They didn't abbreviated it neither. The title was never A tale of a thousand stars. This is just the translation from the original Thai title. But the English title was already decided some time ago to be 1000 Stars, but the international fans kept saying A tale of a thousand stars. If you go to the official Instagram page of the series, you can scroll down and see that they have been using the tag 1000 Stars for a while.
Although I don't like GMM plots either, I don't understand your frustration. Since the teaser we already knew…
Well, in your first comment you said that you liked the teaser and now you admit that you didn't watch it fully. As I said: everybody already knew the plot before because: 1) we watched the teaser. 2) It is based on a novel.
I am just surprised that you waited for this series for so long and you neither cared to read about the story nor watched the teaser.
Unpopular opinion: I expected the production to be better than this. I don't know why, but I thought that they would use a movie-style camera. I was expecting a beautiful photography and cinematography, but it looks like a generic GMM production... The same gray-like filter that we see in all university plots.
I also didn't like the mention of the word "wife". I believe we should move on and stop with these annoying stereotypes.
I hope they don't follow the "I don't like boys, I like only you because of your new heart" path, but I am not that hopeful.
Well, let's see how it is going to be. I will give it a try.
i'm so dissapointed from the trailer because Ive waited so long for this drama because on the teaser it looks…
Although I don't like GMM plots either, I don't understand your frustration. Since the teaser we already knew that Phupha is apparently straight but falls for Tia because of the heart connection. There is nothing new about it. Most BLs are indeed stereotyped, even Cherry Magic (that I suppose you like because of your profile picture) has that annoying Seme/uke division that I don't like. It seems we have the same problem here. A strong and masculine seme and a smaller and delicate uke. Not surprised at all, but I thought that the production would be better than this.
I will give you an example of what I am saying and you can comment if you agree or not. Befote the algorithm changings, I told sunset about you, Gaya Sa Pelikula and Cherry Magic had much higher scores than TharnType. TT is a show that is controversial for its rape and toxic relatioship issues. So, many people give it low scores. Now, TT has the same score as GSP and CM, even though these two shows have undeniably better evaluation from the audience. ITSAY now has only 0.2 points ahead of TT. If you compare TT with CM and ITSAY on Douban, the difference is huge. 9,1 and 9,3 for CM and ITSAY respectively. TT has only 8,5.
If you check IMDB, the difference is similar.
Do you know why this happen? I am not sure, but I have some ideas. First, because they don't take into account the votes of the droppers. I dropped TT because I could not take the rape plot and how the show connects pedophilia and homosexuality. I imagine that most of the low scores of TT come from droppers, so the series tend to be privileged by the new score system.
Second, because they seem to give more weight to older and popular shows. The more watchers, the best. The Korean shows have all rised in the Top Ranked List, while other series from other countries have dropped.
Now we have this strange situation, where a show that is criticized by sizeable part of the audience for its plot, has the same rating as others who are much more acclaimed.
PS: TT2 has the same score as ITSAY and higher scores than GSP.
ITSAY and MoD saved Thai BLs from the catastrophe in 2020.
Everything you described is the same seme/uke dynamics. Letting the other define the pace is a Seme thing. Many yaoi stories are like that. It is a very classic Yaoi story. The gender roles are there, extremely defined, although there is no rape. We have even the classic scene where the seme saves the uke from agressors on the street. The uke needs to be a bit stupid and don't react to any agresion and wait for the seme to save him. This kind of scene only exists for Fujoshi pleasure. They don't portray LGBTQ seriously. How many gays do you know who would accept being assaulted on the streets and wait for someone to save them? So, gay boys, even the girly ones, they cannot defend themselves? The girl on the scene cannot do anything except ask for help? Very stereotyped. The seme saves the uke and the girl from the bad guys. Classic.

Yeah, I know that, and I am saying that their rating system is not reliable and lacks transparency. It seems they tried to give more weight to older and classic series and they invented this "manipulation votes" thing. Although I know manipulation might happen, this is not the main reason for the drop of the ratings. They changed their system to give more weight to popular shows, which favored korean dramas over other countries.

I really don't believe it is manipulation only. The ratings here are lower than all the other sites. Compare MDL with Douban (Chinese website) and IMDB.
MDL ratings are now about 0.8 to 1.0 point lower than IMDB and Douban.
They just destroyed their own rating system. Now, I really cannot trust this website anymore.

About fetish, you can fetishizes about anything. It doesn't need to be a kiss. Fetish is about imagination, you don't even need to show, just suggest.
If we want to stop fetishizers, we need to stop making BLs, because they will do it anyway.
