Fish upon the Sky

In my opinion, both stories revolve around two university students who have a sort of rivalry. They may not be academic rivals exactly, but they definitely don’t get along at first. That tension between them —the constant bickering— gives off a very similar dynamic to the one in Fish Upon the Sky.

If you liked Cutie Pie then you might like Fish Upon the Sky.

Both dramas featured the following:

- Affectionate couples with good chemistry and the best kissing scenes.

- A MC (Kuea/Pi) with an adorable, immature, and sometimes petty personality. I just love both MCs sense of humor and petty sides, they give me the drama I crave.

- A ML (Hia Lian/Mork) that is elegant, mature, and totally head-over heels in love with the MC. Both MLs have neverending patience when dealing with their Drama King MCs.

- Side couples made up of polar opposites. Seriously, in both dramas the second MLs (Hia Yi/Duean) are abrasive, domineering, yet funny. They come across as somewhat mean towards their love interests but still are protective of them. The love interests (Khondiao/Meen) also have similar personalities of gentle and needing to be handled with care, yet hidden strength.

- The side characters in both dramas are hilarious! In Cutie Pie, Kuea's classmates are hysterical and always down to help him hide his secrets from Hia Lian. In Fish Upon the Sky, Pi has the help of his brother's classmates to help him as well. I guess the running trope is that the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are really fun and cool people. ;-) Oh yeah, can't forget our fave personal secretaries from CP and Ship Captains from FUTS (they are hilarious!). :-D

- I also want to mention that both dramas featured very supportive parents/families that were accepting of their children's relationships.

By far these two are my fave Thai BL dramas, with Kinnporsche close behind :-)

similar vibes, both have rivalry and their feelings change towards each other as the series progresses. Both are light hearted and fun.

Similarities:

- Secret crushes
- Both school-related plots
- The "nerd" ML gets a makeover
- Each ML helps the other ML in some way (secretly)
• Tries to become their friend too
- The ML's friend helps the ML get their crush

Differences:

- FUTS ("Fish Upon the Sky") is university-based while MSP ("My School President") is high school-based
- MSP is more about music than school, while FUTS is more about dentistry and health sciences (medicine)

Both male leads played by PondPhuwin.

Similarities:
- Phuwin playing a character who is seen as a 'loner' with little to no friends
- Pond befriending said above character and trying to help them
- Sweet/wholesome romance scenes
- Love triangles
- Cute side couple (different actors in each series)

Same cute couple and cute but not overly cheesy vibe. Even the side couple in fish are just as cute! Naturally there are some scenes that can be too sweet but overall its a good, wholesome bl
