Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart (2022)

LIGHTHEARTED ROMANCE and BEAUTIFUL STORY

Let me just share that I watched this after a year when I finished it's first part teh Joong and Dunk Part ! And yeah maybe its the perfect timen for me to watch it so anyways, lets go to my review.
This is a feel good drama that we need after watching the disastrous, painful drama out there like this drama is a good balancer, this has a light heart story that if you look and understand it, it has a depth when it comes to dealing with relationships, and your own personality and choices in life. This drama is easy to love and easy ri understand like I think even it will be not everyone but more people will say that they liked this drama than of those who did not, the concept of a drunkard workaholic doctor and a volunteer teacher met and found love was so amazing, also the going to the countryside for a mission or something away from the city, away from every stress in Urban, like I like those concepts because I myself wanted to do that like I wish I could also just go to the provinces without getting worried about money and find love !
I like Prince and Koufah's love story, the realization part and the part where Fah thought that he cannot take care of Prince just like how he was not able to take care of his ex who was married already like , when he finally thought that he can change and he can really take care of Prince , it was so amazing , I mean I have seen so many movies and love story with this kinds of concepts but this will be one of the best of those, I love their chemistry, the joke and funny moments are not too much, my heart felt light and lovely after watching this
About the kiss I guess they could've done it properly but its okay for me, the production was simple but beautiful, few casts, and we can see that this was not as like prepared as the oter gmmtv dramas but there was no lacking for me for 8 episodes, it was complete and perfect for the number of episodes and the run time, love also the friends of Fah and the kids that support their love story. There was no stressful thing in this drama, I was actually surprised I would love this like this !
Mark and Mek have so much chemistry, I thought when I was first watching it, maybe this was a ship test or something, too bad that Mek has departed GMMTV already, I mean he has stayed there for a long time anyways so I'll just hope for a more success in his career, but personally they could've be one of the ships of GMMTV
All in all this drama is lighthearted, with a beautiful story, I think I would re watch this one again some other time !

Falls short, but amazing cast

As always, these are just my thoughts and opinions and not intended to offend :)

Well, this was better than Star in my Mind, even if it was a little lacklustre. If I’m honest, it felt a little bit like a cheap rendition of A Tale of 1000 Stars, just with some roles swapped. That being said, it was still enjoyable enough and didn’t make me want to stop watching (unlike its predecessor).

Mek and Mark are both great actors, and I feel like they did what they could with the roles given to them. The characters could have been fleshed out a little more, but there’s nothing I truly disliked. The supporting cast was great, especially Mike and TopTap who just always bring it.

Over all, the Star and Sky series is much more forgettable than I wish it was. There was potential with having so many great actors involved, but it just fell very flat for me.

The romance through the mountains that survives in the city.

After seeing ATOTS, all I wanted was another mountainside-based romance and thankfully I got that with Sky in your heart. It's a new trope that very few series can get right and Sky in your heart gets it checked. Seeing Mek in a Main role in a BL along with debut of Mark proved successful as their Chemistry was splendid, The Crew were awesome, The OST was beautiful and really makes wanna re-watch it again. Though shorter in comparison, it does finish it's story and leaves us complete. Can't wait for the Special episode next week. Watch it and enjoy their love story.

"Enjoyable and cute," said the biased viewer

While I don't think Sky in Your Heart is groundbreaking, I also believe that not every show has to be groundbreaking. This short 8-episode series is competent enough in all aspects to be enjoyable for the casual viewer. I think. Honestly, I'll admit that I have a few biases. For one, I really like Mek and so I was very excited to see him as a lead in a BL. Secondly, I love A Tale of 1000 Stars and this show has similarities (however weak in comparison they may be to 1000 Stars). Lastly, I think this show is objectively better than its companion series Star in My Mind.

At the start of the series, I was actually disappointed by Mek. I thought he was a very convincing male lead in Kiss the Series but for the first few episodes, I had a hard time buying the insta-love dynamic. I felt like Mek was trying too hard in the beginning. Luckily, he pulled through in the moments that really count later on. And while the setting was similar to 1000 Stars, I just feel like this show didn't breathe as much life into the village in the same way 1000 Stars did. The supporting cast had funny lines, occasionally, but were mostly forgettable. Khuafah's relationships with his friends and the other villagers felt formulaic and flat.

I think the biggest disappointment with Sky in Your Heart is that it clearly had the potential to be something better. Mek is typically a compelling actor, but his range was severely underutilized in this series.

I don't give a fuck what you think about SIYH but overall it got a 7.9 rating from viewers so cry!

I wanted to give this series a 9.0 rating at the end but I saw many wailers lamenting over pathetic mistakes and cursing GMMTV! Well if you feel bad about it act your own! No one is stopping you! If you think it's that easy go and act or direct or produce a Bl series if not STFUC . Most of your reviews were so bad that at first I thought it was for the Bl series ' Check out' ! You are so accustomed to perfect Bl series that you forgot the main reason why films are produced! To entertain and to educate! It was never meant to be a perfect ,well orchestrated planned and eye pleasing drama. No it was meant to envoke in us different emotions. And as Vin stated this MDL is becoming more like Reddit. I will conclude my introduction by stating that those who wish for a perfect Bl series should know that there's no perfect drama nor series it depends on perspection . And dramas and films are like people's lives!, IMPERFECT!

This is a simple Bl series with hardly any serious conflicts and is the sequel to the first part Star in mind. It's about Dr Fah as he seeks to deal with his past after his girlfriend dumped him and marries his friend. He meets Prince who according to a reviewer here is an " elderly woman" in a youth body constantly nagging and harassing Fah... this is not true... Prince also has an ex who betrays him and ruins his life therefore he's not comfortable around Fah, cause he has feelings for him Prince is very noble sacrificing his time and comforts to teach the children in the rural mountain village he even wears a Sarong ( Thai dress for women ) to aid a cause he believes in ... True love.Prince however slowly begins to understand Fah and Vise versa and as episode 5 ends I can tell you that the gunshot signals the beginning of Fah and Prince's journey to rediscover themselves and to learn to trust each other! If you want to watch Sky in your heart go ahead you will certainly like it from the All high and righteous Prince to bold Yayah to the plumpy little boy We-ah to Somphor who dislikes the Picture- taking addicted Aou to faithful Mesa who stands by his confused friend Fah.

I like the story and the actors and this is far better than Star in mind

Like A Tale of Thousand Stars but …better? :O

I thought this would be a tired remake of A Tale Of Thousand Stars but I was wrong. I actually liked it better than ATOTS! (Fight me ahahahha.)

You will notice many similar elements, which may be initially off-putting. There’s the rural mountainous setting, a cute volunteer teacher, rich urbanites who can’t get used to the village lifestyle and a sad backstory involving a traffic accident. It’s almost as though someone in GMMTV gave up brainstorming and said, “ayyy, let’s just recycle those ideas”.

As the second part to Star And Sky, SIYH doesn’t try to do too much in 8 episodes. While this means that the story compromises on the depth that you would expect from a full-fledged series, it makes up for it with compelling characters and tight writing. Most importantly, the chemistry between Kuafah and Prince is great.

Unlike ATOTS, which I found slightly complex plot-wise, Sky In Your Heart is a warm and fuzzy pick-me-up at the end of a dreadful day.

The only thing I didn't like was how their misunderstanding and concerns were glossed over pretty quickly in the final episode (prob due to to time constraints) so the couple is not shown working through their problems together. If you can overlook this detail, you'll be blown away by how Kuafah and Prince make for an unbelievably cute pair. I had doubts seeing them individually, but together, they’re really something else. Seriously, my cheeks hurt from all the smiling.

Worst Timed Lunch in BL History

My true score for this series is 7.7

Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart is a continuation of the previous part Star and Sky: Star in My Mind. If you asked me if it's better? I can comfortably say: Yes.

The characters are more fleshed out, side characters are more likable, and don't feel like props. Peacing is also a lot better. While storyline and cinematography also look better than in the previous part (Or it's scenic village scenery that distracts you from it)

The whole story revolves around Doctor and Teacher who fall in love with each other in a small village. 8 episodes feel like a very short time but somehow it's more than enough in the Director and Screenwriter's opinion to feed us sweet scenes of the previous part couple in all-time weird timing. That why when Prince fight for his life sick (malaria) we have - TADAM - a sweet scene of Daonuea and Khabkluen flirting over lunch. It all you should know about timing on this series or therefore lack of it.

All actors really tried their best with what all watchers can notice "colorful" script - 10/10 for effort. I want to especially applaud the actor who played Prince who is a newbie to acting - he really did best he could with what he got. When for some reason - the wardrobe department seemed to have difficulty with finding him clothes that fit him ( Like really give him pants that don't look so ill-fitting), and other little and the bigger things that I will not mention because I want to keep this review short. Anyway i couldn't help noticing that with such a "colorful" series Prince sometimes give us this blank start - that perfectly gives off a feeling of - What I am doing with my life? Screenwriters and directors really should take it to heart before producing something like this again.

The script is mediocre, the execution of it is also mediocre while post-production editing feels like it was done by a drunk person...

Is this series Bad? NO.
Is this series GOOD? NO

There are much worse and better series than this one, it feels like a discount version of A Tale of Thousand Stars but still watchable enough to stay for 8 episodes. While the main couple is likable and has a cute storyline. I even liked their romance aspect till Prince suddenly got a sudden character change and started behaving like a heroine from a Victorian romance novel (Even in this genre I saw spicer romance). Anyway everyone probably already noticed that GMMTV has a problem with writing adults character that behaves like adults.

To sum it up if you have some free time give it a go, it would be probably a nice, sweet or even cheesy PG intro into BL genre. But if you look for something of more substance and plot-oriented or dramatic it might not be for you.

Mek saved the Show ((DR FAH)

Mek really delivered a variety of range in his role as Dr.Fah and I must say he really saved Sky in Your Heart with his passion. it was far superior to star in my mind but that isn't saying much giving the fact that that show was a hot mess. this show had so many plot holes and the finale felt rushed and all over the place. I really hope we see Mek in more BL's in the future because he is a really good actor since I began watching him in the Kiss series all those years ago playing Thada. Sky in your heart did have a lot of elements of a tale of a thousand stars but it did feel fresh and new in some ways.

Calm and Soothing

I don't get why most people are commenting badly about this series. I have watched it twice already because it soothes my nerves.
The setting seems similar to ATOTS but here you won't need to constantly be worried that a certain someone might kill himself out of recklessness.
I know there are no overly dramatic scenes in this series and many people don't like it because of this reason. But, for me, I think that was the best part. There is not much angst in the series so it fills you with a peaceful feeling.
Also, not to mention, the chemistry between Mek and Mark is amazing. Mark's acting is quite good for a rookie.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING!

It's lovely watching BL in a rural setting, finally sth that isn't in school setting lol.

Lovely to also watch the children in the show, it expands the storyline beyond just romance.

This show has a more mature storyline than the typical school setting BL, yet it still has that sweet, pure, innoncent touch that youth BL brings. I'd say it's a sweet spot, really nice, without unnecessary toxicity or drama

I'd say it'd be nicer if there are more intimate scenes, but even without it, my heart melted enough!

Furthermore, the fact that I actually like BOTH couples in this show, that means NO MORE SKIPPING parts.

Also, its not draggy, short and sweet and worth rewatching even!

Cute

Thank God this was way better than "Star in my mind"...
In the "fisrt season" they made little mentions to Fah and Prince future relationship, but in this one Dao and Kluen shown up a lot of time... I didn't like that, it's Fah and Prince story not Dao and Kluen... I'm kinda used to that already GMM always does this type of things.
I love Fah he's amazing, he kinda resembles me of myself so I think it's that that makes me like him so much ahahaha
Prince has an huge heart I'm kinda disappointed we sort of don't know anything about him, like why is he doing volunteer in the village? Is it because he wants to or he's suffering some type of punishment like Fah, Mase and JJ?

Overall I really liked it, it was easy to watch, it's a really soft BL and I enjoy that.
