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.
