Het actor dipping toes into BL universe
While it's not surprising to watch Het Actor dipping his toes into BL world once in a while, for some reasons it's still comes off as a surprised for to see Mek agreed for itBeing paired with GMM fresh actor, Mark- I personally shipping MekMark more than with whoever Mek current girlfriend in real life.
In Sky in Your Heart series, I actually find myself enjoyed watching Mek character Fah as overly clingy puppy dog who always using his charm to win over something which I always find it annoying in every Japan Anime coz it's feels like it's been overused. For some reasons Mek makes it worked without it feels cringe .
Yes I agreed the storyline feels dry at some point due to it's slow pace and I wish we could just cut off Prince ex from the plot itself coz it feels very unnecessary to me.
Not gonna lie, even though it's already 2022, it still nice to watch BL drama where the main actor who's straight all his life founds himself immerse/ attracted with another guy. I personally think it's a good example for young generation nowadays to show that Love Is Love - if you're attracted with your own gender, just go for it because Love should not be complicated
People nowadays are more open minded than people in the 90's, you might found to be surprised that the world might rejoices on your relationship rather than side eyeing just because your spouse also a man
Back to the series , it's a bad idea to compare Sky In Your Heart VS A Tale of Thousands Stars even though both of them are GMMTV product. They both irrelevant to be compared because both of them have their own charm, especially Prince who comes off as a mystery character that always hiding his identity despite being a volunteer teacher in rural community
FahPrince X MekMark is definitely a BL pairing that I wish to see more in future project if Mek decides to do another BL series in the future. PuppyFah VS SemePrince is a joy to watch in the series!

Cute and refreshing
I am totally completely in love with Prince. That guy nailed his role. I loved this one more comparing to DaoKluen story. It was simple. But cute. Good for binge watch. The guy who played Prince did a very good job. I get he didn't play anything before. But it wasn't noticable at all. He totally nailed his character. Also, in this part I love how the friends are matured than DaoKluen's. Well obviously because they are literally mature than them but I am saying as in they give mature suggestions to their friends as well. Overall it was enjoyable. I also have a feeling that actors who played kluen and prince would make a nice pair too. Hopefully we'll see them in a series together. **************Was this review helpful to you?
Love it, it is very understanding.
Short, sweet, cute and innocent. Really different from SIMM, but very nether less. I don't believe the two should be compared because the personality and decision of the characters are different. SIMM is a college student one and SIYH is about two adults (even tho one is still in university) who has already decided that they do what they need, respect each other's space and don't fight over things that can be resolved by understanding the other. They both react according to their past experiences, as a medical student I do understand Kaufah concern, but Prince is the most understanding lover Kaufah can find.
The thing I loved the most here is that they do know how to separate personal matters and public matters. Even tho they disagree, they do not let that effect their relationship in front of others or even when they have to work together.
This series is really good, really cute and innocent somehow. Some say the plot is not there or anything of the sort but I believe the plot is calm, and they did the best in their own mind for the other person. I believe everyone should give this a chance, if I had a relationship like this in my life, I would be really happy.
I like the chemistry between all the actors, this series has the most sweet kisses I have ever seen in a series, it is not one that will make you want to replay, but it will definitely be one you will be shy to have witnessed.
This is my first time writing a review and I believe it is worth it.

Much better than Star in My Mind, therefore I enjoyed it more
Sky in My Mind was a huge improvement over its predecessor. While, SIMM had its moments it certainty failed and dragged on with the misunderstandings. Fah and Prince actually talked to each other & listened. The misunderstandings they may have had were solved pretty fast and easily. I will agree that the drama in the last episode was cliche because that's why cellphones exist lol, but it only lasted about half an episode. I appreciated that it wasn't dragged out for 2-3 episodes which is common in BL series. For that alone it's one of my favorites. Not only were the problems solved quicker, but I do think the characters were more mature and didn't easily fall into the childish behavior that Dao and Kluen tended too. Did Fah and Prince have their moments? Yes, but never to a child's degree. That was a breath of fresh air.I also enjoyed the simplicity and romance of the series. Some scenes gave me butterflies and yeah, I enjoy cheese, so this was right up my alley. Think the setting being away from the big city helped SIYH achieve what it wanted to. Got to say the village where Sky was filmed was absolutely beautiful, took me right into the mood every Friday.
I'll admit Mek was the best part of this series. His acting skills and charm really did the heavy lifting when the series needed it to. I'm gonna miss watching him every week. That being said tho, for being a newbie Mark did a decent job. Although Mark still needs work especially in emoting better. But, he's much better than other newbies GMMTV & other production companies have put forward lately. I loved the chemistry between Mek and Mark it really made the series for me. May be in the minority but I think they had more than Dunk and Joong.
As for the music have to say the opening song is one of my favorites, used to hum along to it when it played. The rest of the OST was ok. Overall I give SIYH a 9.5 and will probably be rewatching when I'm in the mood to. It's def easier to watch than SIMM despite the drama in the last two episodes & for that it gets higher points from me.

Mediocre at best
This one had a lovely start. After the first few episodes it lost me completely. I still kept on watching it but the fast forward button was a blessing. Very boring story, decent acting but sometimes it felt kind of cringey, the development of the characters was weak, the side characters were meehh ... The chemistry was alright I guess, but mostly its a forgetful drama. Could've been better, but it really depends on you. For something light and mediocrity I could give it a pass, but its nothing special and mind blowing.Was this review helpful to you?
The Sky over The Star...
Haven't finished but I felt the need to write a review. I've watched both Star In My Mind and Sky In Your Heart and have come to the conclusion that Sky In Your Heart is significantly better. The characters aren't frustrating and convoluted for no reason and all of the miscommunications don't last longer than necessary. Sky In Your Heart has actually been a pleasant watch.The chemistry between Mek and Mark is A+, they give me all the butterflies with their simple looks. Honestly don't need to watch Star In Your Mind if you wanna see Kluen and Dao since they unnecessarily at times interrupt the flow of Fah and Prince's story, which is one of the negatives but doesn't bother me too much. Perhaps it helps the story isn't high school related but I prefer it so much more on all aspects.Will return to update once it's officially.

i tried so hard to find a nice part of this show to latch onto but . i tried
I usually try not to drop shows until I watched AT LEAST up to the third episode, even with short series but I finally just give up and admit that I'm never going to get around to watching the third episode, or ever finishing this series.Nothing about this appealed to me. I've seen a lot of people call the story a 1000stars ripoff, and I've never really been interested in watching that in the first place, so watching an objectively lower quality ripoff of it? No chance.
This show's counterpart, Star In Your Mind, kept me engaged when the lead characters were lacking because their friends were amusing or likeable. Here, I hated Fah, Fah's friends, none of the side characters interested me at all, (most of which seem to be kids except for that village girl), Prince was fine but didn't seem interesting or endearing enough for me to continue the show solely for him either.
There's a lot of things about this show that I usually wouldn't mind (ex: characters with unlikable traits with a clear reason) but really bothered me here. Fah and the friends are just unlikeable, irresponsible, and yes, I got that Fah was dealing with the heartbreak of his life but I couldn't dredge up much sympathy for his DUI or trying to skirt his volunteer duties as a /doctor/. I get that was maybe the point since it gives a good reason for Prince to like him but the show didn't give me much insight to that hardworking caring brother that Dao sometimes mentions either, past all of his jerkish character now. Like, Fah and his friends are all grown men, which is why it annoys me even more to see them act so irresponsible and--these are more on his friends than Fah tbh--not to mention, immature and spoiled.
I disliked the acting, which usually I would mostly brush past if I liked the characters or story enough, but I didn't. I didn't see much (if any) chemistry either, but I've only seen up to two episodes where the main couple still mostly didn't like each other so I would take that part of my review with a grain of salt.
Sorry to the people that really seemed to like this series but I hated this lmao. If you liked it, good for you! But my personal opinion is that this was close to unbearable. Sure the story is less basic "why don't you guys just talk" plot of SIMM but personally I would that than me finding like 90% of the characters in the show so unlikeable and uninteresting that I don't want to stick around to see if they have any redeeming parts to their characters at all. If.

A spin off that is worse than the original
I only watched 2 episodes, maybe it got better, it obviously couldn't get worse.The storyline was your normal Thai BL, straight guy goes up a mountain, meets a really obnoxious homosexual and turns Gay.
In the original drama the ML was straight and had a girlfriend, after being dumped and feeling devastated he decided to hit the hard stuff which got him into trouble. He then decided to try a different kind of hard stuff and that is how we got this terrible drama.
With the amount of straight men turning Gay in Thailand it is a wonder that there isn't a population decline.
Anyway, the drama was horrible, not really much more I can say about it.

good actors but terrible plot
what is this plot about again? there is barely anything going on, what im saying the plot is not interesting at alland i dont feel like forcing myself to watch when im bored asf, this has nothing to do with the actors as they look handsome and i think there is chemistry, the thing is the main thing about a show is the plot so unfortunately even those attractive actors coudnt keep me watching this
this show remind me a bit of tale of 1000 stars (about the place, environment), but 1000 stars is an amazing show that have an actual good plot (someone getting a chance to live again, secrets revealed etc ) ,while this one doesnt have anything going on it doesnt look interesting at all so it just looked like a weak remake of 1000 stars
i did notice this about gmmtv, they give us few good gems (good shows ,good plot) while others are all about romance ,dragging too much and barely any plot is going on
good some people love it, it work out for them, i just dont feel interested when there is no story and nothing is going on, they fill the eps with scenes that have barely anything going on in them

Sympathique, sans plus
Certaines personnes sont de la "team" "Star in my mind" et d'autres de la "team" "Sky in your heart". Même si j'ai beaucoup de critiques à formuler à l'encontre de la première, je crois que je suis plutôt de la team SIMM, principalement à cause de JoongDunk.Le premier problème que j'ai avec SIYH est que l'histoire m'a beaucoup trop rappelé A Thale of Thousand Stars, avec certains plans quasi copiés-collés. Le couple principal ne m'a pas enthousiasmée, et j'ai trouvé assez peu d'alchimie aux acteurs principaux. Alors certes, contrairement à SIMM, il y a une histoire. Mais je ne me suis pas laissée emporter.

Digna de aplausos
Assim como o primeiro arco, essa série é linda, repleta de clichês e lições. No final do primeiro temos um pequeno spoiler sobre o casamento e o acidente, mas a situação só é explicada de forma completa agora.Achei realmente linda a forma como as duas partes da série tem histórias tão diferentes, e mesmo assim se entrelaçam de forma perfeita, através do fato de Prince ser amigo de Khabkluen, o que vai fazer com que eles se reencontrem no final. Outro ponto que merece atenção é a família de Prince, que apesar de rica e aristocrática é bem moderna quando o assunto é amor.
Dentre as diversas temáticas, é maravilhoso ver a parte rural da Tailândia, aquela sem glamuor, inclusive mostrando problemas comuns do dia-a-dia dos aldeões, como costumes retrógrados de casamentos arranjados, o preconceito com pessoas que cometeram algum erro , a exploração dos mais ricos que não permitem que os mais pobres possam subsistir sem a dependência deles, a falta de suprimentos nessas comunidades distantes, e a tragédia que pode acontecer se alguém contrai alguma doença mais grave e não tem como chegar a tempo nas cidades.
A forma como o romance foi construído foi belíssima. Tudo de forma lenta e gradual. Aos poucos as barreiras de medo, dúvidas e traumas antigos sendo derrubadas à medida em que ambos abrem o coração um para o outro. A estratégia do amigo de falar que gostava do professor a fim de causar ciúmes em Fah, a maneira como retrataram os sentimentos do Tio Phang, que o levaram a ser alcoólatra. A forma como Prince faz questão absoluta de esconder sua origem e viver de forma simples. São recortes cheios de detalhes que fazem dessa série um drama tão profundo, sem perder a ponta de humor que fez toda a diferença.
A atuação é perfeita, a ost, tanto na voz de Louis como na voz de Mek é belíssima, a fotografia é impecável.
Umas das séries que cm certeza irei rever muitas vezes, e que mais faço questão de indicar.

mi ha fatto sognare
Ho amato l’idea di fare “Star and Sky” che ha due serie riguardanti due coppie vicine fra loro, secondo me è stata un’idea azzeccatissima in quanto è qualcosa di nuovo e fresco.Inoltre ho amato l’idea di fare un episodio speciale unico per entrambe le coppie, è molto comodo sia per i produttori che non devono faticare a trovare cosa raccontare per gli episodi speciali di entrambe le coppie, sia per i fan che hanno avuto tutto in un ep.
Passando alla storia in sé e per sé di Fah e Prince, devo dire di aver amato tutto, letteralmente TUTTO di loro.
Mi sono sempre sembrati cane e gatto, erano carinissimi, poi pian piano si sono innamorati e devo dire che ho amato come sia Fah che Muse siano stati maturi al riguardo, Fah ha fatto bene a dirglielo chiaro e ad essere preoccupato riguardo i sentimenti di Muse e quest’ultimo ha fatto bene a rivedersi e capire che era una cottarella momentanea che poi si era trasformata in sola ammirazione.
Nonostante Fah e Prince abbiano avuto molti problemi alla fine hanno resistito e di fatto il loro amore non si è spento mai.
Riguardo Prince devo dire che capisco un botto il fatto che non abbia detto di essere ricco e a quale famiglia appartenesse perché di fatto lui non faceva volontario per farsi riconoscere o robe del genere, lo faceva per propria volontà e morale, è una persona gentile, che non esibisce il suo denaro e che è onesta, poi sinceramente al mondo sono molte le persone false e disoneste quindi molti avrebbero potuto trattarlo bene solo per secondi fini, invece non dicendo il tutto si assicura di come le persone siano realmente.
Riguardo Fah, il fatto di essere un dottore l’ha stressato molto, in effetti questo suo essere impegnatissimo con il lavoro era stato già un problema con l’ex, che l‘aveva lasciato proprio per il suo non avere tempo da dedicarle e purtroppo lui non è riuscito a riprendersi da quella cosa per tantissimo tempo, fin quando non ha incontrato Prince.
Sinceramente è vero che non è bello avere un fidanzato che non ha molto tempo per te ed è anche vero che essendo adulti ci si debba rendere conto che avere un fidanzato che fa quel tipo di lavoro significa fare dei sacrifici e sopportare la mancanza e la noncuranza, purtroppo la situazione è questa e per quanto mi riguarda nonostante l’ex avesse un po' di sua ragione in quanto è vero che comunque non ti piacerebbe avere un fidanzato che ti trascura però allo stesso tempo è anche vero che dato il lavoro che fa e il fatto che tu sia adulta devi avere un po' più di pazienza e capire la situazione, cosa che l’ex non è riuscita a fare ma che invece Prince è riuscito a fare benissimo, devo dire che è stato molto maturo e mi ha fatto piacere come abbia capito la situazione, purtroppo per Fah è una situazione difficile e per cui non ha molta scelta.
L’unica persona che mi è stata proprio sul cazzo è Sincere, dico io chiudi quella fottuta bocca che sta cacciando solo merda ma dai, alla fine però mi ha sorpreso, sicuramente avrà capito che non aveva più speranza e da come ho visto aveva la valigia quindi doveva partire e sicuramente si sarà fatto due conti e avrà pensato che con Fah sicuramente Prince sarebbe stato meglio.
Vabbè in generale ho amato sta serie, è STUPENDA, poi nello speciale tutti carini aiuto, ho sorriso tutto il tempo vedendo l’insieme delle cose in Star and Sky, ne consiglio vivamente la visione.
