Um Conto de Mil Estrelas (2021)

Watch this one if you want to have an emotional rollercoaster. (In a good way!)

This started a little slow for me, but picked up a lot by episode 5 or so. It is beautifully acted and visually pleasing. Mixx is seriously a fantastic actor. He does such a great display of emotion in his facial expressions. I was worried that this was going to be a story about how he always fell short of Torfun, or everyone compared him to Torfun all the time, but it wasn't that. Torfun and Phupha vs Tian and Phupha were completely different relationships and I thought that was very well handled.

The last two episodes put me THROUGH IT. I sobbed so much. So maybe save those if you are not ready to be absolutely wrecked emotionally.

My only real complaint is that I was so freaking starved for physical contact by the last episode that the kiss and the last credit scene was NOT enough. Hopefully this is delivered more in Our Skyy 2.

Dari kejadian tersebut Tian menjadi sehat kembali, namun Tian bertanya-tanya dari siapa dia mendapatkan donor jantung - sampai akhirnya dia menemukan bahwa sang pendonor adalah seorang guru honor di perbatasan, sebagai rasa ingin bertanggung jawab dan ingin membalas budi Torfun ~ Tian memutuskan untuk menggantikannya sebagai guru honor diperbatasan tersebut. Tian pergi dan bertemu dengan banyak orang baru, salah satunya Phupa ... cinta sejatinya. Bagaimana kisahnya?. Film ini dikemas dengan detail yang bagus, cerita yang menarik dan unik. Scene yang ditampilkan di setiap series tidak mengandung filler menurutku semuanya berkesan, setiap episodenya juga disajikan dengan porsi yang sama, tidak terlalu cepat dan tidak terlalu lambat - tidak heran a tale of thousand star punya banyak penggemar, dari segi makna cerita ; series ini punya makna yang bagus, saya sangat merekomendasikan bL ini baik untuk bL fans veteran atau pemula. Nuansa pedesaan terasa di series ini, sehingga membuatnya tidak membosankan.

I love me some juicy character development

The average was 9.1 out of 10 stars. It was good. Was I really confused for like first 3 episodes because I am anti-reading descriptions? Yes, yes, I was really confused. I started to understand it, and then I kept getting turned on my head and getting even more confused. I am once again looking through my Instagram close friend story to see how confused I was 19 days ago when I started watching this. I kind of forgot what happened in episode one. My brain tuned it out, lol. Yeah, I can't find my reactions to episode 1, lol. I rewatch shows too much. All I remember is that I was very confused.

On June 15th, at 7:44 p.m., I got back into the show. And the reason was because I wanted to watch the goofy ass our Skyy 2 Bad Buddy x Tale of a Thousand Stars episodes. Great reason, I know. These two have some pretty good chemistry, so I will give it to them. My brain was struggling to wrap its head around what happened. Like it wasn't making any sense whatsoever. They could have done a better job explaining it because I refuse to read descriptions and just go based on random edits I saw at three in the morning on YouTube shorts.

I saw some familiar actors, so that was fun. Tian wasn't that likeable at the start. We are sort of forced to like whoever the drama starts off with. Just by default, even if we don't like their character, we are kind of forced to fall for them. And fall I did. Tian went from a careless, selfish rich kid to a selfless rich kid. He had some juicy character development. It was great, and I love when dramas build characters like that.

At first, I thought Torfun didn't actually die, and I thought she was going to come back and be like, "Omg, you can have him" and Bam happy ever after. Side note: she is dead. Dead as hell. It tells you that in the description, probably, so I am not actually spoiling anything, I guess.

Tian has heart issues, and that is his downfall. because that's what kills him. Or "kills" him. He is kind of a spoiled brat, and it's irritating. But Chief (I am going to be so deadass I don't even know his name) Phupha didn't put up with it like everyone else, and he shut that down. I mean, go off. That started off their dynamic and kind of made me fall in love with the characters. Chief Phupha had some good developments as well. He went from uptight, annoyed, and cold to uptight, less annoyed, and in love. Juicy character development

They had some really great microphones in this, and I could hear every single thing. Like everything else, it wasn't even funny. Good on them for the microphones, I guess. I wrote this in one of my episode reviews: "And last time bro drank, his heart stopped, so I would not trust him with alcohol. Bottoms up, more like bottoms down." Yeah. No tears were shed because in the parts where I should have been crying, I was half asleep and just confused.

There were a lot of cliffhangers in the episodes, and I feel bad for everyone who waited for them to come out instead of just grinding it out in one day.

Yeah, so a rich kid's car hits this teacher, and the parents cover it up because that's what rich people do. And that's about it. It was a good show and a pretty easy watch until like episodes 8, 9, and 10 lol. Otherwise, it was good. It wasn't too long or too short. It was just right, lol. Okay, I am watching Bad Buddy with Skyy, so I can watch the goofy ass cross-over episode. That's it; I would recommend this one. Okay bye!

It's very cute, one of my favorites

I've never had time to write a review about this bl, and it's very cute, very well-developed, and I think it's still the best gmm production to date, there's something special about this work, the novel is already excellent, but the adaptation has managed to be just as good, it's good when you finish watching something and start looking for more information about the characters, this connection is not just any production that manages to make with its audience, here they have succeeded, every year I end up watching this work again, because this tale will always be eternal for me

Una bella serie, non un capolavoro, con pregi rispetto ad altre, ma altrettanti limiti.

Una bella serie. Forse mi sbilancerei di più, se non l'avessi messa nella lista dei drama da guardare convinta di avere in serbo un capolavoro data la profusione di recensioni che la dipingevano come un capolavoro. Perchè se l'aspettativa è questa, il risultato non posso dire che è all'altezza.
Vediamo i punti di forza della serie: in primis, l'ambientazione e il contesto. Non ci troviamo nell'ennesimo ambito accademico, nella villa padronale della ricca famiglia di turno e neppure nei lussuosi uffici di qualche potente conglomerato. I paesaggi ci danno un assaggio di nuovo, una vera e propria boccata d'aria fresca, è proprio il caso di dirlo. Il lavoro di Phu lo rende uno dei pochi BL T-Drama con tema militare (pseudo militare, in questo caso, se vogliamo essere precisi). Anche qui, comunque, un elemento nuovo che ha il suo perchè. Altro pregio? La storia, che non si limita a una banale evoluzione del rapporto tra i due protagonisti, ma si arricchisce di molti altri elementi e dando importanza anche agli altri personaggi, Torfun per prima. E' una serie che lascia emergere il valore della delicatezza, sia come approccio a determinate scene, sia per alcune tematiche trattate.Il tutto è possibile grazie a una lavoro, dietro le scene, di grande cura e attenzione.
Purtroppo, oltre agli aspetti positivi ci sono anche dei difetti. Personalmente, al primo posto, metterei l'effetto "spoiler". Il doppio segreto - ovvero che Tian ha ricevuto il cuore di Torfun e che in qualche modo è collegato al suo incidente - ci viene spiattellato fin dal primo episodio ma, è altrettanto facile intuire che queste due informazioni altamente destabilizzanti verranno rivelate a Phu solo "più avanti". Il problema è quindi che la storia procede senza grossi drammi o grandi ostacoli da superare, ma lo spettatore sa che quelle due bombe a orologeria dovranno scoppiare, prima o poi, e questo genera - almeno per me - un meccanismo più di "attesa" del momento cruciale che rovina la curiosità del "chissà come evolverà la trama". Magari no è dato di sapere quando e in che modo, ma quale sarà la collisione esplosiva sì, e a mio avviso smorza un po' l'entusiasmo. Un altro difetta è la lenta - quasi mancata - evoluzione del personaggio di Phu, tanto impavido nelle sfide quotidiane quanto titubante e impacciato nella sfera sentimentale: così si presenta nel primo episodio e più o meno così lo rimane fin quasi alla fine. Ciò determina che anche il rapporto tra i due evolve a velocità di crociera, le scene cambiano ma i meccanismi nei quali sono inceppati sono sempre gli stessi, e sembra davvero di non fare quasi mai un passo avanti. Tutto ciò viene ulteriormente accentuato dalla sostanziale mancanza di scene romantiche tra i due: sì, i due protagonisti hanno una discreta chimica che consente loro di esprimere emozioni anche attraverso piccoli gesti e sguardi, ma dodici episodi per arrivare a un solo e unico bacio mi pare assurdo. Questi credo siano i principali difetti, le altre critiche che potrei muovere riguardano al massimo qualche incoerenza logica (dopo un trapianto di cuore, la scelta di andare a vivere nel nulla da parte di Tian davvero non sta in piedi, al di là delle motivazioni personali, così come l'aver superato definitivamente la questione Torfun non porta di conseguenza a un happy ending immediato, che viene raggiunto solo dopo aver ulteriormente tenuto i due protagonisti a distanza, non è ben chiaro il perchè). Concludo come ho iniziato, affermando cioè che è una bella serie. Merita di essere vista? Direi proprio di sì. Si rivelerà la miglior BL che abbiate mai visto? Penso proprio di no.

Otra historia de body-swap bien ejecutada

A los actores principales que trabajan en esta serie, GMM les encanta ponerlos en historias de cambio de cuerpo casi todo el tiempo lol; pero de igual manera en esta historia funciona bastante bien porque no es TÉCNICAMENTE cambio de cuerpo.
A Tale of a Thousand Stars está basada en una novela muy buena que va de un chico de ciudad y un militar, pero como la empresa se quizo cubrir porque "cómo los milicos van a ser putos", decidieron cambiarlo por un guardaparques (que de todas maneras funciona igual).
Tian es tan nene mimado que duele verlo (y un poco te dan ganas de pegarle una cachetada también), pero cuando es salvado y decide ir al pueblo con el pensamiento de retribuir aquello que piensa que no es suyo, se choca con una realidad que ni siquiera sabía que existía dado el corto rango de visión con el creció gracias a su familia. Y Phupha es la imagen de la realidad, no porque sea el estereotipo de "hombre fuerte" sino porque su forma de manejarse se enmarca en la realidad del lugar donde están, sabiendo que él no puede exponerse a peligro porque eso exponería al resto de la gente del pueblo.
La serie es linda de ver dado que trabaja cuestiones bastante interesantes como es la explotación y la falta de educación, y que hacen que se incorporen bien dentro de la historia de Tian Y Phupha, quienes lentamente se van enamorando y mientras que uno piensa que es por influencia de su corazón, él otro piensa que es por la personalidad del joven.
Los momentos de tensión son shockeantes, pero nada del otro mundo tampoco como para derramar lágrimas (al menos en mi caso), así que si lo que buscan es una serie que les haga pasar un mal y buen rato a la vez esta es, porque la verdad que es muy linda y fue capaz de traer algo nuevo a la escena BL como es una historia de amor ambientada por fuera del marco universitario (muchas gracias, ya tenemos que cortarla con eso).

War süß

Ich muss sagen es war süß aber es hat ein gewisses etwas gefehlt. Die Story war schön aufgebaut. Die Musik hat gepasst und war sehr schön zum hören. Die Schauspieler waren auch eine gute Wahl und sie haben nach meiner Meinung ihre Rolle gut gespielt. Ich würde für mich aber sagen das ein mal sehen genügt und ich sie nicht nochmal schauen würde. Sie war süß und unterhaltsam. Das Ende war auch Herz aller liebst und einfach nur süß. Die Serie kriegt von mir 8 / 10 Sterne. Sie war schön zum anschauen. Aber sie war nicht einer der besten BL Serien die ich angesehen habe

Amazing but SLOW ASF

This show is amazing, the storyline and emotions are so deep. EarthMix's acting is phenomenal, you can really see the conflicts on their faces and their chemistry is insane. Of course its GMMTV so it isn't without a few cheesy tropes like the close proximity stares etc but the drama and beautiful production makes you ignore it. At first I was a bit confused - this was my first show that involved soul swapping/reincarnation (I hadn't seen Vice Versa, Cupid's Last Wish etc yet) but this was simpler to ease me into that idea.
I cried through half of the end episodes, I felt so bad for Tian but also completely understand Phupha and the rest of the villagers having loved Torfun so much. I loved all the side characters as well that this was an easy watch, the doctor and other soldiers are so funny and a good comedic relief from the grief.
Like I said this show is so good and definitely underrated - however it is SLOW BURN. If you liked Only Friends bc they sh*gged in the first few eps this show isn't for you, they don't kiss until like the last 10 minutes or something, even my mum who had watched half of it over my shoulder was sat there going 'JUST KISS HIM ALREADY' - girl was getting impatient with Phupa.
Anyway, WATCH THIS SHOW RIGHT NOW.

Ho iniziato a vedere questa serie dopo aver visto decine di video che ne parlavano. Fin dall'inizio la storia mi ha intrigato molto, mi sono piaciuti tutti i personaggi e non mi ha mai annoiata.

Ho amato come hanno deciso di svolgere i vari passaggi della trama, i colpi di scena sono messi nei punti giusti e l'ambientazione è diversa dal solito.

La recitazione dei protagonisti è indiscutibilmente fatta molto bene, fanno percepire ogni singola emozione (amore, odio, tristezza, rabbia...). Sono riusciti a raccontare bene le difficoltà e la vita che viene vissuta in un villaggio fuori dal mondo, e la dolcezza, il senso di unità e l'amore che tutti provano in quella comunità.
I personaggi secondari sono altrettanto resi bene, sia gli abitanti del villaggio (soprattutto i bambini e il capo villaggio) che i ragazzi dell'esercito. Mi è piaciuta molto l'atmosfera di felicità quando i bambini, l'insegnante e i militari stavano insieme.

Consigliatissima.

Beautiful BL with a few issues

I binged this entire series in about 13 hours and it was well worth it. I really enjoyed the story, I liked all the characters (which doesn't happen often for me) and I liked the intrigue.

Was it super innovative? Not really, the plot was pretty easy to see through but it was well executed and I was holding my breath the entire time, waiting for the other show to drop. And when it did, it was truly heartbreaking.

Now, what I do want to mention however is a few things I found very tiring. The pacing is SLOW. SLOW SLOW SLOW. I enjoyed it in the love story because it had me screaming "JUST KISS" at the screen multiple times (during the airport scene, I was both crying and laughing because lol the parents) but the overall story dragged a lot. Which is strange given that the show had only ten episodes.
