I really tried to push through this
Usually when a show has a huge fan base and high ratings. I've learned to exit stage left because I'm not about to argue with nobody about why they like the show or what makes it so special especially if I think it sucks. After all, I have several times in histrionics defended a lot of terrible shows due to my questionable but superior tastes and have fought for my life in those comment sections.This show is awfully unwatchable.
Its not like it has a ghastly terrible plot. Afterall I've seen worse. I just finished a drama about a penguin and panther ffs. its not like it needs to be the matrix before i can enjoy it, and its not like this is not manageable. It has an easy enough plot, a good chunk of attractive actors and some noticeable names...err mike. But it had such a huge glaring problem I couldn't ignore. The acting is useless, nonsense and very rubbish. Plus the characters are quite boring.
Acting/Characters
My main problem with this show is everyone in this show. The acting is extremely stiff and for some reason there are a lot of closeups of actors that dont move their faces or always look mildly concerned whenever they try to convey emotions. I swear muenfah has had the same expressions on his face since this show started. Happy, sad, excited, angry...he looks the same. Teerak is supposed to be cute but it feels forced, like maybe its the height or how everytime he speaks it feels like there's cotton in his mouth.
Then there's this one Hia. I don't even know what he's been doing....I cant quite unpack exactly what kind of facial expressions I've seen him pull off in his attempt to act.
The show has a talent problem. It feels like an advertisement for new pretty actors for the company, rather than a show with a plot, storyline, and a villian. Even the issues with Oh felt like some caricature. I wasn't amused because the teerak I've been watching is not worth that kind of effort. Sorry.
Aggrieved Thoughts
The show just feels glittery fake handbag. Its good to look at subjectively. Its very pretty, bright and shiny after all. But the closer you look the beads and sequences are falling off, it has a lot of bald spots and its not worth the price. . and definitely not worth the hype.

a comfort show with some hiccups
Overall: the sweet/caring dynamic was fun to watch, but there were a few plot/character missteps. 12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Uncut on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/your-sky-episode-1-1mjy70t567o?lang=en_us ; episode 1 cut on YouTube (not available in Japan or South Korea) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcTibKbv20S4ZNMvGUzUFQZrJenvr4xCa&si=Z1iDluCF_Hhpy73L I added up the timings in ep 1 and the uncut was about 1 minute longer - I didn't see any difference between the cut and uncut versions. This review is for the uncut version as that was the only entry when I first reviewed this. I don't see any YouTube episodes after ep 1.Question - I'm wondering if the nickname "Saggy Cheeks" would better be translated to "Squishy Cheeks" - if anyone who speaks Thai can talk about the translation please let me/us know. "Saggy Cheeks" has a negative connotation to me but I had the impression that it was a silly nickname, not a negative nickname.
Content Warnings: manipulation, non con touching/manhandling, punches, non con picture taking/sharing, coercion, transphobia, non con touching, victim blaming, homophobia, manhandling
Watch Suggestions (uncut version, will try to go back to the cut version and add those)
- watch episodes 1-6
- episode 7 watch beginning to 3min and 52-end
- episode 8 start at 13:30
- episode 9 skip 31:30-35 and 38-44
- can watch all of episode 10 though the second couple annoyed me
- episode 11 watch 4:15-21 and 47-54:50
What I Liked
- showed a main character as kind through his actions at the beginning
- caring/sweet dynamic and that they communicate
- one of the few child-like characters who has agency (actively makes his own decisions without being manipulated into things)
- supportive friend group
- Fah's loving and supportive family
- non cliche ex girlfriend
- intimacy and check ins
Room For Improvement
- character exposition dump montage with voice over for the other main character
- though Rak had agency, his continued child-like demeanor got on my nerves after he and Fah were intimate
- the stereotypical trans woman character
- nonsense stuff: so drunk he couldn't recognize someone but still able to stand/walk and talk; friends didn't seem to know what was going on but everyone else did in ep 2, that the antagonist didn't switch his focus to someone else
- in episode 6 they needed to show them filming so viewers realized that it was for the student film and didn't really happen (on/near the beach)
- in episode 7 what a character did could have killed another character, that was too violent and though the couple did briefly talk later, I couldn't totally trust a character that showed that level of violence
- a character randomly showed up to comfort Oh, they could have weaved that character in earlier
- nonsense in episode 8, there was plenty of time to say something to another character
- in episode 8 a 3rd couple comes out of nowhere, could have built that up better
- the victim blaming in ep 9 was infuriating
- continuity error in ep 9 of no pants and then pants
- some of the camera angles were odd
- episode 10 with the apology letter and shopping part
- episode 11 a character acted totally different (and other characters hinting at it didn't work because what I saw as a viewer was different), the other adults not saying things right away, the manhandling, the 180 shift, none of it worked for me
- (neutral) comedy sound effects

my opinion
tbh i didn't like it. ig it's just not my type. there's a lot of people who like this series but i find it very cutesy and cringy. it's totally personal. i respect others opinions too. i just wanted everyone to know about mine too. im not into these type of dramas. the storyline is nice to me. the casting is also good. i feel the acting is too plain and cutest which i don't like. im dropping the series. i look forward to the ending. I'll probably come back to this if the reviews are good. don't take the review personal guys.edit. 01/01/2025
y'all. i might try watching it again after getting a spoiler from Instagram. i kinda liked the video. i will try to edit the review again then.

HOW TO FUCK YOUR 8 YEAR OLD COUSIN
The story is simpler than the mechanism of a pen. If you tell me that it came out in 2015, that is, 10 years ago, I can understand that it is the most of the most and that everyone is talking. But this in 2025 seems to me to be the most boring story. It's cliche after cliche. Fake relationship where both end up falling in love but GIRL we had already passed that time.The performances are bad, I don't know if it's because the actors aren't good at acting or because the whole plot is so cringing that they don't know how to act. I don't see any chemistry between MLs . The actor who plays Teerak is always hunched over and the one who plays Fah, I don't know if it's because of his character or what, but he just smiles, even Joker didn't smile that much. The thing is that they do not transmit any emotion, always they have the same face.
I refuse to believe that you are treating him all the time as if you were taking care of your 8-year-old cousin and in episode 9 they have sexual relations. Come on, you are so horny that it seems like you like to fuck a minor.
As I understand it, this in Thailand is being a great success and I'm happy for them because oh my goodness it seems that they are more outdated when it comes to BL and that they perpetuate canons and clichés, thank God there are more series outside that explore different themes because this is like I said at the beginning 10 years ago ok, but now....

saved by good visual casting from flopping.
at first, i was hooked on this series because the first episode was great, and i thought it would be good until the end. but as the other episodes came out, the storyline just got terrible and boring. the characters are so poorly written—it’s like a typical school project, nothing special to keep watching. thankfully, the cast has good visuals, and that’s what saved this series from flopping. i haven’t seen anyone say the series itself was good, just people praising the cast.Was this review helpful to you?

I only write reviews if I think something is too good.
I know this show may seem a hair unconventional, but honestly, I love it so much. It’s kind of giving slow burn but without the slow burn as they are a “fake couple”. The chemistry the two leads have is amazinggggg, it has me giggling and kicking my feet constantly. The only thing I hate is the fact I couldn’t wait until the whole series aired to watch it because GODDD, I hate waiting a whole week to watch. I would’ve had this series finished in two days. I highly recommend if you’re looking for something light ( it’s at least pretty light in the beginning, could get a little messy as it goes on). But I’m sure you’ll be hooked too if you like cute shows like this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Just dumb.
I have to drop this. I tried so hard to like it, but urg. Teerak is such an idiot. He just stands around and blinks. He tried to hold hands like arm wrestling. Literally holding hands is something little kids do, it's not a learned skill. He was about to stab some cabbage. Has he never even seen anyone hold a knife before? I get that some shows are over the top, but it's too much for me.Was this review helpful to you?
overhyped.
man i was so excited to watch this series after i saw some clipped scenes on youtube and instagram, the hype made me watch it alright. but jesus godamned christ this was unbearable. i sat through 6 episodes somehow and it's honestly just taking all my willpower to just smash my laptop shut, but no, i paid for this device.meunfah has one expression throughout the show, be it happy, sad, angry or whatever the other emotion he's trying to express, and it's a stone face, something like this 0-0. he tried to smile here and there, blush and stuff but honestly it did not hit for me.
also the teerak guy, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH he annoyed the shit out of me every time he appeared on the screen with his fake-ass naive, wannabe cute expression. like no one is THAT naive bro, please. the cute role does not suit him. it got to a point where i started nit-picking on all the flaws in the character.
now let me tell you i'm all for the fluff type of person, like i'd even take crappy made bls if the fluff is worth it. but this just pissed me off. you know what would be cool? if teerak turned out to be faking his entire persona to manipulate meunfah, and oh is his right hand man adding fuel to the situation. something like a psychotic serial killer. but honestly, this show is a no-brainer, and it's not worth your time.
i'll be honest, i pushed through 6 episodes only because of the 'punlee' character and of course, thomas. he might be expressionless but bro is hot. i'm tired of brainless college bl's, or maybe i'm used to better quality ones. that's all i have to say.

Same Old
In a word- boring, very slow paced. I’m halfway through all the episodes that have been streamed and not holding my interest. There naivety and innocence is dragging the story down. I’m really disappointed and might come back to speed through it but for now I’m done!😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

I am LOVING it so far ?
I know not everyone is a fan of super cute or perhaps “cringe” shows but i really find this show hilarious and super adorable. Thomas and Kong surprised me with the 🔥 scenes , i am in still complete shock how insane their chemistry is 🤣 even just throughout the show. I think there is still room for improvement though , and i love the side couples, super cute to watch :) I am also a sucker for the “ pretending to be together” shows so if you are too definitely give it a go !!! i might change this review after i finish watching it though hahaWas this review helpful to you?

A Sweet Romance With Endearing Characters
This is one of those shows that surprises you in a good way!After watching the 5 minutes long trailer that was released last month, I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about watching this show. I’m not a huge fan of shows produced by Mandee Works Official so far and them pitching an entirely new pairing didn’t liken me to this premise. So, I was rather pleasantly surprised when I watched the pilot episode. Adapted from the novel “Your Sky” (Your sky #กี่หมื่นฟ้า) by 25.15.66, the show stars Kong Kongpob & Thomas Teetut as the main leads. An ordinary love story with an enchanting couple, “Your Sky Series” doesn’t offer anything unique in terms of storytelling. It is the same old, cliche college romance, where the campus hottie falls for a bewildering yet sweet first year. The first two episodes set the stage for the budding romance between the main characters. There is something endearing about Kong that sets the tone of this storyline. He leads the storyline with his naive attitude and innocent mindset, which is at contrast to Thomas’s reserved, stoic demeanor. A match made in heaven!
