With the exponential growth in their production values, characters and narratives, Thai serials have been growing in stature for years. I Told Sunset About You is proof of this astounding progress. It also consolidates the standing of stories about same-sex romances in the mainstream. Set in the charming environs of Phuket, the story follows schoolboys Teh and Oh-aew as they renew their friendship after a falling-out years ago. As they help each other navigate teenage life — their ambivalence towards their families, their fears for daunting exams — they discover there’s more to their feelings for each other than that of backslapping buddies. Boasting lush camerawork, a sound screenplay and sparkling performances from the leads, I Told Sunset About You is a moment of breaking dawn for Thai TV, and stands up to the closest of scrutiny even on a big screen.
