i love this analysis so much. i've been teetering on the edge of coming to a similar conclusion about the color theory of itsay, but i never would have been able to articulate it so well. this show has had such a profound impact on me and you put so many of the reasons for that (literally all of the scenes with hoon had me sobbing) into words. i really needed this, thank you
first of all please don’t apologize for rambling!! I absolutely LOVED hearing your thoughts on my video 💕 And wow, you’re totally right about the emotion disconnect and I wouldn’t have made that connection before about Teh’s mom vs. Oh-Aew’s parents. Super astute observation! But anyways thank you SO much for the feedback and this was genuinely so nice to read!
@@Pastellyn :O thank you so much for your response! i'm so glad you enjoyed reading my comment! really looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future, keep up the great work!
Wow okay, that just suddenly explains so many things. The fact that Oh Aew was so open about how he felt about Teh could be explained by how he came from a family that didn't put a lot of burden on him (whether it be in the form of studies or financial situation).
While in the conversation with Hoon, the first thing Teh said was how he was scared of what his mother will think of him. When someone grows up in an environment that expects a lot from you, you end up trying to show a perfect side of yourself to them all the time. In a place where homosexual relationships are looked down upon, acting on his feelings for Oh Aew was like a luxury that Teh could not afford like Oh Aew could.
I think it shouldn't be just qualified as "best thai BL" It's actually one of the best productions that I've ever seen, I'm a cinema lover and criticist, I analyze every detail on direction, sequency, symbolism, photography, interpretation and many other relevant points to call a movie/series a "masterpiece" and I Told Sunset About You, is one of them. It genuinely transmits you, everything without say unnecessary words, it"s portrayed beautifully poetic, it's like living in a dream, a dream where you wake up just in the edge of the feelings, and that's how it is fall in love, as a teenager, with so much pressure and emotions overpassed. This, is so accurate, also, most of LGB teenagers experience the same and feel very saturated and confussed dealing with the explossion that they feel inside specially when is your best friend the person you've fallen for, when you are a male and that's cultural seen as "incorrect" all the fear and pressure and frustration you can see in the eyes of both characters, but the love, caring, tension, it shows simultanealy. Also, but this is most for personal experience, I'm a bisexual men who had so much struggle accepting his own sexuality, I had a similar story with my ex best friend, what this show did to me is heal, heal every part that before when I was 17 I tought it was "bad, sick" this productions capture the purity of love, how the developement goes. A masterpiece.
I’m getting goosebumps. I wrote almost exactly this in a review for ITSAY. It’s my highest rated bl. I too think it’s not just a bl masterpiece but a cinematic masterpiece in its own rite.
People aren’t talking about this series enough for me 😭 but I’ll give it time
So true!! It deserves all the hype
But, is it really good??
I watched the teaser and it didn't call my attention, didn't convince me. It was kinda boring.
Do u recommend it to me? Will worth it?
@@JossuMel 1000% wort it for me, been rewatching in 3 times
everyone’s tastes are different and it may not appeal to you if you dislike coming-of-age type stories, but I’d give it a shot since it’s produced so well!
@@Pastellyn trueeee
"A pair of star-crossed lovers refused to accept their fate. Doomed romance meet I Told Sunset About You." Your comment relates theme song, Skyline. I like your analysis.
Okay, shit. As a film enthusiast and die hard fan of ITSAY, this video was absolutely divine. I don't think I can speak enough about not just the colour but every single aspect of this show. Boss Kuno is an absolute legend with a kind of artistic mind that is rare. The last time I felt so deeply about a film or series was 'call me by your name' as it too possessed this dreamy vibe with its mesmerising music and poetic quality. However ITSAY outdid it.
Kudos to you for making me miss this show like hell, all over again. My heart yearns for the season 2 but at the same time just wants to go back to rewatch and fully grasp the first season itself.
Thank you for this video. Looking forward to more of your deconstructions.
Wow, thank you so much!! I’m glad I did this amazing show justice with my review ❤️ I’m sure the second season will be worth the wait!
I don't know if you've seen the accompanying commentary/documentary series the director made. One thing he mentions specifically is that the moment when Teh put his head on his brother's shoulder wasn't in the script or the storyboard or the workshop. It was entirely spontaneous. The director was about to call cut, and then let it play out.
i’ve been looking for someone who could put all my thoughts and emotions into words and god am i so glad i found this video, you explained everything so beautifully. i really love this series a lot so thank you
Thank you so much!!
“we control fate and not the other way around.” i felt that. i legitimately get that.
This is so well articulated. Loved the analysis and completely agree. This is one of the best use of simple colours just to add a dimension to the character. Love the series and I won't stop talking about for a long time
Thanks for the compliment!! So happy that people enjoyed this show as much as I did :D
I think ITSAY captured Tay’s confusion and how he continued to hurt Oh Aew in a more human and beautiful shades of grey way, which I Promised You The Moon was unable to do.
This analysis spoke the unseen and subtle story of beyond the dialogue
Omg the way u used Ribs in the beginning 😭😭 it just fits the tone perfectly....
thank u 🥺🥺 I just knew I had to include a Lorde song it just made sense lol
"We control fate not the other way around." YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SUBSCRIBING FOR THIS ONE LINE.
Thank you so much for this analysis. I saw the colors but your perspective was like putting on glasses to see. A whole other video could be done for the use of music. The adaptation into various versions of the songs from the soundtrack was brilliant. But my favorite use is the solo piano piece used in episode 3 in the gathering room as the others go off to their rooms. First, Teh is left with Philip as his roommate, then is alone, then Oh-Aew joins him, there are shared moments, then Bas walks in. The accents and tensions of the music match perfectly with the scene.
thank you so much!! unfortunately I know next to nothing about sound design but heres to hoping someone more knowledgeable than me will talk about the use of music in ITSAY because it is indeed amazing.
omg me too! the piano when they were choosing rooms!
I heard that as well! It starts lighter with some discordant tones when Teh realises they would be sharing beds and when Aew picked Bas it kicked up the volume and the discordant tones increased becoming a cacophony of noise that isn't music. This isn't within his control it's the absolute loss of control. It's meant to be emotional turmoil and, in the case of Teh, even stronger because he is still trying to deny how he feels and still trying to control what happens( which is very important to him). It matches the movement which is aimless and jarring when he is left on his own (and in his head). The rasp of him dragging his hand over the footstool is trying to express his feelings and I think its interesting that is the only sound anyone else can hear and on its own it would grate in the ears. Tbh I don't think this was meant to be considered music but as part of the soundscape. Music is used through the show but it it's usually in balance with whats happening.
That's so good. i can't stop crying.
thank you!!!
I love this bl sm , i've quite watched a lot of bls till date but the day i binged watched itsay , it totally stood out for me. I was so invested and each episode was captivating. the actors did a great job , the cinematography, music, theme , locations, aesthetics, small details, teenage love, coming of age, pain, confusion, desperation, love, friendship and that feeling of loosing someone, everything was done so beautifully that it almost near crazy. it's been past a year when i first watched this drama and to this date I always have it on my top of list. the emotions and watching experience i went through was totally new and magical. it all felt hitting home. i related to a lot of parts and cried my eyes out for so hours after watching some scenes. Teh and Oh-aew are my favourites fs. talking about it the problem with both Teh and Oh-Aew is that they don't stick together. The moment something happens they switch off communication, cut cords, ignore each other completely. But they can't let go of each other. They keep thinking about each other. But both can't happen simultaneously, you either care or you don't and their conflict is that they do care but are forced to show that they don't. and i love this part about the drama because this is realistic and often happens bw people irl. i like how they portrayed everything , honestly i still have sm to talk , like the sound , few particular scenes , the story , and other characters like bas , teh's brother etc who actually made the show even more perfect with their respective roles but by ending it here id like to say this drama is a real masterpiece!
finally someone explaining itsay's colour theory in such a beautiful way. I will be watching this video every day while waiti g for part 2, it's incredible. thank you for making it.
I still can't properly pronounce Oh-Aew's name.
Thank you Pastellyn for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge and view on this work of art. When I watched the trailer for this series it immediately captured my interest and I recall saying to myself: I think this is going to break my heart.
I think this production took an enormous amount of creative energy from more than just the cast. The other major part of this story was its setting. Phuket was a beautiful silent partner that helped maintain the spell this story cast.
Wow, is my best and lamest word to describe your analysis. I'm so glad it impressed you so that you could share this perspective. I think talking about some of what was portrayed and shown in this production, and the follow-on documentary episodes, really helped better understand much of the detail that couldn't be absorbed.
I'm so glad to see they've already gone ahead with the next season and that we won't have to wait long for it. I hope the passionate journey this first season gave us can be shifted to a new chapter in their story and that the outstanding supporting cast, Tarn and Bas in particular, also have significant roles.
I'm honestly relieved that I'm not the only one who struggled with pronouncing Oh-Aew! And you're absolutely right about Phuket being almost a character in itself, I couldn't have said it better myself-- and thank you for the feedback. I'm happy you enjoyed my analysis! I hope season 2 in 2021 will be worth the wait as well 😊
This really needs more views! The analysis was worded very smoothly and the quality overall is really good!
Thank you! ☺️
Omg, my brain just exploded. The way you perfectly explained the symbolisms of color red and blue really blow my mind, i would never have realized all of those details by myself. You are a genius. This is an amazing analysis, thank you so much for making me love this series 1000x more.
Aaskfjdka I don't know if I'm a genius, but thank you so much for the compliment! I'm glad my analysis helped you view the series in a new light ❤️
Honestly, I haven’t watched this series but after watching your analysis I will watch all the episodes. The reason I watch you is because you give a good review, a detailed one on the shows that you’ve watched and aesthetically well done. Thank you.
Now i just can't wait to see how the production team will tackle the depiction of teh-oh aew's romance in their college days. We've seen many BLs used this trope and recycled it a million times, but i believe ITSAY part 2 will serve their fresh and immaculate take of it.
Thank you for you lovely analysis, i'll be waiting for your next one in the part 2!
I feel the same way lol, I can’t wait for 2021 and basically trust the ITSAY writers with my life now-thanks for watching my video!
Pastellyn, You are something else. You have highlighted Sun Mork in DBK, I told Sunset about you and 3 will be Free. Just so happens that these are three recent series that have blown my mind., and I revisit quite frequently (But I would have to include Gaya si pelikula (Like in the Movies) in this list. What you also mention are the colour pallets used in # Will be Free ( shades of dark red and dull lighting in a noir-ish style), and in I Told Sunset about You( with slightly faded yellow, cream and earth tones) rooting the story in that small-town Chinese-Thai community
The two Chinese characters on Teh’s maroon t-shirt is “moon”. Moon usually represents heart or love as with the song, “The Moon Represents My Heart”.
ITSAY was a masterpiece.... A piece of art.... Something which no other BL accomplished or atleast even tried to accomplish.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, I am amazed by this review!! As somewhat of a literary analysis nerd, I love diving into symbolism and dissecting characters, though I find this harder to do for shows and movies when much of the messages or visual rather than directly written out. I recognized the colors were an important aspect of the show, yet you gave me a whole new mind blowing perspective to it. Great work!! I especially love how at the end you mention it's like a rebirth, a new beginning. That message seems to carry over from the sunset too: the sun is setting on their past worries and tomorrow brings a new horizon. Lovely show now excuse me as I sob a river :')
aaaaa thank you so much!! Your comment about the sunset being representative of a new beginning is spot on and I’m so glad you enjoyed my review!
Thank you for this, this series really deserves eloquent and articulate analysis essay videos like this. I wrote my own essay for itsay but I dont have the tools nor the time to turn it into an essay video. However your video really expressed everything I wanted to, so thank you so much.
Wow the way you explain it so well, I didn't know about all of that❤️❤️ this is the best Bl series I've ever watched till date, everytime I rewatch it I still feel all the emotions I felt the first time. So beautiful.
Tae's character is me, I relate so much and I understand him so well although he made me cry so much Omg!
i really love this analysis!
i remember watching project s: side by side and had thought of a resemblance of it with itsay because of the color symbolism (like i thought gym just likes pink but it turned out he wears pink bc it's his mother's fav and wearing pink makes him an indiction of being his son), the character development (from being unable to tie a shoelace, shave, and even open up a biscuit until gym can finally do it after days), and specially, the beautiful shots. until i've realized p'boss kuno was also the director of that series! p'boss really produces magic.
well, i'm just stressing how it was really planned wonderfully by the director and the team, and how bkpp remarkably portrayed the characters that made it ✨ a masterpiece ✨
ITSAY is one of the most beautiful and excellent examples of the use of colour theory in shows and their characters.
I understood the general meanings behind the use of colours in ITSAY but your minute explanation of all the colours and their motives really sheds a new light on the show for me , i am in awe 😮
I loved ITSAY already , but i love it more now .
It is definitely one of the best show i have ever watched . I have rewatched it a couple times already but after watching your video i am super tempted to watch it again 😅
.
As usual you did a great job .❤✨
Thank you for the analysis. I did watch this until I’ve finished watching this drama.This drama set the new precedent for all BLs. So many onions were cut. I am anxiously waiting for the second chapter. ❤️🇨🇦
stunning video and analysis. it makes me want to watch the series again from a lens of colour theory and emotion eve though I've spent more time than I have on this series already! 😅
😂 I feel you! I've also watched this show way too many times. I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
literally thank you for this T___T everyday i think about itsay, think about the scenes, think about the use of color. for the longest time, ever since i finished the show, i'd try to explain to myself how color was used and personal theories/explanations of scenes, just because i love how thoughtful and deep the show actually is and deconstructing it has become a hobby of mine at this point. ngl, i was this close to making my own youtube video like this because i truly wanted to share my ideas. but you so wonderfully summarize and articulate my thoughts, and i can't thank you enough for that
First of all, thank you so much and I'm so happy this video resonated with you!! Don't let me stop you from making your own video though-- your perspective matters!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this kind and beautiful analysis of this show. This is the best series and it deserves appreciation and love. There's a sense of tenderness in this show and you have emulated it perfectly in your review.
I love this analysis so much, thank you!
Sad that there are no subtitles. 😢 🇧🇷
this was such a beautiful and well crafted analysis, thank you so much for making this video
damn i’m crying! u just made me love this series more😭😭😭😭😭 now i have to rewatch it
I love your analysis 😍 I just joined this cult a week ago and i'm hooked.. You didn't mention about coconut though.. It's all over the series..
The beach scene at the beginning is truly my favourite ❤
I am happy that i can finally watch your video now that I've seen the show! Long comment incoming, sorry haha
The color thing is super interesting and I absolutely love your analysis, as always. I need people like you because I never notice those things. :")
Personally, I can understand why people would be mad at Teh, he also did frustrated me from times to times, but I think he was well written enough so that it's somewhat easy to understand his feelings and his actions. Or maybe I just relate to him haha. I did not like that he kept unintentionally hurting oh-aew (the guy was so soft and sweet, he always looked like a kicked puppy), but his character makes sense. First, they are teenagers, and oh-aew really comes and shatters what teh thought he knew about himself. He clearly goes through an identity crisis and a self discovery journey, with all his feelings towards oh-aew, along with the pressure of him wanting to make his mom proud. He finds it scary to have feelings for his guy friend, and he doesn't know how to handle them. I think itsay handled his character really well, even if sometimes i wanted to shake him a little (Especially when he made oh-aew cry, my heart felt for him). When not well written, these kind of characters can come off as annoying (in my opinion), but i think teh just felt really human. I think he just needed time to process his feelings and accept himself.
Also yes, I was scared at first that they would ruin Tarn, but no, they called me clown and made her probably the best female character I have seen in a bl.
You’re so right about Teh!! I feel like in most instances I would end up disliking his character, but because of the writers’ dedication to making him feel real, I sympathized with Teh as he struggled through his identity crisis. That’s a big part of what makes ITSAY genius, in my opinion: the characters feel like actual teenagers. (And no worries about long comments, I love reading them!) Glad you enjoyed this video!
What a terrific analysis of this wonderful show, thank you.
You captured everything that I feel for this show!! It’s my number one favorite show of 2020. It was magnificent to me. And you described it with perfection. I’m so glad that I found your channel! I will be an Avid fan from now on! Love it!!! Thankyou 🤩😍
Thank you so much for sharing us your analysis. I was looking for an analysis of ITSAY because I literally fell in love with this series, which is just one of the most amazing and beautiful series I had ever seen. A real masterpiece. I knew that I had missed a lot of details that are worth seeing so, sincerely, thank you so much!!
Your analysis is really good.. well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 covered the whole series in a perfect length of vdo.
This was such a thoughtful and beautiful analysis 😭😭😭
Nice work, very well done analysis. brilliant. thank you.
btw in the documentary the director mentioned that the scene when Hoon told Teh to not wake the mother, but still cuddled his head, was the actor's improvisation. as a result the award of the best big brother ever goes to Hoon. :) as usual melodrama is not just about love, it's always about family, it's not just two lovers, it's their environment (even though we love to think we are so independent): Oh-aew has supportive parents, Teh has a mother who wants him to conform to norms, to blend in.
overall: I love the series - it's one of the best screenplays I've come across for ages. and beautifully executed in many ways.
I had no idea that Hoon’s dialogue was improvised in that one scene- it makes me love him even more 😭 I’m happy you enjoyed my review! Here’s to hoping for an equally brilliant sequel in 2021.
@@Pastellyn not all dialogue, just a sentence but still, it was a great addition. Althought my favourite sentence in their exchange is "you are a crybaby TOO", so funny. Overall, I wish I had a brother like that XD
@@Pastellyn I just recalled what I wanted to tell you re: colour analysis. Yin/yang. Main characters have black/white combo shirts twice. As the series and it's symbolic is vastly inspired by Chinese culture it gives an important meaning: they are two sides of the same coin. And Teh (black) is passive in many respects, like yin, while Oh-aew is yang, strong and initiating (he may look and behave like a seductive siren but he is much stronger than Teh).
I wish I had a brother like Hoon, too! And what a cool interpretation of the show's color scheme, I never even considered Yin/Yang dynamics. That could also explain why red/blue are so common as red is often associated with fire (strength) and water (passivity).
@@Pastellyn the set designers even took the beta fish of Oh-aew into consideration: one is blue, one is red. Both males, of course. Actually this detail was one of my favourites.
i genuinely think this would be a hit if it were put on netflix.
thank you so much for this analysis! ill be watching itsay with this color theory in mind
I love your video! ITSAY is cinematic gold! Incredibly beautiful story! Beautiful filmed and powerful acting. It has stayed in my mind long after my first viewing.
LOVE LOVE LOVEEE Everything Every single words from this analysis!!! 100% authentic and 100% correct!!!! Loveeeee
wow that's an impressive review and analysis, thank you!
Thanks so much for that analysis.......this series made me think so much, and -- not being a cinema buff -- I didn't have the right vocabulary to discuss it with anyone. I really enjoyed/appreciated your careful thought. "Awe-inspiring. Devastating. Uplifting." All at once. You hit it right on the head.
Thank you so much. I hope to watch a new video about 2nd part of “I told sunset about you”.
Amazing video, love the Analysis 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I still think this is the best BL ...up till now
This is a wonderful analysis. It brings back to me all the emotions of watching ITSAY (which I haven't picked up in a couple of months.) The only thing I would suggest is an analysis of the musical choices in ITSAY -- the use of piano and choral versions of the main sound themes. (The "confession" scene is fantastic, from that PoV.) That would be a great complement to your visual analysis.
I accidentally came across your video after having watched the series for literally 100 times. Thank you for such a beautiful, thorough, capturing analysis of the series. Now I think I’ve seen everything about I told Sunset About You. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you!!
it's one of my fav thai BL for so many reasons and this video of yours made me love it more.
You did an awesome job on this analysis!!!
When you started to play ribs by lorde I knew this analysis is going to tear me apart
Andddd it did
Great analysis and tribute to a beautiful production.
this video is beautiful. thank you for sharing your love for this amazing series ❤
thank you so much!!
Teh at the final scene is wearing the same shirt Oh Aew wore at the beach when he asked teh when did he started liking him I thought that was pretty cool. Amazing video❤️❤️❤️
omg thank you for making this video💗
thank you for watching it! 💕
To be honest I have very mixed feelings about the BL genre as a whole, but this show is a masterpiece and it feels to be a disservice to it's quality to limit it to being simply a BL show (like some reviewers do from what I've seen). It feels like a coming-of-age cult classic and you summarise my feelings on this show completely. I'm excited for season 2, and it's really set the bar high for shows about teenage romance and BL shows as a whole.
I share the same opinion as you- as an lgbt person myself, it rubs me the wrong way when Asian shows/movies with any form of representation are automatically categorized as “BL” as the BL genre tends to be ... problematic, to put it gently. Hopefully, ITSAY’s success will open a lot of doors for more positive representation in Thailand and in BLs. Thanks for watching!
I like your voice and your review is the best and full of details.
I just want to add a very small note that red is a very culturally-imbued colour in Chinese society. It represents culture and perhaps in this show also pressure from tradition.
Absolutely!! The color red is especially pertinent considering Teh and Oh’s backgrounds in Chinese opera/theatre.
This video is absolutely brilliant! I kept hearing people talk about the colors in ITSAY and how red represents Oh-Aew and blue represents Teh, but that never felt right to me. I could tell there was something more but couldn't pin it down. Your explanation of the colors opened up a whole new understanding of this show and now I need to go watch it again!
Thank you so much for what you are doing! I just discovered your channel yesterday and went and binged all of your videos. I can't get over how deep and intelligent your videos are and I'm so excited to see your channel continue to grow! Congratulations on 500 subs!
This made my day--thank you for your support!!
You incorprating ribs in the video gave me chills
ribs and itsay?! in one video?!?! omg perfection
Thank you for such a well thought-out and brilliant analysis. I've been watching BL series for many years now and this is certainly the best I've seen so far. I'd give honorable mentions to a series from Taiwan called: History 3 Trapped. Another excellent series.
And thank you for watching my video, the feedback is greatly appreciated! I also love Trapped and am thinking about making a video about it later on!
Damn. We must waiting so long to see ss2
great video, thank you sm !
Thank you for your explanation ☺️
glad you enjoyed it!
I need a full version of the ribs intro
Thank you so much ❤️
love this analysis 😘
thank u!!
Your analysis and script was written as beautifully as the series!!! Thank you for putting my emotions (that were all over the place after watching this series) into words and organizing them in an orderly manner. I’m really crying my heart out all over again now thanks to you hahaha
Ps. I’m really not good with words/writing lol (how did you get so good at writing tho?? Any tips? ;w;)
Thank you so much!! As for writing tips: Before I really start writing my script, I usually brainstorm and create bullet points of my main ideas. I've found that this really helps me simplify and organize my thoughts. No pressure, writing takes practice, time and hard work! As with any skill, the more you write, the easier it gets. Best of luck!
@@Pastellyn awww thanks for those tips! i guess I see why I suck at this, I've only ever written for academic purposes, never done creative writing before
PLEASE MAKE IT MORE!!!!!!!
IDK so many people have a problem with Teh and how he reacts but Idk why I get it. I think because so many people focus on how he hurts Oh-Aew they forget that in doing so he also hurts himself. Because he's unable to reconcile how he feels and what's "expected" of him he ends up hurting Oh and simultaneously hurting himself. Rejecting Oh causes Teh way more pain than he thought it would because without Oh he finally realizes how much he cares about him. 😢
Thank you so much for this detailed analysis of this masterpiece. You truly opened my eyes about how well made this series is. Could I use the info told in this video to do a powerpoint presentation for an exam at uni? I would obviously cite your video in my bibliography.
Yes, of course! I hope your presentation goes well!
@@Pastellyn Thank you so much! You're amazing and talented, keep going 🤧❣️
At Oh's room, there are two battle-fish, probably male, and they are in two different tanks. One is blue and one is red.
P.S. I have watched ITSAY three times. As for Part two, it is not a cinematic masterpiece, but it is still better than average BL TV dramas.
Came back to watch this after a year. I was hoping if you can do an analysis to I Promise You The Moon cause I have mix feelings on the sequel.
Love your analysis! ❤ Next time, put non-copyright songs so you can monetize your videos when you get more subscribers and views, you deserve it :))
And guess what show cleaned up big time at the Yniverse Awards?
HOW CAN YOU VIEW THE STORY THAT WAY?! FROM THE COLORS, SYMBOLISMS, ETC.
btw I just watch and try to understand the story. Hahahaha well we need more from you. I'm amazed. 👏
Thank you!! This made me laugh 😂 It definitely takes a lot of time and hard work (and a LOT of re-watching) in order to come up with analysis videos like these!
Hi from Hong Kong. What a phenomenal analysis video! As an English literature student, I love symbols and motifs. Your analysis is so coooool.
I was so lucky as I could watch it at a cinema in Hong Kong as a part of the Asian Film Festival. It should be watched at a cinema.
I also want to mention that, in the picture drawn by the girl, the man has a purple hibiscus in his pocket. The girl hopes that she is in his heart and the answer she plans to give is a YES.
Finally, have you watched season 2? Some people criticize it and I am not sure if I should watch it. What do you think about season 2?
Thank you very much for reading my message.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and I love your observation about the flower! I wish I could have seen ITSAY on the big screen, I’m jealous 😂
As for season two, I have mixed feelings- all I can say is it’s definitely different from season one. People are pretty divided about it, so I’d suggest watching it yourself to draw your own conclusions. I hope I can make a video about season two soon-Thanks again for watching!
Hiii!!! When will you do one on I Promised You The Moon? Huehuehue.
I'm actually just waiting for you to contrast sunflowers and hibiscus
Best thai BL. Period
My thought process watching Teh sacrifice his guaranteed spot at university: IMO, he didn’t actually do it for his friend or out of love. He did it because he didn’t trust Oh-Aew. At least not on a conscious level. He didn’t actually believe in him that he could still achieve his dream. Which makes the sacrifice even more bitter for Oh-Aew. He wanted Teh to see him for who he was and what he could accomplish in his way, but Teh’s stubbornness wouldn’t allow it.
I suppose that fits the blue scheme with Teh. He refuses his feelings, which gives him a warped image of Oh-Aew. It’s not until the end when he has accepted both him, and his university situation, that he is able to see everything clear with the vivid sunset and be ready to move forward and grow as his own person.
Interesting! Looking back I kind of see Teh's decision as him guilt-tripping himself; reflecting on his treatment of Oh, he convinced himself he didn't deserve the scholarship. But I can totally see your interpretation working, too!
Quick Question, Do you study Film Studies or something because this is a really good analysis!

I'm flattered! No, I'm not currently studying film but I do want to pursue screenwriting in the future!

Why do I watch every series u make a video about?

How many episodes does this series have?
Five- though they’re each about an hour long so it seems longer than it actually is.
