Thai drama rec: I Told Sunset About You

A collection of the spazzing posts I made on Twitter, for my own reference because this is such a good piece of memory i don't want those moments to disappear into the black hole that is Twitter-verse.
Please watch this series, it's soooooo good! (LGBTQ theme)

(1) This is a piece of art. The subtleties, the underlying meanings behind scenes.
(2) This was me at 46:00, and 46:10, and 46:25, and 47:15. WTS.
EP3: confusion, courtship, desire
EP4: acceptance, joy, contradiction, despair, sacrifice, hurt, anger, determination.
I was as confused and angry as Oh-Aew mid-EP, fortunately drama karma found Teh in the last 15mins.
Script, cinematography, acting *thumbs up*
(4) Arthouse film quality.
(5) This is is supposed to be a poignant moment. Teh's fired up to study (also in part spurred by Oh-Aew's rejection of help), but only to be reminded that he cut apart his tb preparing the revision booklet for Oh-Aew.
But I couldn't stop laughing at this twist.
(6) The scene referred to in (2) above.

(7) A Nadao staff telling story about how they got Hibiscus flower (Chinese rose) being representative. There were so many in the list like 2sexs of Cichlid, Butterfly, or Clownfish which can switch its sex but they weren't perfect enough.
(8) Nadao's ITSAY teaser posts are the best. Up to our imaginations.
(9) Gosh the parallels. The script is brilliant!

(10) Teh in the white Sunset Tee gives me hope.
(11) A good production takes time. Time well spent.
(12) Apart from an excellent cast (acting) and crew (directing, sound, set, script, post-production), this series has an awesome promotion team. They are so good at teasing and hyping. The outside of series experience was fun too!
(13) It's over. What a satisfying watch! Grateful to Mew for recommending this. It's so good. Now I can surf without worrying about spoilers
The only series I've paid so much to watch. Gonna post a bit about this series so please bear with me!
Billkin's acting was so good in this scene, his expression changing as he observed Oh-Aew's reaction to Bas. From shock, to disbelief, to apprehension, to grief.
Me: The gal at the back.

Billkin's crying scenes here felt so raw! Especially in the corridor, how he took in deep breaths while trembling, to try hold back the tears. Isn't that what we do when we are in deep grief? Felt so real! Good acting!

Clip from Nadao here. My heart broke when I realised he wasn't going to make it for his exams because he was just crying half the time.

Such a good brother! Not overly idealistic, but still empathetic and wise.

Beautiful, beautiful picture composition.

Apart from an excellent cast (acting) and crew (directing, sound, set, script, post-production), this series has an awesome promotion team. They are so good at teasing and hyping. The outside of series experience was fun too!

I 愛 #IToldSunsetAboutYou and I love the director so much for putting this series together. Though I usually have no faith in season 2s of any series, I'll trust director P'Boss and the dedication of the entire cast and crew. Looking forward to this!

(14) See? The promotion team is so good at this.
“The sun never changes the direction it sets, just like us who cannot change our destiny. If you’re destined to love, you’ve gotta love. If you’re destined to be parted, you’ve got to be parted no matter how much you love one another.“ “Let me set my own destiny.“ - Teh :)

(15) Excuse me?
What type of production releases a brand new OST & official MV AFTER the final episode airs?
A confident one that doesn't need to use the MV to hype up buzz around the series but to use the MV as a finale to the series.
อาการแบบนี้ มันแปลว่าอะไร?

(16) Teh and Oh-Aew says yes to boxset.
With all the documentary contents too please!

(17) The fact that people are discussing about Teh's sexual orientation after #IToldSunsetAboutYou has finished airing only proves that this is more than a TV series, but a film piece with depth and nuances that can be analysed and interpreted critically.
(18) This is promotions done right. Continuing the hype. Good job!
