Not THAT bad
It was a nice, easy watch.I don't think the acting was as bad as people are saying, maybe bad direction etc. I feel like the actors were done dirty in some aspects, for example really bad makeup (some actors had visibly dry lips with makeup crusted on them). I really liked Tod, he seems so sweet and his acting was pretty decent.
If you want an easy watch and nothing too serious, you will probably enjoy it.

Believable plot mostly!
I've been watching BL from quite some time, and most of them follow a pattern or try too hard to be trending topic that goes overboard and ended up being messy or unbelievable. I didn't have this problem with "Venus in the Sky". Right from the very beginning you kinda know what you'll get.Some people criticizes the pace. I think it's on point. If you have been rejected by your friend/crush, you won't recover that fast. There's always a grudge, a feeling of distrust ... and petyness. That's why I understood Venus.
On the other hand, we have Sky, the clearly MVP of this series for me. It's the first time I've seen Tod Panapong Khaisang, so I was pleasantly surprise by his acting. Sky is the ultimate go-getter. He recognized his mistake (I can't blame the guy for not knowing his own feeling at a young age, but still), and as soon as he saw an opportunity he went above and beyond.
Honestly, Sky was perfect in my eyes. He made me laugh most of the time with his audacity. His reactions were always so extra, and if the guy has to sulk, oh, he sulks alright! Also, the guy was as clingy as baby!
Janus/Bom was a nice support couple. Both were involved in the main plot, and the one of their own was nice.
The third couple (Tonkla/Tong) it wasn't that good, in general. I didn't connected with them, to be honest.
About the "sex scenes", which by the way aren't that many and also far from shocking (some prude person was classifying the show as "softcore", lol). I don't have much to say. I am a grown man, I don't mind watching guys showing some skin and having sex. In fact, I've always hated shows in which the couples are too shy to even kiss INDOORS. Like what!? I get the whole not-PDA trend, but in your private space, at your home, and specially when you are starting a grown-up relationship, you really wanna have as much physical contact as you can. So, I'm really glad I could see some realistic and sloppy kisses, and more.
So, in general:
A) The plot was very simple and portrayed in a realistic way. Don't expect crazy twists.
B) The main couple had great chemistry (in banter, cutenes and sexyness). I liked their storyline. Both actor did a good job. If anything, I think Tod's was better in his interactions with the whole cast, while Cheque felt comfortable only in his dialogs with Tod and Tontae).
C) If you want things to move quickly, this show ins not for you. Just remember, slow and fun can be better than quick and messy.
D) The budget for this series was clearly a moderated one, and you can see that right from the start. Maybe that's one of the reasons I wasn't too hard too judge.
E) When it comes to "rewatch value", I wouldn't underestimate this show. By the time I'm writing this review, I'm on my third re-watch, and I actually had much fun than the first time (because I know I can skip most of the Tonkla/Tong story arc.)

Cringingly funny
I started watching because the algorithm brought it up and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not going to lie....I spent a lot of time wondering why I was watching it. It was slow and a bit lame.Let's be real here - Sky is a stalker. I've said it! Sitting outside someone's house every day isn't normal, especially when your crush clearly has no interest in you....but this is the BL world.
However....every so often, I can't stop laughing. Sky/Guy's jealous face makes me laugh as does his 'pouty toddler face'. He has such a lovely smile too! My favourite face is the utter disdain on Venus' face when I know he's thinking: what is he saying?' - about Sky. I also laugh as he desperately tries not to laugh in some scenes. Sometimes I don't know if I should laugh or cringe at some of the scenes.
Janus & Bom are fun and their NC scene took me (and Venus!) by surprise. Tonkla and Tong are a bit dull....but they are probably the most real: two busy people trying to keep their relationship from falling apart.
Venus and Sky's first NC scene was a bit more realistic than I expected, in some places! In fact, most of their NC scenes were way more realistic than I expected.
What I liked: Janus - he can be so full of angst one minute and then really funny the next. There's a particular scene in the last episode that made me laugh so much. He was like a crazy person.
Something else that made me laugh is Sky's weird contorted mouth when he was kissing - he didn't do it every time. It seemed to be when he was in an awkward position. I found it so funny that I'm laughing now as I think about it!
What I didn't like: Sky's over the top toddler behaviour when he didn't get what he wanted. Stop!
Overall, not the best BL drama I've seen but it was funny for so many reasons.

If you like NSFW scenes...
This is just a short quick review:If you like NC scenes, this might be a series for you to feast your eyes on in a few parts. But truthfully, I didn't like this one much at all.
I found the plot was boring and so slow in places, I fast fowarded through chunks of the later episodes.
Bomb and J's romance was far more interesting to me than Sky and Venus, and probably the only reason I kept watching.
Finally, please tell me who the heck even ran that 7/11 properly? No wonder the business wasn't going well.

This show is so cringy and bad! Couldn't even get passed ep 4
I really tried my hardest and I rarely drop series cuz I want to give it a chance but the acting/script that was given to them was completely garbage. It was extremely hard to get through that I kept skipping scenes to the point that I wasn't even watching the show anymore. I don't recommend it to anyone unless you are desperate and even then don't waste your time. The doctor stalks his ex after they broke up and continues to annoy the other ml to get back with him once he finds out his ex works at this convenience store that is near his job. He makes his job difficult to be at until he gets his way, before I dropped the show it looked like the ml who works at the convenience store was starting to let him back into his life but mostly cuz the doctor is a childish annoying whinny baby threatened him that he will come to his job every single day until he started to talk to him again I think. I don't remember cuz I forgot this show existed cuz of how bad this is and started to watch better written and have better actors. I tried to watch it after the break I took and couldn't tolerate how annoying a childish the doctor was to get his ex back talking in baby.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Mixed Feelings, but I'd say...I still love the couple!
I mean..it's not the best BL made for sure, but it isn't as bad as what the comments made it to be.There's no major plot twist or dramatic events, but there is a storyline.
The storyline is exactly as synopsis says, it's about the courtship of main couple!
I love how the romantic tension is building up one episode after another. I feel like I get to enjoy their process of falling in love, all over again. It's a very sweet, romantic, fluffy, and even cute feelings.
Well, Vee's acting is awkward but Sky's acting is real good. I wanna see Sky more in other BL, i don't mind him with other pairing!
Sky's acting is really good. I can see it when he's tired with his sleepy eyes, and feel it when he says he loves Vee, I can even feel it when he's hor*ny...LOL... Seriously, his face shows everything. For this reason, it makes it easy to watch the show for me. Plus, he's really hot and good looking
I enjoyed the courtship, and how they got together and the X scenes at episode 9 is hot af. I also like some of the real life issues they tackle for all 3 couples, which are pretty realistic.
At least, these couples do communicate, which makes this BL a healthier ones than others.
Honestly, I was really enjoying the 1st 6 episodes, like a lot! Up till then, I wonder why people didn't like it, and then...i realized why after that...it gets draggy afterwards lol.
It could probably be real nice with 8 episodes top. The build up for 1st half of show is really great and then everyone should just have happy ending, rather than having introduced random cases towards the end just to make it up to 10 episodes.
I dropped at 9 episodes, can u imagine? I usually would have finished watching it with 1 episode left, but I don't bother anymore.
So...I'd still recommend you try watching it if you want a "feel good" BL where you don't have to worry about someone cheating, or overthink what's gonna happen, but just basking in their love.
Again, all the 3 couples are pretty cool, I just find that it'd be nice if it's shorter, but actually, if you break it down and look at each couple's story, I can understand why they make it to 10 episodes
Judge it for yourself, you can always drop the show!

Annoying & Boring
The whole reason for Venus being a total jerk to Sky for hours on end is all because he turned him down 3 years ago?!?So it went like this:
These two were best buds and one day Venus says "Oi Sky, I really fancy you, lets snog" (or words to that effect), Sky having tried the "snog", very gently replies that he get's it, but that he would rather stay friends, just as they have always been (not unreasonable I felt considering he just got this bomb shell dropped on him).
Venus then has a hissy fit at "being rejected" ?? and storms out never to speak to his best friend again.
So am I to assume, in the narcistic world of Venus, anyone who dares to say "no" gets dumped and blocked? And this is the premise for this whole boring story?
Well sorry producers & writers, it was utter rubbish and Venus needed a reality check and Sky needed a decent new boyfriend!
..... >:(

Bad actors... and plot.
While the story-line is flat and the conflict only exists because of the stubborn and butthurt main character, the actors didn't develop the characters at all. Though some think they had chemistry - especially in the NC scenes- i would have to completely disagree. The actors didn't have any raw chemistry and thus they have no on-screen chemistry. They also acted awkwardly throughout the series and the painful attempts at comedy were almost laughable. The MC and other actors were acting with RBFs and with repetitive expressions making the watching experience sufferable.Something that irritated me are the NC scenes, while some were moderately steamy the attempt at making it either comical or hot ruined them completely. In ep 8 when Sky and Venus make up and get it on their endeavour at making it hot bites them in the ass. They were completely out of sync while kissing and it was obvious that they tried to be like in the big leagues. Based on what i saw the actors were most likely not comfortable with each other nor right for roles as each other's lovers.
The plot only consists of him liking his friend back in school but getting rejected and never forgiving him. He's without a doubt the most selfish person, whether your crush likes you or not doesn't deside how you're going to treat them from then on.
The reason i gave this a 2 is only because of the second couple, although it's a little weird that bomb looks like venus I'm going to assume it's a coincidence and even though i liked them the most in this series i didn't have the same feelings for them as i did with many other couples or pairings.
This series wasn't good enough to finish and i wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Ordinary enemies to lovers full of fluff
This is light, fluffy, filled with hilarious comedy, and easily digest for the brainless me who hate heavy story. !!Only for those who need to refresh their mind with simple-story series!!Story 8/10, I personally love enemies to lovers trope with light conflict especially misunderstanding that made my heart aches once or twice cause I hate angst but I want to cry a bit, and I hate thinking too much when watching a series.
Acting 7/10, not the great great one but already facing the right direction. Special shout out to Tod for his gaze and his hilarious act, I enjoyed this series mostly because of him and how "real" his eyes are. I appreciate the "sip pal (re: numbers in korea)" scene but for some scene I did ask myself "am I watching prn?". I think there's no need to go that far.
Music 7/10, love the music in ep8 when Sky kissed Vee's hand after they made up ㅠㅠ but the music for the "sip pal" scene are comedic :")
Rewatch? Yes, absolutely. But maybe 2x speed and some skips.
By the way...
It's been so long since I feel like missing a Thai series right after the series ended, the "IT'S END ALREADY?! I WANT MORE" feeling.

A little slow at first but worth it
I’m puzzled about the low ratings too. I agree that it started out pretty slow but it ramped up later and didn’t slow down.The couples were great. Loved the main couple and their chemistry but Janus and Bomb stole the show for me. They are cute as can be and so funny. The cat…. ????
This whole thing was about relationships and how to love each other, through thick and thin. Even going through hardships, it’s possible to make it work. Communication is key.
The story was good.
The acting was good.
The music was good.
The intimate scenes were definitely steamy.
What’s not to love?

Slow burn you need to watch
After episode 3 I was completly invested. It is a slow burn, but the chemistry is there in spades. If you appreciate a good romance story with undoubtly queer storytelling, this is a series for you. The side couples are also good and have engaging plot lines of their own, and not just as fillers.The series is quite spicy, but it doesn’t feel added for shock value and misplaced. It feels as its there to drive the story further and as a tool to show the progression of the relationships between the couples. Also, they all have great chemistry in their pairings.
I just love the cuteness, affection, spicyness and clear love in this series. The actor who plays Sky is a standout to me, and I’m now a fan.

I adored this!
This show is definitely fluffy and not meant to be so serious. It's intentionally cheesy nature is a trope I also love, so if it's not your thing you may not enjoy it. I agree with others that it was a little slow, but it still kept me engaged and I had a positive experience and would definitely rewatch it.Every couple (especially the main) sold TFFFFFF out of those NC scenes! It took me so off guard since this was such a fun and silly show. ? but I loved it. ? It was also more realistic, like no "sexy" room or sheets, just your ordinary cat print bedding. ???
