A sport-romance drama that is greater than average

For a Thai Bl, it is quite rare to see a love story centering in a sports genre. A fresh concept to offer for the viewers. At first, I occasionally felt bored from some scenes but fortunately it gets better the more episodes I’ve watched. It started in a cute way and you can really feel the romance between them. The exciting plot development leads me to liking the show and allows me to improve my previous rating from them. The cinematography was enjoyable too. It actually adds a little bit of dramatic approach to the flow of the story and it was a nice visual element to look at. I found it endearing that their uniforms match the color of the bench at the upper viewpoint of the field. The combination of the bright colors is pretty and the design was perfect for a student who majors in physical sport.

The show provided us with three couples to look forward to and each of them has something to offer. I like the flirting stage and the contradictory of every couple; Fah-Thorn has a timid & sweeping start; Aii-Saen possesses the flirty & reserved type of courtship; while Dome-Vee has a bit of complexity and petrifying emotions to conquer.

Thorn, having a one-sided crush for Fah since they were kids, was painful. I can’t help but to feel sad for him. It is a relief that finally he has acquired the same kind of love he was hoping for a long time, even Fah himself felt like he was an idiot that time. But there’s nothing wrong with not liking back a person who romantically admired you. Luckily, Fah also grows feelings for Thorn and the moment when they exchange kisses was so great. I can feel the lingering emotion they have for each other, a well executed kissing scene. The conflict about their relationship is common and inevitable for those who share a similar dream. If the other one is getting ahead with a long gap of distance, sometimes the one who left behind can’t escape feeling envious and sorrowful. The whole basketball game during the episode prior to the last is an intense one. I love the tension, the drama, the reconnection, the burst of emotions, and Thorn’s realization of his sudden change of attitude that affects the way he treats the people around him. During Thorn’s desperate period of time to catch up to the wasted months of him being injured until he finally breaks down in pain, Fah waits for him for months until he can finally embrace a sense of comfort to Thorn once again. Both of them fit to be the main couple; two men playing a game in the field of their dream as official partners in life.

Saen and Aii are cuties! The lovey-dovey moments of these two stood the most. Their relationship's biggest wall is not the long distance itself but it is when one of them sacrifices his long-awaited dream for the sake of love that just blooms in a few months. I am happy that they talked about this topic with honest and sincere thought. I am not a big fan of seeing those who choose romance over ambition, it’s a good thing that the drama doesn’t use this kind of cliche plot anymore. Saen is such boyfriend material, his way of showing his love is sending me butterflies. Initially, I thought that Aii can’t sync with the level of affection that Saen gives to him but then I realized the two of them have a different personality; one is introverted and the other one is socially active. The best attribute that this couple had is the power of communication. There’s always a problem to be encountered in life, it’s hard but when both of them talk about it, there’s a huge chance that the problem itself will eventually fade away.

The right person in a wrong time love story of Dome and Vee. It was a moment of ups and downs that is really hard to conclude a happy ending since the wall between them is not something to be forgotten easily. The beach episode is a breath of fresh air for the non-stop physical activities and they make a sublime use of the scenario. Opening up your feelings mostly happened at the beach or resorts whether in drama or real life. The rainbow after the storm seems far from their relationship but I admire how they handle the situation with calmness and most reasonable thought. The ending was the best conclusion for them. A little talk was enough to establish their thoughts even more. It is a realistic and commendable plot.

The rest of the characters in this show left a memorable role. The unforeseen shift of character from the coach who started up as an antagonist was indeed shocking to me. I honestly think that I will hate him until the end but each person does have two sides. What I like about this coach is that he didn't insult Thorn and Fah’s homosexual relationship. The basketball team was a lovely group of people who acquired a kind heart and a thoughtful mind. Fluke impact to this drama is a big shout out to the norm of using openly gay character only for the comedy element. Fluke on the other hand is a dependable gay player in the team that helps the development of the main couple to the absolute best. She is interesting to watch and I am glad that the story gave her a nice ending by being the new student activity president. On the other hand, I feel bad for Pan (Vee’s sister) to experience a shocking turn of events. Yet, she herself is also the one who pushes Vee and Dome to reconcile. She is a thoughtful and loving sister to Vee’s life. Tupbok is such an eye candy to the show hihi he is cute along with Pete. The rest of the supporting characters play very well in the story. Sometimes, I forget that Torn and Saen are best friends because they literally have their own world when having a moment together with their respective boyfriends.

The ending is so satisfying, a nice way to end the show. The closure that each character got was amazingly done in the most realistic and accepted way. You’re My Sky is probably one of the above average sports dramas that I’ve ever seen. Way to go!
