Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart (2022)

Nice and cute

Nothing really special here. It's that kind of cute and fuzzy BL that we all like. No major plotlines, not too much drama, a lot of chemistry and some nice kisses. 8 episodes is just long enough for these kind of distractions from daily life. I would like to make a special remark regarding the music. This made for a much better watching experience and I love that the makers here understood that perfectly. Also extra kudos for not using the sound effect button too much.

Butterfly levels are ok. Kisses are real enough. No particular peeves, just that it was not very original, but not every drama can or needs to be.

low expectation isn’t wrong

i’m not mad to this series because i dont give high expectations on it in the first place. it just when i know the screenwriter have all great series, and it’s the same director for star&sky, but the outcome.. is confusing. the story reminds me of 1000 stars, but at first i thought it can be better, though it is not. also i dont know who and why choose this couple to be the main lead because their chemistry is far from good. i’m really sorry i have to say this, it’s like they being forced to be a couple. and they didn’t understand the assignment. their acting, each actor (whole character), is not bad. but when it comes to only them the couple lead, with romance scene, i can’t keep watching it. and by that, i’m not focusing on the story anymore because i fast forward so many parts.

Short but sweet

There is really nothing that I can find to discredit this series, I found it way more fun and interesting to watch compared to Star in my mind. One thing I love about this series is that there are no 'filler side couples', the side couples that are just there to just fill in screentime. The story didn't drag on any misunderstandings, and I loved how they explored Fah's emotions throughout the series. Its relatively short compared to other thai BLs out there but the plot is refreshing (not a school romance) and if it wasn't for ATOTS releasing in the same year, I think this series would have been a big hit. Handsome and great actors, great locations, pretty-good feel-good storyline....nothing that screamed out WOW for me but definitely a recommendation if you want something good and simple to binge.

Het actor dipping toes into BL universe

While it's not surprising to watch Het Actor dipping his toes into BL world once in a while, for some reasons it's still comes off as a surprised for to see Mek agreed for it

Being paired with GMM fresh actor, Mark- I personally shipping MekMark more than with whoever Mek current girlfriend in real life.

In Sky in Your Heart series, I actually find myself enjoyed watching Mek character Fah as overly clingy puppy dog who always using his charm to win over something which I always find it annoying in every Japan Anime coz it's feels like it's been overused. For some reasons Mek makes it worked without it feels cringe .

Yes I agreed the storyline feels dry at some point due to it's slow pace and I wish we could just cut off Prince ex from the plot itself coz it feels very unnecessary to me.

Not gonna lie, even though it's already 2022, it still nice to watch BL drama where the main actor who's straight all his life founds himself immerse/ attracted with another guy. I personally think it's a good example for young generation nowadays to show that Love Is Love - if you're attracted with your own gender, just go for it because Love should not be complicated
People nowadays are more open minded than people in the 90's, you might found to be surprised that the world might rejoices on your relationship rather than side eyeing just because your spouse also a man

Back to the series , it's a bad idea to compare Sky In Your Heart VS A Tale of Thousands Stars even though both of them are GMMTV product. They both irrelevant to be compared because both of them have their own charm, especially Prince who comes off as a mystery character that always hiding his identity despite being a volunteer teacher in rural community

FahPrince X MekMark is definitely a BL pairing that I wish to see more in future project if Mek decides to do another BL series in the future. PuppyFah VS SemePrince is a joy to watch in the series!

Cute and refreshing

I am totally completely in love with Prince. That guy nailed his role. I loved this one more comparing to DaoKluen story. It was simple. But cute. Good for binge watch. The guy who played Prince did a very good job. I get he didn't play anything before. But it wasn't noticable at all. He totally nailed his character. Also, in this part I love how the friends are matured than DaoKluen's. Well obviously because they are literally mature than them but I am saying as in they give mature suggestions to their friends as well. Overall it was enjoyable. I also have a feeling that actors who played kluen and prince would make a nice pair too. Hopefully we'll see them in a series together. **************

Love it, it is very understanding.

Short, sweet, cute and innocent. Really different from SIMM, but very nether less. I don't believe the two should be compared because the personality and decision of the characters are different. SIMM is a college student one and SIYH is about two adults (even tho one is still in university) who has already decided that they do what they need, respect each other's space and don't fight over things that can be resolved by understanding the other. They both react according to their past experiences, as a medical student I do understand Kaufah concern, but Prince is the most understanding lover Kaufah can find.

The thing I loved the most here is that they do know how to separate personal matters and public matters. Even tho they disagree, they do not let that effect their relationship in front of others or even when they have to work together.

This series is really good, really cute and innocent somehow. Some say the plot is not there or anything of the sort but I believe the plot is calm, and they did the best in their own mind for the other person. I believe everyone should give this a chance, if I had a relationship like this in my life, I would be really happy.

I like the chemistry between all the actors, this series has the most sweet kisses I have ever seen in a series, it is not one that will make you want to replay, but it will definitely be one you will be shy to have witnessed.

This is my first time writing a review and I believe it is worth it.

Much better than Star in My Mind, therefore I enjoyed it more

Sky in My Mind was a huge improvement over its predecessor. While, SIMM had its moments it certainty failed and dragged on with the misunderstandings. Fah and Prince actually talked to each other & listened. The misunderstandings they may have had were solved pretty fast and easily. I will agree that the drama in the last episode was cliche because that's why cellphones exist lol, but it only lasted about half an episode. I appreciated that it wasn't dragged out for 2-3 episodes which is common in BL series. For that alone it's one of my favorites. Not only were the problems solved quicker, but I do think the characters were more mature and didn't easily fall into the childish behavior that Dao and Kluen tended too. Did Fah and Prince have their moments? Yes, but never to a child's degree. That was a breath of fresh air.

I also enjoyed the simplicity and romance of the series. Some scenes gave me butterflies and yeah, I enjoy cheese, so this was right up my alley. Think the setting being away from the big city helped SIYH achieve what it wanted to. Got to say the village where Sky was filmed was absolutely beautiful, took me right into the mood every Friday.

I'll admit Mek was the best part of this series. His acting skills and charm really did the heavy lifting when the series needed it to. I'm gonna miss watching him every week. That being said tho, for being a newbie Mark did a decent job. Although Mark still needs work especially in emoting better. But, he's much better than other newbies GMMTV & other production companies have put forward lately. I loved the chemistry between Mek and Mark it really made the series for me. May be in the minority but I think they had more than Dunk and Joong.

As for the music have to say the opening song is one of my favorites, used to hum along to it when it played. The rest of the OST was ok. Overall I give SIYH a 9.5 and will probably be rewatching when I'm in the mood to. It's def easier to watch than SIMM despite the drama in the last two episodes & for that it gets higher points from me.

Not good enough

The story theme wasn't bad at all. It really was a very solid idea and much more interesting than what you usually see in a bl, but it suffered from rushed writing. The main characters were likable with cute/fun interactions and a fine backstory, but not developed properly. Some things were just resolved very quickly or characters were thrown into the mix out of nowhere to stir some trouble, without really having any impact other than being plot devices. That could be blamed to the number of the episodes, but I feel they still could do much better with the writing.

The main protagonists had chemistry. Both actors were pretty capable, but there's so much you can do when the scenario doesn't help.

For me, this series had the potential to be great, but didn't receive the care it deserved. It was treated more like a series to fill the gap in the program till the next big project was ready, which is a shame. Still you can watch it pleasantly if you just want to pass your time..

The Sky over The Star...

Haven't finished but I felt the need to write a review. I've watched both Star In My Mind and Sky In Your Heart and have come to the conclusion that Sky In Your Heart is significantly better. The characters aren't frustrating and convoluted for no reason and all of the miscommunications don't last longer than necessary. Sky In Your Heart has actually been a pleasant watch.The chemistry between Mek and Mark is A+, they give me all the butterflies with their simple looks. Honestly don't need to watch Star In Your Mind if you wanna see Kluen and Dao since they unnecessarily at times interrupt the flow of Fah and Prince's story, which is one of the negatives but doesn't bother me too much. Perhaps it helps the story isn't high school related but I prefer it so much more on all aspects.
Will return to update once it's officially.

Digna de aplausos

Assim como o primeiro arco, essa série é linda, repleta de clichês e lições. No final do primeiro temos um pequeno spoiler sobre o casamento e o acidente, mas a situação só é explicada de forma completa agora.

Achei realmente linda a forma como as duas partes da série tem histórias tão diferentes, e mesmo assim se entrelaçam de forma perfeita, através do fato de Prince ser amigo de Khabkluen, o que vai fazer com que eles se reencontrem no final. Outro ponto que merece atenção é a família de Prince, que apesar de rica e aristocrática é bem moderna quando o assunto é amor.

Dentre as diversas temáticas, é maravilhoso ver a parte rural da Tailândia, aquela sem glamuor, inclusive mostrando problemas comuns do dia-a-dia dos aldeões, como costumes retrógrados de casamentos arranjados, o preconceito com pessoas que cometeram algum erro , a exploração dos mais ricos que não permitem que os mais pobres possam subsistir sem a dependência deles, a falta de suprimentos nessas comunidades distantes, e a tragédia que pode acontecer se alguém contrai alguma doença mais grave e não tem como chegar a tempo nas cidades.

A forma como o romance foi construído foi belíssima. Tudo de forma lenta e gradual. Aos poucos as barreiras de medo, dúvidas e traumas antigos sendo derrubadas à medida em que ambos abrem o coração um para o outro. A estratégia do amigo de falar que gostava do professor a fim de causar ciúmes em Fah, a maneira como retrataram os sentimentos do Tio Phang, que o levaram a ser alcoólatra. A forma como Prince faz questão absoluta de esconder sua origem e viver de forma simples. São recortes cheios de detalhes que fazem dessa série um drama tão profundo, sem perder a ponta de humor que fez toda a diferença.

A atuação é perfeita, a ost, tanto na voz de Louis como na voz de Mek é belíssima, a fotografia é impecável.
Umas das séries que cm certeza irei rever muitas vezes, e que mais faço questão de indicar.
