A Surprisingly Enjoyable, Sweet Romance
I went into Your Sky expecting it not to be particularly suited to me. I generally prefer more emotionally intense stories with older characters, and university romances are rarely what I’m looking for. Somehow, though, this one was enjoyable and didn’t require brain energy.
Thomas and Kong are very believable together as Muenfah and Teerak, and their sweet, shy dynamic was nice. I also really enjoyed the supporting couples, particularly Real and Hia. I adore AuauSave so was excited to see them in this. The show should have spent more time on this couple; they really were much better than the main couple.
The story moves consistently well through the first eleven episodes without any significant stretches where I lost interest. Episode 12 felt like almost everything had already been resolved, leaving the finale with very little needed. Real and Hia did become an official couple in episode 12, though, and since I literally turned this on for AuauSave, I wanted to see RealHia become official so watched the entire episode.
This drama is simply a charming, overly sweet romance with mostly likable characters, good chemistry particularly between Real and Hia, and very few wobbles along the way. I was genuinely surprised that I enjoyed it.
Rak’s father being loudly homophobic in Episode 11 was a bit much. I understand why the writers included it - there wasn’t a lot of conflict in the drama. But I was more than a bit irked the drama made it sound like his homophobia was somehow justified because he “really cares” about his son. When Rak’s mother says “I know you’re disappointed. I am too” I was WTFing. But I thought maybe they would understand the error of their ways but nope. The dad does decide he can tolerate the relationship because it is what makes Rak happy, which is improvement sure, but it still felt like his homophobic outburst was being justified. They even had Fah tell the dad when he asks for forgiveness that there was nothing to forgive because he understands the dad did it all because he loves his son. I’m sorry, what now? Anyway, that was the only part where I was not liking the show.
