Venus in the Sky (2023)

This show doesn't deserve so much hate!

I'm not sure why this got such bad reviews! I loved it, especially Tod and Cheque's acting ability. How many actors out there (especially in BL) can act out a NC scene and have viewers questioning whether it's real or acting? I liked the storyline behind it and the slow build up to understanding why it took so long for them to finally get together. Why this has so much hate, I'll never understand. I'm so glad I didn't listen to the reviews after reading some of them, otherwise I'd have missed out on a great series! It's a must watch and I highly recommend this show to anyone!

Should be called "Sky getting on Venus"

I'm so glad I had a second rewatch of this, I completely skipped out on watching episode 10, which is my favorite. This series was cute If you start at episode 7

Sky & Venus: Venus annoyed me up til episode 7, poor sky was trying to make amends for what he did in the past and he was trying to be happy and let Venus know that he cared about him and Vee was so mean to him, I do like though when Sky went silent for a while, Venus realized he could lose sky if he kept up the act he was doing. Venus also annoyed me during the special episode when Sky was sick and Vee saw the pills, instead of asking Sky what this was, he just left and ignored him. Not to mention, Sky was sick and took care of Venus when he was sick but Vee couldn't stay to ensure Sky was okay.

Janus & Bomb: These two were so funny, I love that they could care-lesswhere they did it. I like that they both didn't let Bomb's mother dictate if they dated or not and they showed her that they love each other.

Tong & Kla: These two were okay, I'm a big Max Detter fan so I loved him but after these two sorted out their differences, they were pretty cute.

it feels like watching a school play

Okay, the story is very predictable but right up my alley. From the start, you know Venus and Sky will end up together, because, hello, name of the show.. but the road towards that end was very.. amateuristic. Half of the time I felt like watching a school play, especially Venus, sorry to say, but I just didn’t feel it. His ‘love’ felt really forced which totally ruined the re-watch value of the show for me. I do hope to see Tod in other shows though, his smile lit up the room, he was much more genuine.
As for the NC scenes, they have to be some of the most explicit and spiciest I’ve seen in a BL, so a lot of credit to the actors and directors for that.
Now just work on the emotions part of the show and you’ve got a winner for sure ?

I was not expecting to struggle that badly getting through the first episode of this show...

I was not expecting to struggle that badly getting through the first episode of this show.. And I've sat through my fair share of bad series. I know that this seems to be the unpopular opinion so far though so if you've enjoyed it, I am so entirely happy for you! But for me, was not vibing with any of it. None of the characters seemed to have any ounce of charm, they were actually pretty annoying and the episode was so long; it just kept going in circles for forever. By the end of ep1, I was left irritated and so done with it all. Safe to say that I will not be sitting thru another episode. DROPPED.
The acting wasn't horrible but it also wasn't good. The premise is basic enough and had potential to at the very least, be decent but the way that they'd approached it, along with the editing, didn't do it any favors at all. It actually really harmed it. As for the subs, they were confusing but there's been dramas with much worse translations so I personally didn't really see that as a problem, though I guess it didn't help.
I'd give this a zero (or 0.5) in Rewatch Value but mdl doesn't let you enter anything less than 1 star. And of course here's the disclaimer that this was just the first episode, and that anything can happen in the following episodes; I truly do hope it gets better but I for one will not be sticking around to see if that's the case. One episode was *more* than enough for me lol

My Rating: 2.63/10 stars
Edit: and oh yeah for anyone curious, I even watched it on x3 speed

Full on irritating

What a load of twaddle, ive never been so bored of a bl in my life.
Wth it took forever,for the main characters to get together i mean did they ,i couldnt watch it nomore was it really worth it ,that proper got my goat stupidness, so bloody childish arghhhh i wanted to scream at the screen so many times total crap.
I dont actually think there was anything about this bl series that i liked at all not the characters, the plot, the music nothing sorry i just didnt see the point in my opinion it was like waiting for paint to dry painfully slow,the brother just got on my nerves and the best friend and his bf were just there ,for what ive no clue nah couldn't do it again ever i think the only one i could actually tolerate was the brother's bf thats it and his part weren't huge so that's saying something i tried but just couldn't carry on.

Give this one a shot...

I ended up really liking this one - agreeing with others that there are parts and people you can fast forward through and not miss anything.

This is a multi-episode commercial for 7-Eleven with a story thrown in. My biggest surprise was seeing 7-Eleven avoiding offering a full on espresso selection along with their smoothie bar. This would truly make them a one stop shopping for quick needs both going to and leaving work.

A little grating from the Thai group - why do you feel it necessary to always make all the sons in the family gay? Why can't one brother be straight and the other not - and, as in all these - have everyone be okay with it. Anywho - small complaint.

Love Venus. Strong character who understandably is very guarded. At the very least - he knows he is being taken advantage of - work wise - and leaves. Through his brother's 7-Eleven ownership - he meets Sky - three years after being rejected by him. Sky, trying so hard to get back together with him keeps whitewashing the past and that makes Venus bothered even more. This is the strongest storyline in the whole series. The secondary storyline with the brother is badly done and usually ignored by the director and writers - it shows. The third storyline could have been left out completely - busy people not connecting and drifting apart. Yawn. Cute characters though - nice eye candy. LOL

I grew to really like Sky and Venus and really LOVED the behind the scenes stuff we saw between the episodes. So nice to see such good hearted people get the work and appreciate being in the series.
