Absolutely fantastic show, I will definitely be rewatching it. I so badly wish this was 8 episodes!!!! I didn't really want the show to end. I was skeptical at first bc the whole adopted brothers thing, but it wasn't weird like I was worried it might be. Definitely definitely definitely recommend. I feel in my heart that reading the manhwa is in my future...
The chemistry between the actors was great and I really like that their friends were supportive. As a gay person, sometimes it can be overly sad to see shows where both the family and friends and other people around them are all disapproving. It has a time and place in dramas. It's good to see that representation and it makes for a good plot point, but sometimes it can get overwhelming. So I'm glad this one was more light-hearted in that sense.
This BL series is a masterclass in restraint and emotional precision. In just a handful of episodes, it delivers a story that feels complete, never rushed, yet never indulgent. The characters are refreshingly honest - flawed, tender, and deeply human. Their chemistry simmers in quiet, meaningful ways. Several moments had me holding my breath with anticipation. Ever since seeing Semantic Error, I've been on the hunt for something that even comes close.
This is a beautiful story so far!!! I’m excited to see how it ends. I’m assuming a tragic love story for the main couple but we still have our secondary couple but this is just my guess. I hope they don’t break my heart to bad. 💗
First of all, shout out to the production team! I love the show's cinematic style; each frame is like a painting and delivers a harmonious feeling. ALSO, the episodes’ opening is probably the most creative I have ever seen! Now speaking of the cast, I only got to know Santa three months ago and was immediately impressed by how he can act and convey emotions with his eyes. This series provides further proof of his excellent acting skills, as he can portray Solar and Sun's distinctive personalities so well. The audience can just tell which one of them is taking over the body just by looking at his eyes and behavior. I have learned that Santa had to transition between Solar and Sun multiple times a day while filming the show because of the shooting schedule, so I have to say he is lowkey talented in managing emotions. As for Perth, it's the first time I've seen this man playing a green flag, totally new for me. My last impression of bro was those hot red flags from his previous series, but he managed to pull off a golden retriever boyfriend role so well here. The supporting casts are amazing, too, including the child actors. Some of the scenes aimed for comedic effect, which normally would give me second-hand embarrassment because it's hard to deliver properly, but I actually laughed so hard at these in this show and didn't feel like they were out of place. It's just so natural for some reason.
Onward to the plot, the story, and interactions among the characters are healing to watch. Personally, I was touched when others immediately accepted Sun's existence and helped with Solar's healing process. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I LOVE THE PURE AND CONSISTENT LOVE BETWEEN POBMEK AND SOLAR. They are a haven for each other, and I appreciate and envy their relationship 😔. Anyways, not going to lie, the plot has me completely hooked right now. I want to know what Solar's childhood trauma was so bad, and what is the deal between him and his dad??? This feels like watching a suspense drama where I have to use my brain and make a lot of guesses. 😭
This Taiwanese Boys Love Series "Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars" is about to join the list of the Best Taiwanese Boys Love Series of all times. "Secret Lover" (2025); "Unknown" (2024); "Kiseki: Dear To Me" (2023); "Plus Minus" (2022); "Fighting Mr. 2nd" (2021)... and so on.
"Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars" is different from all the others storytelling wise because it combines the daily life real struggles of the lead characters with a magical frame, and up to EP 4 is really an excellent BL production in all possible ways: Script, acting, chemistry, cinematography, message.
The Taiwanese actor Jed Chung has always been amazing in all of his gay roles, specially since his lead role in the Taiwanese short film LIGHT from 2021, and here we can see him in such a colorful character. Having Kota KAGAMI portraying a half Japanese boy in the story adds such a feeling of authenticity to it. Meng Xuan CHU and Jie En YU had a few supporting roles in BL Series before, and now these are their larger lead characters.
Since this is a Fairy Tale Boys Love story we will have to wait and see if the wishes made to the meteor shower turn out to be a blessing or a curse. One is regretting already his wish, yet he sees the opportunity to find out a lot of things happening around him from his first crush and from his father. The other is discovering a passionated love in a way he never expected it to happen. Will the magic of their wishes last forever... or is there a time frame limit for those wishes as well...??
This drama is so good. The actors, the setting, the storyline, the yearning, the tenderness. It’s all so very good. Just watch it. The title is a bit confusing to me. I would have passed on this for that alone. Thankfully I gave it a watch, and I’m hooked. Finished episode 6 and have to wait one more week for the next episode ! Ack. Worth it tho!
The best series I've ever seen! I love every actor's performance and how as the story unfolds, you learn things you don't normally learn or see in series. I'm truly captivated, and especially by the beautiful story of Pobmek and Solar—it's so lovely! 💖
So happy to see Perth and Santa again; they have amazing chemistry (they're one of my favorites, I just rewatched Perfect 10 Liners), and I applaud Santa's double performance, playing both an adult and a child alternately. The script is very original, a real immersion for them in the world of work and a real couple's life—it's delightful. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Boxing the show into just being a great BL adaptation would be a big crime…one must praise the production quality and the richness of the sets, costumes and the props shows which have vividly brought the 90’s Kowloon alive as envisioned in the original source.
The actors are doing a phenomenal job, breathing life to the characters. And kudos to the director for guiding the actors through such natural acting and especially for the great post production, because apart for a few abrupt scenes, the transitions soft has been pretty seamless with fitting OSTs and BGMs.
Truly grateful that the novel has been adapted with such poise 🙏🙏🙏
I really like it, although I’ve only seen two episodes so far, but it’s cute and I’m rooting for the main characters! Finally, a series where the BL relationships aren’t toxic and the characters are lovable.
Amazing! I have no clue how I manage to wait for the next episode to drop. PerthSanta are hitting this out of the park...their acting, chemistry and the storyline are 💯. SammyKay also make a great team. I spend equal time laughing and crying and its only ep3...cannot wait to watch the rest of the story unfold. This has been a perfect start to their first solo series...#Loveyouteacherseriesep3
What a great series I can’t wait for more. I personally love these kind of series for 2 main reasons. First the heartfelt love that two people have for one another and second the story behind it. Love is love. Great job to the actors and actresses for doing an amazing job also thank you to the producers,directors and screenwriters for making this amazing series. Thank you!!!
The story is so interesting, counting for every single ep. the cast did so well and it feels so satisfied to follow. I love the cinematography too. every scene is full of aesthetic. Will always in my watchlist.
Waiting for ep 4 to load (3 days more, really?)… I wasn’t sure what to expect with this drama. I was immediately drawn in by the story. Yeah, I’m hooked. It’s dirty, gritty, violent, and I can’t stop watching it. Such incredible chemistry between the two leads. The attraction they have for each other is palpable. I’m not usually a fan of mafia dramas, but this film keeps me on the edge of my seat. I’ll update my review as it progresses. So far, solid 10/10.
They have great chemistry, it's just a shame there are so few romantic scenes and private moments. I'm not asking for them to kiss every minute, but in both parts, we never see them kiss, hug, or barely.... Too bad, it would have made the series more intense. They give the impression of loving each other very much but don't show it.
I still adore this series very much and can rewatch many times. In my opinion, the main leads Bright and Win they have very good chemistry and made me root for Sarawat and Tine.
As for expectations, it is a series that is easy to watch, cute, and funny with romance thrown in. It's about following your heart. It also has a wonderful soundtrack that introduced me to thai music, which I now love.
This series and impact helped open many doors for the industry and was able to reach new types of fans for Thai BL'S when it aired, so it's very special and has been acknowledged as such.
A great entry into BL, and I hope the leads do more shows together in the future again.
