Fuck, Marry, Kill
GMMTV, NadaoBangkok, Studio Wabi Sabi
Ooo, this is an interesting one.
I think I have to marry Studio Wabi Sabi because one always marries for true love, okay?
I'll go ahead and fuck GMMTV because I'm using them for their steady production schedule and budget but really not that interested in them personally.
And I'm gonna kill NadaoBangkok because, honestly, I haven't really watched any of their shows.
I legit cackled at this, though. Thank you.
... seriously wondering how @absolutebl would do this.
istg I Told Sunset About You is the best drama I've ever watched. everything about it is just extremely beautiful, I mean it's such masterpieceee 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Learn Mandarin with I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU
Part 2.1: 对话
• ────── ✾ ────── •
This time we will be looking at the dialogue spoken in Mandarin in I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU. Bear with me ‘cause it’s gonna be pretty long.
In episode 1, after going on an exam, Teh called his mom and said, “不过,我觉得自己做得还可以哦。” (however, I think I did great.)
不过 means however
自己 means self (myself, yourself)
This dialogue of Yongjian and Yuexin is being repeated a couple times: on tv, written on script, and on Oh-aew Chinese new year performance.
“慢着!勇健!” (Yongjian, wait!)
“月欣!让开,我无法原谅你父亲所做之事。背叛者只有一个下场,那就是死!” (Yuexin, move. I can’t forgive what your father did. Traitor only deserve one end, which is death.)
“若你对我父亲下手,便如同你也杀了我一样。” (if you kill my father, it would means that you killed me too.)
On this scene here, Teh’s mom doesn’t speak Mandarin, but I just want to point out that she calls the customers as “ko, cik” which, I assume, is the Thai people’s way to say 哥哥 (older brother)and 姐姐 (older sister). This kind of pronunciation comes from the original Mandarin language, but the pronunciation evolve with the local language. As far as I know, ko and cik is also widely used in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
When Teh and Ko Hoon arrived home, mom said “妈妈的两个小英终于来了。” (Mama’s two little heroes finally come home.)
Ma called his two boys 两个小英 which means two little heroes ><
Student will call the teacher 老师 regardless of their gender. 老师 simply means teacher. On the first meeting, I heard laoshi said few sentences in Chinese, but I can’t catch it clearly since it’s smashed with the music. He said “做好”(sit down) and “今天是第一堂课高考补习班的。。” (Today is the first class of admission exam preparation class)
高考 means university admission examination
补习班 means class that you attend after school or cram school
Here there’s a little dialogue between Teh and his mom.
“怕考不上吗?不用着急。反正考都考完了。” (are you afraid you won’t get admitted? Don’t worry. The exam is over afterall)
”看也不顺眼,听也不顺耳。“
I have a hard time to translate this sentence. It literally means not pleasing to the eyes, not pleasing to the ear either. In this context, it is used to describe something that doesn’t sit right with your heart.
When Oh-aew came for tutoring, Ma said to Teh “教了朋友书。自己也要预习多。”(now you already teach your friend.(Don’t forget) You yourself (still) have to study.”
教书 means teach
预习 literally means preview. There are many ways to say study: 学习、读书、预习、复习. This particular word that Ma used means that she told Teh to study more, study to prepare for future classes.
放心 = rest assured
关心 = to care
伤心 = sad, be broken-hearted
What’s interesting about this scene is that they’re guessing flashcards for words that contain 心 (heart). We know that this scene is when Teh is feeling confused and sad because Oh-aew consider him the same as other friends. His heart felt so many emotions just like written on the flashcards, and lastly he feels ‘伤心’ sad right now.
The tips that he gave about memorizing this word is also interesting because it connects so much with the emotion that he’s feeling right at that moment. “Just think about these two character, their roots are from human (人). Plus 力 means force. And this word 心 which means heart. When these two combine, it’s like two people using force against each other’s hearts, which means ‘sad’.”
That’s such a beautiful way to remember 伤心 :)

Part 2.2>
10 reasons to watch quarantine stories 10: what happened last night?
wlw. friends to lovers. yearning.
it’s cute af. and funny. and heartwarming. and romantic. and generally just really high quality considering it was made during lockdown over video call
look? at that poster?
it’s only 20 minutes long. i wish it were longer! but at the length it is, it’s a) an excellently constructed short film and b) short enough that you can watch it three times in your lunch hour
it’s a standalone. (again, i wish there was more of it. but it also means you have no excuse not to watch it immediately)
the characters are great! and the relationships (romantic and otherwise) are also wonderful
the chemistry is off the charts (despite the fact that it all takes place over video call)
brief but poignant consideration of prejudice/homophobia (nothing too heavy but wow, they really did so much in this 20 min short. i’m amazed)
it’s made by nadao bangkok, who also did i told sunset about you (so really i shouldn’t be surprised by the quality). the actors do a great job—it stars pearwah nichaphat (boyo from friend zone) and some other new faces who are also excellent
if you watched 2gether and wanted earn and pear to get together, you should 110% watch this and heacanon it as an adult earnpear get-together story. i did when i rewatched it and it was beautiful
you can watch it subbed on youtube on the nadao bangkok youtube channel (and you can thank me later)
Teh : Wow, the stars are beautiful
Tarn : Yeah they are
Teh : You know who else is beautiful?
Tarn, blushing : H-huh?
Teh : Oh aew
Just 2 graduates being happy.
