A Good, Solid Show
This story was really good and really sweet, and honestly I did like it better than its companion show, Star in My Mind. The story was light and fun, and while I would have liked the side characters to be a bit more fleshed out, I had a great time watching.
Mek, of course, was amazing in this show. I think I love him even more than I did before, and I need to see a million more shows with him as the lead! He's handsome and charming, and he has great comedic timing for the funny bits in the show. He was wonderful at making me love and root for Fah, even when Fah wasn't always making the right choice. The other actors in the show were great, too (loved seeing Toptap and Prigkhing!!), but Mek definitely shined above the rest.
The story, overall, was really nice, too. I liked watching Fah and his friends adjust to life in the village and come to appreciate all the village had to offer. Fah and Prince's back and forth was adorable and so fun to watch, and I loved watching them fall for each other.
My main complaint with this show is something I also complained about in Star in My Mind: the plethora of love rivals. It felt like, with both shows, they didn't bother with any other means of conflict besides love rivals! Both shows had four (4) people in love/interested in the same person! And I'm sorry, Prince and Dao were not hot or interesting enough to warrant so much attention.
None of the love rivals in Sky were even really developed well, either. They each came and went quickly, lasting as an obstacle for a couple episodes before the next one took over. Personally, I think love rivals being the driving conflict between a ship is boring enough as it is, but to do it three times in an eight-episode show was too much.
My other (much more minor but still enough to knock this show a half star) complaint was the final episode. It felt very jarring and different than the rest of the series, and it just was... weird. I won't say more because of spoilers, but while the Happily Ever After was nice and satisfying, I didn't enjoy the majority of the final episode.
All in all, this is one I would recommend people give a try! You don't need to watch Star in My Mind to watch it (though the many mini-scenes with Dao and Kluen might be odd if you haven't), and I think it's a sweet story worth the watch.
