4th story
Finally another drama of Fourever You on our screen. Let’s discuss drama…
The Sun from Another Star follows Daotok, an introverted art student who carries both the blessing and curse of a lifelong ability: he can see and communicate with ghosts.
The story begins when Daotok moves into a new condo after securing an unbelievable 70% discount on the rent. The catch? The building is heavily haunted, filled with noisy spirits constantly throwing tantrums. Since Daotok isn’t afraid of ghosts—and desperately needs a place where he can keep his cat—he accepts the deal without hesitation.
Living next door is Arthit, a medical student who is Daotok’s complete opposite. Arthit is arrogant, hot-tempered, impulsive, and very much an extroverted “bad boy.”
Initially irritated by each other, their paths constantly cross, especially since they are the only two living residents on the entire floor. They begin interacting more because of a ghost named Donut. Once Arthit’s friend, Donut asks him to uncover the truth behind his death, leading Arthit to turn to Daotok for help.
Behind Arthit’s tough and reckless exterior lies a deep, suffocating grief over the loss of his mother. Donut’s unresolved spirit makes Arthit wonder if his mother’s soul is also trapped somewhere, unable to move on. After discovering Daotok’s ability to communicate with ghosts, Arthit desperately asks for his help in finding her.
Reluctantly—and after much persuasion from Arthit and his friend North—Daotok agrees. Together, they begin searching for Arthit’s mother’s missing soul.
As they spend more time together, the two gradually grow closer emotionally. Arthit slowly realizes just how drawn he is to Daotok, though he remains afraid to admit his feelings or let himself fall in love. Daotok, meanwhile, has built thick emotional walls around himself after being deeply betrayed by his first love.
So in the end, how will these two boys find the courage to take a step toward love?
That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't (especially the difference from the book).
What I like:
+ Ngern & Oat played Arthit & Daotok beautifully. So fit for their role…
+ Happy to see the gank again…
+ They change how obsessed Arthit with Daotok... Like for example: the moment Daotok live in Arthit's room, instead because Arthit kidnap Daotok, they made it because Daotok have no other choice due to electricity in his room
+ Seeing how protective Jo is toward North—he won’t let anyone even raise their voice at him.
What I don’t too like:
- The chemistry between Ngern & Oat not so much… I don’t know how to put this into words…
- They erase and change several important scenes from the book that in my opinion make the story better…
- They changed the music—specifically the song Arthit was supposed to create. Haha. And honestly, the drama didn’t really capture how huge the song was supposed to be or how it suddenly made Arthit famous overnight.
Overall I am really happy this was on the screen… Below I’ll write about important scenes from the book they change / erase. So if you don’t wanna know just stop reading here…
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
The changes:
* The most disappointing change is the scene where Arthit is supposed to be abducted after the race. Instead of an actual kidnapping, the drama turns it into a weak “accident” that leaves Arthit heavily injured. Honestly, I don’t even think the incident shown would realistically cause injuries as severe as the drama suggests. The original scene was meant to feel far more intense and nerve-wracking, allowing us to truly see Daotok’s panic and realize just how important Arthit has become to him. For me, Studio Wabi Sabi chose the safer route by heavily toning down the violence from the series.
* They also removed Daotok’s background story. Of course, I’m talking about Daotok’s high school days—when he was bullied and how he dealt with it. I understand why the drama chose to leave it out, but I still think showing a little of that part of his past would’ve added more depth to his character.
* Arthit’s inner struggle as he tries to deny that he has fallen for Daotok. In the book, we can truly see how deeply Arthit struggles with his feelings.
* The room is too big. Haha... When I read the book I imagine is like studio apartments. Not 1 bedroom...
* Direk reaction not so fun. In the book more extravagant, like he literally shock Arthit can love someone... Honestly kinda wait for his reaction, instead I just get usual expression...
* The moment Arthit talk to Daotok's dad on the phone, said he want Daotok be his 'wife'
