Hometown's Embrace (2021)

Thai BL series. The setting is very similar! a village in Isaan region (Northeast Thailand) it's about a guy coming from the city to a village (in Hometown's embrace he's actually coming BACK) and finding love there. The OST is very alike also.

Ep 2 has the feel of 1000 stars feel, plot changes a little. In Hometown's Embrace a teacher from Bangkok came to Isaan to teach, with low pay who will want, however in ATOTS, it was Tian trying to fulfil the wishes of dead Torfun whom donated her heart to Tian, and encountered Phupha along the way. In Hometown's Embrace, we see Mek falls in love with the director's son. However there seems to have a love rival challenging their love.

Similar country background where love blossoms. The soundtrack to this show has very traditional Thai feeling to it. To be honest hometown's embrace, tale of a thousand stars and, sky in your heart can be shelved into one file. Similar feel
