A wonderful tale of two stars

This series is about these two wonderful stars who are bound by this intertwined fate and will take you through a beautiful journey. This gave me such a sweet beautiful feeling throughout my watch and the instant that flute music played, I was teleported to a different universe.

Story

- everyone must probably know its based off of a popular thai novel of the same name. Honestly this concept is very common so story wise I wondered if ill love it at first...but then again i was super excited to see something other than college stories. Nevertheless i was wrong, the story even though is so simple it just makes you get engrossed in it. Like you do not want it to end and its fine even just seeing Tian do his daily activities with the villagers or just spend some quality time with his phupha. Now what i really liked is....the romance between the characters felt so pure and true... And the transition/falling in love did not feel too sudden or unrealistic...

Direction/Production

- Honestly I love the Director. Each scene is so well shot and doesnt look cliche tbh. I seriously dint feel like iam watching a bl drama... Instead i felt like i was watching a well shot movie. Also it shows that they took a lot of effort filming this, the cuts werent too long or too short, emotions were well portrayed and the beauty of the mountain...what can I say!


Cinematography/Aesthetics

- Yes its beautiful. The village settings...the contrast difference from the city to village, the clothings, housing and those little village routes they could show was enough to make us feel as if we had gone back to the mountains with Tian.

Actors/Characters

-Next the actors, honestly I always wanted something good to land for earth ever since i first watched water boys.. i just felt he had so much potential and god i have been waiting for this series... And yes, he broke my expectations to be honest. I mean, his character is supposed to be this strict military guy(yup they had to make him a forest ranger due to certain country stuff), so its not easy just showcasing the rough and gentle side of him and those little jealous moments, anticipation, loving and caring feels.... And talking about Phupha, I did get a bit annoyed when he just batantly judged Tian but thats understandable as well, emotions are a wicked thing, sometimes you just cant think right all the time. But yes, he is difinately a husband material

Mixxxxxx he just stole my heart, how is he a new actor. Honestly i see a lot of good fortune for him, seriously i felt Tian in him. Talking about Tian, he is seriously a well written character.... A lot like the youth today, he is righteous but within his limits

Torfun/Aye- I might have a a little crush on her over here. Her character scares me though, being kind in such a cruel world is not easy but yes, having happiness in doing little things that you love is worth it. Her undying wish and love is something that i love..

Tul/White , Dr Nam/Nam- If you want to define good friendship, include these guys. Tian and Phupha must have done some good karma to get such understanding and helpful friends. Honestly loved the actors too who made them such an important part of the story..

Subordinates
Drake/Rang, Champ/Yod, Longtae/Khaotung- omg i just love these guys... Plus i love drake and seeing him so free here made me so happy. Also, they bring that comedic relief to the show which balances the entertainment.


Villagers/Kids/Family members- the villagers and kids acting actually is on point. Not too awkward or too excited. They actually feel like they are part of that place. The parents acting felt a bit off at the very beginning but they dint get much footage so its understandable. Nevertheless i loved that dinner scene with Tian and that surprised smile on their faces.

Villians- lolool they were weird ok but fit the goon bill peefectly..


Music:

umm yes i was quick to download it. Now i usually dislike when dramas play the same back music for every other show to avoid additional costs, but thats ok cant help it. Its not easy producing stuff. But gosh the ost here is mind blowing.... Its so soothing and well timed within scenes.

Cons

hmmm except for the ranger activities and some other minute stuff like everyone blaming tian for lying while everyone at phupha unit knew about torfuns death, or how tian being a heart transplant patient climbs a damn tropical mountain within just 6 months, inhales fire smoke, runs, gets beaten up, gets stressed etc...... You get my point right. But its called drama for a reason so i dont really mind seriously...its still worth the watch

Yup it will cleanse your soul, make you cry, make you feel like to live a happy life, and will give butterflies in your heart.

PS: Seriously though, dont go out alone to a mountain for counting 1000 stars. It will be super cold and not always cloud free

Hope you all like it too
