Great show
I absolutely LOVED watching this! I finished it in three days. If I didn't have school, I would probably have finished it faster. I can't wait for season 2!Here are a few things I liked and disliked (in no particular order):
1 THE ACTING
LIKE: I really like the way Bai Zhu plays his character(A Zhai). His facial expressions and the way he brings his lines are adorable and unique. Some people seem to dislike A Zhai, which I kind of get when looking at certain scenes. Particularly the ones where he mistreats Adam or doesn't listen to his advice, which then results in problems that could've been avoided if he did listen. That aside I think he is a really fun character that brings life to the show.
DISLIKE: A ZHAI IS SUCH. AN. IDIOT! Seriously, I love him, but he is so stubborn, self-centered and in some moments pretty mean. Adam really didn't deserve the way A Zhai treated him in some episodes. Especially since Adam is the one who keeps saving and protecting A Zhai when things turn sour. Which is A LOT of times.
2 FRIENDSHIP
A Zhai and his best friend cracked me up everytime they were together. I loved it when they were scheming and going on missions together. You would think that two heads/two brains would be able to think of at least a simple, good working plan, but I guess that's not the case with A Zhai and Wang Fu Gui. They are also really bad at lying. It's funny to watch. Their friendship is really cute.
3 THE CINEMATOGRAPHY
The camera work is done very well. The set also looks great! The whole show gives you a comic kinda feel with all the sound/visual effects they've put in it. All this put together makes the show aesthetically pleasing.
4 STORYLINE
LIKE: The story is surprising and unique. There are a lot of turns and twists that make you want to see the next episode as fast as possible. The pace of the storyline is just right. Not too slow, not too fast. I also like how they sometimes break the 4th wall by talking to us (the audience) directly.
DISLIKE: One aspect of the storyline that gets dragged out too much is A Zhai's obsession with Eve. FOR REAL, MAN It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on. I rolled with my eyes a lot.
5 A ZHAI AND ADAM
I can conclude from the comments of some other people that they mainly started to watch the show because of these two. I wouldn't recommend watching it just for them. Except for a few cute scenes, there isn't much action. I can't even say ''just watch it for their friendship' because as I said earlier: A Zhai is pretty mean to Adam. Unless there are more scenes coming in season 2 that will build on their relationship. 80% of this show is A Zhai chasing after Eve.
CONCLUSION:
It's a really cute show and you should definitely watch it for the cool actors, the humor and fun scenes.

The Sun from Another Star Special Episode

A satisfying goodbye to Arthit and Daotok
Waiting for this special episode was like torture. So glad we got one after all! <3I kind of miss Dao’s blue hair. It made him stand out, and it looked amazing on Oat. That said, I’ve seen Oat starting to rock more of a mullet-ish look lately, and it looks so cute on him, haha.
That aside, Ngern is such a good actor. His performance stood out to me in this special episode. Arthit genuinely looks so in love. Whenever Dao’s safety is at stake, you can feel the desperation, panic, and fear in his voice, but you can also see it in his eyes and facial expressions. He conveys those emotions incredibly well, for example during the scene on the couch when he’s holding the bracelet and when Dao is patching him up. There’s so much emotion in those moments without him having to overdo it. I hope his next role will be something darker and more challenging, because I genuinely think he would do so well in that kind of role.
Of course, chemistry has to come from both sides, and Oat did really well too. There was only one moment where he made an expression that I wasn’t completely sure conveyed the right emotion, but that was really the only time I noticed something like that. I didn’t notice anything like that while watching Fourever You / Sun from Another Star, either. Overall, I think Oat is a great actor and captivating to watch. Dao clearly feels a lot, but he isn't naturally someone who verbalizes everything, so Oat's performance often works through his eyes and little facial changes rather than big emotional reactions, which I think he does really well. Oat's real-life personality being so bubbly makes his performance as Dao more impressive.
As for the special episode itself....hmmm, I thought it was fine. It wasn’t anything particularly amazing, but it did what it needed to do: give us some closure for these characters and show us what their life looks like now. There were some funny moments, some sweet ones and some emotional ones. Overall, it was a nice way to wrap things up.
I thought I wouldn’t be ready to say goodbye to Arthit and Daotok, but honestly, I feel pretty satisfied. I’m sad to see them go, but at the same time, I’m really excited to see what Ngern and Oat will do next. They really are a great match, both on and off screen.

It's pretty bad :')
The actors are cute, but the acting itself just isn't that great. Neither is the storyline. Some parts are pretty confusing.
I feel awful for my negative review because I love Yao Wang (Lucas) and Yang Yeming (Leo) and I suggest you to watch their tidbits and behind the scenes instead, because those two are amazing, but as for the show... I wouldn't even bother.
