Cute & Sweet
This drama was really sweet and to the point...it’s the same old story - two cute guys pinning for each other because they suck at communicating their feelings. It should be all cute fluff, pure entertainment, feel-good watch. The story of Kluen and Daonuea is a classic tale of meeting your high school crush after entering college and falling in love .
There were some really bad points to this drama, especially when dao acted a little immature over the situation with Kluen and Gia, and understanding the franticness in Kluen voice, also the whole idea of lets do one date, when you knew full well that you were not interested, and stringing them along instead of just setting the record state from the start.
Kluen was cute to watch after 2moons2, so that was pleasant enough and possibly the only reason why I carried on watching it.
Overall: It was kind of sweet and cute, and looking forward to Fah story, hopefully this one will a little better and more mature.

BRO. Ok. The amount of emotions Ive gone through in these SIX episodes! Ive gone from screaming into my pillow, choking my pillow out, and almost crying. I SWEAR I CANT ITS TOO MUCH GIVE ME FLUFF. Anyways, though the main character, Daos acting isnt the best, I can sit with it and it doesnt make me uncomfortable. Ive seen sosososo many negative comments in the comment section, but let me just say that I havent felt anything negative towards this show while watching (except towards the main characters, of course) THE AMOUT OF STRESS I WENT THROUGH IN EPISODE 5, I WAS CHOKING OUT MY BLANKET WITH THE AMOUT OF FEELINGS. What I dont like is the "does he like me? I like him" WHEN HE'S SAID HE'S LIKED YOU SO MANY TIMES ALREADY. Otherwise, this show has been one of the best Ive watched in 2022, and I wasnt really expecting much from it. Its a standard thai bl drama, and its just a great watch. If you havent watched it, do it! No, its not the best, but its great to add to the watch list. ALSO JOONG, (actor who plays khun) IS SOSOSOSOOSOSOOO FINEEEEE like the most handsome actor ive seen.

I FELL IN LOVE
I absolutely love this show. From the very beginning I fell in love with the story, the leads, the chemistry that they share. OMG it makes my heart flutters with every single episode. The comedy of this show is so cute. I love it so much and rooting for Kluen & Dao. I have never re watched a episodes so fresh out as I have with this one. GMMTV you are doing a great job with this one. I can't wait for next week episode. Until then I will be re-watching the episodes until the next one is out. I will come back to update my final review of this show once it has reached it's completion.Was this review helpful to you?
A lighthearted watch
I loved this <3 It's not in a Bad Buddy or Not Me level (not even close) but I still loved it. Like it's sweet and got me giggling and all. And I honestly loved to see Joong in a main role (I don't know if it's just me but his eyes give me all the feelings that his character was feeling). What I liked the most was the cast and the calm and non-toxic storyline. This series is something to watch when you wanna have a lighthearted and warm ride. And the friends, mwuah <33Cast/acting: Cast was amazing, acting ok
Music: It was good, but didn't really catch my attention
Rewatch value: I don't rewatch series (excpet for UWMA, DSN and WBL)
Overall it was a nice, lovely watch. Nothing special but a good way to spend your time if you don't have anything else to do. I really liked it and can't wait to see the next season <3

A simple story but executed so badly
This gotta be the most basic ass series I have watched in a long time. So the story is a story old as time. Boy likes boy, boy tired of chasing boy, boy tries to get over the other boy but the now the other boy wants him and tries to get him back. So how did they ruin such a basic ass plot? There is one thing that I hate in this series. Its the lack of consent. Its 2022 and people still try pass kissing without consent romantic or acceptable in a series. NO, its not cute and it would never would be. Another thing that I hate is the dragging. It drags the story much with the misunderstandings. Like if the Kluen actually spoke and use his words even once it would have ended so many episodes ago. Now the acting.... to be honest, I like Dunk but boi his acting was kinda bad..The parts where he had to get emotional like being angry and crying were especially weird. I would laugh since I couldn't tell if he was about to sneeze or cry lol. GMMTV need to stop hiring actors for lead role if they cannot act, just because they are attractive doesn't cut it. I do hope he get better tho, cause I like Dunk and Joong's chemistry. The music is nice have no complains whats over. Joong has a nice voice. Now the rewatch value is high cause there are alot of cute moments. Overall, it was not bad not good but just ok. It started out nice but felt flat in the middle. So if want to watch this series just watch it but do not expect anything.Was this review helpful to you?
i finished this months ago but i have to say this
after seeing this series be hyped up like crazy on my tiktok fyp, i finally decided to watch it, and now i wish i didnt. i keep rewatching it like crazy. i have formed some sort of attachment to the characters idk how to deal with. i Never rewatch anything after in done with it bc i just dont have the patience for it. however i could watch this series 5 times back to back and i would still enjoy it like its my first time.theres nothing showstopping about the plot, its a pretty common thai bl plot, idk what sets it apart from other bls but its just. Different.
i just had to write this review and get these words off of my chest because ive been thinking of writing this review since the morning, where i decided to rewatch it for the 6th time.

better than the other one but not by a lot
That ending told me that I should have watched this one first instead of Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart. The other one has an 8.5, but this one I think is better. Its average was 8.3. I am supposed to be working on a research paper, but whatever. I love jealous ones; I am just going to say it. It shows they care, and I know it's so toxic, but they are so good. The reviews shouldn't be this low. It's not a bad show; there are no serious plot twists that make no sense. like it was expected, and that made me happy. I love these actors to death. Daonuea being worried about Kluen having a crush on him now because he likes him. I understand that. There were a lot of valid concerns that were relatable, and I liked that about it. The drunk scenes were consistent, and I like when dramas are consistent with their shit. Some characters actually served no purpose, but that's okay. Fah being that protective older brother was actually so cute. He cares so much, and it makes me happy. Dao saying that he's his brother but no one is listening was funny. Fah is my king, and there were a lot of moments with him and Dao, but we needed more older trouble with serotonin. It was adorable. It's not a bad show; it gets an 8 out of 10 stars from me. Okay bye!Was this review helpful to you?
But know that when it comes to love, I know nothing.
The chemistry between JoongDunk is through the roof! Before we even get a few minutes into the first episode, the two of them are giving each other love eyes. I think they both did an amazing job portraying their characters’ emotions. Even though Kluen (Joong’s character) does appear a bit cold at times, he shows a lot through his eyes.Their friends are probably the most supportive and patient group of people ever. Kluen and Dao keep going around in circles when it comes to their feelings and relationship. I can’t even imagine the amount of times the rest of the boys got to hear them moaning about their emotions. And yet they never ignore them. They are full of suggestions, some more helpful than others, but they never discourage Kluen and Dao. And the fact that Dao’s brother and Kluen’s mother probably know everything about the two is adorable!
Kluen & Dao: I am a sucker for second chance romances. As well as the right person at the wrong time plots. I feel like the story of Kluen and Dao is both of those and I was definitely here for that. Kluen is aware that he absolutely sucks at talking about his emotions, so hearing him tell that to Dao was really nice. I don’t think Kluen is cold or arrogant, but I do think he is more of an introvert. He has one close friend, Noel, and he is not one who really enjoys participating in events or meeting new people. This also might tie into the fact that he finds it hard to express his emotions to others. Dao is a bit more of a social butterfly. He can be shy, don’t get me wrong, but I think he finds it easier to make friends and there is something about him that makes people comfortable around him. I really think that the two are a good match for each other.
Let’s talk about Typhoon. I really hope he gets his happy ending at some point (Our sky 2, I am looking at you). He is a genuinely good person who wishes happiness for the ones he cares about, even if it means he is not the source of their happiness. He had his moments, I admit that, but he is still a character I really enjoyed watching. The fact he didn’t get into a relationship right away also speaks volumes about his character. He is not looking for a rebound, he is looking for his perfect match. Which is a very mature thing to do. And the right one too.
The locations are beautiful. The OST has this soft sound to it that I really enjoyed as well.

Typical BL and almost borderline of Cringe + Boring
I have so much high expectation of this since the director is New but it almost disappoint me a little bit after the climax of the plot. I mean I understand how Kluen's character were supposed to be but honestly, I wish he could show more expression like how he is so frustrated at himself for not knowing how to expression his feelings better. The tears I am seeing is not enough, its not sufficient. Joong is like a doll who produce tears but thats it. I'm not sure if its his acting or Kluen's character is really like that but I wish there is something more you know? I am really glad its just 8 episodes cause if its 12 episodes, bruh, i might die out of bored. I wish there are more heart throbbing scenes where Kluen is the one that help Dao with his assignments or take care of him in secret but its just blergh. I am a little bit disappointed to be honest but the way the plot develop before it reaches their climax really good. I feel so frustrated and Kluen for not saying anything so I guess that's good, right?I HATE DAO'S CHARACTER SO MUCH. Okay for someone that have a crush, he surely doesn't act like it. He looks like Kluen is the one that been chasing him. I mean there is no love in their relationship. Something is just NOT IT. When your crush said they like you back, shouldn't you feel butterflies or feel joy overload? But Dao is just.. oh okay. Nice, bruh. Like????? If you want to know how you were supposed to react, you really should watch 2 Moons ( the first one ) and the way Wayo shows how much he likes Phana really portrays how someone should act with their crush. But Dao? Not feeling it. I am sorry but I think they can do better than this because I like seeing them together but.. what is this???
JUSTICE FOR TYPHOON. WHERE IS THE SIDE PAIRING???? I mean okay fine there is side pairing but why must it be Fah x Prince??? UM HELLO??? TYPHOON DESERVES LOVE TOO LIKE WTF IS GOING ON????? Im sad.
KISS SCENES? LIKE BRUH. I feel so disappointed with their kiss scenes. Like WHAT IS THIS BRUHHH???? Kiss scenes are like what? 3 - 5 scenes only? But it's more like a peck and not like a real kiss. I don't feel it. Im sorry but I just don't. What is going on and why aren't they kiss passionately? Like fuck that shit 'we have innocent love'. BRUH. The kiss is just merely pressing against each other lips that's it. Im sorry but i am not loving it.
Overall, I think good actors, so-so plot, disappointing plot development.

Light hearted fun
personally Joong kinda reminds me of Archie in Riverdale so my expectations where not that high , but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like drama so honestly I found the conflicts really fun. I also really liked Joongs character.The most annoying thing about this is the fact that they always get called in the middle of the most important conversations and they always pick up the phone
The production is really good I love how Gmmtvs shows alwus feels like the color the title graphic is in and the repetitive use of the Sunflower is really cute
I would say if you don't mind a bit of stupid conflict definitely give it a watch.

Surprising
Very rarely I get to change my mind: when a drama is on my dropped list, it stays there and I usually do not give it a second chance. I was challenged into watching this so I gave it a go. And frankly, it was not as bad as I thought it would be.Star In My Mind is a drama about Dao and Kleun and their imagined unrequited love for each other. When Dao confesses before leaving for a trip, Kleun is flabbergasted and just utters a banality. They meet again a few years later at the University where they share a dorm. After a few wrong moves, they eventually find common ground and love.
I had dropped this after the first episode, the cringe factor (the confession) was just too much for me to bear. But surprisingly, that cringiness disappears and we get a straight forward rom com together with all the usual tropes, misunderstandings, another love interest, helpful friends. Another surprising absence is the adults (parents, teachers etc.) since none of the characters work, they must be financed somehow in order to study. But we do not know really how (most of them apparently come from well off families!).
As somebody pointed out already, there are no side couples in this drama: there are friends in their group flirting but nothing is mentioned let alone fleshed out. This drama is only about Kleun and Dao. I found this a refreshing change from the usual thai bl formula where there are usually two more couples adding nothing to the plot but wasting time.
The actors had a surprisingly good chemistry probably because the characters they played were the complete opposites: Kleun a taciturn popular guy and Dao an expressive artist. Joong is an awful actor: he has a single facial expression: brooding. He might be handsome but he is like a doll. Dunk was surprisingly good. He has an interesting voice and managed to be slightly better than Joong. They appeared to be at ease with each other and did not shy from contact.
The rest of the cast were just there not to have the stage empty. They were there as support for the main leads and we never did get to know them. Which is ok since it made the series shorter and more compact and therefore easier to watch. The only character that gets a bit more time is Fah, Dao's older brother who is the star of the second series. ??
This series was a surprisingly decent watch and I ended up liking it more than the second part Sky In Your Heart. To be watched while doing something else....

Cute but that's all there is
The key to watching this drama is to not have an expectation. This is a cute (seemingly) one sided love of college students and everytime they do something stupid, I think of myself at 18 which makes it tolerable really.Most people have issues with Kluen (Joong) being the literal worse at communication but honestly I have found so many men older than him who's the same or even worse. Like his case is way more tolerable because he's inexperienced really, and this is his first time experiencing romantic love.
I also found Dao extremely endearing - he's still in his people pleaser era and is still learning how to be kind and not just "nice", which he admitted! Gotta appreciate him for self reflecting.
So I like this drama better than some of the MDL reviews here, but I just don't think the storyline is memorable in any way at all. Like the whole plot is just about a long winded high schooler/college love story which I have experienced firsthand within my friend group previously which is a bad indication cause I'm a wholly boring person.
Anyways it's still worth a watch if you don't have anything else to do. Not for the plot but more for the cast.
