Dao was unable to get any of the signs from Kluen, when they were so obvious that everyone else knew. And he’s paired with a love interest that’s not good with expressing his feelings. And that’s such a shame, because the friends showed enough charisma to help Star in My Mind.ĭao is the worst type of protagonist, the type that’s dumb, really dumb. So, if you don’t like Dao, like me by the end, there’s nothing left to like. No character has motivations, a plot, interactions or even scenes if Dao is not a part, or is the topic. There are no side characters, nobody has a story or plot outside of things that directly affect Dao. Unlike almost every single BL in existence, this show is exclusively about Dao and Kluen, and every aspect revolves around Dao. The story of Dao, the not so bright star The biggest problem with Star in My Mind is the fact that it only has two real characters, and the entire plot is driven by one of them. It had a decent start with the first two or three episodes, and went DOWNHILL from there. The acting was… mediocre? I was fine with most scenes, but the cast failed me with anything involving deeper emotions. What it felt like - they obviously did not have enough plot for 8 episodes, so they had to invent some random issues that had no place to exist and be part of the show, that’s how ridiculous they were. I think my biggest issue was how they built the conflict, or rather dropped it out of nowhere. Some had some random not well executed last minute stories presented, but who cares? Not me. I don’t care enough about the side characters to write about them. While it was fun to watch his silent moody demeanor at first, as the drama progressed I simply got tired with it, since the guy had like -10000 initiation levels. The “progression” of his feelings? Ain’t buying it.

This level of lack of communication, but also ONLY when it involves Daonuea? Ain’t buying it. Then we have Khabkhluen… I don’t even know where to start. It’s not like he was truly an awful character, he had his moments and overall I enjoy his interaction, sadly only with people that had no romantic links to him.

He claimed to care for people and their feelings while also acting like a coward leading people for whom he obviously has no feelings. Somehow have like 3 guys after him, go figure. So how come it was either boring or infuriating? The good aspects were toned down, while they exaggerated the awful miscommunication trope to some ridiculous levels.ĭaonuea? Cute, chill, awkward. It should be all cute fluff, pure entertainment, feel-good watch. Technically it’s the same old story - two cute guys pinning for each other because they suck at communicating their feelings.

Rewatch Value 4.0 One could say it’s your typical Thai BL, but that would be insulting to all the mediocre Thai BLs.
