The Sun from Another Star

Honest opinion

First things first, this is going to be a hard review for me. I will be honest that I have a hard time separating my opinion as someone who read the novel, especially that TSFAS is my favorite BL novel.
Watching it was very special to me. To see Arthit and Daotok not just in my imagination but literally as real people. Them choosing Ngern and Oat to do this is the best part. They were able to portray ThitDao well. And of course, we also got the best person for Direk — Jab. Other cast also did a good job, especially our Mae Min. I think my only negative take with the casting was Dao’s two fathers. I can’t see the chemistry and the actors’ connection with the characters.
As I said, it’s hard for me not to compare it to the novel, but I still believe that they were able to make it a good series. The story is still there. They were still able to make me cry with DoMin and the hidden sadness of Arthit.
But one thing I really noticed were those small things that were not included in the series. For others, it might be small, but those were what ThitDao was made of. Those small details that show Arthit’s gentleness and vulnerability. That show why Dao is Dao. The little moments that show how genuine and magical their love is. I love the Arthit that I saw in the series, but he was not the Arthit I fell in love with while reading the book. It’s missing some small elements, but then again, those small things are the reason why I love Arthit and Daotok so much.
Overall, I still appreciate the series for what it gave and how it brought the story to life. It may not be exactly how I imagined it, but it still holds a special place in my heart. And maybe that’s okay, because some stories are just meant to feel different when they leave the pages and become real.

Sits at the top of the driveway

LET ME KEEP GOING. Okay, next up are Dao and Arthit, and I lowkey loved them. I thought their story was really good, so let's get into my review. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. And I'm going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and then an episode overview.

Starting off strong was the start. Unlike our previous couple, their start was actually really good, and I feel like it actually set this show up perfectly. It showed all of the characters as well as all the relevant background characters, and it was very to the point, which is always nice to see.

OH MY GOD. The next thing I liked was THE GIRL WHOSE BF DIED. I fucking loved that. And you know, I should hate that; I really should, because it was kind of an irrelevant plot line to take away from our main couple, but they made me wanna fucking BAWL MY EYES OUT. I loved every second of them, and I will never get them out of my head ever. I need a sequel where it is just them; I don’t play. God, they make me so sad. But I love them.

Going back to our main couple, I also loved taking things slow. It didn't really feel awkward; it lowkey felt just right, and I enjoyed that a lot, y'all have no idea. Just great with everything, including the love, because neither of us were quite ready for a relationship just yet, and we really need to grow as people before we grow together.

THE MOM. Okay, so I hate on San Francisco later in my review, but the fact that she died on Christmas and he spent so long trying to talk to her, and she was just dead. I don't know if I will ever be okay, because what the fuck. That was just so sad, and they brought that to life really well, so good job to them again (at the cost of my sanity this time).

Another thing I liked was, once again, the friend groups; they were so lovely to see, oh my god. Johan and Arthits' relationship was such a gift, and I love it. They are pretty similar and also not, but I just really enjoyed them on screen together even if they were arguing. Also, Arthit and North being close was also really cute (peak Bas with the middle part because I don’t play about him).

Moving on to things I didn’t like. WHY WERE WE ON SCOOBY DOO AH MANHUNT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF EPISODES, YALL GONNA PISS ME OFF SILLY I SWEAR TO GOD.

SAN FRANCISCO, KEEP MY SECOND HOME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHHHHH. THERE IS NOWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT; THE ENTIRE CITY IS ON TOP OF ITSELF. DON'T PISS ME OFFFFFF.

Regarding our love story, I think we did a good job at the start, and then when he asked him to be his boyfriend, it kind of felt like a middle finger to all the progress we were making, so that was kind of irritating. I just wished they spaced that out better.

On more stuff I didn't like, episode 14. If you have seen this, you know what happens here, and if you haven't, well, spoiler time...like always. There is a scene in this where Arhit comes onto Dao, and then Dao pushes him off after Dao kisses his neck and all that. And while he did apologize and they work through that, that was ultimately a dislike for me, because it felt kind of unnecessary in a way; I don't know, like he didn't NEED to come on to him. Just something about BL shows: they love their sexual assault. And well, I do acknowledge that this happens a lot in real life, and in that aspect it makes this a good representation; it felt very out of character for Arthit and along with that the storyline.

And then finally one short note on stuff I didn’t like: the final episode. Something about this season and their final episodes was just so lackluster and had me really disappointed. I feel like they set the standards so high and just wrecked them, like please can we lock in I BEG. But yeah, that’s kind of it for this one.

Episode overview time. Episode 10: "A week episode because we were on a scooby doo ah manhunt." Episode 11: "EVERYONE FUCKING AMERICAN HOLY SHIT ALSO CALI WAS WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME, I DIDN'T LIKE THAT, ONE BIT." Episode 14: "Arhit is a Saint Bernard lowkey." Episode 15: "ONEY MAKES PEOPLE PISSEDDDD, HENCE WHY ARTHIT JUST GOT FUCKING DROPPED, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? Johan hating on Arthit but will jump at the opportunity to save him, I love that.” Episode 16: “Why is the grandma's name golden shower? R. Kelly ah grandma.” “I hate to not be the woker, but I wish they fucked again. BECAUSE OAT AND THOSE SEXY EYES CAN GET ITTTTTT.”

I don’t know if they were my favorite couple or if the final one is my favorite, but they are pretty close. Overall, I actually enjoyed this, and it was lowkey really well done, so do check it out when you have the chance. Okay bye!

Bored Out Of My Mind

Story: The story is great, in my opinion. I just feel like the episodes do not do it justice. I was hooked the first three episodes, but after that, I was fighting sleep. Seeing all the comments about the novel, I will definitely give that a try. I am sure I will enjoy the novel a thousand times more.

Acting: I honestly felt the actors had no chemistry (I know, I'm sorry). The kiss scenes were stiff and made me a bit uncomfortable. The only one who ate down with the acting for me was North (he was not an eyesore), but Arthit and Jonah standing outside in leather jackets smoking was the cringiest, worst acting performance I've seen in a while. The child actor who played Emma performed circles around the main cast. She ate down!

Music: The music was boring, which went great with the show.

Overall: This was a miss for me.

NgernOat is Gonna be an Official Pair Right? RIGHT!!

Omg where to begin I LOVED this storyline!! I was skeptical at first with the ghosts and that whole storyline lol but it was fine. I am big on chemistry and boy did Arthit an Dao deliver SOULMATES!!

This couple is coming real close to my love of Jo and North in this universe. I wish we had more timeeee, give me a full at least 12 ep season with them please!!! 8 ep was not enough, all I can hope is we get more of them in the next part of this season.

I absolute loved Arthit and Ngern freaking crushed this role!! The slowly falling in love to being absolutely obsessed with Dao, ugh I ate that upppp. Black cat/ golden retriever is my absolute favourite and that is Arthit and Dao. I want to rewatch this over and over again, I need a special episode, I just need MORE. I wanted to give this a 9 so bad cause I truly truly loved it so much but my only qualms were I wasn't super into the solving the ghost murder lol and I love you Oat but the English with his dad was just too cringe...

Still highly recommend and I will be rewatching, this was so good I’m so sad it's over!!

They really did shine like a star

Unexpectedly awesome. At first, I wasn’t sold on the supernatural element since it was such a major shift from what we’ve seen in the franchise before. However, once I started watching, the show blended fun and drama at its core. I’m always a fan of stories where a living person helps solve a ghost’s death, especially when it’s done right, and here, it truly works.

One of the series' biggest emotional highlights is the heartbreaking story of Do and Meen. A man who died in Dao’s condo, with his girlfriend falsely accused of his murder. The pacing and the gradual buildup of tension were handled really well. This storyline also lays the foundation for Arthit’s deep emotional arc, particularly his grief over losing his mother.

Personally, Arthit’s character was the biggest standout of the entire franchise. He completely owns this sequel, alongside Dao. I love their contrasting personalities. It makes their dynamic even more engaging. I also kept falling for Ngern throughout the show. He’s seriously H.O.T. The tattoos, the muscles, the rugged masculinity; it’s all very striking. But beyond that, his acting performance is consistently strong, which makes his character even more appealing.

What really works for the main couple is how honest and straightforward they are about their feelings. It’s refreshing to see a “dog-and-cat” dynamic that avoids unnecessary cliches and instead focuses on emotional clarity. I also loved every scene shared between Arthit and Direk. Their father-son bond brought such feel-good moments to the series.

Overall, it’s a cleverly written show with a strong cast. I genuinely enjoyed watching it. While there are occasional plot holes here and there, they’re not enough to take away from the experience. In the end, I’m just happy I got to feel the warmth of Arthit and Dao’s sun-and-star story.

a story that is deeper than it seems

This series honestly feels like a quiet ache in the best way possible. The Sun from Another Star takes a supernatural concept -talking to spirits - and turns it into something deeply human. At its core, it’s not about ghosts at all, but about grief, healing, and unexpectedly falling in love while trying to hold on to the past.

The story follows Daotok, an artistic and introverted boy who can communicate with spirits, and Arthit, his neighbor who pulls him into a search for his late mother’s soul. What starts off as something almost forced slowly becomes something much softer - and much deeper. The more they chase after the story of Arthit's mom, the more their connection to each other grows, and that emotional shift is what makes the series stand out.

Daotok is such a refreshing character. He’s quiet, observant, and carries this constant sense of isolation because of his ability. He doesn’t open up easily, but you can feel everything he’s going through in the smallest moments. There’s a gentleness to him that makes his character really compelling, especially as he slowly lets Arthit into his world.

Arthit, on the other hand, is more intense and driven. His grief is what fuels the story, and while that makes him come off as pushy at the beginning - especially in the way he drags Daotok into helping him - it also makes him very real. He’s not perfect, but that’s the point. As the series goes on, you see him soften, and his emotional dependence on Daotok becomes one of the most important parts of the story.

Their chemistry is where the show really shines. It’s a true slow burn - nothing rushed, nothing exaggerated. Their relationship builds through shared experiences, quiet conversations, and moments of vulnerability. The tension at the beginning slowly fades into understanding, and eventually into something that feels safe and genuine. It’s not loud or overly dramatic, but it hits harder because of how natural it feels.

The atmosphere of the series is soft and slightly melancholic, almost dreamlike at times. It doesn’t rely on big dramatic twists or intense action, which can either be a strength or a weakness depending on what you’re looking for. On one hand, it allows the characters and emotions to take center stage. On the other, the pacing can feel a bit too slow in certain parts, and the plot itself isn’t very intense.

The supernatural element is interesting, but it’s not explored as deeply as it could’ve been. It feels more like a tool to reflect the characters’ emotions rather than a fully developed system. Similarly, while the side characters do their job in supporting the story, some of them could’ve been given more depth.

Overall, The Sun from Another Star is a soft, emotional, character-driven series that lingers with you. It’s not about big moments - it’s about small ones. It’s about learning to let go, finding comfort in someone else, and realizing that even in the middle of loss, something new can grow.

It’s not perfect, but if you’re into slow-burn romance with emotional depth and a slightly haunting atmosphere, this one is definitely worth watching.

I just needed one more episode

As part of Fourever You Project Part 2, this was the story that felt the most different to me, mainly because of the supernatural element, which gave it a slightly heavier and more emotional tone. I really liked the contrast between Arthit and Dao, one so chaotic, loud, and full of life, the other quiet, gentle, and carrying something more introspective. Their dynamic worked naturally, and I enjoyed watching how their connection slowly took shape without forcing big moments. At the same time, I can’t help but feel like it ended too quickly. Everything wrapped up in a way that felt a bit rushed, especially considering the emotional potential of the story. I kept thinking that just one more episode would have made a huge difference, to give more space to their relationship and let certain moments breathe. Even with that, I still enjoyed it a lot, and I really hope we get to see more of them in the future, because it feels like there’s still something left to explore.

Good story and acting

Honesty it was very easy to enjoy this drama and root for the characters, it had a unique plot with the ghosts that somewhat played a role in the show, it was generally used to provide a reason for the characters to get close but didn't really impact the story after the conflict was resolved, but was interesting and entertaining nonetheless, the acting was good and the romance was cute as well, overall a good watch and would recommend it. I can't say much about the music as I'm not someone who pays attention to it very often, I usually stick to the story, dialogue, and acting but from from what I could tell, the music worked with the dialogue to guide the emotions of the viewer and didn't feel out of place.
