Very few series captivated me the way 1000 Stars did. It's not a perfect show and has more than a few faults but the package as a whole more than delivers: unique plot,  superb acting and incredible music.

My expectations were initially low, BLs are not exactly my kind of quality entertainment. By the time I discovered 1000 Stars, 3 episodes were released already and I binged watch all 3 in one sitting.

Suffice to say, Friday has been my favorite day after that.

Episodes 1 to 5 are perfection, it's like riding a rollercoaster that's slowly going up, building anticipation on where the series is going. The show makes the best cliffhangers too.  Episodes 6 to 9 is when the ride took sudden twists and turns, some I find frustrating to be honest, it was either a yay or a nay ?. But despite everything, the show didn't lose its heart and I was so invested in Pupha and Tian's story that I badly clamored for a happy ending.

Earth and Mixx are a match made in heaven. What a pairing, incredible chemistry! My heart is swelling with happiness everytime they gaze into each other. I am all for that slow burn romance as I personally find it more relatable. It was a good move to focus the story on the leads with no side couples.

1000 Stars also introduced several supporting characters with a heart in the form of Torfun (great girl, I really felt sorry for her), Tul and Longtae (the friends we all need), Khama ever the wisest with his way of words and the best wingman in the Universe, Dr. Nam! They all serve their purpose and no one came across as one-dimensional, you cared for each.

Lastly, the musical score of this series is top-notch, I am enjoying the OST way too much.

A Tale of Thousand Stars deserves all the outpouring love it's getting and rightfully so. May it inspire other upcoming series to elevate the game of story telling. For now, this is my favorite.
