Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart (2022)

sweet & charming innocence

the story feels like a prequel to a love story but it does so in a cute and charming way. went into this not sure what to expect due to such a wildly mixed bag of opinions, but I found myself laughing a lot throughout the episodes. loved seeing winny and satang in this too, they both added so much to the already great story. in fact, the supporting cast were all amazing, this felt really well in terms of their performance together.

this is lighthearted, with a great representation of fearful, timid, yet entirely sweet dancing around with the idea of confessing. thoroughly enjoyed all of this.

my only subtraction to my score is having to see joong be so serious for most of this. would’ve loved to see him act cutely more lol

Um romance leve, mas com espaço para evolução

Star In My Mind traz uma história envolvente e doce, focada em sentimentos não correspondidos e segundas chances no amor. A narrativa é bem construída e consegue captar a atenção do público com uma combinação de momentos emocionantes e clichês adoráveis.

- Motivos da resenha -

1. História (8.5/10): O enredo é simples, mas eficiente. Ele aborda com delicadeza temas como aceitação, amizade e o amadurecimento emocional, o que cria uma boa conexão com os espectadores.


2. Música (9.5/10): A trilha sonora é um dos grandes destaques da série. As músicas complementam perfeitamente os momentos emocionais e ajudam a construir a atmosfera romântica.


3. Valor de Reassistir (10/10): É o tipo de série que você pode revisitar quando quiser algo leve e reconfortante.



Pontos a Melhorar:

1. Atuação/Elenco (7.5/10): Embora o elenco tenha química, algumas performances poderiam ser mais naturais. Certos momentos pareciam um pouco forçados, principalmente em cenas de maior carga emocional. Isso poderia ter sido trabalhado com mais profundidade.


2. Desenvolvimento dos Personagens: Alguns personagens coadjuvantes poderiam ter tido um arco mais bem explorado, o que daria mais camadas à história principal.



Conclusão:

Star In My Mind é um BL que encanta pelo charme de sua simplicidade. Ele não é perfeito, mas tem um coração que brilha através de suas falhas. É uma boa escolha para quem busca um romance leve com momentos fofos, mas que também deixa um gostinho de querer mais em termos de atuação e profundidade de enredo.

Nota Geral: 9/10


sou uma grande fã de Joongdunk, inclusive, os divos merecem muito! 🥰

Un po’ un tuffo nel passato

Il titolo è un po’ particolare, ma serve a cogliere ciò che ho provato guardando questi 8 episodi: un po’ un ritorno al passato, ai BL universitari, dove c’era lui, c’era “l’altro lui”, c’era una tipa e degli amici invadenti (va beh, quelli ci sono anche nei BL attuali), insomma nulla di troppo complicato. E forse è per questo che la gente è rimasta delusa (e invoca alla “chimica sprecata”) perché in un mondo di Not Me, The Eclipse, KinnPorshe e tutti i drama intensi e ricchi di suspance ti ritrovi in una cosa easy e carina senza troppe pretese. Ripeto, non stiamo parlando dei picchi del BL moderno, ma sicuramente merita la nostra visione. Mi sono piaciuti molto i personaggi, sempre molto “semplici”, però alla fine la storia non richiedeva il complesso passato di Ayan o Sean, ne l’integrità morale di White quindi anche i personaggi semplici andavano bene, perché la storia è una storia semplice: sua ragazzi che per varie ragioni vengono separato e si ritrovano, con tutte le difficoltà del ritrovarsi, del ri-capirsi e tutto… mi sento di consigliarla soprattutto se si vuole un modo leggero per essere introdotti ai nuovi BL (quelli dove alcuni problemi di quelli vecchi passano in secondo piano, per esempio, ho notato che ora come ora molte meno storie hanno varie storyline sul coming out, mentre se si guardano serie di quattro/cinque anni fa era una parte molto importante della trama) mantenedo uno sguardo verso i vecchi BL.

I really liked this series, it wasn't until the last two eps that I kinda got bored a little. Turns out that I need some... drama... in my drama, not just pure fluff. I prefer it when my dramas end with a bang and not a soft plop.

I mean, there was a bang, literally, just not for the main couple, it was a set-up for Sky in Your Heart. Definitely an interesting set-up, that's for sure, the main couple just sort of fluffily fizzled out into cuteness, though. And I'm more of a give me angst or give me death kinda gal.

But regarding the drama itself and its characters, I ended up loving Kluen which I didn't expect at first because I thought he was leading Nuea on out of pure... whatever. But when I got to know him, how hard it was for Kluen to express himself, he become my favorite!

What I adored were the relationships the main characters had with others, mainly Nuea's relationship with his older brother Fah, it was so touching, and Kluen's friendship with Noel who truly understood Kluen and his issues and tried to help him in any way he could.

Overall, a very sweet story and I will definitely watch the follow-up!

average school series

i almost dropped this one but since this only have 8 episodes, i tried to finish it. high school love and then they meet again in college, i think teenagers love this kind of story (sorry to generalize)
this was still fun to watch, i mean, this is not boring though the story is cliché. i do enjoying every episodes, watching it till the end, finish it, and that’s it, move to another series. despite the actors good at acting, also it directed well enough, i’m not sure if i will back to watch it again. the chemistry is not bad even though (as i look up on it) Dunk is a new actor, and he just met Joong around last year or 2? in GMMTV. and joong, i saw him in 2moons2 and his acting become much better now, he can lead the chemistry with his acting skill here, but for this time i will just appreciate their chemistry up until there. for everyone who wants to watch it, i can’t guarantee you will like it, but you can have a try because it’s not bad.

Very average

I will say I almost rated this very biased just because i am a huge joongdunk fan but once actually completing this series it really didn’t do much for me.

i think both joong and dunk have improved a lot with their acting and honestly i don’t think either of them were terrible in this series to begin with but i can definitely see an improvement. unfortunately the story was boring and really didn’t make sense. it’s another miscommunication trope but the miscommunication was soooo bad that it just didn’t make sense. Kluen couldn’t have told Dao from the beginning his liked him back? what was the point of meeting in college and STILL not telling him his feelings but just beating around the bush. It was almost the exact same premise as their other series Hidden Agenda. I unfortunately feel like they’ve both been typecasted as these same characters consistently among all their series. However, at the time of reviewing this I have been watching their more recent series The Heart Killers, and though their character tropes are essentially the same it fits better with this storyline compared to this drama. Joong’d character is always the guy hiding his feelings and playing too cool, while Dunk’s characters are always the one being straight forward and pinning after Joong’s character.

Typhoon was very annoying and weird in this series. I felt like he couldn’t take no for an answer and was just very weird and pressuring Dao to reciprocate feelings he knew weren’t there. Dao also sort of toying with Typhoons feelings at one point too was also very gross, especially since he was so upset about the girl confessing to him and he was afraid of hurting her feelings. Though he apologized to Typhoon later it was still very unusual since he cried so much about it earlier. Also, Fah. Didn’t like his character. Why was he always calling and being needy and weird?? I knew they included him so much for the spin off series but it felt out of place and he was just annoying more than anything.

I’d say overall this wasn’t a terrible watch, it was easy enough to get through but it definitely had its flaws and wasn’t the best series ever by any means. I would say it’s a nice casual, short series to binge. As for rewatch ability… not there for me. Granted, most gmmtv series are not normally ones i’d decide to rewatch even if i liked them more. probably just due to the fact they are constantly coming out with new series and multiple with my favorite ships.

An introvert's love story.

For those who are wondering, this series has a *happy ending*

Plot/Storyline/Pacing:
I like the plot of this series. It is simple but quite overused. Sometimes cliche is good to watch as pastime and that is what I would describe this series. The storyline kept reminding me of 2moons2. Add to that that Joong is the main character. So, if you are planning on watching, think of 2moons2 but rushed. Also, for me, the pacing is a bit messy. The first few episodes (episodes where they are still not together) paced quite well, and then 3/4 of the episode later, they are resolved! I feel like the angst I felt in the last few episodes are waived away by an IG post and it made the story rushed and incomplete. I did not like that quick transition.

Chemistry:
Unpopular opinion: Joongdunk did quite well in their acting.... when they were not together. I do not know what went wrong, but when the characters finally resolved the issue and got together, the chemistry vanished. I did not felt longing and love with Dunk's acting especially when his character finally got together with Kluen. And for someone who has an unrequited love I did not feel 'love' for most of his scenes. He is cute though. When Kluen and Daonuea got together, for me they act more like friends than when they weren't together. That is just what I felt in the last episodes (ep7-8).

What I like in this series:
The friends in this series is *chef's kiss*. Shout out to Sean and Noel ❤️ the best friends in the series. They are all supportive, helpful, and funny, active listeners. A lot of comments mentioned that if they were not there, KluenDao will not be together and I agree with that. Fah is also a great older brother. Handsome too. I also love the little details in the series to show who loves who and how they show how they love each other in their own way. Another thing I liked is the improvement in Joong's acting. His eyes are very expressive that he can have a scene with no script and still deliver it well.

What I didn't like:
The miscommunication and misunderstandings that are stretched too much and formed the 'plot.' I admit the plot is simple, and this is a series with little to no drama so the conflict should be simple as well. But! It is very frustrating how Kluen doesn't straighten the story or correct misunderstandings. This then stretches the angst unnecessarily in the series which I did not like. I also didn't like how shallow the misunderstandings are resolved. Freaking IG post? I would have liked the parking scene to be longer and have that reconciliation scene there, or maybe something more dramatic to equal the scene in episode 6.

Overall, this series is simple, short, and a bit bittersweet. I quite like it but it is not something I would rewatch once again. Though it is something I recommend you to watch atleast once!

It's nice watch

This is a short and easy watch. There is only one couple and basically no side character development, so if your wanting something chill and easy to watch in a day this is it. The story is not that deep but the cast is able to make up for it. There is a sexual assault storyline that goes nowhere and feels very out of place. It's dropped in the same episode it's introduced in.

The couple is really cute and the acting is good most of the time. At some point, it can feel annoying but I was able to overlook it for how cute the couple is. The couple makes you feel for them when there know their love is theirs but doesn't want to act on it. Can't wait to watch Our Sky 2 with them in it.

Joong is the best

I watched this series to see the evolution in the acting of Joong … and again I wasn’t disappointed.

All of the actors were very good and there acting very natural, the story was interesting and not too long … but every scene with Joong made the screen “explose”.

This young actor is among the best artist we can currently see in Thai drama. I would love to see him in other BL drama but he has soo much more potential … he should go to Hollywood and find a good agent over there to launch his career there as the next Hollywood heartbreaker ( like Tom Cruise or Leonardo di Caprio or …)

If he could reed this I would say : Joong 👏👏

Short and Sweet

RATED = 7.5 ~ 28.5/50 ~ 5.7
RPG Scene // Two confused homosexual Mages separated in the crumbling castle and it's pesky moving corridors, and using their magical glowing battle axes to find each other again.

There's not a whole lot I can about this one other than I enjoyed it. It's just a short, sweet and fluffy BL about our ML Daonuea who confesses to his crush before he is to study in Germany for a year, and is awkwardly crushed. They coincidently meet up again a year later in University, where both have been selected for a 'Freshy Boy' contest. This all seemed like a beauty pageant to me honestly, where the boys have to live together in a dorm while the competition takes place. This is only half of the show while the boys grow closer, and the second half is to allow for some truths to reveal themselves.

Overall, it's nothing complicated, nothing major intense. It's just a sweet afternoon watch. Dunk and his adorable little face gracing the screen for a few hours.
Acting did feel a little 'stiff' for me. I don't know why. Maybe for the more emotional scenes, it felt a little held back? But nothing too major.

The side characters did make me laugh though. Between forcing the two leads together, being over with the drama and the two Moment Killers of the show and, damn....those....phones.... LOL

You'll either like it for what it is or just move on. I suppose I could watch it again just for the fluff.

"An emotionally lightweight BL"

A type of BL series that has a good story, too bad the expressions of actors are not really showing and they somehow lacking in portraying their character.
The casts are good especially the main actors and I'm waiting for more onscreen chemistry of JoongDunk on their next BL projects.
Overall, it is something you can enjoy and if you're not a fan of heavy and tear-jerker dramas, this one is for you.

"Meet me at midnight"
"Staring at the ceiling with you"
"Oh you don't have to say to much"

"When the morning came we"
"Where cleaning incense of yours"
"Vinyl shelf cause we loss track of time again"

"I have this thing when I get older but just never wiser"
"Midnights become my afternoon "
"When my depression works the graveyard shift of all the people"

Lumayan bagsus, tapi ; agak menyebalkan sih ...

Series ini menurutku punya cerita yang "agak menyebalkan". Bentuk alur dan konsep ceritanya memang lumayan bagus, namun secara pribadi saya kurang begitu suka. Menceritakan Daonuea yang menyukai kk kelasnya Khabkluen, mereka berdua bahkan berpisah sebelum salah satunya mengucapkan perasaan cinta. Hingga akhirnya mereka berdua bertemu kembali di universitas yang sama. Bagaimana kisah mereka akhirnya? saksikan seriesnya. Hal-hal yang saya benci adalah bentuk dari karakter Khabkluen yang terlalu percaya diri, tarik-ulur dan memperlakukan cinta sebagai sesuatu hal yang "gampangan", series ini menggambarkan bahwa segala sesuatunya mungkin akan berjalan dengan baik di dalam pemikiran khabkluen, ini membuat Daonuea menjadi kebingungan, tersakiti dan punya posisi yang paling tidak menyenangkan. Bahkan ada beberapa karakter pendukung yang menurutku lebih cocok untuk Dao, sebagai contoh Typhoon. Namun series ini memberikan gambaran yang buruk (dalam artian, sad scene) untuk karakter Typhoon, tidak hanya di series ini, bahkan pada versi ourskyy 2-nya. Typhoon yang berperan sangat bagus di sini dan punya hal positif untuk Dao tetapi akhirnya mempunyai takdir yang tidak menyenangkan, sedangkan Kabkluen yang terlalu banyak menarik-ulur Daoneua malah memiliki bentuk takdir yang indah. Ini terasa tidak adil, hal ini mungkin tidak masalah jika Typhoon mempunyai bentuk cerita yang bagus di ending, namun sayang - series tidak memberikan itu.
