Just WOW!
Didn't expect the best program I've seen all year to be a bl from Thailand. It took me over a month to write this because writing a review meant the show was over.First, a lot of those points come from just the music and scenery that are not just an accompaniment but an integral part of the story almost like another main character. I dont think Mountains have been made to look this good since The Sound Of Music...
And then there is the story. How could they make something so clichéd feel so fresh and new? I cried and laughed and made all sorts of weird noises at my tablet and it was just wonderful!
Witch brings me to the main actors Earth and Mix. I know the bl public is out there shipping them as a couple in real life and I hate this aspect of thai productions, but their on screen chemistry is amazing and I would like to see them do more projects together.

It makes me fall in love for them?
To be honest, this is my first BL series. And coming from a kdrama fan, it's kinda awkward seeing their acting kinda strange in a way, especially Earth with that unnatural smile. But, I say but cause it makes sense! I think Phupa got a lovestruck first time he sees Tian, so that's why the smile is warm and awkward, cause it's love. From the beginning, me that just watched it for fun become really invested in the story and even cry when Tian got overwhelmed. And that last episode, it's like they just giving bomb of surprises, from forehead kisses, that scene on the cliff, and in Phupa's house OMG! Definitely worth watching, (tmi I became Earth fans now and my wallpaper + gallery is full with his damn smile. If I ever shake his hand, I will die peacefully)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Imperfect but ultimately satisfying
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.

The best Thai BL I ever watched in my life.
This series has everything you expect from a good show. The story is interesting and the actors are incredible. They have amazing chemistry and let you feel butterfly’s in your stomach the whole time.It’s not a story about a third person who’s ruining the relationship or university students.
It’s something new and unique.
You have to watch this masterpiece.
Overall it doesn’t feel rushed and is a must for every boys love fan.
The production team and director did an amazing job on the cinematography.
The actors let you feel every single emotion and mix (the actor of tian) is a rookie and still manages to do such a good job.
You will not be disappointed after watching it.

JOIN IN THE ROLLER COASTER OF WELL-EXECUTED TV DRAMA
This series gave a new perspective in BL Dramas. It reflects the reality of life because aside from the romance, it emphasizes appreciation of one's life, love for nature, and challenges in social classes. The characters also portray different love languages and a balance of comedic side. The osts are also spectacular. If you'll venture more by looking at the behind the scenes, you'll realize that from the director, all the cast members, staff and crew, everyone of them struggles so hard (span of 2 years) to complete this series. And the result-- PERFECTION. Each individual involved in this project is truly commendable. Hands downn! All in all, A MUST WATCH SERIESS! Recommended 11/10Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
THIS IS PURE PERFECTION
This makes me so sad because time flies so fast to see this masterpiece at its end (I hope not).The Story as a whole gives a new standard for BLs series out there, it has a mature feeling that all of the cast gives throughout the drama.
The acting style of this series is a chef kiss with an attitude, they really give their all to make the drama even great, the act like this there is no tomorrow and it shows that they really like what they are doing.
The music of this series gives me chills and makes me wanna stream the song for nostalgic reasons and the song itself makes the drama even more dramatic.
Gonna Rewatch this series more than ever like what I've done at SOTUS,
My final thing to say is kudos to the people behind the camera for there all their hard work and dedication to finish this masterpiece even though what is happening to the world right now.
GONNA WAIT FOR THE SEASON 2 OF THIS MASTERPIECE!

The Thai Standard of BL Series
Story: Definitely the best. I had fears that it might fail because it was based and adapted from a novel, however, the serious undertones and unique setting had made this one the standard of TH BL. It surpassed even that of Lovely Writer.Acting: Superb acting. Add to that the chemistry between the two couples was palpable. It truly seems that Earth had met his soulmate. I wish to see them again in another series.
Music: I love how the OSTs were placed in each scene properly. And the song choices were heaven!

All worth the wait
1000 Stars indeed didn't disappoint. In fact, it has exceeded most of the viewers' expectation and become this year's first contender for the best BL series.The first episode was a bit long but it showed us just enough details to keep our interest and curiousity. The last scene of the first episode when Tian arrived at the village and saw the chief was a fitting ending and the same time beginning of their journey together.
We have seen how well the development of characters were shown. It is light-hearted and funny, but it was never corny. The teasing and flirting between the two main characters were perfectly acted that no 'I love yous' were needed. Their personalities also were perfect for each other. The gaze of the chief really makes everyone's heart melt. It's subtle yet it showed so much love.
The simplicity of life is the village is such a beauty in itself. The sunsets, the cliff and the mountains made the scenes even more romantic as they already were. Paired with the music of a traditional wind instrument, this series truly let all our senses experienced its beauty.
The last episode was indeed a rollercoaster ride. Viewers got frustrated and devastated at first. I would have settled with that 'ending' if it would make the story more realistic. However, the director really know how to play with our emotions. It was not until the last part when they were finally 'together'.
'Dont waste your life up here. You have your life ahead of you.'
'I am building my future here. With you.'
I know I didn't get the exact words right but that's really sweet. And the kiss, we didn't even think that it was coming but there it did, and it was a very romantic kissing scene with the sunset at the background.
Thanks to Phupha and Tian for a very wonderful story that will be remembered for a long time. To the whole team of 1000 stars, congratulations. It was all worth the wait.

My honest review for this drama
When i saw this story trailer for the first time, i already attracted to watch this drama... I wait patiently for this drama to be air and when it's finally air i wait for another 10 weeks just to watch this drama without stop it...What can i say is that this drama really worth to watch as the actors really works hard and their chemistry is on another level since the make the stort so smooth. I don't need to skip the drama since it's really addicting and so i don't even skip because i feel like it is a waste not watching even a little scene... i really love how the actors really suits with characters and how the act the character as it's their own life or themselves... No need to say much the one who don't watch it yet please watch it before you regret...

Still can’t move on
Finally GMMTV getting out of their high school/ university BL theme. 10 weeks full of happiness for me, waiting for the new episode aired seem time moving too slow. Even though there’s a few flaw of the series, overall I still can enjoy it. The chemistry of both actor is the main ingredient that make this series more stand out. Mixx acting is good as n newbie. Earth, I can see his improvement but need more practice in term of his facial expression. All the supporting actor, actress and the kids really make this series more vibrant and colourful.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
