Star and Sky: Star in My Mind (2022)

SPARKLING CHEMISTRY OF MAIN LEADS (w/ a speck of undetailed spoiler)

I was driving along with the straight storyline and doing alright under the clear night sky full of stars, but not until I was about to reach the climax. I was staring to these two twinkling stars. I didn't expect the road to take a left turn and I fall off the cliff. I managed to survive in the end though.

These two stars named Dunk (as Nuea) and Joong (as Kluen) shined so brightly. They are one of the main leads of a BL series that has great chemistry. Dunk, who looks like your average-looking actor, caught me off-guard with his charming smiles. And together with Joong, who speaks to me with his glittery eyes, made me finish the episodes 7 and 8.

What I find messy in this entire series is the misplacement of all Kluen's flashback (except the sunflower pot). They could have done the same thing to Kluen's flashback as what they did to Nuea's flashback. I lost interest in his past while he's telling Nuea about it. Also to mention Gia's BF problem and Nuea-Typhoon's relationship, who in their right mind would choose those in the climax? I mean those topics are great but they unwisely picked the worst scenarios and scripts ever. Nonetheless, the early and mid-episodes are above decent for sure with little and ignorable issues.

It could've been a must-watched series. (sigh) Never mind, I still enjoy this series. I like Dunk-Joong as main leads.

A Story That is Better Than Most

This is the kind of BL series I want.
No toxicity, no 3rd party, no fake friends, no complicated story line, just pure love with each character., and the conflict between them. To me, the whole story revolves around one simple line - "Have A Safe Flight." Misunderstandings and two persons, one who lacks trust and one who cannot express his feelings.

The cast is excellent, the two main characters both very good looking, have the ability to convey their feelings through their expressions. I binge watched and was never bored, never felt the need to fast forward through any scenes.

If I have any complaints; lack of realistic kiss scenes. Honestly, when I watch a bl series fake kisses are a bit of a turn-off. My rating would have been a 10 if the kiss scenes were more realistic. Still, the series is one I will watch again someday.

I really like this series, the story is light, reminiscent of the love story of young people when they were still in school, full of love flowers, not far from the reality of life. Watching the BL series doesn't always have to have as many conflicts as other series. This series is also played by actors with good acting. especially dunk as the main character acted well even though this is the first series for Dunk. Joong and Dunk's chemistry is also very good, they match each other well. this series is good because it is supported by a good song ost and of course i am addicted to hearing the ost. watching every episode makes my heart full of love. wish it had a special episode or made a movie

I thought it'll be better but it's still good :>

As the heaadline says. I thought it'll be better based on the high ranking it had at the beggining. To be honest it's like almost every other thai BL. There's this story about a boy who fell in love but then for whatever reason had to leave and "forget" but then he met the guy who he was in love with again and the guy fell in love too. I think I've already seen that somewhere lol
But it was actually not so bad and my ranking is pretty high.
The acting was really good! All the actors did great job. I don't pay much attention to music in BLs but it wasn't bothering so I guess it's good. I'd rewatch it if I was bored but it definitelly wouldn't be my first or second choice.
Overall the series is pretty cute and good to watch because it wasn't toxic or whatever. No one annoying or something like that. Tbh I don't really like these cute BLs and I am always cringing way to much and it wasn't much different with this series but that's simply my problem and not the series' so yeah...and i wasn't cringing all the time, just at the end with all the moments, you know what I am talking about it if u already watched it lmao
Also I am really excited to get to know Fah more and to see his story :)))
Definitelly watch this BL, in my opinion it is worth it even though i expected a little bit more. Enjoy and have a good day <3

for the storyline of this drama is easy to follow, the story is simple and fun to watch. tells the story of a young boy's love in his school days. not much conflict and pure love of young people. I like the work of this drama director, all of his drama works are good and hits. for the main character to have strong chemistry, they match each other, also supported by supporting actors who have pretty good acting. I've rewatched this drama several times because Kluendao's relationship is very cute, especially in episodes 7 & 8 when they started dating. I highly recommend this drama if you want to see a BL series with a light story and full of love and cuteness.

Cute & Sweet

This drama was really sweet and to the point...

it’s the same old story - two cute guys pinning for each other because they suck at communicating their feelings. It should be all cute fluff, pure entertainment, feel-good watch. The story of Kluen and Daonuea is a classic tale of meeting your high school crush after entering college and falling in love .

There were some really bad points to this drama, especially when dao acted a little immature over the situation with Kluen and Gia, and understanding the franticness in Kluen voice, also the whole idea of lets do one date, when you knew full well that you were not interested, and stringing them along instead of just setting the record state from the start.

Kluen was cute to watch after 2moons2, so that was pleasant enough and possibly the only reason why I carried on watching it.

Overall: It was kind of sweet and cute, and looking forward to Fah story, hopefully this one will a little better and more mature.

BRO. Ok. The amount of emotions Ive gone through in these SIX episodes! Ive gone from screaming into my pillow, choking my pillow out, and almost crying. I SWEAR I CANT ITS TOO MUCH GIVE ME FLUFF. Anyways, though the main character, Daos acting isnt the best, I can sit with it and it doesnt make me uncomfortable. Ive seen sosososo many negative comments in the comment section, but let me just say that I havent felt anything negative towards this show while watching (except towards the main characters, of course) THE AMOUT OF STRESS I WENT THROUGH IN EPISODE 5, I WAS CHOKING OUT MY BLANKET WITH THE AMOUT OF FEELINGS. What I dont like is the "does he like me? I like him" WHEN HE'S SAID HE'S LIKED YOU SO MANY TIMES ALREADY. Otherwise, this show has been one of the best Ive watched in 2022, and I wasnt really expecting much from it. Its a standard thai bl drama, and its just a great watch. If you havent watched it, do it! No, its not the best, but its great to add to the watch list. ALSO JOONG, (actor who plays khun) IS SOSOSOSOOSOSOOO FINEEEEE like the most handsome actor ive seen.

I FELL IN LOVE

I absolutely love this show. From the very beginning I fell in love with the story, the leads, the chemistry that they share. OMG it makes my heart flutters with every single episode. The comedy of this show is so cute. I love it so much and rooting for Kluen & Dao. I have never re watched a episodes so fresh out as I have with this one. GMMTV you are doing a great job with this one. I can't wait for next week episode. Until then I will be re-watching the episodes until the next one is out. I will come back to update my final review of this show once it has reached it's completion.

A lighthearted watch

I loved this <3 It's not in a Bad Buddy or Not Me level (not even close) but I still loved it. Like it's sweet and got me giggling and all. And I honestly loved to see Joong in a main role (I don't know if it's just me but his eyes give me all the feelings that his character was feeling). What I liked the most was the cast and the calm and non-toxic storyline. This series is something to watch when you wanna have a lighthearted and warm ride. And the friends, mwuah <33

Cast/acting: Cast was amazing, acting ok
Music: It was good, but didn't really catch my attention
Rewatch value: I don't rewatch series (excpet for UWMA, DSN and WBL)

Overall it was a nice, lovely watch. Nothing special but a good way to spend your time if you don't have anything else to do. I really liked it and can't wait to see the next season <3

A simple story but executed so badly

This gotta be the most basic ass series I have watched in a long time. So the story is a story old as time. Boy likes boy, boy tired of chasing boy, boy tries to get over the other boy but the now the other boy wants him and tries to get him back. So how did they ruin such a basic ass plot? There is one thing that I hate in this series. Its the lack of consent. Its 2022 and people still try pass kissing without consent romantic or acceptable in a series. NO, its not cute and it would never would be. Another thing that I hate is the dragging. It drags the story much with the misunderstandings. Like if the Kluen actually spoke and use his words even once it would have ended so many episodes ago. Now the acting.... to be honest, I like Dunk but boi his acting was kinda bad..The parts where he had to get emotional like being angry and crying were especially weird. I would laugh since I couldn't tell if he was about to sneeze or cry lol. GMMTV need to stop hiring actors for lead role if they cannot act, just because they are attractive doesn't cut it. I do hope he get better tho, cause I like Dunk and Joong's chemistry. The music is nice have no complains whats over. Joong has a nice voice. Now the rewatch value is high cause there are alot of cute moments. Overall, it was not bad not good but just ok. It started out nice but felt flat in the middle. So if want to watch this series just watch it but do not expect anything.

Not Everyone's Favorite Star (but I loved it, so~)

Story: 8.5/10
This is another "I liked him first, but he fell harder and just happens to be dumber" situation, which can make it seem a bit predictable, but I think it's still cute~ The first few episodes start out SO STRONG. I loved the way Daonuea and his friends interacted, and the way his sibling relationship was shown; it was so heartwarming and wholesome and just overall accurate. The way they support Dao while also knowing he was full of shit when he said he was over his crush was best-friend-level-tier, you know? The conflict was a bit... much. This story, like many of BLs, suffers from a lack of communication. Well, I should say PROPER communication, as Kluen is more of a doer than a sayer, which pretty much sums up all of their problems. His actions speak louder and way better than his words, but that's not always enough, especially when the other party was explicit and you kinda-not-really-but-technically-did turn them down. If that sounded confusing to you, then that's because it really is a bit confusing. One of the side characters says that Kluen is "book smart but a dumbass," and she's right. These characters are a bit too complex to try to fit into 8 episodes, but I think Dunk (Daonuea) and Joong (Kluen) did great with what they had, which is why I, despite hating the miscommunication, still enjoyed the show~

Acting/Casting: 10/10
We got all of my new favorite actors, even the side characters are some of my favs, so I'm a bit biased here, but I think they did great with what they had. Everyone felt so necessary, even Noel, whom I thought was just an extra to show that Kluen had a friend aside from Gia, ended up being an important player in an interesting way~

Music: 9/10
The OST is good, and there's nothing wrong with the background music or anything; I generally just tend to rate music based on how many songs I absolutely NEED to get on my playlist, and, with all of these great shows coming out with their soundtracks being ON-POINT, I'm spoiled. I felt generous since everyone keeps talking shit on this show, though, so I gave it a higher rating than I probably would have.

Rewatch Value: 10/10
Despite it's flaws and the annoying miscommunication, I still really enjoyed this show. Like I said, the first few episodes were so good and sweet that I had to go to the dentist and get some teeth pulled from the cavities lmao KluenNuea's moments were fluffy and hit just the right spot that I just.. Ugh. So good. I'm actually writing this review after watching 5 times to help boost the rating since DramaList tends to be super harsh on shows for some reason~ (Everyone wishes they were a Critic Writer, I suppose 🤷‍♀️)

Overall: 9.5/10
People on DramaList really do think they're connoisseurs with shows sometimes, especially when others really like specific actors. I'm not entirely sure why, but if the rating of the show is the only thing making you hesitate to watch this, then I recommend going for it anyway. It's not everyone's cup of tea, of course, but it's also only 8 episodes, so it's a short, cute watch when you need some BL or JoongDunk in your life -- it doesn't have to be serious or something you binge, though I absolutely did binge it several times with no shame~ The production was great, the OST was good, the acting was on-point, and I just love how everyone interacts with each other in this drama, from the romance to the friendships; it's all so fluffy and sweet~
