beautifully told story

This just gives realism. Even though the character Teh is hella dramatic, it still feels realistic. The miscommunications were not a mere trope and plot tool. The writing expressed relatable ways in which people can be. They may say one thing and do another. And two people with the closeness of these two main characters are often left reading into the actions of the other, so that the truth of their relationship is much deeper than what ithers hear or see. There is a connection underneath it all that requires understanding, and the conflict comes when that understanding falters.

I thought the actors pulled it off quite beautifully. Even the music had a lit of great moments. The cinematography was also beautiful, romantic and melancholy.

Nice series.

La cinematografía, la música, los escenarios, la actuación... I Told Sunset About You es una preciosidad.

La atención que esta producción pone a los detalles es grandiosa. Los objetos y colores se vuelven parte importante de la narración. Por no mencionar la música, hay una escena con los personajes cantando que es simplemente hermosa.

Los actores crearon algo fascinante con la relación. Se siente tensión en cada toque, mirada y silencio.

El vínculo de Oh y Teh es muy especial. Incluso como amigos, es enorme el cariño. La cosa es que, cuando amas con tanta fuerza, puedes salir herido con la misma intensidad.

Esta historia tomó mi corazón y jugó con él sin parar. Así como me regaló bellas escenas, me hizo sufrir con el dolor de los personajes mientras entendían sus sentimientos y combatían una guerra interna para aceptarlos.

Well made and well acted but a little uneven

The series accomplishes a lot. It remains engaging and enjoyable even though we mostly watch the mistakes and missteps of high school students trying to manage their first romantic relationsihps. It's all drama with very little time spent watching anyone enjoy eachother's companionship, but it works. The attention to detail in portraying life in the baba/straits chinese community in Phuket well exceeds what one typically sees in a television series, and it helps give the series a background depth that supports the narrative by vignette storytelling style. The acting is generally good overall, although this being a series there are the occasional moments of under-realized and manneristic characterizations.
The writing is a bit uneven and in places seems to be inconsistent. E.g. Teh and Oh become estranged later in the series after Oh more or less tells Teh the friendship is over. Oh stops returning Teh's calls. And yet towards the end we find Oh asking Teh not to dissappear again.
The main theme music is quite an earworm, and Billkin's performance of it is very well sung and produced.

It is a well-made BL drama.

This drama was often recommended whenever I looked up Thai dramas, so I decided to watch it to see why it seemed so popular.

I was surprised by the fact that it was only 5 episodes, but because of the short number of episodes, every episode was substantial, filled with emotions yet not exaggerated, things happened fast and not draggy, I didn't feel bored a single moment.

Everyone in the drama acted very well, especially the main leads, despite being relatively young. Teh, one of the main leads, is only 22 years old. Of course, him being only 22 years old, I did not expect perfect acting, but it was good enough, really.

The chemistry between the two leads was also very good. I did not feel any awkwardness between them at all.

Basically, I do not have any negative comments to make about this drama. It was well-made. Details were well taken care of.

After completing this drama, I did not have enough of seeing the two leads' interaction (yes, it was that good), so I was pleasantly surprised to find the sequel 'I promised you the moon', which I will do a separate review on that drama review page.

I have to add, the OST of this drama gives a nostalgic vibe to this drama filmed in Phuket, fits the drama to a T.

é um amor jovem, ambos erram, ambos acertam.

o drama todo é perfeito, tanto a alto descoberta deles, principalmente a do teh, a forma como foi abordado a homofobia interna eu achei algo bem realista, todos os sentimentos que ele tinha e mesmo assim ele não conseguir fazer qualquer coisa sem que ele se sentisse culpado, o apoio que ele recebe do hoon é invejável também, mostra que depois dele falar em voz alta e ouvir tudo que ele sentia, ser compreendido e ter o apoio, ele finalmente consegue se libertar sensacional. A forma como é mostrado o romance entre eles é tão profunda e leve ao mesmo tempo, todos os sentimentos parece que tu consegue sentir tudo que eles sentem junto, obviamente sua visão é mais privilegiada que a deles, mas eu consegui sentir o que eles sentiram.
Os personagens são bem construídos, não são aquele raso de faz merda e é errado e pronto tem o motivo, as emoções, o pensar demais, o preconceito, é incrivel, é poético e a atuação é tão boa.

Showing without needing to tell

The subtext is palpable.
The chemistry is electrifying.
The emotions are raw.

I gave this a 10 out of 10 rating before finishing the 3rd episode.

The last 2 episodes could be crap and it would still be 10 stars based on the 3 episodes alone. Of course i waited until i finished before sharing my review. But as expected, still a 10 out of 10.

Instead of seeing stereotypical TV-movie romantic characterizations, both characters act and react in ways you really identify with. Their actions and words always feel like something you've done or thought of doing in real life. They don't rely on conversations with side characters to understand what the leads are feeling. There is no exposition of their feelings. There's no voiceovers. There's no need for it. Their actions are enough to know and feel exactly what they're feeling.

With writing and acting like this, the storyline could be the most boring thing and it wouldn't matter. Tv shows like this let me know that any old plot can make an amazing watching experience if it's written and acted well.

Do yourself a favor and watch this.
