BK+PP

I'm finally done watching the BKPP project. I watched the special and the documentary.

Technical part: I can't deny that ITSAY was much better. P'Boss' vision is perfect. The details, the position of the camera, the angle of the actors. IPYTM wasn't bad on the technical side, but I found it a little more “simple” for what the story is. I identify more with P’Boss style as I also like the long shots over too many cuts. I think sometimes if you “break” too much, it is never with the same emotion.

Plot: For people who said the story is bad, I bring news... Clearly, the plot still features BKPP. We know that a lot of things actually happened, and real-life is not a Disney tale. Even if you love someone, you can have a crush on someone else (I'm not saying I accept to cheat on others), but what Teh felt there was crush/horniness. The break-up was necessary so that Oh-aew could also learn to love himself. Love yourself so that you don't depend on the love of others.

Another thing was to show the importance of how we learn from our mistakes. Teh had a dream and he couldn't understand how other people gave up on a dream easily. Teh was angry, sad, hurt, but when it happened to him, everything changed and he understood. Nothing like growing up.

Oh-aew needed to find himself. I still don't know if Marketing/Advertising is going to be something forever, but that's where he found himself the most. I also need to add that Oh-aew has the best friends and there is no such thing as him being better than Teh as a person, but each one has a way of expressing themselves differently.

Teh had a hard time understanding what he's feeling. And that's why he had difficulties in expressing himself. One thing I found extremely important was for them to recognize that they need to communicate. I see this in BLs and in real life, a lot would be avoided if people communicated more.

Overall, yes real life sucks, but I'm happy with the way the show ended and I enjoyed the second season.

And both parts have an amazing soundtrack. I’m spending hours listening to it. I loved their sweet honey voices, and when they sing together, it is beautiful.

Didn’t know about Nadao Bangkok, but I’m glad I had the chance to watch a project from them. Can’t wait for more.

this series had me SOBBING after every single episode

Ok i don't even know how to start.
I watched itsay months ago and it left me extremelly emotional. I grew a huge connection w the lead actors, krit and billkin, these two won me and my entire soul, their acting is out of this world i've never seen any other series that had so many feelings portrayed in every single second.
I just love SO MUCH how the director uses their amzaning acting habilities, taking longer scenes that have no lines, just the character's face, and that scene says even more than a scene with lines, you can see every detail every feeling everything can be portrayed and you get to understand exactly what every character is feeling.
Like for real its so crazy how every. single. detail. of both itsay and ipytm counts. They've thought absolutely every milissecond of this series. The references to itsay AND DEAR MOTHER OF GOD WHEN THE LAST SCENE OF ITSAY SHOWED UP IN THE LAST EPISODE OF IPYTM YALL HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW FREAKING MUCH I CRIED AND MY HEART WENT INSANE i'm so sorry i really don't know what these series have done to me.
i was there when ipytm was released and still i only finished it today. It took me months to watch it bc i wanted to feel every episode in the same way i felt itsay episodes, i can relate to so many parts of the characters' lives and that just messes with my feelings in a crazy way that i don't even understand myself.
And what to talk about the mf osts i know every single one, both lead actores are AMAZING singers too and i just love them so freaking much i stil can't believe they're even real.
Every character is important every line is important every piece of clothes they've worn has a meaning behind it and UGH PERFECTION
Both series are masterpieces, more than masterpieces they're art. its art in its purest way, and i'll definetely carry teh and oh aew's love story in my heart forever. Thank you so much for everyone who were part of the making of itsay and ipytm, both just changed my life for good istg ive never felt this way through anything else it fees weird but good i love it here
anyways that's it this is a mess but that's how my brain works when it comes to these series.
lots of love from Helo <3

Just as good as part 1

This is part 2 of 'i told sunset about you'. It is about Teh and Oh-aew's four years in different universities in Bangkok, the adjustments to their new lives and how they overcome the challenges in their love for each other.

Although part 2 has a different director, as my headline says, it is as good as part 1 to me. We see a more mature Teh and Oh-aew here whether it is their appearances, their thinking or the way they handled matters. In fact, I really like the more mature Teh because of his longer hair and bangs which give him a more charming and handsome look.

Their chemistry and acting were just as good as part 1. I didn't see any awkwardness at all. The rest of the cast was equally good. I have to specially comment that the kissing between Teh and his senior Jai in the acting studio was really good, wow, like there was really passion in the kiss and not just closed lips touching in many many normal dramas. Also, when Teh was a backstage staff in one of the plays, he told Oh-aew who was in the audience seat, that if he wanted to see Teh on stage, he had to close his eyes (after one particular scene), count to ten, then open his eyes and he would be able to see Teh on stage. (This is actually between scenes when backstage staff move props on the stage). Oh-aew did as he was told and when he opened his eyes, Teh was there waving excitedly at him from the stage, in total darkness and only Oh-aew could see him. Just the two of them could see each other, nobody else could. I thought that was a really romantic idea by the director. It was so funny yet so sweet.
Throughout the entire drama, I see that the director put a lot of thought in each scene. There was meaning in every scene, (but they have to when it is only 5 episodes). Every episode and scene counts. There was no filler scenes or scenes which were thought unnecessary. It was a well-done and well thought-out drama.

Basically, I do not have any negative remarks to make about this drama. I enjoyed it thoroughly, there was never a dull moment, I looked forward to every episode and wanted more of it to the point that I couldn't bear to finish watching the series.

I also watched the documentaries of both parts. From the interviews of the directors and main leads to the rehearsals, re-shooting of certain scenes, I could see how much effort and hard work were put into making the two dramas (especially the underwater kissing scene and the beach cuddling in part 1) and they really made me appreciate both dramas more. Also with the explanations of the more significant scenes like why they have to shoot them this way, why the characters did what they did, etc. by the directors, I think they help enhanced understanding and appreciation of the scenes if I were to re-watch the dramas in future.

Stop making Teh the villan...

Everyone keeps making Teh out to be the issue and i am going to try and explain his character and what i have seen and what i think people are missing. The way Billkin is playing this character is perfect. People are forgetting this is a coming of age story. So below i will try and break it up into the different episodes as we are only up to episode 3 so far.

EPISODE 2-
Teh is completely lost, because he is a hypersensitive character and nothing is going according to his plans. Teh explains he is feeling this way to Oh Aew after his break down he is feeling lost as everything and everyone is changing.

Khim is now a flight attendant. Tom has left and Jai is the only one still around out of his friends. Oh Aew is changing, dropping out of the course and getting a tattoo. Teh doesn’t like change.

EPISODE 3-
You can clearly see in this episode that Teh loves Oh Aew and is feeling a disconnect which he trys to make up for by wearing red again ( Oh Aews colour). These are the little nuances that i think people are missing!! I personally love when filmmakers use color palettes to reflect a characters emotions. This series is so beautifully done.

Teh wants to be like Jai he doesn’t have feelings for him or like him in that way. He literally wants to be him, he thinks that Jai has everything together while Teh he feeling so lost.

Now on to Oh Aew and Teh, they lack communication. To be honest alot of that is Oh Aew. Oh Aew not telling Teh he is lonely in EPISODE 1.

●Not telling Teh that he wanted `him to stay with him and not hang out with his friends after the play, instead he encouraged him to go. When clearly that wasn't what Oh wanted.
●Not telling Teh he made a decision about changing courses until after he made the decision.

Which i saw alot of people defending Oh Aew saying it's his life and yes it is! but people are forgetting that Teh is a big part of Oh Aews life. People are forgetting that Teh gave up his spot in the university for Oh so to not be told and let in on what Oh was feeling would have been a slap in the face for Teh.

I think people need to stop misunderstanding the character of Teh. I have noticed alot of people love Oh Aew, but are completely disregarding Oh's flaws.

THEIR FIRST TIME......
With Teh not remembering his first time with Oh I believe it's more to do with his inability at the time to reconcile old Oh with new Oh.

I was asked this question about Teh, by a friend-Did Teh go into the pool before because their first time was in the water?

Water in media is usually a sign change is coming so i think it was symbolic in a lot of ways. But I think the fact that they had their first time in the sea was part of that. It's also why them being cast in the same blue hue was important I think.

Teh has always been an overachiever and is always trying to prove himself to people. moving from a small area to a large city with different people can affect oneself.

I think this script is a masterpiece. I’m not disappointed at all on the direction it is taking and I think these troubles are necessary for this story.
Also, they referenced Wong Kar-Wai on this episode, the master of visual storytelling about relationships. I’m loving this season so much!!!

It’s always you in the end….I guess

Before I get into this I feel like many will not like my thoughts on this review but please remember that this is just my opinion. I also will be comparing this to ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ because this is its 2nd season.

General:
I was very excited about this show and I even re-watched ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ to get into the storyline again. I still questioned it because I was wondering how can this show live up to what the first season set up. Many people called the first season a masterpiece. Which when you have reached the top the only way left to go is down or stay stable. Which to say the least this drama went down in some ways.

Characters:
What I loved about ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ was the characters and the storyline. I felt that I could see both of the character’s perspectives while watching the drama. The storyline of struggling with your identity and with this also taking place during high school I related to.

I started the first episode of ‘I Promised You The Moon’ and with Oh-Aew’s character I felt an immediate disconnect. I still justify that as I’m not in college and I most likely won’t go into college with a relationship. Honestly, I know some people can relate to how Oh-aew was feeling at this time (lonely, homesick, etc) and some can even relate to him later on. I just personally can’t and the same goes with Teh’s character. Just because I can’t relate to the characters doesn’t make this series bad although but I still thought I would point it out.

The characters (Oh-aew and Teh) changed yet they didn’t change. As I said with my disconnect section they have changed slightly which in a way I expected. Oh-aew changed his style, friend group, and interest but the same thing could be said about Teh. They also became more career-based which is understandable with them being college students now. Which based on the first two episodes if I didn’t know where it was going. I thought the story could go in the direction of them growing from what they were in ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ which leads them to distance themselves from each other. This honestly seems very realistic (to me personally) as only 2-5% of high school relationships last throughout college. Their decision-making as to when it came to their relationship was what didn’t change to me. Their relationship didn’t grow either even though both characters seemed like they wanted to stay in this relationship but it had seemed like they had decided to put no real effort into it.

‘I Told The Sunset About You’ was mainly about Teh and starting with the first episode of ‘I Promised You The Moon’ it did seem like we were going to focus on Oh-aew now. As you got into the show it became Teh again who became the center. I don’t hate Teh’s character but yes I do agree that what he did was wrong.

Plot:
This is what the major fall for me is, the plot. I’m not here to say the whole relationship between the characters is fake/something that would never happen as some people may have gone through similar situations. I am here to say that they took on too many points they wanted to make in a short five-episode drama that takes place over 4-5 years.
Points they tried to make:
-Being in a new city and not knowing anyone (Homesick/lonely can be added to this)
-How the main characters relationship has changed know they are busy all the time
-The struggles of being an actor and the toxic standards the entertainment industry holds
-Questioning the future and questioning if this is the major you want
-Making the decision between if you are going to be more career-based or relationship-based
They also tried to bring in some more plot points but these were the main ones I had noticed.

Which even in ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ took place over years as we saw them as kids and now they were high schoolers.Which in my opinion ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ was more cohesive than this as we had only one main time skip. Then we started following them and watching them grow as characters.

This season fell through in certain ways because of the multiple time skips. I don’t hate time skips but sometimes they are a huge hit or miss. This was a miss honestly. They would start to branch out into these tropics or they would start to elaborate on these subjects and then time skip. At the end of the time skip, they would be completely over it (Mainly Oh-aew would be and Teh was halfway over it) and it wasn’t brought up again maybe only once or twice more it was brought up (Which mainly Teh would bring them up again).

They also tried to carry out YEARS of their life so we never really saw them grow as a character. Their changes/’growth’ would come out of nowhere as when we would go to the next year so they had changed as characters.

Honestly, by the end of the 3rd episode, I just wanted them to be broken up and then see them as people who grew from that relationship now that have their own lives. Which I thought that must be the way it’s going to go right? There is no other possible way for them to go besides breaking up and maybe becoming friends in the future (maybe) right? Wrong, because when do they not end up together in the end?

Other details:
Even though I have been talking about this very negatively there are many positives to this drama. They all are minor things to me but maybe much more important to other people. Things like the acting, music, and cinematography were impressive plus good quality. There were some amazing shots during these five episodes. The neon/city colors were also so vibrant and especially during the nighttime scenes.

Conclusion:
Honestly, I think I generally as a season it’s not a terrible thing I have seen. I think as a sequel to ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ it’s less than desirable. I mainly gave it the rating I did because of the last episode and I debated for half a day if this was 7.9 or 8 stars. I ended up giving it 8 stars out of pure attachment.

If you are reading this and you haven’t watched it, I don’t know if could say to go watch this or not. I feel like you should read up on it and then make your decision. This second season obviously has some people who are going to like this and some who aren’t. I would say I personally fall into the middle latter of this.

In the end, this is the end to a series that I will never forget and I think a lot of people may feel the same way.

cativante e bem construída

Você tem que no mínimo ser extremamente amargurado ou ter se magoado demais na sua vida para poder não achar essa historia boa. Como todas as series a historia tem seus pontos altos, mornos e baixos, mas a execução foi perfeita. Você consegue se sentir em casa e a atuação é tão boa que você VIVE a serie. Não tinha como acabar mais ou menos, as alternativas de final foram muito bem traçadas. É uma serie que vai te cativar do começo ao fim, essa temporada foi incrível, acho que foi o ponto alto do meu ano, a espera realmente valeu a pena. Essa serie é revigorante, é uma historia muito bem construída, é nítido. A ost é PERFEITA, sem espaço para discussões sobre a ost. É claro que eu vou voltar e assistir outras vezes. A serie é ótima em um todo, realmente estabeleceu um padrão que pode ser seguido. Se você é amargurado (a,e) demais essa serie não é para você. Uma pena já ter terminado, eu adorei passar essas semanas com essa serie, espero ver os atores em mais trabalhos.

Disappointed

I guess if this was shown as a new series with new characters den it cud have been a better watch. Bt it did not do justice to itsay. Hence calling it a season 2 of itsay feels wrong. Really rushed and a very plain plot. Cud have explored so much more. Never have a series disappointed me dis much. I mean comeon a person who left his dream college i dnt think will stoop dis low. Its not just kissing someone. Its wat happened after dat. Cunningly going back and trying to kiss the person u cheated just moments back. Promising something den repeating same mistakes again and again. Where does it stop. Wen vil u learn. How will u trust some1 like dis again. Director seriously made Teh a villian in BL world. I am just disappointed. Acting and music was good. No doubt. Bt the story just did not live up the hype. Very strange character development of both the leads. Teh tries really hard not to grow up and Oh tries hard to just forgive forgive forgive. Wat should i take home with me after dis series. Wat did it teach me. Cheaters remain cheaters? It wud have been better if dis series taught us how not to choose our toxic traits. So dat next time wen someone out der thinks about cheating dey remember dis series and stop. And not remember dis series and continue thinking i'll feel empty later in my life, regret, apologize and get back together.

Another Achievement for Thailand

It's taken me several days to really process I Promised You the Moon enough to write a review, but here it is.
IPYTM has a different feel than ITSAY. ITSAY is about what it is to fall in love; IPYTM talks about what it means to *stay* in love. In a way, this is good. I Promised You the Moon asks the questions, "What happens after they (literally) walk off into the sunset? What happens when their plans change? What happens when it's harder to spend time together? What happens when they move in different circles, go to different schools, want different things?" I liked this about the drama. However, given its different feel, it's unsurprising that some fans were very put off by it; when the first part and the second part are that different, friction is to be expected.

I found IPYTM's realism to be the most refreshing part of the production, and I loved what it had to say. Rather than going the shiny-happy K-Drama route, where the couple falls in love to pieces and makes all kinds of outlandish promises that are never really examined, this drama really looked at what it takes to make and be in a relationship, how it has pitfalls, and how no one is perfect - expecting rainbows is a recipe for disaster. I stand by what I've said about both parts, as well: their true power lies in the fact that you do not really *watch* the dramas, but rather, feel them. You'd never think a simple coming-of-age story would pack quite so much punch, but it's enough to bowl you over. I cried almost nonstop through the final episode. I've watched a lot of TV in my life, and no show has ever hit me quite this hard. That in itself, I think, is an achievement and a tribute to how well it was written, directed, and acted. In that respect, the ten episodes together are  just a next-level masterpiece.

While there was a lot to like, for me, there were a few issues with IPYTM that made it somewhat inferior to ITSAY:
1. Timeline. To some extent, I understand how this made things more difficult, and how the production had to work with what they were allowed. But it did create some disconnect. If they'd had two or three more episodes, the drama would have flowed much better. That would have made more room Billkin and PP Kritt to share the screen; anything they do together is magical. They have a very special trust between them that just makes for wonderful TV, no matter how they're interacting onscreen. A lot of that was sacrificed to tell the story, which was a loss.

2. Subtletly. One of the things I absolutely loved about ITSAY was its subtlety. Sometimes what Teh and Oh said with their body language and eyes was very different from the actual words they were saying. I loved how P'Boss used touch in particular to communicate their emotions, rather than saying things outright or using sexually suggestive innuendo. It wasn't about how much they were "hot" for each other; it was about how deeply they cared about each other. That was lost in the second half, largely because of the director's style.

3. How they handled Teh and Oh's first time. I'm sorry, but this is just a gripe for me. I get that sex is not the be-all and end-all of life, but your first time with someone and your first time, period, is important. I wish they'd put the first time in the first episode and let the scene in Episode 3 stand independently. It felt like they dirtied it with what Teh did in Episode 3. It wasn't about how racy it was (and really, it wasn't that racy to begin with), but how they edited things just didn't sit well with me.

4. Yes, in the end, the thing with Jai still bothers me a little. I get why they did what they did, but it was a very polarizing, emotionally-charged plot decision that created divisions where there needn't have been any. Almost any other rift would have been better (short of, you know, Teh committing crimes or something), or at the very least, Teh coming clean before he actually did anything. That said, it could have been far worse, so at least the writers had the sense to make Teh's actions very mild. Still, the deception bothered me. In a relationship, that's the hardest thing to come back from, which is what polarized fans so much. However, I *in no way* agree with how some fans reacted after episode 3. Bullying crew off Twitter, harassing the director, threatening arson, urging the actors to leave their contracts - that kind of thing is absolutely not okay. Some fans desperately needed to grow up and separate reality from fiction. It's a plot twist, not murder. Get over it.

Despite my gripes, I still really loved I Promised You the Moon. Even when the characters did things you didn't agree with, the storytelling made sense, the actions of the characters made sense, and everything worked out logically. You understood why the characters were doing what they were doing, even if you didn't agree. The series was also stunningly well-acted by everyone. I commend the director for his ability to pull out the performances he did! One of the reasons I think a lot of fans forgave Teh after the finale was simply how well Billkin played him - the character might have made some bad decisions, but the way Billkin approaches it makes it impossible, for me at least, to  hate Teh. Even when he screwed up and I was thinking, "Dude, you totally deserve this," I couldn't help feeling some empathy for him anyway. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the musical score, and the song and MV "Coming of Age" had me bawling all over again. Therefore, despite my gripes, it's a solid 9/10 for me. Not as good as ITSAY, but nonetheless a towering achievement for Thailand and Nadao.

GREAT SEQUEL TO I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU

Narratives like what I Promised You The Moon presented might not be everyone's cup of tea but what is important is that they remained consistent with how they tell stories. I Promised You The Moon is pretty heavy but that does not invalidate the writing. If one does not like the story, it does not mean the story is automatically bad. It just means it does not cater to the general audience and that's what I loved about I Promised You The Moon. Its bravery in telling hard-to-swallow stories like this is what made IPYTM great. I hope more people appreciate this modern classic of a series.

What a beautiful moon <3

As expected, I loved this pretty much just as much as I loved I Told Sunset About You. ITSAY has a very special place in my heart so when I found out it was getting a part 2, I was so excited. I was so anxious to watch this series that I literally told myself I was gonna wait until the entire series aired before I watched it so I didn't have to torture myself with waiting every week for an episode.
So, I think it was a couple days after episode 3 aired and before I had watched it, I had heard the news about Teh's cheating. After that, I was upset because I was worried about not only how the series would end, but if I was even gonna like it or not. Cheating isn't a foreign thing when it comes to a BL series. I mean usually it's someone forcing themselves onto the main character, but still... it happens quite often. However, that is NOT the direction I ever thought this series would go. Finding that out made me lose faith in the plot of the series even being any good at all.
BUT I honestly should've never doubted this series though. I may have been upset as hell with Teh's character for cheating and really sad to see Oh'aews character in pain but the ending was exactly what I wanted. I still wanted them to be together no matter what. I think that there is always room for a relationship to grow, recover, and succeed if both partners are willing to just try. I think that the love between Teh and Oh'aew is so pure and strong that they were able to overcome their flaws. I will never say it's okay to cheat but I think like Oh'aew said at the end "It is impossible for us to not have problems." All couples have issues and it's normal to sometimes have feelings for someone else. It's you being a human being.
With the history the two of them have together, the memories, the love, the happiness, the laughter.. I just think that the bond they have with each other is too strong to break. Especially when there is time given to heal.
It's okay for people to change and to go their separate paths. Sometimes it's necessary for people to become stronger when they come back together.
Overall, this series was amazing. The only thing that upset me sometimes is I felt like there may have been a little too much screen time for the side characters and not enough for the main couple. I mean, in ITSAY they were the main focus pretty much all the way through but for this part, I don't feel that was so. But other than that I really can't complain.
I loved this so much and I recommend this entire series to anyone who is a fan of BL and coming of age stories.

as a big fan of ITSAY, this was straight up just a disaster

I could proudly and confidently say that I am the biggest ITSAY fan. This show changed my life heavily and even inspired me to become a director. Everything about ITSAY was just perfect, the characters, the acting, the story and the amazing cinematography. Up until P'Boss decided to do some charity work by handing over the second season to a second director. I mean I already expected some downgrade to the storyline and the camerawork but boy oh boy was this a disaster.
I went into the first episode very happy and excited to see OA and Teh again. It was all going well so far. Although I did notice that something was different about the camerawork. The whole ITSAY vibe just was not there. ITSAY's camerawork was so perfect I felt like it had its own soul, but this? this felt like some post-apocalyptical sci-fi movie when it came to the colours and the angles of each scene. What I'm trying to say is that there was no ITSAY spark regarding the camerawork. No shade to the people behind it of course, it just does not fit ITSAY as a story. The first episode was pretty ok. I had some hopes that this might actually be better than my expectations, especially when OA met his new friends. I have to say that Q was a very nice addition to the characters. His character was very cool already with only 1 minute of screen time. (cooler than The will ever be. Sorry not sorry)
After that everything was just a blur to me. Teh acting up again, getting mad at OA for discovering what he actually likes and for getting a tattoo ABOUT HIM??? I already hated Teh a bit in ITSAY but after IPYTM I despised him thanks to P'Meen.
All of Teh's actions made no sense. The getting mad at OA for being himself, the cheating on OA and not even trying to hide it and just being an idiot, but what made even less sense was how OA decided to forgive him after all what he did to him. I know that OA is a good person and that he really liked Teh, but what he did to him was just unforgivable. Once again, OA had one of the sweetest, most considerate guys fall for him (Q), but he still chose stinky crybaby Teh. I just don't understand. Sometimes the best you can do is move on, even if it hurts. It is still way better than staying with a toxic piece of trash who will probably repeat the same mistakes over and over. In ITSAY I was able to look past his actions because at the end of the day he was just a kid. But now that he's a grown ass man and he's still doing shit like this, then I WILL call him out for it, seriously. OA had both Bas and Q but still chose Teh. It made me so mad.
The only positive outcome of this disaster were the OA scenes, the Bas scenes and the Q scenes. Oh and also the OSTs were great. Probably carried the series.

This is a story about love, forgiveness, and acceptance. THIS IS NOT A FAIRYTALE!

I am compelled to write a review because of all the rants I've read in the comment section. If you're looking for a perfect and flawless love story (which btw does NOT exist) get the hell out now.

This is a story that happens to anyone. People are originally fragile and prone to whatever temptations out there. The storytelling was executed perfectly, all the little details hinting at the inevitable... everything that led to that night; a mistake was done, the consequences irreversible.

I don't condone cheating. But to me, cheating is something done intentionally, disregarding the other partner's feelings to satisfy one's own selfish desires. It was not the case with Teh. But whatever the case was, it was still wrong to be swayed with another person and indulge in it without even realizing it while in a committed relationship.

For Oh, it was devastating. To see the love of his life looking at another man with longing; no one would ever want that. And so, he walked away from Teh. I completely supported his decision.

Years later, the wound healed, both of them moved on and can sincerely wish each other well.

Oh's decision to accept Teh back was perfectly rational. It was not something impulsive. He has loved Teh most of his life, no one can take that away from him. He knew that their relationship won't ever be perfect, but he's walking into it with full disclosure.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, THIS IS A STORY ABOUT REAL PEOPLE and not some trashy plot made to satisfy the general audience.

I truly want to commend all the people behind this show. I enjoyed it and was moved by the raw and real emotions the acting and the lines conveyed.

There was no boring moment

No non-sense conversations

Mature thought processes

Character development was present

Believable choices made

To be honest, this show had a much more impact on me than its predecessor.
