Phupha develops feelings for Tian over time during A Tale of Thousand Stars.
To cut to the chase, A Tale of Thousand Stars is a phenomenal BL drama and it’s up there with one of the best series in this genre. Each episode delivers heartfelt emotions, introspective character development, and a delightful romance that will have you smiling from ear to ear.
The characters feel authentic, and they are not solely defined by their relationship drama. Both Tian and Phupha have fully fleshed out characterization, and the romance is just one part of their well-rounded lives. They have hopes, fears, aspirations, and backstories, all of which are explored in depth.
A Tale of Thousand Stars makes a memorable first impression with an action-packed opening episode, filled with high emotions and high adrenaline. The next few episodes are equally strong, featuring some powerful moments of character development and self-introspection. All the stories felt intimate, inspirational, and intricately crafted.
After an engrossing start, A Tale of Thousand Stars suffers from a few missteps in its second half. One of the prominent storylines isn’t mapped out well, and the progress of the romance starts to drag near the end. Nonetheless, this drama earned so much goodwill with the first few episodes that any shortcomings can be easily overlooked.
A Tale of Thousand Stars exceeds all my expectations and sets a new standard of excellence in BL dramas. From the rich storytelling to the authentic acting, A Tale of Thousand Stars is a masterclass in every aspect of its production. The quality is so incredible that I’m almost left in a state of disbelief, like I can’t believe a BL drama is actually capable of being this good.
