A heartwarming story that not only focuses on love romance between two people but also serves all types of love (romantic, friendship, family), it is about finding one's self value in the world, our purpose of living, the search for knowing self-worth, and the quest to be a part of a community that connects you with both people and nature. It is indeed a masterpiece storytelling of Tian's journey on how he found the true meaning of happiness in life.

I can't believe that Mix is a rookie actor, he is so good on portraying his role. Pure talent. I love him! And of course, Earth also gives us another loveable and well build character, he is so good on his acting. Earth even manages to delivered the small details that plays a vital role in the concept of the story. Both of them and the rest of the cast is such a good set of actors, no doubt! Convincing and natural acting without a single cringe moment.

The story is very fresh coming from a Thai BL Drama. It's been a while since the last time I've feel so much connection to a show. Someone pointed out that it should be "A Tale of Thousand Stares" instead of "Stars" hahaha omg yeah, I definitely agree. The couple staring at each other is enough to make your heart scream, all they have to do is to look on each other with their cute and flirtatious eyes, and the world is shaking and massively sends us butterflies. Chief Phupha and Tian chemistry is on that kind of level. Besides, I really love Chief Pha's jealous expression, he's the cutest.

Every episode is wholesome! From beginning till the end, it was obviously well written and executed. It was worth the long wait. Every little details in this drama works, from the acting, dialogues, scenes, plot, everything!

One of my fave scene in the early episode of the series was their sleeping scene, it is so pure and soft. There's no sex involved, just Phupha wanting to know more about Tian and vice versa.

Another memorable episode is when Tian talks about his feeling to his best friend. The use of words is straight to the point yet effective, probably the best way to discuss that love isn't all about gender. Also, I am happy that there are no too much issue about his parents regarding Tian's sexuality.

Most importantly, I am super-duper touched and cried for how the villagers slowly welcome Tian to be part of their community, not just an ordinary teacher but a member of their large family. From this episode, Tian finally able to have a place he considers his home.

Every episode also sustains us real life lessons. The statement presented in the end of each episode is very warm and pleasing to feel. Again, aside from "A Tale of Thousand Stares," this should also be renamed as "A Tale of Thousand Tears." Starting in the episode 8 where Tian told about Torfun's death and her heart, everything next to it was just me and my tears. At once, I hated Phupha for letting Tian took all the blame and has the audacity to be angry on Tian's lie, wherein the first place he's the one started to lied by keeping the information about Torfun's death to everyone aside from his colleague. I can't take seeing baby Tian in pain, he miraculously survives every reckless and unexpected scenario he encounters despite having a heart transplant few months ago, yet he was misunderstood by those he considers as his family. Tian, you deserve all the love in the world but please don't keep me worrying about your health haha.

On the other hand, the antagonist of the show is the man conducting an illegal logging and all sorts of illegal activities he wants to do. I must say that this is also a well tackled realistic issue that often happened at rural places. The bad market monopoly and those who have enough power to do bad things, these matters plays some significant ideals on how things works in real life. Also, Tian's change of career is relatable; always think harder for the careers you must pursue. As much as possible, it must be connected with your own dream and passion with the mindset of being practical in the making too.

Goodbyes are always meant to be happened, sooner or later, but I am so grateful that I've become one of those who finishes this masterpiece drama. I love this show and I'm contented of not having a second season because the ending is good enough. Also because, if season 2 happened, the possibility of ruining the first season may appear. I'm just hoping for another EarthMix project!

OMG. I write too much hahaha. Lastly, the OST and other music in the series is so beautiful, perfect for such a work of art drama.

A Tale of Thousand Stars allow us to understand that finding a place that fits you, must be a help for you to grow and achieve living in happiness.
