Wasted potential.


I don’t judge a book by its cover. The cover is the reviews I read before watching this. It turned out that I should have. Honestly, the main reason I started watching this is Our Sky 2, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to me. I can barely tolerate this show…Was is created on a rush or something? I can not percieve this drama as a romance. Romance? Where did you see any sign of romance? Dao is the pivot around which everything turns here…This drama should have been named after Dao only. I used not to have high expectations from Thai dramas, but it has changed after I watched “A tale of thousand stars”, “the eclipse’’, “my school president”, ‘’Vice Versa’’ and other dramas that really captured my whole attention. THIS ONE IS JUST A COMPLETE MESS, but I felt responsible to plug away. Kluens favorite word ‘’nonsense’’ best describes this drama, so I decided to watch it at 1.5x speed.

Why does everyone have to fall in love with Dao? What are support roles are here for? Dao’s friends are here to meet their families so Dao could stay alone and had a chance to spend his time with Kluen. I couldn’t feel their friendship here. I didn’t feel anything at all. Who is Dao? A guy who is always lazy, but everyone has to get along with his unbearable personality. His character didn’t develop at all. He turns Kluen down, then goes to him and demands not to run to Gia, when she really needed Kluen. What is this if not selfisheness? Kluen told him how important Gia was to him, but Dao didn’t even give a shit about it. “YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE’’. THEY WERE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP, WHAT CHOICES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?’’.

I don’t get Phoon. His behaviour is egoistical to me: “I did that to trigger Dao’s feelings. I don’t want to be a loser”. WOULD A LOVING PERSON SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

Kluen..His character is better than the others, although I wouldn’t call him reasonable either. What’s the incentive for not telling about his break-up with Gia and then getting jealous seeing Dao with someone else, trying to kiss him all of a sudden. I liked his short, but meaningful answers, he was not talkative, was more into observing people and actually DOING SOMETHING. Phoon asked Dao to give him one day for taking care of him and showing his true feelings. WHAT DID HE DO? NOTHING. In fact, he was not able to take care of Dao, because the latter agreed to give him that “one day’’ just to spite Kluen. “I gave him a payback”. The toxicity in every word uttered in this drama is suffocating.

Also PAPENG WHO INEXORABLY ASKS FOR CHANCES…But..Here I get the point. “Nobody likes to be rejected. I can’t do the same to her, because I know how it feels like (I don’t remember his quotes precisely, but here’s the point”. Yeah, gotta say that there was a moment I really liked: Phoon asked Dao to choose between mountains and sea, and it was obvious that the choice was not about locations, but 2 people.

The plot is a total horseshit. If only I could make such a mess and solve my problems leaving for Germany…
The support roles exist because it Is crucial for making a drama, that’s it. A side couple appeared for an instant (Dao’s brother and some fellow bumping into each other), but yeah, of course we don’t need to see what happens to them, because the drama is about one and only Dao.

The chemistry…I have already noted that ‘’romance’’ and “Star and Sky: Star in my mind” are antonyms. There’s no such thing as chemistry, but, frankly, the cast is well-chosen, the actors are good looking. Alas, this drama is wasted. 2.5/10
