The 2020 GMMTV Thai series ‘2Gether’ starring Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn, and Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree was about two college kids fake-dating so that one of them can keep an obsessive crush at bay, although they fall for each other for real. It wasn’t even the first romance around ‘fake dating’ and certainly nowhere near the last, but one of the earlier gay romances with such a plot. Now, the 2025 series ‘Your Sky’ has the same plot, except that it’s way slower, dumber, and boring.

Directed by Kla Nathawat Piyanonpong (‘Naughty Babe’/‘To Be Continued’), Your Sky is adapted from a novel of the same name and stars Kong Kongpob Jirojmontri as the lead protagonist, Teerak, a baby-faced first-year college student who begins fake-dating his senior, Muenfah (Thomas Teetut Chungmanirat), to escape the relentless advances of his wealthy, overly persistent senior, Oh Atthiphong Wongnithi (Mike Chinnarat Siriphongchawalit), who just won’t take no for an answer. Oh, and Muenfah also happens to be the older brother of Teerak’s best-friend, so the two of them have a hard time convincing everybody that they really are in love. But as they spend more time on fake dates, they fall in love for real. Obviously.

Spanning a snooze-y 12 episodes, half the series revolves around Teerak and Muenfah learning how to act like a couple – meant to be funny but mostly just painfully annoying. Take, for instance, a scene where they decide to practice holding hands, only to awkwardly place them on the table like they’re about to arm-wrestle. Some of the funnier moments in the show are generated by Teerak’s protective elder sister Babe, who is ready to slay anybody who hurts her brother. Although it’s strange how she never has a face-off with Oh Atthiphong Wongnithi, who is constantly harassing her baby brother.

The creators treat Teerak like a 12-year-old boy figuring out how to interact with other humans. If this were a high school drama, it might have been cute, but in Your Sky, it’s just dull and unfunny. Thomas Teetut Chungmanirat is very good-looking as Muenfah, but the script is so lack-luster, that I really couldn’t make out if his range as an actor is limited, or it’s just the uninspiring direction.

Meanwhile, Oh Atthiphong Wongnithi is a caricature of a villain – the stereotypical rich college senior who, in the very first episode, tries to get poor Teerak drunk at his birthday party to take advantage of him. Of course, Muenfah just happens to be there and swoops in to save his best friend’s younger brother from Oh’s predatory clutches. Yeah, Your Sky is as cliched as romantic cliches can get.

So if you’re looking for a harebrained romance with cute-ish college students, maybe give this series a chance.

Your Sky is available on iQIYI.
