Star and Sky: Star in My Mind

Star and Sky

Okay.... Umm Star and Sky

Well, Cool cast, the main actors are cute, well the storyline sounds cool but i mean it something we've all watched before but this has potential 😊
The intro of the series, i don't like it, the painting intro 👎👎The friends seem funny. It seems like there's gonna be love triangle 😁😁😁

It actually nice to see family faces from UWMA (until we meet again)

Room for improvement
It seems the last scene was a dream, if i want there to be a change, it will be the theme song

Still watching tho but i like it 😊😊😊

Typical BL and almost borderline of Cringe + Boring

I have so much high expectation of this since the director is New but it almost disappoint me a little bit after the climax of the plot. I mean I understand how Kluen's character were supposed to be but honestly, I wish he could show more expression like how he is so frustrated at himself for not knowing how to expression his feelings better. The tears I am seeing is not enough, its not sufficient. Joong is like a doll who produce tears but thats it. I'm not sure if its his acting or Kluen's character is really like that but I wish there is something more you know? I am really glad its just 8 episodes cause if its 12 episodes, bruh, i might die out of bored. I wish there are more heart throbbing scenes where Kluen is the one that help Dao with his assignments or take care of him in secret but its just blergh. I am a little bit disappointed to be honest but the way the plot develop before it reaches their climax really good. I feel so frustrated and Kluen for not saying anything so I guess that's good, right?

I HATE DAO'S CHARACTER SO MUCH. Okay for someone that have a crush, he surely doesn't act like it. He looks like Kluen is the one that been chasing him. I mean there is no love in their relationship. Something is just NOT IT. When your crush said they like you back, shouldn't you feel butterflies or feel joy overload? But Dao is just.. oh okay. Nice, bruh. Like????? If you want to know how you were supposed to react, you really should watch 2 Moons ( the first one ) and the way Wayo shows how much he likes Phana really portrays how someone should act with their crush. But Dao? Not feeling it. I am sorry but I think they can do better than this because I like seeing them together but.. what is this???

JUSTICE FOR TYPHOON. WHERE IS THE SIDE PAIRING???? I mean okay fine there is side pairing but why must it be Fah x Prince??? UM HELLO??? TYPHOON DESERVES LOVE TOO LIKE WTF IS GOING ON????? Im sad.

KISS SCENES? LIKE BRUH. I feel so disappointed with their kiss scenes. Like WHAT IS THIS BRUHHH???? Kiss scenes are like what? 3 - 5 scenes only? But it's more like a peck and not like a real kiss. I don't feel it. Im sorry but I just don't. What is going on and why aren't they kiss passionately? Like fuck that shit 'we have innocent love'. BRUH. The kiss is just merely pressing against each other lips that's it. Im sorry but i am not loving it.

Overall, I think good actors, so-so plot, disappointing plot development.

Not a very likeable MC

This has happened before where I liked every other character except the main characters. In my case, that would be Dao. The little bantering moments between him and Kleun, when they met again, were funny and nice to watch. Their friends/roommates added to the overall enjoyment of watching the series. I didn't like Typhoon that much because he reminds me of those 'try-hard and can't take the obvious no' for an answer. While Dao never rejected him, he knew and kept ignoring the signs and was all up in Dao's space.

The character I felt was the most wronged in this series was Kleun. He never rejected Dao but rather was unable to explain himself. That's something he struggles with, expressing his feelings, which is actually related since I am very much like Kleun. Their roommates and friends could see the obvious feelings the two have for each other except Dao and this kept making him see Kleun as the bad guy whenever he couldn't put into words what Dao wanted to hear. I felt like Kleun was the one trying the most while Dao kept messing things up.

The way he reacted when Kleun got a call from a distressed Gia and making him choose at that moment was too much. Feelings and ex-girlfriend status aside, that was still Kleun's friend who obviously needed help at that moment. There was no time to feel hurt but rather to feel like a human and try to understand. Instead, he accepted to be Phoon's boyfriend for the day. Which obviously didn't end well. And this is another reason why I do not like Phoon. There were so many ways to show Kleun what they talked to him about but instead chose an option that made everything even more messy.

In all honesty, I kept watching because of Kleun as I wanted him to have a happy ending as well as Fah.

This a Good BL

This not a great BL it's a good BL. It could have been great because the casting was very strong. Especially the secondary characters. I almost wish...well any of the secondary characters would have been a better Dao. Maybe it was the premise of the series, someone who had a crush on someone so they secretly did school assignments for them??? At first I was like ok (?) maybe there's more to it, but no that didn't happen. I did think there was chemistry between the main couple but it wasn't hot and passionate, but it did seem like they liked and cared for each other. Funny thing was it seemed to me that Khab liked Dao more, or it was more obvious. Anyway there are a lot of good aspects to this BL. Best award goes to Joong a Khab and best support goes to Pepper as Phoon. Dunk was ok as Dao I just didn't really take to him or the character. Yes it could be scripting and direction issue for sure. Again I must say that the support cast was all very strong and likeable. Over all a good watch. Note I didn't say great, but it could have been.

A simple story but executed so badly

This gotta be the most basic ass series I have watched in a long time. So the story is a story old as time. Boy likes boy, boy tired of chasing boy, boy tries to get over the other boy but the now the other boy wants him and tries to get him back. So how did they ruin such a basic ass plot? There is one thing that I hate in this series. Its the lack of consent. Its 2022 and people still try pass kissing without consent romantic or acceptable in a series. NO, its not cute and it would never would be. Another thing that I hate is the dragging. It drags the story much with the misunderstandings. Like if the Kluen actually spoke and use his words even once it would have ended so many episodes ago. Now the acting.... to be honest, I like Dunk but boi his acting was kinda bad..The parts where he had to get emotional like being angry and crying were especially weird. I would laugh since I couldn't tell if he was about to sneeze or cry lol. GMMTV need to stop hiring actors for lead role if they cannot act, just because they are attractive doesn't cut it. I do hope he get better tho, cause I like Dunk and Joong's chemistry. The music is nice have no complains whats over. Joong has a nice voice. Now the rewatch value is high cause there are alot of cute moments. Overall, it was not bad not good but just ok. It started out nice but felt flat in the middle. So if want to watch this series just watch it but do not expect anything.

Mediocre but could be worse

Overall I think that this series is incredibly mediocre, there's nothing unique to this that I can't find in another Thai BL series. I had watched Hidden Agenda as it came out and honestly enjoyed it, though that series wasn't that much different than this one but I think it just had more too it overall. Neither main character was compelling at all I think they're both pretty generic BL characters.
Favorite episode was 8 for sure. Khabkluen wore a shirt that said "Farmer Snake" which is absolutely amazing and had to make it the best. Other than that.... I still think its my favorite its a very sweet and romantic episode that I think could just be the series in one short episode. Bring in some flash backs and some of the argument and bam it would be the whole plot in an hours time.

Watch this for another drama of Joong Archen Aydin & Dunk Natachai Boonprasert. But like almost all our skyy 2 series. This one turn out have their own stupidity too...

Tell story about Daonuea & Khabkluen. Daonuea had a crush on Khabkluen in high school and confessed his feelings before he go to Germany for study. However, he was rejected & had his heart broken. Now in University, Daonuea meet again with Khabkluen & later on also has Khabkluen as his dormmates. How will they story evolved...?

Ok... Now what i like first, cause the stupid thing or minus point as usual has spoiler...
+ Weirdly enough, for me the chemistry between Joong Archen Aydin & Dunk Natachai Boonprasert better in here than in Hidden Agenda. I wonder what happen between this drama & Hidden Agenda, is the actor relationship themselves that get strain or what...
+ Really like how Khabkluen & Daonuea express their feeling through their eyes. I really can feel their pain.

What I don't like:
- All the character is stupid when it comes to love. Like how Typhoon & Phaphaeng 'force' to be with Daonuea. Or how Khabkluen insisted to hide his feelings for Daonuea.

Overall this actually quite good & interesting story. Unfortunately they have stupid plot. So i can't give higher score than 6.5*

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

Stupid thing:
- Why Khabkluen need to hide his feeling in the first place never get explained. I think at first it cause Khabkluen don't want to have long distance relationship with Daonuea. But unfortunately they never really explained to us the why...
- they never give us the good background story of Khabkluen & Daonuea. Like how Daonuea fall in love at Khabkluen. How can Daonuea first start to make art assignments for Khabkluen & how stupid that teacher never find out, or do they find out & what happen. How can Khabkluen fall in love at Daonuea. See this all need some answer but they never really explained

Why, just why?

This title has many interesting and well written characters, that dont have enough screen time. Chen's character is quite interesting as well. But thats about it.
The "plot" would fit into 2 episodes and it has more holes then swiss cheese. Dao is somehow the most beautifull person under the sun and everybody seems to fall in love with him out of nowhere. The time is very badly shown, so you feel like everything happed in one week, but it is months. Dao and K. were waiting multiple years to get together, but when they do, Dao is like "omg, you already kisses me three times, thats enough." Do they not know young boys at all?
Also, some of the conversations happen multiple times without any reason. You get a lot of eye staring with slow music, that is just funny, because they have these "special moments" all the time. You get multiple shots with dramatic music for just hand grap.
Dao is boring, the show is boring. At least some of the friends are HOT and funny.

Also - wth was the "ending". If you dont like yourself, watch this.

If only they talked to each other

Ok is the series cute sure... is it also incredibly annoying and hits all the cliches and OML just talk already? Also yes.
It's one of those BLs that the actor's chemistry couldn't save, Joong and Dunk have amazing chemistry and I like watching them act together but even that couldn't save this.
The script is another one without a lot of substance, two guys fall in love and proceed to ignore any type of proper communication and make us suffer through too many misunderstandings. Also, the character Typhoon is incredibly annoying and I couldn't stand him the entire show.
And the end scene with Daonuea brother came out of the left field I guess they just wanted a reason for a sequel but damn was it really necessary?

The phrase "idiots in love" took on a whole new meaning in this series

This show has been on my "to-watch" list for over a year, but I didn't have a chance to actually sit down and watch it until a month ago, and... well...

Ever heard of the phrase "idiots in love?" In this series, Dao and Kluen were idiots and then some. One is a dummy who harbors a secret crush , while the other is a blockhead who has trouble expressing his feelings. The two go to the same school, and are in love with each other, but both are too scared to admit it.

They seemed destined to never cross paths, until one day, when Dao was about to leave to study abroad. Encouraged by his best friend, he confessed his feelings to Kluen.

Kluen response? "Have a safe flight."

*Facepalm*

Nontheless, Dao took that as a sign of rejection and was devastated, and left Thailand with a broken heart.

A year later, Dao returned to Thailand for college, and lo and behold, who did he see? Kluen, the very same guy who (in his POV) rejected him. Bad enough that they had to take part in the school pageant together, but they also had to live in the same dorm for the duration of the competition.

Clearly, someone forgot to check their horoscope that morning. (j/k)

Thus begin a "second chance" type of love, in which Dao tries to forget his "unrequited love" for Kluen and simply be his friend, while Kluen does everything (from being helpful to just downright possessive) to get close to him. That is, everything short of confessing his feelings.

I rarely have a love/hate relationship with a series, but this one falls under that category. Watching this show was like going on a rollercoaster ride. My emotions went from "awwww, that's so sweet" to "FFS, just kiss already!" to "why am I wasting my time on this show?" to "it's about d**n time someone does something" to "Jesus effing Christ, can you two be any dumber?"

There is something about the way Dao and Kluen interact that makes the whole angsty love journey very realistic, and you can't help but root for them. At some point, it becomes obvious to everyone (but Dao) that Kluen was hopelessly in love with him. I mean, the guy used his mom's birthday to lure him to his house. And really? Did Dao seriously think he changed his own bandage and applied the ointment while he was drunk? *smh

On the other hand, the pace of the story is somewhat erratic. The beginning and middle were fine, but then towards the end, everything became rushed. The conflict, resolving of the conflict, and the love confession all happened within two episodes. It's as if the screenwriters realized they'd taken up 6 episodes with the storyline, and not wanting to cut anything out, simply wrapped up the story quickly.

Despite everything, Star in my Mind is a decent series. Sadly, character development was poorly written, but I think it had to do with the fact that the series only had 8 episodes. The acting is not bad, but if Dunk and Joong want to keep up with their fellow GMMTV artists they'd need to step it up. Maybe take some acting classes. The one saving grace of this show would be the OST. These two should form a duo and aim for the music market. Their vocals are so well-matched.

Overall, this series is not bad, but it's not particularly good, either. Compared with other BL series that aired in 2022, and the ones that are currently airing this year, there are many better options. Hopefully, JoongDunk's acting would improve in the future.

The fastest relationship that somehow still moved at snail pace.

This is that sort of BL that you just watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon in between any heavy dramas you're watching. It had a simple story. No angst, no drama. Just two guys having pure love, while one of them was slowly completing a harem. EVERYONE wanted Dao and I just found him to be the blandest character ever. I also couldn't get past Joong being this stoic character with resting bitch face most of the time.

Yes, it does get boring after a while because well...nothing really happens. It's 8 episodes of heavy stares, mini kisses and one guy being too cowardly to express his feelings and yet, for 8 short episodes, they somehow found a way to make it the slowest moving romance ever and just dragged it out until episode 7. The side characters didn't really serve any purpose, just for comic relief.

That's basically it about the drama. If you like this kind of simple and pure love BL, then it's right up your alley.

Crazy little thing called love but gay

If you remember the famous Mario Maurer movie crazy little thing called love, then you have got the storyline. It's pretty much the same except no one is "ugly" and has a glow up. There's nothing much to say about the storyline. It's pretty much bland.

But there are very much good things about the series. Firstly Chen. Wow. 2moons never did justice to his skills and acting. His golden skin was shining. He played the character of a socially awkward, introverted guy reallllyyy well. The guy who played Daoneua is also a good actor. But as usual their kisses were awkward. Mainly Daoneua was awkward. Except that their very few interaction in the whole series was pretty cute and sweet.

The guy who played Maitee. I watched one of his series where he was a serious studious guy. But this character suits him more. I hope I'd get to see him in this kind of free fun guy more. Overall it was good. The ratings are fair. There were so many familiar faces as well. Good for one time binge watch. Also, you can skip some scenes and still will understand everything.
