Fish Upon the Sky (2021)

Watching hidden in plain site.

Is this BL cliche and absolutely goofy/unserious? Well yeah, it's Fish Upon the Sky babes.

But with that being said, the ridiculous and insanely unbelievable antics that go on within this BL don't take away from the heartfelt moments between the two male leads. Moments that have lived in my head rent free years after first watching. Even the cliches come off more as endearing than annoying. For example, Mork revealing to Pi that he has always cared and loved him from afar is something I would roll my eyes to with a small smirk on my lips in any other BL. But Pond portrays the character with such an earnest and captivating charisma that I can't help but smile and giggle to myself while kicking my feet. Even with Phuwin's character, who should be highly unlikeable and irritating to watch. Is found out to be rather sympathetic and relatable. Which makes you want to root for Phuwin to end up with a man who truly cares for him deeply and admires him. The way he deserves to be, even if he's initially against the clearly destined romance. And despite being yet another University BL, Fish Upon the Sky has always been so different and unique, holding a special place in my heart as my favorite BL. Even after watching hundreds of them at this point. And no other has seemed to be able to match it's energy in how animated it's story and characters are, at least not without being so silly to the point of borderline unwatchable. Nor have they been able to capture such a genuine and loving connection like I feel Pond and Phuwin are able to give us every second they're on screen.
Oh and PondPhuwin >>>

veramente carino, peccato per il messaggio di partenza a mio parere sbagliato

Allora…il tutto è molto carino.
Di base la trama è carina e tutta la storia è stata sviluppata bene quindi ne sono soddisfatta.
Purtroppo però ci sono due cose che non mi stanno molto a piacere:
1. l’immagine delle persone “brutte”: hanno dato la solita immagine secondo cui se indossi gli occhiali e l’apparecchio sei automaticamente bruttx e sta cosa non mi piace affatto perchè non ne capisco molto il senso, dico io se hai l’apparecchio è una buona cosa perchè si vede che vuoi curare i tuoi denti e non rimanerli storti facendo una figura più brutta e poi se indossi gli occhiali è sempre una buona cosa perchè è ovvio che se hai problemi di vista tu li debba indossare per non sbattere contro i pali quando cammini; si tratta di avere cura di sé, della propria persona ed è una buona cosa quindi veramente non capisco il perchè di questa immagine.
Alla fine non dò neanche troppo peso a sta cosa perchè non è la prima volta che succede, anzi, quasi in tutte le serie danno questa immagine quando devono far vedere un personaggio “brutto”, messo tra parentesi perchè io stessa ho trovato Pi veramente molto bello anche prima del suo cambiamento;
2. il cambiare per gli altri: su questa cosa sono più arrabbiata perchè sono del tipo “se vuoi cambiare, bene fallo ma per te, non per gli altri” perchè veramente anche se cambi, gli altri avranno sempre da ridire, l’importanza è che tu piaci e stai bene a te e basta.
Da come abbiamo visto c’è una scena in cui vediamo Pi guardarsi nella fotocamera e dire una cosa del tipo “a me piaccio, sono già bello così”, di conseguenza andiamo a capire che il cambiamento l’ha fatto per gli altri, per non essere preso in giro e per essere accettato da Na, il tutto mi rende triste perchè piacersi è qualcosa di veramente bello, anche le persone considerate bellissime si odieranno se non si piacciono, quindi veramente è positivo che tu ti piaccia, allora qui mi viene da dire “perchè cazzo cambi per gli altri, a te piaci ed è quello che conta, non devi pensare agli altri in queste cose”, poi sinceramente in amore si parla di due persone che si amano per quello che sono, se non ti ama perché sei brutto allora è inutile che perdi tempo con quel tipo di persona che non merita nulla (questo non è il caso di Na ma l’ho voluto dire ugualmente per capirci).
Quindi nulla, ho odiato sta cosa in quanto nelle serie si devono mandare dei messaggi positivi e non trovo bello mandare un messaggio del tipo “cambio per colpa degli altri, nonostante io mi piaccia così”.

Vabbè detto ciò la storia mi è piaciuta e ho odiato come Pi non mettesse a posto la testa riguardo i suoi sentimenti, sia Na che Mork gli hanno detto di tutto ma mamma mia che testardo che è Pi.
Che poi non solo ci ha messo anni per capire il suo amore ma poi quando si è deciso si è pure permesso di mettere in mezzo quelle ridicole regole, purtroppo devo pure dire che lo capisco, la gente parla parla, non si sta mai zitta e per quanto tu provi a fregartene, un pò ti fregherà sempre.
Non ho trovato molto bello il fatto che Bam abbia pubblicato quelle foto per cattiveria, capisco che aveva appena fallito in amore ma non aveva ugualmente il diritto di fare ciò a Pi, fortunatamente poi si è pentita.
Riguardo la seconda coppia, li ho amati sin dall’inizio.
Meen è sempre stato molto carino nei confronti di Duen e quest’ultimo anche se ha fatto qualche sbaglio, alla fine si sono sempre capiti.
Infine devo dare un premio d’onore per la kitty gang per ringraziare questi ragazzi dell’avermi fatto schiattare dalle risate, mi hanno sempre fatto morire, li adoro.
In generale ve lo consiglio.

Perfeito ♡

Ent primeiramente os atores...Eu já os seguia no instragram os principais do caso, fiquei feliz em ver eles nesse drama, eu gostei muito, tanto da história, da atuação dos atores, do próprio elenco, do humor, da produção, do romance e afins...Eu realmente gosto do humor tailandês é um humor que eu racho de rir, pode ter pessoas que n goste mas eu gosto muito, enfim cada um tem sua opinião :) Eu realmente amo quando tem esse dinamismo de casais, quando não tem só um casal na série, pois fica algo mais dinâmico ;) A química dos casais foi algo que eu sempre notei e acho q td mundo acaba notando e eu vi que os casais tinham uma química muito boa e esse foi tmb um dos motivos que eu gostei muito. Eu realmente recomendo esse dorama, vale muito a pena ^^

Fish upon the sky

Comecei essa série com uma expectativa alta, mas me decepcionei.
Primeira coisa: Na minha opinião o enredo do casal Mork e Pi seria mais interessante se não fosse tão óbvio que Mork era o amigo secreto que conversava e dava conselhos pelo telefone. Se ficasse uma dúvida sobre a identidade dele, daria um tom de mistério que faria a trama um pouco mais convidativa. No Ep 3, a cena do beijo até agora está me incomodando, pois não consegui entender a lógica do Pi completamente sóbrio se declarar e beijar alguém tendo certeza que era outra pessoa, e essa pessoa (Mork) receber a declaração que não era pra ele e se permitir beijar, sendo ele maduro o suficiente pra entender que isso deixaria Pi frustrado, não fez sentido.
Outra coisa que não gostei na construção do relacionamento entre Pi e Mork, foi o fato de que quando finalmente eles se acertaram, Pi querer continuou tratando mal o Mork, deixando o personagem como um verdadeiro pateta, se submetendo a ser mal-tratado de forma ridícula, com a desculpade não se achar suficiente para ele. Acredito que casos como esses existem, mas pra dar veracidade a esse contexto usassem um ator feio, pois o ator que faz o Pi é lindinho demais.
Um ponto positivo com certeza é o casal secundário. A fofura do Meen (inclusive me apaixonei por ele cantando a música de abertura da série) e a forma como foi construído o relacionamento dele com o Duean foi mais convincente que o casal principal. O Duean mentindo sobre o curso pra não parecer burro, e a comédia que foi o relacionamento entre os dois, com o Duean descobrindo os sentimentos e tentando fugir deles, foi a melhor parte da série.
No mais, boa atuação, ambientação praticamente toda na universidade e na casa do Pi, trilha sonora gostosinha, e o pesonagem Mork entrando para a lista dos maiores gados dos bl’s, e apesar dos furos eu recomendo a série com certeza.

This show is soooo adorable

Getting into this show I thought I wouldn’t like it. But from the first scene I was hook to the story line as well as the characters. Every actor played their part amazingly and made the show very special. The story between Pi and Mork is one of the cutest love stories I have ever seen. This show never failed to make me laugh. But there was also some serious moments that made me cry. Also the story between Duean and Meen is the most wholesome story and they both played their parts to their full potential. I really love every thing about this show and I am looking forward to watching it again.

PONDPHUWIN

I started this drama because I was pestered by my best friend, and did i love it? I absolutely adored it. This was my first Pond Phuwin Drama and I would say, they captured my heart in first episode as purely cute couple as Bookforce, firstkhao did when I saw 'A boss and a babe' and 'The eclipse' respectively.

The plot was good ngl but there could have been better development, I mean a socially awkward guy x popular guy and the awkward guy gets a crush on one other popular guy and it is doomed cause the other guy is just nice to everyone and never particularly interested.

The side story of Deuan and Meen is just so cute, the misunderstanding/deception about Deuan being a dentist student was so funny when they went on a field trip. BTW Neo can be shipped with a literal table lamp, he is so shippable (like mark but since he is not here, ignore)


The relationship are soooo healthyyyyyyyyyy......10/10 for it

Neither one or the other.

Thailand media is definitely leaning towards quantity rather than quality so, as expected, many of their dramas are falling into a copy-paste situation. This one is a clear example of that. Is it good, or is it bad? It depends on the person watching.

~ Story:
Here is the thing: it is not a bad story... if you're someone who's new in the genre and hasn't seen a lot of dramas from it. In my case, however, I found it quite repetitious due to the fact that I've already watched so many dramas with the same tropes to the point I am left unimpressed by what's happening in the story. Like I said: copy-paste situation. Nothing new, nothing unique, nothing special. Just your basic go-to story. But don't get me wrong, please, because I did find it to be one of those series you can sit back and relax with a cup of tea (or glass of wine, in my case) since it's a very simple plot that doesn't require you to pay attention to small details or anything of the sort. It was a nice little drama to spend a lazy weekend at home watching.

~ Cast:
Surprisingly, I don't have a lot of complaints about these actors. Although it was predictable acting, most of them did a decent job. Sometimes I wonder, though: Do they train all these actors in the same school? Because it's crazy how ALL of them (not just in this drama) act in the exact same way. That's what I mean with predictable. It's not bad, but it feels like they are following a book instead of coming up with their own individual acting. Very few actors step out of that box and, unfortunately, none of the actors here did that. Let's talk about some of them.

~ Pi: Decent. To be honest with you, from what I have seen, a lot of Thai actors are not really that good at acting comedy, so Phu was a little rough around the edges during those scenes. However, everything else was quite good. I am Latin American and the "Ugly Betty" story is very dear to my heart, so I now have a fondness towards this actor for acting a role inspired by this iconic and beloved Colombian character. Good chemistry with his partner, too.

~ Mork: A little better. Was I found successful about Pond is that his character was so serious that his comedy scenes were delivered better since it's something unexpected to come from a character that keeps his composure.

~ Duean: I am going to be biased here: I do not like this actor. Not because he is bad at acting, no, he's okay if okay to you means very predictable. But my problem lies in his voice. I absolutely HATE IT. He's one of those people I wish could shut up because his constant yelling is drilling into my ears giving me a headache. I had to endure it for the sake of his partner, but I wanted to skip every single scene he was speaking in.

~ Meen: Probably the most cliched character and ultimately one of my favorites. To be honest, he and Duean were both annoying, but Meen was on the cuter side making him more likeable than his partner.

~ Editing and Pacing:
Excellent. Everything was coherent and well put together. There's nothing really tricky about the plot and that helped the editing feel a lot more smoother and easy to follow.

On a side note: this is the first drama I've seen that doesn't have a beach or planting trees episode! Thank goodness cuz that was getting so tired.

Sis, this show has everything: Makeovers, hidden agendas, cyber bullying, moaning, a bitch you wanna slap, and balloons. I recommend it, specially if you're new in the genre and are looking for something simple and easy to follow.
