Star and Sky: Star in My Mind

I have both similar reactions to both shows. It is well-acted drama without a lot of plot. Both take place in the university setting. Both are directed by P'New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul and written by Inthira Thanasarnsurit

Both are Thai BLs with a focus on star(s) and a love story between two classmates. Both have a similar vibe.

Both of these dramas center around leads with long-term secret crushes, and the secret flirtation they have unbeknownst to their friend group. Said friend groups are also eccentric and goofy.

Star in My Mind is the first part of the Star and Sky series. If you are planning on watching Sky in Your Heart, I recommend watching Star in My Mind first to get a bit of background info on the characters. This show is centered around a different couple, but they are from the same universe.

The pining, the long term crushes but inability to confess, the pain of wanting to move on but the inability to do so, the miscommunication, one leaving abroad, the pain of someone making you wait for years. Also there are pretty silly things in common, eiw and dao have quite a lot of people interested in them, the time skip from high to uni even thiugh the focus is different, kluea and cake both had a gf, while eiw and dao may have suffered a lot throughout, kluea and cake fall hard when they fall in love and both seem hnable to clmmunciate while everyone else has understood the bond and love

School setting BLs with a similar tone and pacing.
