Get depiction of gay character in Thai society, and would be educational for the older gen who are watching this popular straight love drama.

It just dawn on me that what the actor meant to say when he, as Aioon, utter "today, continue to stay with me" after he kisses Nawee toward the end of episode 6. Couldn't the actor enunciate his Thai more clearly? I'd fail my Thai exam if I were to speak like him! :D

You could have reported him because he was also bullying others. At a school where I worked previously, bullying was clearly forbidden and I posted the school rules on my classroom wall, so I could point that out to the bully and his/her mother when they came to see me.

@soul, did you report it to your teacher. If I were your teacher, I'd put the bully in detention and report him to his parents. I actually did once.

I would hope that all schooled and "real" Thai children and teenagers are properly taught the real traditions of Songkran. As a foreigner, I learned about it in Thai culture class.

Songkran is the Traditional Thai new year, 3-day-festival, and it emphasizes family gatherings and pouring of scented water over respected elders (including school teachers) hands to seek their blessings.

Does anyone recognize who plays khun Narong in ep. 12?

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense now where they "sky" comes from. But then, in the original Thai language, the title just means "up to the stars." I couldn't figure out where the "sky" comes into play in the English title.

Does anyone know what movie it was that they were watching?

Great episode 5! I paid attention to Thanaboon's scenes in which he plays Phupha and he acts really well. I hope to see more of him in future scenes.

I mentally clapped when the Tawan character mentioned about Alfred Adler! Bravo to the scripwriter! I was pleasantly surprised Adler was brought up. Perhaps that is due to the fact that a few pop psychology books written for the laypersons were based on this psychoanalyst's theory of Individualistic Psychology.

@jpny01 I totally agree. I rolled my eyes and thought the screenwriters went a bit too far in this non-binary and gender-fluidity identities that are promoted by media celebrities. But then, I remembered that this is indeed intended as entertainment, not education. For really curious people, there are actual semester-long courses about issues like these that they can take at progressive private universities in North America.

Actually, I really like Por's character and hope its inclusion in this series will educate BL audiences to one aspect of gay life.

Decades ago, I had a similar encounter, but I reacted in fear, not because of the trans person, but alarmed that she might have been an impersonator, so I delegated my post to a colleague momentarily to get the head proctor to authorize her to sit for an exam.

Thanks for the info.

I was also initially surprised, but then, I reminded myself that I am watching a BL, not gay, series.

Thanks! So this is what it is in the fantasy world of BL. I am always interested to know what people I interacted with think about same-sex relationship.

I pay special attention when Aou is assuming this role as Pupha as I remember hearing that he had had stage acting experience and had to adapt to acting for the silver screen.

As a possibly-construed spoiler, I see the identity of "Enchante" to be someone who at least share French culture or heritage that Theo misses when he returns to Thailand. Also in the book, it is more obvious because Theo is half-French and has blue eyes. For those who have been abroad to study for an extended time, you will know that you'd feel extremely glad to connect with someone who shares your culture and heritage.

Did anyone recognize the cameo appearance of the series director? It took me a while to realize a clue to help viewers find him, because that regional Thai accent is not common in Bangkok Metropolis.
