One man discovering that his biggest competition was actually himself.
How do you review Fish Upon the Sky when your main memories are awkward makeovers, relentless teasing, and Pi looking like stress had personally selected him as its brand ambassador?
This series really looked at the university romance genre and said, "What if we added insecurity, comedy, sibling interference, and enough secondhand embarrassment to physically leave your body?"
Pi had a crush.
A very serious crush.
The kind of crush that convinces you a complete personality overhaul is a reasonable life decision.
Unfortunately for him, Mork existed.
Confident.
Charming.
Annoyingly attractive.
And apparently operating on a full-time schedule of making Pi's life significantly more complicated.
Naturally, chaos followed.
Phuwin brought so much vulnerability, awkwardness, and relatable insecurity to Pi that it was impossible not to root for him.
Because beneath all the panic and overthinking was someone simply trying to believe that he was enough.
And honestly?
Haven't we all been there?
And Pond as Mork?
The king of teasing.
The emperor of patience.
The CEO of looking at someone like they've already won a competition they didn't even know they were in.
Watching Mork slowly prove to Pi that he was never interested in the version of Pi trying to impress the world and had always liked the version hiding underneath it all gave us one of the sweetest messages in Thai BL.
Then there was Duean.
The human embodiment of chaos.
The younger brother who somehow managed to create problems and solve them at the exact same time.
His relationship with Meen delivered some of the funniest moments in the entire series and honestly deserved its own support group.
The friend groups, the university setting, and the endless misunderstandings gave the series an energy that felt lively, messy, and incredibly fun.
And can we talk about the people behind the camera?
Director New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul understood exactly what this story needed: fun.
The series never took itself too seriously.
The comedy landed, the emotional moments hit when they needed to, and the story never forgot that sometimes romance is supposed to make you laugh as much as it makes you cry.
The production team embraced bright colors, energetic pacing, and exaggerated comedy while still allowing the characters space to grow.
The cinematography reflected the youthful, chaotic energy of university life perfectly.
And the soundtrack?
Pure serotonin.
Every song somehow made an already ridiculous situation feel even more adorable.
Fish Upon the Sky wasn't trying to reinvent the genre.
It wasn't trying to emotionally devastate you.
It wasn't trying to overthrow governments or run mafia empires.
This was chaos.
Premium-grade chaos.
This was insecure dental student × man who apparently decided flirting should qualify as an Olympic event.
10/10.
Would absolutely survive dental school, become emotionally attached to the friend group, and watch Mork flirt aggressively while Pi malfunctioned all over again.
