Like the picture for Amber’s actor on MDL doesnt look like him - but the way the character is styled in the episodes and posters does. Perhaps its the face shape combined with that particular hair part?

Am i the only one who thinks Amber looks kinda like Meng Yao from Untamed?

Its on Gagaoolala

You're My Sky's comment section has been pretty aggressive lately as well.
Like post your critiques, but don't tear everyone else down who is genuinely enjoying it.

Apparently the filming location is Assumption University of Thailand. Very gorgeous.

Yea, for real. Specialists tend to forget a lot of the general stuff/stuff from outside of their field. And even general doctors aren't all they're cracked up to be. My family doctor would never discuss my periods with me, they sent me straight to OB.

Well first, there were many people angry at the time jumps in Bad Buddy. But there always are.

The difference is, Bad Buddy only utilized two notable time jumps, and only one of them left you feeling like you skipped over something - which was quickly rectified with a flashback montage. And it was the one that was done with very clear artistic intent - to play with the audience.

In You're My Sky, we've had 4 or 5 time skips
- the vacation between Aii and San (which skipped over how they wound up on that trip, and when Aii finally accepted his feelings to himself)
- the surgery, Dom break-up, and presumably when the team let Thorn and Fah know they knew about the relationship.
- the move-in, Vee and Dom starting to talk again, and Aii planning his departure and making his decision not to leave
- and Thorn approaching Tuan, doing PT, moving out, and Fah finding out he left.
(and I think i'm missing one, but I can't be sure)

Every single one of which left us confused as to what happened between. And each of them skipped major plot or relationship dynamic moments that wouldve helped with audience immersion into the story, and connection/understanding of the characters and their decisions. As a character-driven writer and reader who prides myself of understanding characters with minimal screen time or dialogue, Aii gives me whiplash. I know what the writers might be trying to do, but absolutely NONE of it is shown. It makes us audience members feel like we're going through the same lack of communication problems as the characters - which doesn't seem to be the purpose of these choices, or it would have been done differently.

And (except for that last one) they left us wondering how much time had passed as they weren't clearly labeled. You had to piece it together through various different moments of dialogue (which runs the risk of translation problems, by the way), and some didn't even have that.

The problem here is the amount of time skips, the moments they are choosing to skip, the proximity of them to each other, and the way they are established.

And while Thorn is justified in feeling upset, and does seem to be at least trying to open up communication with Fah, he needs to show better understanding of how important and time-consuming this is. He should know very well, considering their past tries to get into a big-name team, and preparing their university team. He should have established a goal that after Fah gets in, they will go on a date. Plus, communicate what he's feeling, because only then could they work something out. Letting your partner know you are feeling down does not mean you are trying to take them down with you.

And stop being impatient - the impatience only fueled Fah's guilt and resultant withdrawal. If he wanted to still do something, help run drills, be the team manager, be the coach's assistant. Practice or train throwing/dribbles - exercises that wouldn't involve his legs. Research other teams/past games. Recruit new players. It's not the same, but it keeps you from doing nothing, and could help you feel like you are doing something. Not to mention, he should have been doing physical therapy even without Tuan.

And the fact that in the preview he is full on disrespecting his coach in that game by consulting Tuan instead. Absolutely livid. Any athlete knows you dont do that. It shows that in his impatience, and anger, he is ignoring his morals and loyalty. And the fact that he moved out without even telling Fah - tsk tsk.

Fah is constantly feeling guilty and uncomfortable, and believes that the way to solve that is avoiding the topic - something that is very in character for him throughout the series, but shows that he is not growing as a character. And he purposefully let Thorn believe those morning practices were required and team-wide. You're telling me that in that almost a month between try-outs and the decision, he couldn't take off ONE morning to take care of his boyfriend who he knew was in a depressed mood and missing him? It shows his priorities. Not to mention, one-on-ones were always their thing, even leading to jealousy earlier in the series from Fah - so it should have at the very least been brought up.

At this point, I don't think there's any saving Thorn and Fah's relationship. It was built almost entirely from their mutual interest in basketball - so it was easy to fall apart the second they weren't on that journey together. And they REPEATEDLY have trouble communicating with each other, even after they acknowledge that they need to. I think this is one of those relationships where they learn from it and move on with other relationships. It's not healthy for either of them.

Apparently people did - but perhaps because they didnt know about the subtext going in and that made a difference. I'm sorry that it wasnt your cup of tea. Hopefully you find shows that more fit your interests.

I see you already watched Douluo Continent. So perhaps a Condor Heroes adaptation? They were considered some of the most well-known Wuxia titles before The Untamed and Word of Honor (and in case you didnt know, WoH is even more subtextually queer, so probably not a good fit for you).

I did not think you meant the novel. The novel is not censored. So neither of our comments would make any sense in reference to the novel.

Calling a censored show that had to go around multiple rules and utilize loopholes to give us a subtextually queer story is not, in any way, queerbaiting. All cast and crew members did the best they could do to give us a faithful adaptation while still allowing it to be seen. And if you do not see the difference between queerbaiting (the use of implying queer relationships for the sole purpose of attracting queer audiences, and no other reason) and censorship, then you need to look up history.

Censorship is not queerbaiting.

There's a few users on tiktok translating it, such as @wowcdrama

I haven't grinned or laughed in several episodes. Instead i've been raging at how no one seems to know how to communicate. I know that thats a big problem in real relationships, but surely they could change it up here or there. Even the "I'm incredibly busy" conflict can be boiled down to a lack of communication. Even the "Im worried about being apart from you" can be boiled down to a lack of communication. It just feels incredibly repetitive and depressing.

Definitely agree. Im just so disappointed with the past few episodes. For a lot of things. Ill come back after its done and see if they pick the spirit and energy back up.

Yea, I had to put it on hold several episodes back. It has potential, from what I could see when I was watching, but not enough for me to look forward to it every week. I'll give it another go when it's all finished.

Absolutely! I remember talking with you on tiktok about how Secret Crush On You was triggery for me. I don't generally judge people by what they like or don't like. That's where tastes and experiences come in. It's the behavior people use towards other people when they like or don't like something that aggravates me.

Such talented youngsters.

I hope you all watched the end credit scene. :)
