Did I like it? YES would i ever watch it again? NO
On the surface level, I really enjoyed the show even rated it overall 8.5 . It was exactly the mindless fluff college students based show that I could watch with my brain completely shut off, just watching the pretty people on the screen (especially Thomas in glasses). It provided me THE DOPAMINE kick that got me to binge the show show in a day. But on a more deeper level, the show had a mid story and acting carried forward by only the 'chemistry' between the leads, decent soundtrack and good cinematography.Some of the issues with the show:
1. Teerak/s infantilization - you can make a university aged guy innocent and bubbly basically the sunshine character without portraying him like a 2 dimensional over sized infant. The way he spoke and acted was cringe-worthy making me question how is he almost 20 years old.
2. Acting by the leads - I know that most of the cast was new and I understand they would slowly learn on the job. While Kong's acting improved during the show, Thomas remained very stiff with only a single 'grumpy' expression in scenes outside of romantic ones. even if he was playing the scary grumpy sunshine protector, he could have expressed that with a bit more effort. That being said, show was carried by Thomas's face card so a few more expressions on there will be chef's kiss. The rest of the cast (aside from Punlee who did well with what he was given ) were unremarkable.
3. Mike - I hate to say this but as someone who has been watching BL's for some years now - I am quite familiar with Mike and he looked absolutely out of place in this show. He was too old and in my head he belongs to a different generation of actors. Would be nice if he could find some work with people that match his experience and better characters because honestly he can do so much better than this.
4. Over accomplished young master - I found Thomas as this great young master who can handle all the business and meetings and deals not convincing at all. He can rock a formal suit but still looks a bit too young for me to imagine him in that setting. His character could have been better written to better assimilate him into the show.
Overall I think the show was shining and inviting on the surface but lacked depth that would make you stay and come back time and time again. I think i would not have kept up with the show if I had seen it weekly instead of as a binge. Seeing the last few production from this company shows that they need to pay and look for a team of better writers otherwise they would slowly fade away dragged down by mediocre plots and 2 dimensional characters. The actor's acting seemed good enough for the level of the script although I would be rooting for them and hoping for a improvement in the future.

too much
I feel incredibly sorry for Kong. The story itself is good, but his role is just too much in every way. Too cute, too childish, too predictable, too annoying, and unfortunately simply boring. It hurts me to write this, but for me it’s so uninteresting that it’s the first BL I can’t bring myself to finish. I really hope that Kong gets a more “mature” role in Magic Lover, one that’s still playful, but more grown-up. Kong, like Thomas, is a great actor; he was just unlucky with the role he was given.Was this review helpful to you?

How far can you pretend to be in love?
It is probably one of the most cliche storylines if you could ever think of something. A pretend love, and in the end, one actually gets caught in their own plan. I overlooked a lot of the flaw in the series because of how handsome Thomas is. I fr cannot take my eyes off him when he appears. However, the series does not only revolve around Thomas, but there is an actual plot in this series. Let's begin!First and foremost, it's VERY dragging. There are a lot of scenes where you could think that "The plot would have still been the same if this scene was here or not." Next, some scenes seem so rushed. They did not even put any hints or foreshadowing regarding that subplot. the Girlfriend fiasco, it was so unnecessary! The plot would've stayed the same whether there was a girlfriend or not! It was so irrelevant! and it was something much like a last-minute idea.
Next, the MC's childish behavior. I don't have any problem regarding the MC's personality. The only thing that is cringe-worthy is the kiss on the head; that's my only problem with it.
The rushed side couples... SO, this is kind of a take from me, but I feel like the side couples were so unnecessary. I get it; there are others who want to be part of the romance but not to the point that it looks rushed? There was not enough buildup to the relationships, not enough information. It was all just a "misunderstanding" and I was "drunk" is so overplayed. They could easily make at least some essence in the side characters regarding their arch.
The Title. Your Sky... I hate it-- It is so predictable, and the I'm Your Sky and You're My Sea is actually so NOT it. There could have been a different, better title than Your Sky. The explanation they always do about the definition of "Sky" and "Sea" is so redundant. There is meaning to it, but no essence.
The Beach Scenes. Been there, done that; stop this, please. Many, I mean MANY BL's have at least an episode where they go to the beach, and I am so over this subplot actually. It's just so predictable and already overplayed.
Another thing that I find so needless is the fact that Fah and his friends run a Bar??? It was so not needed, but I know it was there so that there could be the idea of Fah being independent and someone who is reliable and mature.
On the other hand,
I am a sucker for handsome leads, and Thomas did an amazing job. I love the acting they have in this, and I do not find it off or forced. It seems natural, but also too calm. I would love to see the actors have more various emotions portrayed. The MC's family did an amazing job as well. They gave justice to the feeling of being hurt, being angry, and being forgiven. I could not bear myself to watch the confrontation scene between the MC and His Dad because it felt THAT realistic. It's like you are in the living room with them.
I also see the problems of other reviews about the maturity of the theme, but I do not see anything wrong with it. If they say it's fluff, then so be it. Relationships do not revolve around lust but rather the intimacy between the people. I love how after Fah gets accepted as the MC's boyfriend, they try to go all in but stop midway due to the MC not being ready. If you are looking for hardcore and mature BL, this is NOT for you. Do you see the poster? It's blue and cute! It's supposed to be like that.
All in all, this series is a good one-time thing. I do not see myself watching this series, but rather just reminiscing about it. If you're someone who is here for the 'kilig' or good-time series, this is it for you. It might be bland with no character at all, but it still manages to deliver what it is. A series about a fake relationship becoming true.

Light hearts and Sweet series
After watching the series I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it greatly. Its major in the fluffy department and full of sweet tender moments. The acting was good and there was good chemistry. I enjoyed the pairing for the most part. I liked how the showed the slow grow and very real moments of faking to becoming real. It has a lot of tender sweet moments. I found it did make me laugh and cry especially at the end. The end was a bit surprising with the parents especially dad but was well done over all if a bit dramatic at times as well. If you enjoy fluffy series of tender and sweetness then this is it. I really over all enjoyed everything about it and was a change pace. The cast was great and i loved the friends and how they slowly get there own relationships.Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely Would Rewatch
I usually don't write reviews but this was just so good i had too. I loved the OST and the actors did a great job, especially the side couple Real and Hia. I loved them when I typically don't like side couples in dramas. I would totally recommend this for someone looking for a cute fluffy bl. I hope this review makes more people decide to watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
one of the cutest series
One of the best and cutest school series ever. Sybau people with absolutely trash taste. "The protagonist is infantilized, blah blah blah blah" nobody cares. He’s such a cutie and he can be like that ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWas this review helpful to you?
Predictable plot but STILL SO CUTE
With its fake-relationship-turned-real-lovers plot, the series is giving 2gether energy. A clueless freshman agrees to be in a fake relationship with a popular senior, only to fall in love with him over time.In 2025, I would think that this type of storyline has become predictable and boring. So why did I love this so much???
I get serious butterflies whenever Muenfah and Teerak spend time alone together under the guise of “learning to act like a couple”. Man, this trope never gets old.
Was I happy with how Teerak’s family conflict was resolved? Not entirely. It seemed a little too quick and easy. But for the BL world, that’s a fairly standard timeline and decent ending I guess.

YAY
I am slightly biased as fake dating is my all time favourite trope and I pretty much love all fake dating books and shows but this was one of the first bl's i had ever watched and I fell in LOVE with Thomaskong. The show was slightly cringy at some points but it's nothing awful.It includes popular x unpopular, fake dating, high school and some others. It's definitely not enemies to lovers but their first few encounters had a bit of one-sided dislike from Muenfah.
Great storyline, loveable characters and overall definitely recommend this show.

Wish I could rewatch it for the first time all over again
I loved this story so much! The chemistry between the main two as well as the other characters is amazing! I looked forward to the new episodes every week and was so sad when it was done!All the relationships in this show were so healthy! It's not very often that happens, most the time we just have to overlook that it's toxic, but not here! I loved the relationships so much!
ThomasKong killed this and I need to see them in more ASAP! I fell head over heels for Thomas right from the start.
The spice was fantastic as well!

I’d watch ThomasKong watch paint dry
I’m a total SUCKER for fake dating plot lines and then add on top of that it being same sex couples *take all my moneyyyyy*. I mean this with my whole chest when I say you can’t convince me this drama was bad when Thomas and Kong were the leads. Their chemistry just had me giggling and kicking my feet like I was a whole fifteen year old.Baby any drama where the kissing isn’t dead fish and the cast is cute call me seated. But no fr jokes aside, the drama was cute and light with fluff. I do think the cast could use a little more experience with acting but I’d forreal watch anything they’re in.

Not even gonna sugar coat ts
Honestly the worse show I've ever watched. And that's a feat for me who rates everything 10/10 cause I can't be asked. It's boring and just boring. Actings trash too. Id skip ahead and they'd still be in the same scene and playing the same background music for 20 minutes. And I tried watching this 3 times, it's 2026...this came out in 2024. 2 years I've been trying get through episode 2 and I fall asleep every damn time. It was torture. Slice of life done bad, how uneventful. I'm not one of those, just skip this persons. Actually I want you to watch it just so u can come back and tell me I was right. Go on ahead.0.5 /10 highly recommend
Acting so terrible, 1 star cause atleast they showed up
Story was good but they did nothing with it
Music = repetitive
Rewatch value? Can't I rate 0 stars on here?
Overall is 0.5, whcih I can't even rate that low, even mdl doesn't believe a show could be this bad
