Astrophile (2022)

Absolutely Captivating!

The casting is top notch both visually and acting talent wise with the leads Bright Vachirawit and Mai Davikah as Kimhan and Nubdao who instantly captures attention both individually and as a pair with excellent chemistry along with a very strong supporting cast as well. I really enjoy how both characters have their own goals, struggles, and growth that the show begins exploring from the get go and how their paths align. The pacing is really good and always leaves me looking forward to the next episode. The ost perfectly accompanies the mood of the scene in every iteration of it's arrangement. Overall, Astrophile is a must watch!

Stars that brighten up the mentally blocked sky...

This is such a sweet romance drama. packed with insecurities, fear and people who use different strategies to seem all together when they obviously are not... As 20 shades of mental instability/illness are portrayed in this drama. To keep this drama from becoming too dark and deep these issues are rather sampled than explored in depth... And Bright/Stars/sales are all there to brighten up the sky (mood). With beautiful smiles, some pretty badd ass moves fluffy cats and beautiful product placed things.

What I loved about this drama was how easy it was to binge, as well as the characters and acting. No one was overly annoying, do not get me wrong there where times where I felt bad for people and wanted to yell at the screen come on... and for ff.... But the evil where truly evil done... well evil. The ill where ill and sent to the hospital/taken care of, the mentally scarred admitted to their scarred and those in between did their job and then quietly disappear without too much commotion or annoyance.

Since I have seen many of the actors here play homosexual characters I will admit that It did feel a bit odd to see some of the them play heterosexual characters, but with time I got over it and noticed that they where just as good or mediocre here as in any other drama I have seem them in. I also really liked the female lead (not all her characters choices) as she does have that extra spark that just makes you fall for her. And Bright,,, Well he lived up to his name brightening up the screen... And nothing was really off with Off either...

So to sum it up, highly bindable, sweet romance that scratches the surface regarding a palette of mental issues. If you are looking for depth or accurate depictions of mental illness then move on and look somewhere else, But if you are looking for some good friendships, some fighting spirit, a bunch of drama and romance this is not a bad place to look for it.
