Fish upon the Sky

Ridiculous serie

I think this must be THE most ridiculous BL serie I’ve ever watched … to the point even that it’s not even funny anymore.

After 2 parts of a episode I zapped every episode and watched only the scenes between Phuwin and Pond. Their chemistry is obvious (and that’s why “Never let me go” is a hitserie).

Concerning Neo … I saw him in Vice Versa where he overacted his part and portrayed it like an 8 year old boy. In this series it is even worse. And that’s a pitty because this young man has soo much potential. So, please next time cast this actor in a role that is better suited for him.

I can’t recommend this serie at all. It’s one for the “oubliettes” as we say in French.

CUTE BUT KINDA SHALLOW

I watched Fish Upon the Sky basically because I was running out of BLs to watch, desperate times, haha. It’s another enemies-to-lovers story, which I’m a total sucker for, so of course I had to check it out.

The concept is cute, but honestly, it felt a bit lacking in substance. Kinda childish at times, not necessarily a bad thing, just not super deep. I’m usually not a big fan of BLs set in university, but I gave this one a shot because Phuwin’s character studies Medicine, and that caught my interest.

I did feel a little sad for Pi (Phuwin), though. He’s super insecure about his looks, even though he’s actually really good-looking. It was hard to watch him beat himself up like that.

Surprisingly, my favorite storyline ended up being Duean and Meen’s. Neo as Duean is hilarious, he never fails to bring the comedy.

Oh, and side note, that cadaver scene? Way too fake. They just threw a white cloth over it, and I couldn’t help but laugh. Not realistic at all.

If you’re someone who watches a lot of BLs, this one’s worth a try, just don’t expect it to blow you away. Definitely more of a filler watch than a must-see 😂

CAMP IN A VERY GOOD WAY

It's so camp, like really camp. The scenes are just so funny and omg I cried a lot from laughing like crazy.

The thing is: PondPhuwin are REALLY bad actors, Pond it's the worst of them, but Phuwin it's not very good either. Anyways, it works because as I said: IT'S CAMP!

It's funny and they are cute, but I have to say: NeoLouis as DueanMeen totally stole the scene, first OMG DUEAN WAS SO FUNNY SO SO FUNNY and Meen it's just SO CUTE, I wanted to hug him like a baby the whole time.

In resume: It's good because it's camp and they made very good use of being silly and ridiculous, I watched really fast because it's so easy to watch, it's really good for when you're not in mind to watch something more dark or with more issues, when you just want laugh and being silly a little hihi.

PS.: Louis OST it's so good..

A Silly Little Drama

So apparently I had watched this when it first came out and rated it 3 stars... but I decided to rewatch it because I am in my PondPhuwin era lol and I actually had no recollection of this drama at all so it felt like the first time watching it. I will say I made a note when I watched it for the first time back in 2021 that I couldn't get past the cultural appropriation in ep4 which is still valid, I skipped through those scenes this time around.

I thought the cast executed this drama really well, it's just a fun unserious show that had me laughing every episode. I love Neo so much and I thought he portrayed Duean perfectly, and his whole gang of friends played off each other really well. Pond and Phuwin really have had chemistry from their very first drama cause the way Mork was pining after Pi throughout the whole show had me blushing right along side him. Is it a PondPhuwin curse that they don't get together till the very last episode??? because damn I thought there was gonna be 16 or 24 episodes when I started ep12 and they weren't even official yet lol.

I think this was a fine drama, not a very high rewatch value for me but I still enjoyed the lighthearted comedy that this provided.

BLs and comedies....good try I guess!

Cute and cheesy university BL (where the leads aren't engineers?!). The overall plot was fairly uninteresting unfortunately, because the main characters spend so much time fighting over...nothing? PondPhuwin is a great pair though (and NeoLouis of course). I honestly only watched this because I'm still waiting for the new episodes of Never Let Me Go.

Pi has had a crush on Nan for a long time but has never had the courage to say anything since he knows Nan is way out of his league. But after a ~makeover~ he finally gains the confidence to approach him. However, Mork is always with Nan, giving Pi no room to be alone with him. Pi continuously gets annoyed at Mork, who always seems to be in his way, until he realizes it's actually Mork who he has feelings for.

Mork and Pi would have been great together if Pi didn't spend the entire series convincing himself he only liked Nan and didn't have feelings for Mork. It took them FOREVER to be into each other. Why must the "cheesy romance" BLs never have much of the actual cheesy romance, and instead be so much fighting and arguing over things that never further the plot? The scenes where they were flirting/actually together were so fun and cute, but there are so few of these that it makes watching this one less fun.

I remember I watch this show every week until it's final episode. honestly speaking, this series was a light and fluffy one, a great series for you who like enemies-to-lovers troupe and want something light to watch. If we're talking about the acting, I think Phuwin's acting are better in here than in his new series. I feel like this kind of character suits him more. Still, I don't think his acting was that great, but i've seen worse, so...it was not good but not that bad. but I'm surprised by Pond's good acting, especially since this was his first main role. His character in his new series was very nice too. GMM did a great job to pick him as one of their talent. his suuuuper talented in acting.
I would recommend this for someone who's looking for something that's cute and sweet and for someone who wants to watch a BL series for the first time.

Watch it once for the actors

There are many things I liked and the same amount of things that I didnt. I dont regret watching it because the chemistry between characters is really sweet, as to be expected, but the show tends to be pretty cheesy. I like that they break the fourth wall a lot but there a a few frustrating/cringe moments as a viewer. I will say the intimate moments are actually really cute/sexy even if they were brought about in pretty forced ways. Pond (Mork) is amazing as always. And of course i will watch anything with Pond and Phuwin together at least once. The relationship between Neo and Louis characters are also just as cute as the main characters. And any chance i get to see Mix in a series I'll take it, even if he isnt really a main character.

I love the name of the drama "Fish upon sky"

Honestly, this drama pretty much reached my expectations except in the last few episodes when P's behaviour started to irritate me a little bit. He was an insecure character for sure that's why he would always say he didn't deserve to date Mork or someone like him should not date Mork at some extent it was understandable but afterwards it started to annoy me how seriously he started to take comments of people on social media like Mork was telling and consoling him that he loves him but he just shut him up and choose to listen to someone online, pretty much annoying to me but that makes him quite realistic cause shit like this is happening to this generation.
I hated both of the shippers like they were so creepy and I liked how Pi stood up for his privacy and that was probably the most sensible thing he ever did in the drama.
Overall there were some things that I didn't like about Pi but I think I must have to say that despite his little annoying traits, I found him pretty wholesome and adorable and in the end, we got his character development which was I think great.

And speaking about Mark I think he is a little complex to break down. We are not going to ignore the fact that he did invade Pi's privacy and even when he was not admitting his feelings for Mork he just kept insisting to him that he would make him fall which I think is somewhat toxic behaviour and just by reading other reviews I realised Mork was somewhere a stalker. Another thing that I think I didn't like about him is how writers tried to make him the perfect flawless character which turns out to be pretty unrealistic I quite liked his calming nature but his stalking this and trying to force Pi's feelings for him despite his denial just kinda ruin him for being "THE CHARACTER" for me, I hope that makes sense. And talking about his female friend she was a keeper, I quite adored her until she came up with her crush and shit like you can't convince me that it didn't look forced. Writers just write that thing down to create some tension before ending and in my opinion, it didn't work but what else we can expect from a cheesy bl.

Coming to the second lead I find their relationship more realistic than the first lead and I love how much we got Duean's character development there wasn't any unnecessary drama and misunderstanding which I love and their clear communication with each other made the relationship more healthy.

Lastly, I find Duean's friends pretty hilarious as they added the extra flavour to drama just by doing some random ass stuff but I think they were awesome and great.

Overall the drama was pretty entertaining and full of fluff even you cannot expect some mind-blowing storyline, plot or character complexity but for me, it was worth watching and I love the drama's sense of humour like definitely going to be one of the dramas with my favourite comedic elements.

You can’t spell pissing me off without Pi

WHELP. That was a show, for sure. No denying that.

Acting:

It was alright given the absolutely horrid roles and story that was provided. For their roles, their acting was solid, can’t really complain too much about that aspect. They were clearly asked to be a bit odd for the most part and they delivered on that.

Writing:

Okay… It was fine at the beginning, nothing revolutionary, but still a decent start. Then it just went from like 75 to 0 so quickly and never got back up to speed. That was ROUGH. Everyone in this show pissed me off except Nan. Pi was a middle schooler, Mork was a flat character with little to no backbone and his decision making skills were trash, the brother was entirely unlikeable, Meen was boring, etc. I don’t see how I was supposed to root for anyone in this show. If anything, I was rooting for Mork to fall for someone else and Nan to find the love of his life. The script was rough overall too. I feel like I was fighting against this becoming a hate watch by episode 8, because I wanted it to be better. Honestly, why did we make the main character have the same ability to deal with their emotions as a 13 year old with self-esteem issues. And this was based on an edited and published piece of literature???

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

They had a little chemistry, as much as you could get with a story like this I guess. The real issue is that this is a HORRIBLY executed romance overall. The kissing was fine, nothing really to note about it.

Music/SFX:

Music was good, nothing stood out as odd. SFX were mostly fine.

I am so very disappointed in this. I wanted it to be good, I really did. I like the actors a lot and the concept well enough, but WOW this was a rough watch.

Now, for some highlights from my notes:

- Mix, my beloved
- I get it. If Mix smiled at me I would instantly fall in love as well
- This calls for a MAKEOVERRRR
- Cyberbullying people you know in college in the year 2021 is so wild and cringe like what
- You printed out his fb profile pic and put it above your bed??? Bruh
- Satang so cuuuuuute
- Istg if they keep interrupting the main plot with this fuckass brother’s story I’m gonna snap
- Ahhhh the secondhand embarrassment is getting to meeee
- Bro is delusional, seek help
- This little stalker creep
- If someone’s reaction to my confession was “I don’t think you actually do” I would probably spiral real hard
- Nan such a good guy
- I can’t stress enough how much I don’t care about the brother’s story
- “I can be your vaccine” is so goofy, what are we doing lmao
- Why is everyone so creepy and nosy
- What in the world, these are some real saesangs
- I wish we had some background on Mork, his character is pretty flat
- Pi is getting on my last nerve here
- Does he have a kind heart, though…? He’s childish and selfish in every possible way
- Enter female character A whose only purpose is to cause MC to be jealous
- Everyone pissing me off rn
- Girly is more annoying than Pi somehow
- This jealousy plotline is so absolutely annoying and dumb
- This went off the rails real quick, huh
- Nan always in the middle of things
- Pi seems like he’d be a really shitty boyfriend, though
- I don’t see how all of that made you fall for him
- I’m team let Pi be lonely and get Mork a fitting partner at this point
- We love a ridiculous group dance moment
- Ugh a probational love contract
- They both pissing me off
- This dropped off a couple episodes in and never recovered
- Let’s switch this up to Mork x Nan, I’m done with this Pi character
- Not the brothers in love with each other’s brother trope
- Bro has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old and the general maturity of a 16 year old
- Both brothers suck
- Not only did he not reach out and say happy birthday, but he’s also being a dick
- Can’t spell piece of shit without Pi
- Mork the masochist ig
- Mork needs a backbone fr
- ABSOLUTELY hate this fanclub situation especially being at the birthday party
- Why isn’t Nan a this party? I miss his face
- What is this bullying plot…? Why isn’t Mork doing anything…? Why are these people at the party…?
- Obviously Mork didn’t post that shit why are we being dumb
- This is a middle school plot 100%
- Now girly is the villain this is DUMB
- This is the plan…?
- So many birds and fish were killed in the making of this
- Nan go get your star bb
- Oooh a time skip
- *ka-ka-karma's a bitch*
- 2 years together and they still act like this

Love the onscreen chemistry but I hate the slow burn

I love this show! I took off a star because of that one scene with serious cultural appropriation. I took another 1/2 a star off because of the slow burn (like I was dying from anticipation) and the fact that they weren't "together" for as long as I would have wanted. id prefer if there was another episode where nothing bad happens and it was just sappy romance. I loved their (pi & mork) awkward tension they had before the relationship and during their relationship. My favorite part was like the last 20 minutes of episode 12 where everyone (all the people who have been crushing on each other) confessed to one another/finally accepted their true feeling for one another and kissed.

I Met My Stalker While Stalking My Crush, And Now We're A Couple

New title: “I Met My Stalker While Stalking My Crush, And Now We're A Couple”, this series is basically a tale of how two stalkers became a couple

Watching this the 2nd times feels different. i didn’t remember it to be this funny phuwin’s voice over is funny too lmao and I laughing so hard like how he described himself as wisdom tooth, I never heard that type of self degression before as a dental student myself, i cringed so hard lmaoo.

This series also gives a whole new meaning to secondhand embarrassment like holy sh!t it's on a whole other level, there is not even a single braincell available in this group of friends. Wan takes 80% of the brain cells, Pi takes 20% and Duean -_-. AND I SWEAR THE CREATORS OF THIS SERIES ARE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN PUTTING A LOT OF OTHER BL REFERENCES.

And I also like how this series addressed the shipping culture in the entertainment industry. People need to realise that privacy needs to be respected at all costs, i’m so glad they used the words “harass” and “unsafe” because YES that is exactly what is happening. It’s incredibly creepy, stalkerish behavior, and I’m glad this show is talking about it.
