Just remember all. Unless this series is being made "underground," the producers of this series will never allow Su Yu and Wu Bi go beyond a "bromance." That's just how they (Chinese series) roll. So, all of you watching and enjoying it beware.
I'm still smh over this series. Even with all the cuteness, the love making scene between Rain and Payu, and the saving of Sky by Prapai, this series really had some bad stuff intertwined.
1) Not only was Rain manipulated and humiliated by Payu. He was assaulted in his own home, when his mother was in the next room. I would hope that "forcing" and unwanted enema on another person is NOT acceptable, even in Thailand. Also, messing with someone car during a storm (just to get them to be stuck and you can assist them) is REALLY psycho-like behavior. But, as a result Rain and Payu fall in love. Hmmm!
2) Now, the way Prapai literally "coerced" Sky into having sex with him to be able to leave, hmmm! If it were a Western culture, that behavior could easily be seen as "coercion," "unlawful detention," or even a form of sexual assault. Then there was the stalking. But, as a result Sky and Prapai fall in love. Hmmm!
I realize that this is a series based on a web-story, book or manga, and that it's written for a specific group into this sort of media. And, folks have a right to watch it and even enjoy it, if they want. All of that is cool! I just keep smh to why can't these writers and/or production companies produce books/stories and series that at least occasionally promote a more healthy portrayal of a lgbtq+ relationship. Folks will still read and folks will still watch -- at least I think????
Well, this series reunites Tay and New. They've worked together in the "Kiss" series (including Our Skyy), so it will be interesting to see them in these roles. They actually have good chemistry. But I'll be interested to see how they pull off this Thai version of Cherry Magic; the Japanese version of the series that was great!
I'm really smh about this series. I kind of liked it, but I'm not really sure why. Let me explain. I liked the fact that it "wasn't" about high school or uni boys. I liked that it wasn't about doctors or engineers. I liked the fact that it had a main character (Jeng - Man) who was lgbtq+ , but his character was portrayed liked any other person, with no over-the-top lgbtq+ stereotypes. I'm not so sure about some of the other characters (Pat, Chot, etc.). Finally, I liked that the series had a fairly decent ending for the main characters.
Now, as for what I didn't really like about the series. I didn't like some of the pacing between eps. I didn't like the 2 year story gap in the last ep, without any flashback or info. I didn't like all the immaturity portrayed by Pat (even though he was portraying a younger character). So, all-in-all, I still say it was an "OK" series and I'm not sure that it's worthy of a season 2. But, who knows!
This first ep. wasn't so bad. Actually, it was kind of entertaining. I just wished this series hadn't gone down that same old "route " of a guy chasing after a girl (usually his dream girl), only to end up ultimately falling for a boy. This type of plot is becoming an all too nuanced "trope" in several of the more recent Thai BLs.
I'm kind of SMH on this series. Even though I "think" I understand much of the "plot" (I use that term as loosely as anyone can), this series is still all over the place! It has a few cutesy moments between the "young" cast and a few sexy moment between the "grown ups." But once you minus these moments, there's basically nothing left in the series. For a mini-series, IMO, they're trying to do too much, especially with (3) distinct storylines. It's easy to get lost watching this series. Now, I'm not saying the series is bad (believe me I've seen much worse). I'm just saying it's NOT very good.
After watching episode 4 of this fairly interesting series, it’s clear that the Thana/Patis relationship is…
Interesting points. However, also in the "real" world, a grown man hanging out with a teenaged stranger would seem kind of interesting to say the least and creepy to say the most.
I actually like the crossover eps with BB and ATOS. I must agree that the plot was a little "all over the place." But I think that was due to this being a crossover ep. and the blending of two storylines (which could've been a little more cohesive). However, it was entertaining and there were some funny and romantic moments. I would also agree with other posters that Earth and Mix seemed to have a little bit better chemistry than Ohm and Nanon. I think that the rating of 8.0 is actually a pretty fair rating, IMO. It was good, but could've been better with a few tweaks.
Now, I do disagree with those posters comparing Our Skyy 2 to Our Skyy 1. Although the premise of the two series were similar, their focus and execution were completely different. Our Skyy 1 was in its infancy and "kind of" "sort of" patterned itself in line with the other anthology series that were out at the time. And, each segment only had (1) ep to tell its story. Our Skyy 2 comes along 5 years later with its (2) ep. segments and of course it's going to seem better than the previous one -- why wouldn't it when the current series had more time to develop each story, better series to work with, better actors and directors and probably a better budget. I'm just saying!
I don't know why, but I get this "daddy-son" vibe from Jeng and Pat's relationship (or relationship-to-be). It's a good thing that Pat is an adult, albeit barely! LMBO!
I really didn't think this series was as "bad" as many of the comments would lead one to think. Yeah, it did have lapses of dragging, poor writing, and a story that didn't always flow. But, at least it was an attempt for Thai BLs to begin the transition into more "mature" storylines and not always focus on high school or uni BLs.
Yes, those types of BLs will unfortunately probably always be around (because their often cheap to make, quick to produce, and have an established fangirl audience). But, as the actors mature, I think that they would want their talent, skills and role to also mature. Yes, we all realize that it's "acting" and that's what actors due. But really, how many true professional actors would even want to continue to play "high school or university" roles well into the mid-to-late 20's and even into their early 30's. Now, if that's the ONLY work that's available, that would be a different issue, IMO.
Maybe it's time to start having MLs (Men's Love) in addition to BLs (Boys Love)???
I'm not sure what to say about this series. I totally agree that it set a high bar for other BLs with it's story, cinematography, attention to detail and mature subject matter. It is NO DOUBT not your typical cutesy, lovey-dovey BL. There were many parts of the series I truly liked (and then there were the parts I truly disliked as well). I'm not going to go into the parts that I disliked, because I do not want to start a fury, such as it was before, regarding whether some of the actions in the series amounted to rape, noncom, or Stockholm or Lima syndrome, etc. IMO, I think that too many folks used too many Google look-ups to become "junior experts" on the subject. As a practicing licensed therapist, I found the whole conversation eerily funny and a bit concerning at the same time. But, I digress.
What I think is the most telling part about this series was the gritty mature subject matter. I mean, this BL didn't pull many punches with the story. Agree or disagree with what was presented, it certainly made an impact.
Finally, even though I had problems with some of the scenes and subject matter, it still was a great series, and a season 2 would've provided an opportunity to address not only some of the loose ends, but also provide a little clarity or even explanation (or vindication, if you will) to some of those scenes that I and many others found were a little uncomfortable with, but "still" enjoyed watching. LMBO!!
These were just my opinions, and anyone is more than welcome to agree or disagree.
I'm not really sure what to make of this series. I'm shm, especially at the character of Pat. Yes, he's immature and childish, afraid of his own shadow, and allows people to walk all over him. Unfortunately, many people do. But, what I really don't get (at least not yet) is the whole office dynamic. I get that the series is going for that stereotypical office where in BLs where no one actually does any work (except the boss), everyone is in everyone else's business and constantly gossiping, etc. That's fine if that is part of the plot. But it does get old after a while to see grown-ups constantly acting like they're back in high school with NO progression in their characters. Even though it's probably done for comic relief, the joke gets old when told too many times. But, other than what I just stated, I think the series is okay. I'm willing to wait to see if it gets better or stays on the same course.
1) Not only was Rain manipulated and humiliated by Payu. He was assaulted in his own home, when his mother was in the next room. I would hope that "forcing" and unwanted enema on another person is NOT acceptable, even in Thailand.

If it were a Western culture, that behavior could easily be seen as "coercion," "unlawful detention," or even a form of sexual assault. Then there was the stalking.
