Um Conto de Mil Estrelas (2021)

ALL-TIME BEST

What more could I ask? Everything ATOTS has offered is beyond outstanding.

This series did not just go outside the box, it went extra miles outside it. From a typical school or university romance, ATOTS has given a different interpretation of schooling. It brought us closer to traditions, culture and simple living in Pha Pun Dao. It wants us to go back to our heritage, not just for Thais but for everyone's cultures as well. We must learn to appreciate our roots and never forget them because it is the mirror of who we are now. It also wants us to realize that no challenges and problems can beat a strongly-bonded community. One can do something, but many can do more.

The casts were impeccable. I can not complain with every single actor with their respective portrayal of their characters. Mix is such a great actor considering his inexperience. If no one knew that, no one would have thought that it was his first series and as a lead at that. Pairing him with Earth is a eureka indeed. Earth always do well in his projects, but I can't find enough words to praise his work in this series. Their chemistry worked really well. I can't also choose anyone to replace Nammon, Drake, Champ, White and Khaotung to do better than they did. Those who watched it can all agree that the series was made even special and fun because of them. The one who played Khama, the village chief was the best philosopher in all BLs. He was not just there for nothing. His words of wisdom touches the soul and pierces the heart. The kids were adorable and sweet. Truly, the series was meaningful because of them.

The OST is perfect, not only because it matches the countryside theme but it just gives me the feels of all the scenes every time it is played. Thank you for giving us this music.

They did the right move not to spoil us with many kissing scenes. Just the last episode was enough to make us believe in the reality of their love.

I can't believe this is over. I want more and I know I am not alone wishing. If only I could go to the cliff and count 1000 stars to make my wish come true, I will.

Hope to see EarthMix in more projects soon.

Beautiful and Heart warming

Highly recommended.
First Thai drama that i actually followed from start to finish, everything for me was perfect.

From the cast to the music, especially the chemistry. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this show left a lasting impression for me. I was crying for most of the last few episodes and sometimes i don't even know if it's because of the story or because it's almost ending. But after the last episode i actually felt happy and content with their story.

The story was great, i guess i liked it because it's not just romance but life affirming too (which i guess why some people doesn't like it) like i feel like the characters are real that's why it's harder to move on. It wasn't too slow for me, i feel like their relationship was moving in a realistic pace.

The music will give you LSS (last song syndrome), especially the one from the last episode.

The cast and acting for me was great especially the way they act with their eyes, just small movement but you can see the difference in emotion.

AGAIN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. It may not be as perfect for you as it was for me, but i hope you'd give it a chance and keep an open mind. I love love the ending already so i'm not too keen for a season 2, but i would like a special episode or a movie maybe just so we can see the villagers reaction when Tian came back and how they'll live their life there.

The best show I've ever watched

and I'm not only counting in BL shows because this series is so much more than just a love story between two guys.

It is a story about the valuables and hardships of life, to learn how to forgive yourself, finding out and accepting your sexuality and to realize what your heart is longing for and where your place in the world is.

The whole scenery of the village and the strong bond that has developed between Tian and the villagers is so beautiful to watch and brings you to the edge of tears.

It is also great to watch Tians progression from start to end and the very meaningful act at the end of the last episode really highlights that. (not gonna say what exactly happed, you should just watch yourself ;))

Onto what I guess the majority of people makes them want to watch the story, the relationship between Phupha and Tian. These two have so much chemistry you need to remind yourself from time to time that this is just a series and not real-life. I'm so happy that they did not rush their relationship just to please the audience, they waited up the right timing for the kiss and them becoming lovers to wrap up the story perfectly and to really bring out all the emotions! Besides that you could already feel the feelings they have for each other way before that making this series being packed with a bunch of sweet moments that make you swoon over them.

This series deals with a lot of different kinds of issues that actually made me rethink my own life and realize that I as well need to look for what really makes me happy.
Summing up I would not recommend this series to whoever is looking for something light-hearted with a bunch of horny kissing and bed scenes. But I'm confident that anyone who is ready to watch a beautiful love story between to people and characters who develop mentally and learn something important for their own life will have an awesome time watching this series!

Thank you for reading my review and (hopefully) have a great time watching if you haven't already!

Perfect

Everything about this series just so perfect. Not just some high school love story that’s so cliche. Their relationship are so pure and healthy, not focusing on sex only like portrayed by some series. The osts are also very great. Don’t forget to prepare a lot of tissues anyway while watching. The storylines are so beautiful and the characters portrayed perfectly by every single actor and actress. A really good job done by the director, the crews and actors. This series really raise the standard in BL. Honestly speaking this series deserves more recognition from everywhere in the world.

Just wonderful
The title track was best among the bl I have ever heard of.
Good acting but I felt one of the protagonist acted a little less compared to other, but not a major flaw and all .
Plot line was good, at first I didn't have a good impression when I read the plot before watching, but after watching it felt one of good bl in 2020-2021,at par with I told the sunrise about u.
Phupha acting was so good, and the simplicity of the village felt nice too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

IT'S A FICTION

as we know, this series is adapted from a novel, and we know that novel is a fiction. When we talk about fiction, it is something that we create or imagine. some fiction based on logics, while some donts. To produce a good story, it's good to follow the logics too. I find some people gets too serious when reviewing something. I don't study arts so my review will be based on what I get from the series.
Acting - i can't deny Earth is good, like he improve so much for this series. For Mix, i don't have any word to describe how excellent he is, but i hope he didn't put too much pressure on himself, we it's hard to do a crying scene.
Music - some series put unnecessary music /bg sound, but this series handle it very well. The music fits the scenes very well. Good job to the editor team.
Storyline - everyone had their own personal opinion but for me, the storyline is almost perfect. Back to what i said about logics. According to law, Tian actually indirectly kill Torfun but we must remember this is a fiction. Not all fiction based on logic. The writer can make a sad ending if she wants, maybe Tian end up getting prosecuted, but it's just a fiction. It would be more realistic if it goes thay way. i could say that this series is actually a mature one. You don't need a toxic character, you don't need exes or shits like that to make the main characters realize they had feelings for each other. Phupa's jealousy is not over and just sweet. This series really teach you how to listen to your heart. And i love how Tian still decided to go to US eventhough he might not be able to see Phupa, a mature love need sacrifices.

This is only my opinion, thank you <3

GO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW OR ELSE!!<3

Let me just start by saying that i am NOT a person who usually takes the time out of their day to write lengthy reviews, short reviews or any form of reviews for that matter. After watching this series, i had no choice but to come on here and write this lengthy review so forgive me in advance if i jump all over the place. If you're waiting for a sign to watch this series because you are on the fence about watching it, here it is. GO WATCH!<3

Review:
I. AM. IN.LOVE.WITH.THIS.SERIES!!!I've seen my fair share of BLs, and i can say that none has come close to the magic that was created in this series. I literally just finished watching this series with tears rolling down my face and all i can say is WOW!!This is truly a Love story, one written so well and portrayed marvelously by Mix and Earth like i literally cannot picture any other actor playing Tian and Phupha than them. Mix has done an outstanding job in this series. he portrayed emotions so raw and beautiful in every scene, some might even argue that he carried the show on his back lol. Earth did what he had to do too. Absolutely loved watching his growth throughout the entirety of the series. Their chemistry, intensity, longing for one another has been felt throughout the of this series. Im not going to lie, i decided to watch it partly because they are both very beautiful men. I can say without a shadow of doubt that this series is THE best BL I've had the pleasure of watching . It was so refreshing seeing Thailand getting away from the university trope story/settings they usually do in their BLs and venturing out of their comfort zones. Everything flowed organically, nothing was forced. from the story, to the acting to the amazing soundtrack, everything is so beautifully done that i could stop myself from coming on here to express my heartfelt gratitude towards all of the cast, actors, actresses and team that came together to create this story.
I would like to take this time to just talk about the ending. I knew they would inevitably have some form of fight but I was not emotionally ready to watch them go through it given how their characters are so warm, gentle, caring, loving, expressive and in love with each other. Ive never watched a BL who simultaneously ripped my heart to shreds shortly after fixing it and make it whole all in the spam of one episode. I was literally crying waterfalls. If i learned anything from this show is that you can find happiness in the simplest of things and also dont jump to conclusions until you know all of the facts to avoid heartache. !!!!SPOILER!!!!Also that kiss at the end gave me EVERYTHING i never knew i needed. their embrace. their exchange of words and their hug! you could literally feel the love radiating off of them. Im glad they saved it till the end. so Many emotions swept over me :(
In conclusion, If you're a true lover of BL then i have no doubt you will adore this series as much as I do. EarthMix is now one of my favorite ships. My Fridays will now have no meaning.

The dark horse of current BL series

There is no dramas can be as romantic as ATOTS.
Before watching this series, there were only a couple of bl series I’ve watched. Most of them usually have a stereotype kind of setting that 2 young men fall for each other in university. However, ATOTS is innovative.
By watching the series I can feel that the love between the character is really intense through Earth and Mixs’ acting. There was non of any drama could makes me feel that way. While watching the last episode I literally bursted into tears from the start and throughout that whole 1+hour.
Overall, the story is innovative, inspiring, touching. The acting of both main roles and supporting roles are great. The music is cohesive and never tired to hear. Would definitely rewatch it over and over again.
This masterpiece is so underrated. Highly recommend this to every one!

You'll fall in love with this

Actually, I knew this was going to be an awesome and warm TV show the moment I watched the trailer. But who would have thought it would exceed my already high expectations? If you’re pondering whether to watch ATOTS, no need to ponder anymore - just start watching. I promise you won’t regret! :)
I don’t know what to start praising more - magnificent acting and the chemistry between the two main characters? The beautiful scenery where this story was placed? The story that really grabbed my heart from the very start and didn’t let go till the very end? Or the extraordinary OST that perfectly completes this unforgettable work?
I cried, I laughed and it made me feel emotions not many shows can make me feel. It brought such a warm feeling that I won’t ever forget. Definitely going to give A Tale of Thousand Stars a re-watch :)
Hoping and impatiently waiting for season 2! :)

The place that fits you, will let you grow

I remember waiting for years, for this drama to air. I still remember, a lot of censorship issues happened in Thailand for it. I was praying for years for it not be cancelled, and finally it aired this year. From episode one to episode 10, it's so freaking beautiful. My favorite scene is the kite flying scene. It was soooo freaking beautiful, that I almost teared up. haha.

Also the location of this drama is so magical. I don't know how to describe it, everything is just tooo beautiful. The ending is so good. My favorite line - "The place that fits you, will let you grow"
