Tu Es Mon Ciel (2022)

Not a bad watch

This series, generally speaking, does not have anything out of the ordinary. It's pretty much the same you would find in other BLs. However, the fact that it doesn't have a refreshing plot doesn't make it a bad watch. In fact, it is a good/okay BL to watch.

The main couple was good, but as the drama progressed, their story and chemistry were losing my interest. In some scenes, their interactions felt kind of forced too. But they are not bad actors. I just think that they had a lot of unnecessary drama.

I liked more the other two couples (more Dome and Vee). Aii and Saen's couple was pretty cute and kind of comforting. The chemistry between the actors was very good. However, I personally think Dome and Vee's couple was the best. They had great chemistry, and I found their plot to be more interesting. They even gave me ITSAY's vibes at times.

I honestly think that this series could have been better if all three couples had the same amount of screen time. This series had a lot of drama that could have been avoided, giving a better execution. If they would have developed more into Dome and Vee's story, the series would be more interesting.

But overall, I enjoyed most of this drama. I wouldn't recommend it, BUT if you watched the trailer and you liked it, go ahead and watch it. It's a good watch to kill time. Just don't have any expectations.

A sport-romance drama that is greater than average

For a Thai Bl, it is quite rare to see a love story centering in a sports genre. A fresh concept to offer for the viewers. At first, I occasionally felt bored from some scenes but fortunately it gets better the more episodes I’ve watched. It started in a cute way and you can really feel the romance between them. The exciting plot development leads me to liking the show and allows me to improve my previous rating from them. The cinematography was enjoyable too. It actually adds a little bit of dramatic approach to the flow of the story and it was a nice visual element to look at. I found it endearing that their uniforms match the color of the bench at the upper viewpoint of the field. The combination of the bright colors is pretty and the design was perfect for a student who majors in physical sport.

The show provided us with three couples to look forward to and each of them has something to offer. I like the flirting stage and the contradictory of every couple; Fah-Thorn has a timid & sweeping start; Aii-Saen possesses the flirty & reserved type of courtship; while Dome-Vee has a bit of complexity and petrifying emotions to conquer.

Thorn, having a one-sided crush for Fah since they were kids, was painful. I can’t help but to feel sad for him. It is a relief that finally he has acquired the same kind of love he was hoping for a long time, even Fah himself felt like he was an idiot that time. But there’s nothing wrong with not liking back a person who romantically admired you. Luckily, Fah also grows feelings for Thorn and the moment when they exchange kisses was so great. I can feel the lingering emotion they have for each other, a well executed kissing scene. The conflict about their relationship is common and inevitable for those who share a similar dream. If the other one is getting ahead with a long gap of distance, sometimes the one who left behind can’t escape feeling envious and sorrowful. The whole basketball game during the episode prior to the last is an intense one. I love the tension, the drama, the reconnection, the burst of emotions, and Thorn’s realization of his sudden change of attitude that affects the way he treats the people around him. During Thorn’s desperate period of time to catch up to the wasted months of him being injured until he finally breaks down in pain, Fah waits for him for months until he can finally embrace a sense of comfort to Thorn once again. Both of them fit to be the main couple; two men playing a game in the field of their dream as official partners in life.

Saen and Aii are cuties! The lovey-dovey moments of these two stood the most. Their relationship's biggest wall is not the long distance itself but it is when one of them sacrifices his long-awaited dream for the sake of love that just blooms in a few months. I am happy that they talked about this topic with honest and sincere thought. I am not a big fan of seeing those who choose romance over ambition, it’s a good thing that the drama doesn’t use this kind of cliche plot anymore. Saen is such boyfriend material, his way of showing his love is sending me butterflies. Initially, I thought that Aii can’t sync with the level of affection that Saen gives to him but then I realized the two of them have a different personality; one is introverted and the other one is socially active. The best attribute that this couple had is the power of communication. There’s always a problem to be encountered in life, it’s hard but when both of them talk about it, there’s a huge chance that the problem itself will eventually fade away.

The right person in a wrong time love story of Dome and Vee. It was a moment of ups and downs that is really hard to conclude a happy ending since the wall between them is not something to be forgotten easily. The beach episode is a breath of fresh air for the non-stop physical activities and they make a sublime use of the scenario. Opening up your feelings mostly happened at the beach or resorts whether in drama or real life. The rainbow after the storm seems far from their relationship but I admire how they handle the situation with calmness and most reasonable thought. The ending was the best conclusion for them. A little talk was enough to establish their thoughts even more. It is a realistic and commendable plot.

The rest of the characters in this show left a memorable role. The unforeseen shift of character from the coach who started up as an antagonist was indeed shocking to me. I honestly think that I will hate him until the end but each person does have two sides. What I like about this coach is that he didn't insult Thorn and Fah’s homosexual relationship. The basketball team was a lovely group of people who acquired a kind heart and a thoughtful mind. Fluke impact to this drama is a big shout out to the norm of using openly gay character only for the comedy element. Fluke on the other hand is a dependable gay player in the team that helps the development of the main couple to the absolute best. She is interesting to watch and I am glad that the story gave her a nice ending by being the new student activity president. On the other hand, I feel bad for Pan (Vee’s sister) to experience a shocking turn of events. Yet, she herself is also the one who pushes Vee and Dome to reconcile. She is a thoughtful and loving sister to Vee’s life. Tupbok is such an eye candy to the show hihi he is cute along with Pete. The rest of the supporting characters play very well in the story. Sometimes, I forget that Torn and Saen are best friends because they literally have their own world when having a moment together with their respective boyfriends.

The ending is so satisfying, a nice way to end the show. The closure that each character got was amazingly done in the most realistic and accepted way. You’re My Sky is probably one of the above average sports dramas that I’ve ever seen. Way to go!

The main couple is so bad that you HAVE to root for the guy kissing his brother in law

There are many instances where the main couple is not the best couple or the most entertaining to watch, like Until me Meet Again, Wy R U and My Engineer. But usually the main couple has some redeeming quality, like chemistry or a compelling story. You’re Me Sky fails miserably in that aspect.

Yes, I don’t love how much the sport aspect is a major part of the main story, but other shows have done is well. It’s the same problem for some high school BLs, where it’s all about the school. I think the problem for You’re My Sky is that I don’t get the sense that Fah and Thorn are that good at basketball. So, I kept waiting for someone to tell them that they’re not good enough, so they can face reality and move on.

We have three couples and, although I don’t love any of them, Vee and Dome are by far the best one. Yes, their relationship means that Pan is being cheated on by her boyfriend and her brother, but that’s just how things are on this series. They have more chemistry looking at each other from across a pond than the main couple making their relationship official. Aii and Saen are okay and they are cute together, But Saen annoys me a bit sometimes.

I actually like Suar and I think Tae is OK. Suar was great in You Never Eat alone, while Tae was good in Y Destiny, but I think he’s a bit to robotic sometimes. From episode 1 I could feel that Fah and Thorn didn’t have chemistry. As their story progressed, it was becoming more and more obvious that the romance was not working for me. To make matters even worse, their plot is extremely boring, at best. It’s all basketball all the time. We don’t learn anything about them nor do we see them getting to now each other better, since they last saw each other. They only talk about basketball. I couldn’t care less about how much Thorn wants the promises they made years ago to be a reality. Thorn took every opportunity he could to be an idiot at every turn.

Regarding the endings, Aii and Saen got the best one. They are making long distance work and the show remembered that Saen is rich and can just spend his vacations in Japan with Aii. For Dome and Vee, I understand it. They are still, basically, waiting for the time to pass. But it’s clear that they like each other and this is not a sad ending. As for Fah and Thorn, what a surprise, they got all they wanted. I really hoped that Thorn’s leg would get injured again or that he’d have to just keep playing with the university and wait. But no, he managed to get the opportunity to try out and play with Fah, even after that happened at the tournament. In the end, Thorn got everything he wanted, and I’m not to thrilled about that. Also, I’m 100% sure he’ll drop the university team as soon as he can.

85% sports, 10% romance. and 5% NO NO NO

PLOT: Two childhood friend vow keep playing basketball together until they become professional players and later opening a basketball school after their retirement. Yes, you heard that right....before they were even romantically involved they already made plans to spend their lives together lolol cute.

Since Tupfah is about three years older than Thorn, they parted ways when Tupfah went to college. But, just like they vowed as kids, Thorn followed his bestie (and also long time secret crush). However, he soon found out that because the college team has been so bad in the past few years, Tupfah has pretty much given up on his dream of becoming a professional player. But softboy Thorn came to his rescue and convinced not only Tupfah, but other player and the school's board to raising the basketball team back from the dead....all in the name of love!!!! AAAHNNNNN <3

And so our story develops and a lot goes down with our main couple, but it's cute and pretty much close to what a real could be. Lots of insecurities, passion, real ups and downs, and every day troubles. This is not those type of BLs with crazy plots. It's a real slice of life series but make it sporty lol

CAST / CHARACTERS:

- Tupfah: Started of super strong as a kid...being a really good friend and supporter for tiny Thorn. Of course people change along the way, but I didn't get why he basically treated Thorn as a stranger when they reunited in college. Why? That was weird...they were besties lol Their relationship slowly grew from idk you, to you're annoying me, to I'll prove it to you, to I thin i love, to love of my life. He was always a little self-centered and never really appreciated everything Thorn did for him. Took him from granted several times until the last episode, tbh. And believe me, he owns a lot to Thorn.

- Thorn: Marshmallow kid that grew up loving his bestie Tupfah since his teens. Literally followed the guy's steps until college!! The dedication was just amazing...and there wasn't even a promise of them being anything more than just teammates. He did everything in his power to help Tupfah get back on his "player" feet lol. Let's just say he suffered along the way...was poorly treat by his loved one, lost everything that he had. Of course he would crack. But at the end of the day, he's just a really nice guy that deserved a better boyfriend. JUST SAYIIINNNG. Don't hate.

Not going to lie here!
SaenAii had much more chemistry onscreen than our main. They were cuter together and their scenes kinda stole the show for me...I just wish they had more romance time.

DomeVee was just so wrong. NO NO NO NO. There are literally a million other men out there. Why was that even a thing? Bad brother... bad boyfriend...bad everything. It was very EWW for me. Feelings grown when you let it grow. And tell me when in real life a sister would be okay with that and just forgive them that easily? Yeah, ew, no.

Nice series, but very sport centric. If you don't really like that, it's def not for you. There is romance, but they don't spend a whole lot of time and effort developing those arcs. But it was enjoyable to watch :)

"Do not let anyone go through their worst days alone"

I am not the type to always write a review after completing a series. I love leaving comments here and there but for this one I felt I should leave a review for those on the fence about starting this series.

Top 3 reasons why I fell in love with YMS:
- The writing. The conversations and exchanges between characters are well-written. The headline is one of the many lines that stuck with me.
- The cinematography. This was shot beautifully. The colors. The transitions.
- The characters. The individual characters each have something unique to offer, the couples have great chemistry and sexual tension and most of all we don't have an evil, conniving character.

One thing to keep in mind before watching is that it's very slow and very fast at the same time. The slowness and softness of every scene feels very comforting while the time skips at the end is not everyone's cup of tea - it is very realistic to me.

Lastly, it has the perfect balance of fluff and angst. (if you're looking for tongue kisses then this is not it for you.)

As one of the couples say: "Go or no go?" Definitely a go!

New Favorite BL

Hi Everyone. I just want to preface this by saying that I have never wrote a review for another drama before and I have been on this site since 2016. First off, this review does contain spoilers, so shy away if you do not like them. There is a no spoiler TL;DR at the end of this review. I just want to say that I hope everyone gives this drama the love it deserves, the rating does not do it justice.

The main problem I see everyone mentioning is the fact that there is a time skip. I typically hate time skips, but this one was only 6 months and it fit the drama perfectly. The main character had a leg injury and one half of the side couple was going to study in Japan. With these items in mind it is rational that there was a time skip so that the injury would heal and we can see the character growth with basketball, plus it gave a reasonable amount of time for the second couple to have a reunion with each other at graduation. The time skip was done perfectly as it still showed what transpired in the main couples relationship through flashbacks. I think the drama was enhanced by the time skip, but that is just my opinion. Now onto the couples:

Main couple: Fah & Torn

What a breath of fresh air this couple was. The communication was great and Fah gradually falling in love as he spends more time with Thorn was very realistic. It was not rushed, but there was still enough intimacy in the series to feel the chemistry between the two. I enjoyed how they displayed their affection for each other and worked through their issues as quickly as possible. I feel the best scene was where Thorn realized how hard he has fallen and how much he changed when Fah walked away from him in the locker room during the last game. I was so happy when Fah came back to comfort Thorn and let him know that he did not hate him. That was a huge turning point for Thorn and I was so happy he realized this was not the way he wanted to play.

Secondary Couple: Aii & Saen

This was my favorite couple in this series. I absolutely love the way Aii fell for Saen and loved him unconditionally. He was even willing to give up his dream of studying in Japan for their love, but I am glad he didn't because that is more realistic. The fact that they worked through their long distance relationship and still had a happy relationship in the end was great to me. Saen's smile could melt the room, and i was so happy with their ending. Typically i hate when couples get separated, but because of the time skip it was like they were never apart. A+ Storyline.

Secondary Couple: Vee & Dome

I was not a big fan of the "stealing sisters boyfriend" storyline, but I thought it ended as good as it could have. There could have been more cute scenes with them, but i understand why they did not go that route considering it was almost as if they cheated the sister with the way they were acting towards each other. I do wish they solidified their relationship in the end since six months have passed and the sister gave her best wishes, but I get why Vee wanted to wait a little longer. I just hope he does not make dome wait for too long.


TL:DR (No Spoilers)

This was a masterpiece of a BL. I have watched so many BL and I always look at MDL ratings for an indication of if I will watch something. I am SO thankful i did not let this rating deceive me. I have no idea why it is rated so low with the three amazing couples. Some people complain about the ending, but it ended fittingly and I would be fine if there was no second season for this. Trust me, this was incredible and worth the watch. You will not regret it!!

Thanks for reading.

What a Disappointment !!!!

I was looking forward to this when the first trailer came out, unfortunately it really fell short after watching the first two episodes, to the point I started fast forwarding just to get to the end.

The absolute worst part of this drama was from Ep 10 onwards!!! I really started hating Torn character, as literally everything he did was based around Fah who never really asked him too, and then when fah does get into club we see how through a tantrum and yet he was meant to encourage and support him why bother doing that, his injury set him back and he turns to the enemy for help!! and then you Fah who does nothing but tries to makes things right gets attitude from, he really lacked the basic understanding of what support and encourage is in firstly a game match and as boyfriend, it seemed like he was never happy to see Fah progress in life, instead wished to have him dragged down.

As for the other side couples gosh I can't even begin to say how disappointing they were, one falls for his sister boyfriend the other doesn't want to see boyfriend go off on scholarship, and this whole drama was nothing a bunch of problematic kids they did not understand the basic of respect and love and encouragement or just being there for one or the other!!!

Not to mention there’s like 3 kiss scenes in total which was QUITE the disappointment. i did end up skipping through the last episode as i was very bored and wanted to move on to the next drama. but yeah there is my review, THIS IS MY OPINION

Don't Sleep On This Series!

You're My Sky is such an underrated BL series! I wish more people knew about this wonderful gem of a show. I stumbled upon this while scrolling on IG and I saw a fan edit of the 3 couples - I was curious and I was instantly hooked. I admit, it's a slow burner for the first 1-3 episodes but after that point, I swear the cast, story and beautiful music will capture your heart. The couples are all very loveable and endearing with amazing chemistry, beautiful faces but with talent too! Each couple are given enough screen time for their stories to develop and progress, which is a refreshing change. Honestly, the cinematography is stunning, the music so memorable and appropriate based on the emotions portrayed on screen. Not cheesy or tacky in any shape or form, and it isn't your typical BL. Love it so far! You won't regret watching this.

Give it a chance!

It wasn't perfect but I definitely enjoyed watching it so much! It's one of those series I never expected myself to like, but WOW I am so glad I gave it a chance !!
The cinematography is GREAT, and I love each pairing in this show! The side couples especially stole my heart!
The cast was also very well picked! They did so well in their roles and I could feel so much chemistry between all the couples :D
As for the story, I feel like this show gives off a sense of reality, which I appreciate. The story really makes you get engaged to all the characters and their respective struggles. However, there were some parts I wish could've gone better. For example, the pacing was off.... and the time jump kinda made things weird.
And I was hoping for a better ending tbh, but I guess I can understand why the writers chose to end it that way.
So overall, tho there are some parts that could've been better, it's honestly one of my favorite BLs I've watched this year!
I found myself getting excited about each episode release and now that it's over, I miss it quite a lot.
I feel like this show is def a hidden gem and should be talked about more. Lowkey hoping for a S2 with more insight on how the couples are doing or even some special episodes plssss

You're My Fire, The One Desire, Believe When I Say, That This Show Isn't All Bad

Ya'll on here better get the reference of my title for this review XD

This show was okay. Not great, but not terrible. The lighting choices in this show were actually really cool. Scenes are lit up with fluorescent pink lighting in some shots and its well done. Not overly quirky feeling or dumb. It's also just shot really nicely compared to other BL's that are super stiff shots over and over again. I didn't mind the main couple Tupfah and Torn. They were cute albeit kinda cliche. We saw the best friends to lover trope done perfectly in ITSAY, we don't really need it again.

I could tell things were going south for them when Torn started going behind Fah's back. That is a big relationship no no and honestly Fah could've been more upset with him. Dude was an overworked angel for a lot of this show. Though he did start to neglect Torn and others around him. I liked the showing of the "pressure to perform" in a sport. It's pretty realistic and you just can't let something like that change who you are as a person. Like it was starting to do with Torn, along with his being frustrated with the relationship situation. Speaking of sports, I liked the basketball scenes in this. Though I could see if you don't like or care about the sport those scenes were probably too long for you. Fair enough. Though I have to ask one thing.Why is there crowd cheers during the important game of the show with zero people in the stands? That was hella weird XD

Moving along. The side couples I didn't really care for. Aii and Saen were okay. First their relationship was Saen having unrequited love that turned into a hook up. Then once they actually got together, Aii makes it long distance thing? Just wasn't very necessary, however... this wasn't as bad as the third couple Dome and Vee. They were the worst in my opinion! With the girl drama, the lack of scenes and engaging dialogue. To the awkward thigh/leg rubbing that was like a poorly made version of ITSAY's scene lol. Like why did we need that? We didn't need a third couple but often they are added in to fill in some gaps. Though arguably, they could use that gap time to literally flesh out the other couples more! The only series I can think of off the top of my head that pulled of 3 couples was UMWA. But one couple was dead and technically a part of the main couple soooo... though in LBC season 1 I did like 3 couples too. Mostly though it doesn't work.

Watch this series though. You might have to scrub through a couples scenes but power through it you'll probably enjoy some aspects of it!

Must Watch

I would recommend this show as one of the must-watch. The storyline was refreshing, and the cast members were cute and did justice to their respective characters. In this series, three different couples with varied backgrounds in sports science fall for each other. Well written script. Each couple has their own set of unique issues to be dealt with. Every relationship has its hurdles, which the couple has to overcome if they honestly want to be there for each other. The cast did a great job portraying emotions such as love, sympathy and aggression. The nine-month and six-month changed the relationship dynamics among the cast and their character.

Scenes:
The basketball scenes throughout the episode were fantastic, the way they portrayed their respective characters was great, and the beach ball game was a lovely addition to the show.

Lead cast:
The show did have quite an interesting start and had a lot of backstories of Tupfah and Torn.
Tae and Suar's chemistry was intense and sweet. Tupfah and Thorn’s scenes were cute. Tupfah did have more than a friendly feeling towards Torn and was not aware of it. The kiss scenes were fantastic. They had to overcome tremendous hurdles to become one. Sometimes people just want the right person to spend time with, communicate, support, love and care for them. Ingfah was great and gave the push Tupfah needed. Bringing Shane back into the picture had some effect on Fah-Torn's relationship.

Jump-Boom was funny. Saen was an interesting and funny character, and Aii seems reserved. Their story was initially slow-paced, but once they realised that both shared the same feeling, their story became fast-paced. Saen's grandmother is supportive and funny. Saen and Aii's conversations were always so pure and genuine. In the end, it was good to see how much Saen and Aii have grown to love each other and want to make sure they don't make any mistakes that'll cost their relationship to fall apart.

Vee and Dome were promising characters with potential. Vee and Dome share a unique bond. They had their fair share of hurdles because Vee’s Pan was dating Dome. Porsche-Kris did a great job with their characters. They could have had more screen time.

Dynamics between characters:
Torn and Saen are good friends, and they could have more screen time to show more of their friendship.
Tupfah was a great friend by helping Saen and Aii.
It was pleasant to watch the chat between Vee-Saen and Aii-Torn.

Other Cast:
Pan was being such a supportive sister for Vee throughout the series. She truly loved Dome but in the end was supportive of their relationship. Pan also gave the motivation Aii required. She is a warm-hearted character.

Basketball team members were a lovely addition to the series. They were supportive towards Torn and Tupfah. But, when Torn need their support they weren’t there for him, which affected their relationship and game.

Tupbok is not like his brother Tupfah and is kind of funny. He is a great friend of Torn.

Fluke was really funny.
Coach Tuan and Big were unique and had different methods of teaching and beliefs.

Everyone got their happy ending.

For me, this series started off a little shaky. I almost dropped it. And then it got better. I've liked the last couple of episodes because I think it showed realism, the struggle of one going forward and the other being left behind. I was worried for a hot minute that their was going to be cheating involved from what they left us with at the end of episode 10 (I think it was).
I do believe they were trying to make this series to be on the same level as 'I told Sunset about you'. I mean cinematography was almost on par but the acting wasn't up to scratch, it felt awkward in a lot of places and the story was a bit hit and miss.
I did like how they focused on 3 main couples instead of going the normal route of having a main couple and then having side couples. They were all equal.
Overall, I wouldn't class it as one of my favourite BLs or a memorable BL and I can't say it's one that I'd come back and watch again.
