Teh and Oh-aew are new university students who have moved to Bangkok to begin their four years of schooling. Both of them aspire to become professional actors, although they are studying at different schools. Currently dating, it is Tehâs dream to get a leading role with Oh-aew by his side.
At his university, Teh joins the schoolâs drama club, where he meets his new friends. Thereâs Top, a famous actor who has already caught his big break in the industry. Thereâs Khim, a struggling actress who canât land a leading role despite hundreds of auditions. And then thereâs Jai, an aspiring director who forms a close connection with Teh. While Teh enjoys hanging out with his theatre buddies, heâs spending noticeably less time with Oh-aew.
Meanwhile, Oh-aew struggles to adapt to his university life. Even though Teh lives with him at first, the commute is too far between their schools. Oh-aew convinces his boyfriend to stay at the dorm instead. However, Oh-aew has been feeling lonely, homesick, and upset that he canât make any new friends. It doesnât help that Teh is paying less attention to him due to his extracurricular activities. Eventually, Oh-aew meets a friendly student named Q, who introduces him to his boisterous group of friends.
After a failed audition and harsh criticisms from his teachers, Oh-aewâs passion for acting begins to wane. Oh-aew wants to switch majors from acting to advertising, since he has developed an interest in the subject from attending his friendsâ lectures. This decision devastates Teh, who thinks Oh-aew is giving up on his dream just because heâs being influenced by his friends. As the tensions erupt, the two boyfriends realize that the directions in their lives may drastically diverge.

I Promised You the Moon Review
Review
Drama Review Score: 7.7

Like many fans, I was excited about I Promised You the Moon, the much-anticipated sequel of I Told Sunset About You. The first series was so well-produced, setting very high expectations since I know this team can achieve greatness. However, I Promised You the Moon was a relatively disappointing sequel, unable to match the masterful storytelling or the emotional tone as its predecessor.
Perhaps itâs unfair to make comparisons and pit these two series against each other, but itâs hard not to notice the difference in quality. During Season 1, the story is so rich and refined, delivering powerfully complex plots that tie together in a meaningful way. During the sequel, the story lacks the same oomph, despite its best effort to manufacture conflicts and complicate the relationship drama. The focus has shifted towards how Teh and Oh-aew are slowly coming apart as a couple, which isnât that compelling to watch.
One of the biggest problems is Teh, who crosses the line and becomes too unlikable. I can tolerate a complex character with personality flaws, but his actions are beyond infuriating as the series progresses. Midway through the series, Teh is involved in a ~dramatic incident~ that makes it difficult to redeem his character or champion his romance with Oh-aew anymore. Not that it stops I Promised You the Moon from dragging the melodrama on and on, milking the overwrought angst for all itâs worth.
The strengths of I Promised You the Moon are obvious. The production in this BL drama is so polished and presentable, easily among the best in the genre. Early in the first episode, Teh and Oh-aew share an intimate kiss at the aquarium, a beautifully cinematic moment that is captured with the perfect ambiance. This is just one of the many examples where I Promised You the Moon dazzles with its artistic flair. Every scene is handled with care, paired with visually stunning camerawork, a snazzy soundtrack, and a very stylish atmosphere.
I Promised You the Moon benefits from the residue goodwill carried over by I Told Sunset About You. My positive feelings attached to the first series help soften the criticisms I have about the sequel. The impeccable production, the charming actors, and the strong romantic chemistry constantly remind me of what I love about this franchise. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that I Promised You the Moon underdelivered when it could have been so much better. This is still a decent BL drama, but the shortcomings prevent it from being another masterpiece.

Thank you so much for your detailed reviews and the list of best series and movies. It’s now my 6. day in isolation because of Covid and i nearly watched through the entire list.
Comment to “I promised you the moon”
! heavy spoilers ahead !
I have to admit, that i could not watch the series without peeking at some comments beforehand. I wanted to avoid to much dissapointment in case of a sad ending.
So i knew about the hot discussed cheating incident and the reunion at the end and i could watch the drama unfold reassured.
In my opinion, the cheating part was not that infuriating and unforgivable as other people feel. I expected his behaviour would be much worse. In the progress of learning to distinguish between real feelings and a crush born out of acting training, some confusion is understandable. My problem with Teh are his actions afterwards. Instead of sorting his feelings out and speak with Oh, he flirts with Jai during singing a lovesong with Oh in front of friends. It’s like Oh said: “How stupid do you think i am?” Of course Oh can’t forgive him and breaks up, absolutely the right desicion.
But now to the second point many people didn’t want to happen or don’t understand why it happend: The reunion. After a by chance meeting of the two, they talk about their different ways of personal developments during the years of separation. Both learnt more about themselfes and what they want from life. So, Teh realized that he truly loves Oh and wants to be with him for the rest of his life. The approach towards Oh trough his final play was a bit clumsy, but romantic in his own way.
After much consideration Oh wants to give Teh one more chance. I respect Oh very much for this courageous decision. How can you live happily on, without to know, if it could have worked out, with a partner deep within you still love? I think this ending is very mature and something many couples go through. So, thumps up for this melancholic, but very well made series.
PS: The more recommendet prequel gave me also a tense feeling throughout the hole series and wasn’t that compelling to watch. But for me, this is exactly the strength of both storyparts.
