If you want a smart BL drama with true connection, an interesting storyline and decent acting, this is not it.

I wasn't planning on writing a review, but seeing as this tv show is so popular, I must ward off all of you who look for quality content because if you watch A Tale Of A Thousand Stars, you'll get super disappointed.

This is what's wrong with it:

1. The storyline had a good premise, but bad execution. The whole story was written badly, nonsensically, with minimal effort.
2. The script was awkward, empty, shallow, and cheap. No emotional depth, no feeling, no honesty or truth. It read like fanfic written by a 15-year-old.
3. There is no chemistry between the two MCs. This is my biggest problem. The character named The Chief was A. a bad actor, and B. seemed like he wanted to get as far away from Tian as possible. There were no intimate moments, no touches that felt honest, no yearning that rang genuinely, and NOTHING between the two MCs that I could appreciate.
(4. This is subjective, but The Chief was truly dislikeable and he reminded me of my ex.)

In any case, I am baffled at the support this tv show is getting. I would not categorize it as a BL at all. And if it's not a BL, then what is it? A waste of time!
