This is the best BL that currently exists

Okay, I've watched a ton of BL's, basically all of the great ones that are available. I've never written a review either but I felt the need to for this one. This is by far the best one I've seen. It's perfectly crafted as an amazing story with the best actors that could have been chosen. I couldn't believe how incredibly Mix played Tian being a first time actor. He certainly has a gift for this profession and I'm really looking forward to (hopefully) seeing him in more dramas. The music is also incredible and completely different to other BL's. Finally, there isn't a plotline revolving around college students. Tian is an engineering student but this drama did what most others didn't and actually had the character use what he's studying in order to help the villagers at one point.

This drama shares the intense chemistry of both main characters without being overbearing. In fact, the subtleties are what makes this drama. Normally I never really get excited until characters are kissing, but these two make it obvious of what they feel for each other when they simply lock eyes and you can feel it through the screen. I highly recommend this drama regardless of what genres you normally watch because this masterful BL is like no other and should be seen by everyone.

This is NOT a BL/Romance/Getting together

You can se my individual reviews are high but the overall is low, in comparison; that's because I personally really liked it but at the end of the day this is a review for people that haven't watched the show, and there's a big chance you're disappointed.
Normally BLs have 2 main characters, and they're the main relationship; and have other side stories (most of the time other side relationships). That doesn't happen here, this isn't a story about Tian and Phupha starting a relationship, it's Tian's story about personal growth.

Story:
The relationship between Tian and Phupha is a side story, I found it interesting and sweet but I must warn you, it is VERY slow paced. It's also the only romance story, so you don't really see couples being couples. They do have romantic scenes, but they're mostly longing (wanting something but not being able to have it), even when both know the other likes them. They do have a reason to not act towards their feelings, despite knowing the other person feels the same. So depending if you like angst or not you may like it. I loved it, but I can see people that disagree.

If the relationship isn't the main story, what is it? Tian's character development. The entire series is about him, and everything that happens is to improve him as a person. His relationships (romantic, family and friendships) are enjoyable and sweet. I liked all the characters, however besides Tian (and Phupha in a much smaller account) no one has much of a character development.

Acting:
It's good, not over dramatic, the way they speak and their gestures feel natural.

Music:
Good, I liked the way they also used covers by actors of the series, specifically Aye Sarunchana (Torfun) and Earth (Phupha).

Rewatch value:
I enjoyed the series, on a personal level would give it a 9/10 but I honestly would only rewatch Tians and Phupha's scenes. Or rewatch the entire series with someone, but not on my own.

Should you watch it?
I do recommend it, but see it as the story of a guy that beats death and doesn't know what his meaning in life is, so he goes to look for it. In the process he accepts his life is valuable, and has always been, and that he shouldn't let others (his parents) live through him.

After Counting A Thousand Stars, I'd Wish for Season 2

The execution of the production captures the overall essence of this well-written novel. The pacing of every episode made me so hooked that led me to beg in my knees and scream for season 2. This BL is the new generation of BL series, as it delivers fresh concept and plot. Having to interject LGBTQ social issues just like the usual BL Series, this one sets itself from the rest as it gave new insights by normalizing LGBTQ relationship in the society and coming-out from oneself and Self-discovery. The life morals and enlightenment found on this series, are helpful for those who have forgotten their purpose in life. Yet I am here, got motivated again after watching it, not because of the romance between the handsome men, but the depth of this beautiful story. After all, what makes a story or series effective, is to have that lasting impact to viewers, and I am glad that Tian and Pupha, conveyed it to me and to the viewers as it is how it should be. I salute everyone behind this masterpeice ✨

One of the best BL in Gmmtv! It has exceeded all of my expectations. A definitely must watch series because of its unique story and undeniable chemistry of the lead actors. ❤

I just love how this series tackled not only about LOVE, but also about LIFE. You can really feel the genuine love between the villagers and Tian.

For Mix (Tian) I was so amazed by his acting skills since it's his first ever series. He was so incredible I couldn't say anything anymore ♡ Same with Earth, his acting is wise and natural too.

What I also love about this series is the hardwork they have they done behind this successful series. They filmed in a very cold place in Chiang Rai I think. By watching their Behind the Scenes cam, you can really say that they worked really hard and that they deserve to be praised and loved.

ALL-TIME BEST

What more could I ask? Everything ATOTS has offered is beyond outstanding.

This series did not just go outside the box, it went extra miles outside it. From a typical school or university romance, ATOTS has given a different interpretation of schooling. It brought us closer to traditions, culture and simple living in Pha Pun Dao. It wants us to go back to our heritage, not just for Thais but for everyone's cultures as well. We must learn to appreciate our roots and never forget them because it is the mirror of who we are now. It also wants us to realize that no challenges and problems can beat a strongly-bonded community. One can do something, but many can do more.

The casts were impeccable. I can not complain with every single actor with their respective portrayal of their characters. Mix is such a great actor considering his inexperience. If no one knew that, no one would have thought that it was his first series and as a lead at that. Pairing him with Earth is a eureka indeed. Earth always do well in his projects, but I can't find enough words to praise his work in this series. Their chemistry worked really well. I can't also choose anyone to replace Nammon, Drake, Champ, White and Khaotung to do better than they did. Those who watched it can all agree that the series was made even special and fun because of them. The one who played Khama, the village chief was the best philosopher in all BLs. He was not just there for nothing. His words of wisdom touches the soul and pierces the heart. The kids were adorable and sweet. Truly, the series was meaningful because of them.

The OST is perfect, not only because it matches the countryside theme but it just gives me the feels of all the scenes every time it is played. Thank you for giving us this music.

They did the right move not to spoil us with many kissing scenes. Just the last episode was enough to make us believe in the reality of their love.

I can't believe this is over. I want more and I know I am not alone wishing. If only I could go to the cliff and count 1000 stars to make my wish come true, I will.

Hope to see EarthMix in more projects soon.

Beautiful and Heart warming

Highly recommended.
First Thai drama that i actually followed from start to finish, everything for me was perfect.

From the cast to the music, especially the chemistry. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this show left a lasting impression for me. I was crying for most of the last few episodes and sometimes i don't even know if it's because of the story or because it's almost ending. But after the last episode i actually felt happy and content with their story.

The story was great, i guess i liked it because it's not just romance but life affirming too (which i guess why some people doesn't like it) like i feel like the characters are real that's why it's harder to move on. It wasn't too slow for me, i feel like their relationship was moving in a realistic pace.

The music will give you LSS (last song syndrome), especially the one from the last episode.

The cast and acting for me was great especially the way they act with their eyes, just small movement but you can see the difference in emotion.

AGAIN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. It may not be as perfect for you as it was for me, but i hope you'd give it a chance and keep an open mind. I love love the ending already so i'm not too keen for a season 2, but i would like a special episode or a movie maybe just so we can see the villagers reaction when Tian came back and how they'll live their life there.

Perfect

Everything about this series just so perfect. Not just some high school love story that’s so cliche. Their relationship are so pure and healthy, not focusing on sex only like portrayed by some series. The osts are also very great. Don’t forget to prepare a lot of tissues anyway while watching. The storylines are so beautiful and the characters portrayed perfectly by every single actor and actress. A really good job done by the director, the crews and actors. This series really raise the standard in BL. Honestly speaking this series deserves more recognition from everywhere in the world.

THE BEST BL OF 2021

This is EarthMix' first BL and they did it so well! The series is very different from any BLs that I have watched - the storyline is unique especially the setting! The series is set in a remote village in the countryside of Thailand - away from the city and technology. The vibes it gives off is really healing that's why I loved it very much. It also talks about Thai culture, traditions, and history which made me love it more! It's just a bummer that the series didn't feature much OSTs but overall it's good, it's actually (so far) the best BL series of 2021!

Just wonderful
The title track was best among the bl I have ever heard of.
Good acting but I felt one of the protagonist acted a little less compared to other, but not a major flaw and all .
Plot line was good, at first I didn't have a good impression when I read the plot before watching, but after watching it felt one of good bl in 2020-2021,at par with I told the sunrise about u.
Phupha acting was so good, and the simplicity of the village felt nice too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

IT'S A FICTION

as we know, this series is adapted from a novel, and we know that novel is a fiction. When we talk about fiction, it is something that we create or imagine. some fiction based on logics, while some donts. To produce a good story, it's good to follow the logics too. I find some people gets too serious when reviewing something. I don't study arts so my review will be based on what I get from the series.
Acting - i can't deny Earth is good, like he improve so much for this series. For Mix, i don't have any word to describe how excellent he is, but i hope he didn't put too much pressure on himself, we it's hard to do a crying scene.
Music - some series put unnecessary music /bg sound, but this series handle it very well. The music fits the scenes very well. Good job to the editor team.
Storyline - everyone had their own personal opinion but for me, the storyline is almost perfect. Back to what i said about logics. According to law, Tian actually indirectly kill Torfun but we must remember this is a fiction. Not all fiction based on logic. The writer can make a sad ending if she wants, maybe Tian end up getting prosecuted, but it's just a fiction. It would be more realistic if it goes thay way. i could say that this series is actually a mature one. You don't need a toxic character, you don't need exes or shits like that to make the main characters realize they had feelings for each other. Phupa's jealousy is not over and just sweet. This series really teach you how to listen to your heart. And i love how Tian still decided to go to US eventhough he might not be able to see Phupa, a mature love need sacrifices.

This is only my opinion, thank you <3

GO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW OR ELSE!!<3

Let me just start by saying that i am NOT a person who usually takes the time out of their day to write lengthy reviews, short reviews or any form of reviews for that matter. After watching this series, i had no choice but to come on here and write this lengthy review so forgive me in advance if i jump all over the place. If you're waiting for a sign to watch this series because you are on the fence about watching it, here it is. GO WATCH!<3

Review:
I. AM. IN.LOVE.WITH.THIS.SERIES!!!I've seen my fair share of BLs, and i can say that none has come close to the magic that was created in this series. I literally just finished watching this series with tears rolling down my face and all i can say is WOW!!This is truly a Love story, one written so well and portrayed marvelously by Mix and Earth like i literally cannot picture any other actor playing Tian and Phupha than them. Mix has done an outstanding job in this series. he portrayed emotions so raw and beautiful in every scene, some might even argue that he carried the show on his back lol. Earth did what he had to do too. Absolutely loved watching his growth throughout the entirety of the series. Their chemistry, intensity, longing for one another has been felt throughout the of this series. Im not going to lie, i decided to watch it partly because they are both very beautiful men. I can say without a shadow of doubt that this series is THE best BL I've had the pleasure of watching . It was so refreshing seeing Thailand getting away from the university trope story/settings they usually do in their BLs and venturing out of their comfort zones. Everything flowed organically, nothing was forced. from the story, to the acting to the amazing soundtrack, everything is so beautifully done that i could stop myself from coming on here to express my heartfelt gratitude towards all of the cast, actors, actresses and team that came together to create this story.
I would like to take this time to just talk about the ending. I knew they would inevitably have some form of fight but I was not emotionally ready to watch them go through it given how their characters are so warm, gentle, caring, loving, expressive and in love with each other. Ive never watched a BL who simultaneously ripped my heart to shreds shortly after fixing it and make it whole all in the spam of one episode. I was literally crying waterfalls. If i learned anything from this show is that you can find happiness in the simplest of things and also dont jump to conclusions until you know all of the facts to avoid heartache. !!!!SPOILER!!!!Also that kiss at the end gave me EVERYTHING i never knew i needed. their embrace. their exchange of words and their hug! you could literally feel the love radiating off of them. Im glad they saved it till the end. so Many emotions swept over me :(
In conclusion, If you're a true lover of BL then i have no doubt you will adore this series as much as I do. EarthMix is now one of my favorite ships. My Fridays will now have no meaning.

The dark horse of current BL series

There is no dramas can be as romantic as ATOTS.
Before watching this series, there were only a couple of bl series I’ve watched. Most of them usually have a stereotype kind of setting that 2 young men fall for each other in university. However, ATOTS is innovative.
By watching the series I can feel that the love between the character is really intense through Earth and Mixs’ acting. There was non of any drama could makes me feel that way. While watching the last episode I literally bursted into tears from the start and throughout that whole 1+hour.
Overall, the story is innovative, inspiring, touching. The acting of both main roles and supporting roles are great. The music is cohesive and never tired to hear. Would definitely rewatch it over and over again.
This masterpiece is so underrated. Highly recommend this to every one!
