Fish upon the Sky

Laughed the whole show!!

This is my second time watching this series, and it did not get boring! It was one of the best BLS I watched, considering that the first time, i was very new to the Thai TV environment. This was the second ever Thai bl I've watched(The first being Bad Buddy). The comedic scenes had me laughing. Every character was well portrayed.
Pi is very insecure about his looks and changes himself so he can impress Muang Nan. P'Phuwin portrayed Pi's insecurity very well and showed how it feels to be looked down on and only appreciated when favors are to be done. Mhok on the other hand is very social, popular, and center of the attention. But he was REALLY patient. The most patient and calm soul I've seen in a series😌
The side ship was the biggest reason I was here for seconds. Duean x Meen. I love P'Neo Trai, so I was bound to love his ship. Duean was my ultimate favorite character. He was such a good brother! And a very good boyfriend to Meen as well. Duean is an idiot(in love, hehe...I'll stop) and is very loud, annoying, and has a hardcore outer personality. But deep within, he's sensitive and caring for the people he loves. Meen is a very nerdy boy who knows exactly what he wants. An A+ scholar, and an allrounder in studies. He's very innocent and naive but not to the point it annoys the shit out of you.

If you're into Rom-Coms, let me tell you, this show is right up your ally.

Manages to still be a fun ride despite multiple flaws

NO-SPOILER REVIEW

This series starts off with a promising, if cliché, premise, but it unfortunately struggles through the middle because of some issues around character motivations and storytelling. It manages to pull things together toward the end and the result is a fun and lighthearted series despite many frustrating parts along the way.

Pros
- Two relatively fresh leads that are cute and have good chemistry
- Unexpected charming side couple that keeps things interesting
- Surprisingly funny at times
- Tackles themes around insecurity and privacy in a way that isn't often done in similar dramas

Cons
- Character motivations weren't really developed well which made some characters and their feelings hard to believe
- The characters don't always act reasonably which can be extremely frustrating as a viewer
- The middle part of the series suffers from issues around storytelling overall but if you can pull through this, things do get better

Overall
- This can be an enjoyable series if you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it as a comedy. There's a good enough balance of fun moments to counter the moments of frustration.

MOKPI I love you

Pi feels like a reflection of who I am, and in many ways, I feel like I am Pi. The connection I have with his character is almost unsettling because of how deeply I relate to him. His stubbornness, his awkwardness, his weird little habits, and the way he navigates the world all feel incredibly familiar. There’s something comforting about seeing a character who isn’t perfect, who doesn’t always know how to express himself, yet still deserves and receives love. Pi reminds me that being different, strange, or difficult doesn’t make someone unlovable — it simply makes them human.

Mok’s character, on the other hand, represents everything I want in my life and in love. The way he understands Pi, supports him, and stays patient even when things are messy makes me feel deeply emotional. Mok’s love feels safe, steady, and unconditional. Watching him care for Pi makes me feel seen in ways I didn’t expect, as if someone is finally saying, “You are enough exactly as you are.” That kind of love feels rare and precious, and it resonates with a part of me that longs for the same warmth and reassurance.

Beyond the emotional depth, I absolutely love the kind of comedy and humor the series delivers. It’s silly, unhinged, and completely unserious in the best way possible. The crackhead energy, the chaotic timing, and the ridiculous moments hit exactly the spot for me. It’s the kind of humor that feels free, weird, and unapologetic — and I crave that. I don’t just enjoy it; I fully vibe with it. That blend of heartfelt emotions and unfiltered, chaotic comedy is what makes the series feel so special to me.

This show means more than entertainment. It’s comfort, chaos, love, and laughter all wrapped together. I rewatch it often because it makes me feel understood, loved, and emotionally alive.

SO FLUFFY!!!!! <3

It's definitely tough to follow a phenomenal series, but Fish Upon the Sky is giving a much-needed light, hilarious story. It's not trying to be too deep / dramatic, but it's being realistic with late adolescent beauty standards + transformation. I know Phuwin is hella attractive no matter what they do to his face, but we can never discount the fact that Pi's insecurities are valid, real and actually happening. Many people say it's predictable, I'd say DUH. But it's fun and the more interesting thing about this predictability is actually how they're gonna unfold the story. Everyone knows what's gonna happen -- and it's still fun -- but the one we should be looking forward to is rather how the director is going to bring it to life. I also appreciate the 4th wall breaking of Deuan's character + the narrator. Adds a whole new dynamic to the comedy of the series.

For fun / fluffy series like this, I usually try not to be too deep / critical about it because they're definitely for laughs, fun and definitely the swooooons. So far, I'm getting the most of these. LOVE IT!

♥️ from ??

This is just a very lively and bubbly series... It is fun to watch and it will really make your mind very imaginable... The cast are great and I personally love their chemistry... The storyline is smooth and very light... It will make your heart flutter along with the amazing set of OSTs... I think this will be one of the successful and unforgettable series ever made in the BL history... Lets keep supporting them and may their couple become true hahaha...

This is just my personal opinion and point of view... You bashers can hate it all you want because it is what you feel... I just hope that you will not feel lost or dejected on the latter part... You keep saying that you hate it and it is not funny or it is not good but you still keep on watching... What a great hobby you have there... That's all...

Perfect start

I admit, trailer didn't ring a bell for me. Too caothic. No more. I love every facet of this 1st episode. The narrator voice, the actor, the choice of them. Leader male actors are perfect. Good choice of music.
The start is like a bomb dropped to audience, after that there is a full immersion in the life of the carachters.
So perfect timing. Finally something a little different. Not the usual... "sorry I like girls" situation.

I'll sure write more after 2nd episode, but I think this is a prokising start for a funny and lovable drama. I always wish to read the novels, but english translation arevthe worst possible.

Fish Upon The Sky is a game changer in the bl world

We have always seen bls where a guy refuses to date another guy because he's straight or something, but this is different. Pi (Phuwintang) is not totally openly gay, but he admits that he has a crush on mueng nan (mix) who seems to have a thing with mork (pond) who has a thing for pi. This series has so much to unravel as it is not the same as all the series you have watched.

The cast choice for this is immaculate, pond and phuwin really fits well to each other. As well as louis and neo. Gmmtv picked a cast of rookies and actors who have been in the industry for years now. It is really worth watching.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the series that will get pretty close to 2gether's success. Pond and Phuwin will be one of the most famous couples.

The series should have focused on the main characters

At first it was a bit weird to see Phuwin and Neo as brothers, since they worked so well as friends, and a bit more, in 'Cause You're My Boy. But it helped with the scenes they had together, since they already had chemistry.

Duean’s scenes with Pi, his family and friends are great. But unfortunately, most of the time he’s on screen is paired with the worst part of the show: Meen. He’s such an annoying character. He acts like as if a 12 year old teen got stuck in a college age guy’s body. Thankfully their story is pretty much skippable in a rewatch of the show, you just need to forward until the aspect ratio goes back to normal.

Our main couple I enjoyed way more. Pi and Mork work well together. But I feel like the show could have set them together around episode 7, and not try to make Pi go for Nan again. They didn’t need to be happy or dating officially from ep. 7 to the end, but I feel like we could have had more sweet movements between them. The drunk night with the rain scene was a perfect example of moments we would have. I think it wouldn’t have made the last episode so rushed If they got together earlier. Also, the friends reveling that she has feelings for Mork was just unnecessary. I was prepared to praise the show for not doing that.

The ugly duckling aspect of the show is very forced. First, it’s not like Pi changed that much. And above all, I don’t like the fact that Mork used his voice as Pi’s only friend to point everything wrong with him and try to make him change. I was very surprised with how well Pi took the reveal about Mork being his Facebook friend. It’s quite the betrayal, since he opened up and told his secrets to Mork, and he used that to get his way.

I’m also very frustrated with how this show wasted Mix. I understand that they might have had him for only a limited time, but his character is very one note all the time. I also feel like the professor that only spoke in English was random. The older brother and the mom drama did not contribute anything to the series.

Surprisingly, the shippers here didn’t annoy me so much as in other series. But they caused much of the couple problems.

I didn't expect that FUTS will be that "good"

Fish upon the Sky (FUTS) is a good series. It is not that heavy compared to other Thai series that I have watched on GMMTV's channel. It offers or gives a cool or refreshing storytelling method; I think this has so much potential if the story/plot is better.

I am not saying that the story or plot is not good. In fact, I kind of liked it. It has a cliche storyline like the usual boy love series that I have watched so far: the enemy-to-lovers plot. I was just hoping that the writers delved more into how Mork (Pond) fell in love with Pi (Phuwin) because it was not clearly mentioned or narrated in the story as they just simply showed a scene where Pi and Mork directly interacted with each other.

The characters cannot be real. They do not have the quality of realness, they are really fiction characters. Mork was depicted to be a "coward" in confessing his affection or at least showing it in the first parts of their story before being friends and couple. It is somehow confusing how Mork totally overcome his "fear" of approaching Pi while being directly flirty with him when Pi started to interact with Nan (Mix).

I think Phuwin did a good job of acting. I think he portrayed his character well. Pond has still this "newbie-vibe" in the industry but still was able to do his job well. They have good chemistry, I just hope that they will be given a better project with better storyline and script soon. On the other hand, the character of Duean was overacted to the point that sometimes it is already cringing and not funny anymore. Meen was good and his character was really convinceable; I did not expect that he sang the official sound track (OST) of the series not until I finished watching it and searched for the OST.

Moreover, the music and sounds used in the series are good. I got addicted to it for weeks.

On the whole, I can say that I can recommend it to others who are looking for series that are light-hearted and somehow heart-warming. I am waiting for season 2 with better plot and improved acting skills of actors.
