Você é o Meu Céu (2022)

Really good, deep series with meaning, showed Torn in wrong light

Okay, so I don't really write reviews but I think this one needs it. First of all I enjoyed this series very much, it's very high quality and is overall beautiful. The side stories were fine, not as interesting to me, but it's okay since it kept the feeling of tension what's going to happen in the main plot, so I'm not going to talk about them much.

What suprised me was that they actually took care of the problem, that Torn was terribly mistreated. Well, maybe it didn't end in the way it should but I think the right way would make people hate Torn and be really mad that they didn't end up together. But I'm suprised they didn't just ignore the fact that Torn always made what others wanted him to do. We see it since the begining, where Fah actually FORGOT about his best friend just because he wasn't his partner anymore. There were many moments like that and Torn was never mad (most like for 5 minutes), he was calm, supporting, Meanwhile Fah didn't really see his mistakes, kind of anegoist.

So when the moment came, where Torn finally decided to do what he wanted I was so happy for him! Fah was just a toxic. I'm not suprised that Torn was so angry... MAN I would be angry already since the begining, because Fah was just so horrible. AND everyone was treating him like he was in his wrongs. DUDE, this series made him look like he was doing something bad when in reality he made a smart decision. I'm kinda angry about how they didn't explain to others why actally Torn had many reasons to hate them and just made Torn apologize (even tho no one ever apologized to him lol and he was the one that needed it the most). They kept silent about the case (I mean Torn didn't say anything about it), that Torn was mistreated ny Fah, but it's something we can read from his actions and see for ourselfs. It wasn't really something said out loud. I think it added some fine self reflection to the series.

I think they kinda made Torn the villain at the end and didn't point it out that he was just too good for Fah AND WASN'T WRONG FOR GETTING MAD LIKE CRAZY. But I know that if it wasn't done Torn's anger would never end and the show would just end with not really a perfect ending, that everyone always want. So I understand. We see that coach Tuan wasn't really that bad of a person either. I mean, he had his controversial ways, but he helped Torn get better. I suppose if Torn said to Fah all the things he did to him, Fah would't understand and it would broke their relationship. Since Torn loved Fah very deeply he never said anything and I must say it almost made me cry.

In conclusion, this series made me feel A LOT. And I'm not mad about it. It's great because of it's depth and quiet problems we face that destroy us inside slowly. Some people are mad about the time-skip but I think it was needed. Torn needed it to finally stand up for himself.

Shortly about the side stories. I liked that Vee was RESONABLE person and didn't give in to his desires. Respect, man.
The story about Aii and Saen was just boring. I mean it was sweet but kinda shallow? It definitely lacked something... well I didn't mind it since I was too emotional about the main plot.

I recommend this series, however for emotional people it will be hard experience (like for me) but its definitely worth it.

¡Al fin un respiro de oxígeno!

Después de casi 6 meses de dejar de ver BLs debido a la monotonía de las mismas historias estudiantiles una y otra vez, y de hasta los mismo actores interpretando los mismo personajes, le di una oportunidad de nuevo y me he quedado muy satisfecho.

Esta sería me llegó como un gran respiro de oxígeno para volver a enrolarme en el BL de nuevo. Una historia muy bien contada, con muy buenas actuaciones y muy buenas escenas.

Una excelente serie que te permite salir de la monotonía a la que nos tienen acostumbrados. Cada una de las 3 historias fueron muy bien contadas considerando el tiempo de tan solo 12 capitulos.

En conclusión un muy excelente serie y la mejor en lo que va del 2022.

I enjoyed this more than I thought

Not Much into Sport Dramas but I quite enjoyed this one. For the most part it was an easy and peaceful watch. I loved all of the characters and the couples. It definitely surprised me, the first episode doesn't emphasize what this show is about. At first it seems like a regular sports/college drama but it's so much more than that. The characters get good development and so do the couples, the friendships are one of YMS stronger points and I like how they handled Thor's coming out. Though, I feel like Vee and Dome's storyline was left open ended but understandable with the subject matter their story faced. I'm satisfied with the conclusion of the other two couples esp Saen and Ae since they were my favorites from the beginning.
All in all I give this series an 8.0. I say give this series a chance because it's so much more than what it seems.

Not perfect but still great

I recently watched this series for the second time and wanted to write a review, since I didn't write one before.
This series is very good, but it also focuses on more than just romantic relationships: it's mostly about following your dreams and finding a balance between your dreams and the other things and people in your life, about finding happiness in unexpected places, and about finding in yourself a light even when all hope is lost.
The story is about three different couples of sports science students, the main one being the best written in my opinion.

Thorn and Fah make a cute couple and I really liked their story. Their background as childhood friends was explored well and their relationship includes both their romantic feelings for each other and their love for basketball. I really liked the fact that basketball here is not just an aesthetic for their setting, but it's not a minor detail of their characters either: it's present throughout the entire series and a very important part of their dreams and ambitions, often functioning as a way to portray their emotional state at best. It's something I rarely see in series set in university and I really enjoyed it.
I also really liked the idea of them growing closer as they decide to be there for each other and support each other. Their balance is not always good, Thorn is often times the one left with the shorter end of the stick, but this aspect is shown very well in the series. There is quite a bit of angst for them, especially during the last few episodes, but despite it being painful it was a pretty good journey. Tae and Suar don't have groundbreaking chemistry with each other, but it worked for me.

Aii and Saen are a very cute couple together, and also the one that brings less heartache and less angst to the series. Saen's passionate and sincere courting towards Aii was just adorable, and it was also very satisfying to see Aii slowly but steadily warming up to him. I was afraid that Aii would either fall too fast or end up as one of those partners who stay grumpy and reluctand to the end of the series, but that was not the case at all. This couple also faces the long-distance relationship theme, which was handled very well in my opinion. Something I didnt' like was the fact that, while Aii's passions and dreams were thoroughly talked about, Saen was not explored as much.

Finally, Vee and Dome were the recipe-for-disaster couple. On one hand, they were kind of a let-down, because their scenes were focused almost exclusively on the growing feelings for each other and barely anything else. They are also the only couple that strays from the dreams/ambitions/love balancing struggle of the other two couples, so they felt out of place to me. What compensates all of this is their chemistry, which was undoubtedly amazing: their gazes alone said all they needed to say and it was enough to make them very interesting to watch.

The production was pretty good as well, with a good use of camera angles and interesting shots - I wasn't a huge fan of the persistent yellow tone over the entire series, but I got used to it after a couple episodes. I read that other viewers had trouble keeping up with the story because of the flashbacks and time skips, but I personally didn't have trouble understanding what was going on.
The music was, for me, the worst part. It was decent most of the time, but I really didn't like the songs and felt like they runied the moment more often than not.

I recommend watching this at least once!

A lot better than I expected

I had not heard about this drama at all, so I was extremely surprised starting the first episode when I saw the lighting and camerawork. The ambiance is captured beautifully, and the school seems fun and eventful. We are introduced to three couples. They are all interesting, and all have a phase where they get to know each other, a phase where they start to love, then have rough times, and ultimately make up. The series showcases a variety of themes such as chasing your dreams, being adamant about what you love, and not losing your values over success. The main couple has time skips which make them especially interesting. They were childhood friends who met each other by chance, they followed each other everywhere. Some have a problem with this time skip element, but I felt it was done well. In the present it does get a little confusing, with skips of a couple months happening, but it is not too difficult to follow.

The two side couples are also intruiging. One of them is about an adamant lover who will not surrender until he wins his man over. The other is a sticky situation, a senior and a junior are in the same club and theyre getting flirty and closer to each other, but the senior is dating the junior's sister. I love the way the relationships are handled, no one is dramatic or mad for the sake of being mad. Everyone is thinking of each other and it is all very sweet.

The central theme of basketball is very interesting for a BL. Because of the plot, it is almost like a basketball themed series that happens to have gay characters in it; it is not just a general theme with no depth. The main couple is passionate about basketball, and while the other couples have little to do with this sport, theyre still school related and the whole series is very cohesive.

I highly enjoyed this series. It is comfortable, soft, passionate, and has handsome boys dating each other. I do not regret watching this at all. Watching this was not a slog, I hope you enjoy it too.

Je recommande

J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé la série. Realisation differente que ce que nous sommes habitués pour un bl thailandais se déroulant dans un contexte scolaire. Très bon casting et direction photo " lèché" . On s'attache aux 3 couples et s'est profond sans être mélodramatique. Je recommande même pour ceux qui ne sont pas familiers au genre. Les comédiens sont vraiment charmants et talentueux et j'ai aimé l'ambiance " collégiale ". Je ne sais pas si s'est réaliste par contre mais on souhaite que se soit aussi " normal" d'être en relation avec une personne du même sexe comme cela semble être le cas dans la faculté.

This is one of the best sweet romance Thai BL recently. Lately, this kind of BL series is getting boring because the lack of originality. However this series is different. The concept might not be new, we've seen sport college themed BL quite a few in the past, but You're My Sky giving different way to approach this concept. It's not just about two athletes suddenly falling in love and being lovey dovey. The words coming from the character and the passion they show makes me cry a few times. But, I laughed and smiled way more time!!

Concept/Plot :
The plot is somehow interesting. Usually college themed BL will focus more on the romance side. However, You're My Sky gave both romance and the sport life fair portion in the plot. I like how it doesn't always go with the mainstream where every problem can be solved easily because of love. The couples giving different perspective of how someone approaching the problem solving. It takes time, effort, and sacrifice, which shown in different couples. We also can see how various someone's take on sport, sportivity, and hardwork. The only minus point are that the story sometimes the scene jumping back and forth not in the right timing and the problem solving in the sport side isn't clear enough to me.

Cast :
The main cast and support couples did really well. If I have to choose the best one, I have to say Porsche (played as Vee) did the best despite the screentime isn't that much. The emotion he shown can reach me through the screen. I have to give respect to the supporting roles and cameos too. The characters difference between two coaches can be clearly seen. The teammates and all the hyping crowd also did pretty well.

Cinematography, Music, and Set :
The cinematography is okay, not bad at all, but some scene could've be improved in terms of camera angle and lighting. Most of them are fine tho. Especially, the basketball scene didn't come off too cutty (?) in most of the scene.
The music is also okay. I'm not paying attention too much but everytime I hear the music most of the time I was not distracted. They also know when we don't need a backsound.
I really like the indoor set. It's giving the right vibes wether it's in college, court, or home.

Overall :
GIVE IT A TRY! The couples are cute and the story line isn't boring. I like this more than some of higher rated BL tbh. I kinda want Tupbob and Chain to have each BL plot too lol. or maybe they can be the plot.... O.O
My favorite scenes are the warmup and graduation ceremony part, the vibes was living!! I also like the couple scene after Thorn being an asshole lol. And off course, I like the way Vee looks into Dome. I feel like he's trying to flirt with me kkk.

Loved it!

Honestly, the first episode was a bit dull. The whole sports theme we've seen so many times before, as with Water Boyy, but the three main stories are interesting enough to overcome the familiar miniseries wrapper. Thailand continues to set the gold standard for boy love dramas with gorgeous photography, first rate acting and realistic storylines. The main story concerns two childhood friends who grow up to play basketball together at university. This plot line gets the most screen time but it the least interesting of the three stories; nevertheless the leads are appealing and there's an interesting revelation about how long the Torn character has been in love with Fah. The love triangle with the two male characters, Dome and Vee that involves Vee's sister (and Dome's girlfriend) is the next most interesting, but this romance doesn't get very far by the end of the series. Too bad because the two actors were quite good. The most interesting plot concerns the characters Sean, a track athlete, and Aii, who serves as a staffer for the track team. These guys have by far the best romance scene in Episode 6. Jump's shy Aii is a perfect paring with Boom's sexy Saen. "You're My Sky" doesn't rise to the steamy sexiness of other Thai BL dramas like "WhyRU?' but at least these (most likely) straight male actors can pull off intimate guy-guy scenes without making them cringeworthy. I'd love to see Jump and Boom paired again in another drama.

WHERE’S THE EXCITEMENT FOR THE GAMES? WHERE’S THE AUDIENCE??

If you’ve watched PING PONG (starring Timmy Xu of ADDICTED fame), this one will definitely suffer in comparison. PING PONG generated such an interest for the game – in epic proportions! You follow the progression of the main characters and you develop a love for the sport. Partly to blame here is the editing. But of course, the director calls the shots, so he’s one responsible for putting everything together. Two sports are featured here: basketball and track & field. Neither were given proper spotlight.

Also here, MAJOR games have no audience at all? Only a handful? Two school are competing. Shouldn’t the bleachers be full of students? Also, the host school had no audience at all? All those handful cheerers are from the visiting team! Doesn’t help in making the series believable at all!

PING PONG’s actors obviously invested time and effort in perfecting their games. You see and feel they really ARE masters of their game! Here, you don’t feel that. You feel they’re all amateurs up the very last episode. Also amateurs in the acting department. Only Saen (actor: Boom) is a natural, but even he has awkward moments.

Also, the timeline is quite confusing. Transition from present to past to present sometimes makes you wonder if what you’re watching is present or months ago. Example: During the final game, Thorn was a prick which everybody hated, including his teammates. Then we get to see flashbacks from months ago. Then, even before the game ended, we see Thorn crying and Fah comforting him. Is this past or present? Confusing because they didn’t even show the results of that game!! Which team won?? Like so many things in the series, that one was left unanswered.

Time jumps between episodes are quite confusing, too! So you don’t feel a smooth flow of events.

Nagging question: Did Dome say (they he and Wee were assisting a drunken Pete) that he just used Pan to get close to Wee? Did he address that issue after that scene? Did he say sorry to Pan for that?

PLUS POINT: Cinematography, whether is daylight or sunset or nighttime, the lighting is almost always perfect.

Vee and Dome (love is in the air)

I usually write reviews for shows that blow me away or for shows that deeply disappoint me. This time I'm writing for Vee and Dome. What a cute couple!! They said more with their eyes than any couple that had a lot of minutes and intimate scenes. Their scenes (there could have been many more) were full of emotions. Either I had a big smile on my face and I was melting or I was holding my breath and hoping that the sun would warm them too. I think this is a couple that deserves a continuation of the story and a series only for them (the others may have some guest roles). As for the plot of the series itself, it may not be a masterpiece, there may be some omissions and messing with the timeline, but this is a series that does not leave a bitter taste in the mouth. On the contrary. We all have dreams, plans, hopes, fears. Someone's life will be the way he planned it, while someone else has to work hard and travel a thorny path to the goal. No one can say exactly how they would behave in certain situations. We are simply only humane, full of flaws and shortcomings. But, when we face our fears and insecurities, when we find inner strength and the right path, when we love ourselves with all the flaws and virtues, then we can do anything. I think that is the main backbone of this story.
