Was IPYTM as memorable as ITSAY? Definitely not.
I’m usually not a fan of sequels but decided to give IPYTM a go because 1) I loved ITSAY so much and 2) I was looking forward to some visually aesthetic and emotionally intense sequences.
If I Told Sunset About You (ITSAY) is about desire, I Promised You The Moon is the heartbreaking sequel about decay.
The series title hints at how people will fall short of expectations and fail to live up to promises, because, well, such is life. The series starts off with an innocent sappiness reminiscent of ITSAY and Last Twilight In Phuket, but it’s all downhill from there in a gradual but inevitable death of their relationship.
I had a different expectation of Teh in the IPYTM timeline, which takes place some years later. I was hoping to see character development within the context of a maturing relationship, but instead, Teh remained disappointingly unlikeable in his older years.
