Star and Sky: Star in My Mind, a 2022 Thai BL series. It shares the same universe with Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart. It is a youth series with a simple narrative. It has a similar structure and cliché elements to the youth romance productions set in a university campus that you have watched before. Despite this, if you are a viewer who has just started the BL genre and wants to watch past series, this BL is just for you. Just go ahead and watch it.
If I were to make a micro definition for the series: The BL story tells about repressed feelings at a young age re-emerging over time. Daonuea and Khabkhluen, whose paths separated after a confession in high school, meet again in university. Thus, old notebooks are reopened. This time, they clearly face the feelings they previously ran away from. If you liked this theme, you can continue with the series.
I also wanted to share other BL series where you can see the “JoongDunk” duo. Other series where you will watch the chemistry and harmony of the beloved duo: Hidden Agenda (2023) – The Heart Killers (2024) – Dare You to Death (2025-2026).

Star and Sky: Star in My Mind (2022) Plot and Synopsis
Daonuea, who is secretly in love with Khabkhluen, a popular student on the high school team, bravely confesses his love but gets no response. Right at that time, he moves to Germany. Time passes, Daonuea returns to Thailand to start university, and by chance, he meets Khabkhluen again on the school’s orientation day. Moreover, they are in the same friend group. Things really start to get complicated.
Over time, they settle into the same student dormitory and start staying together in a four-person room. Daonuea still hasn’t been able to forget Khabkhluen. But this time, Khabkhluen also has something inside him that he cannot resolve. With bickering, little jealousies, and mutual stubbornness, the distance between them gradually decreases. Will Khabkhluen be able to confess his feelings? Or will Daonuea experience the same disappointment for the second time?
Now both of them are different from the past; Daonuea is a young man trying to stand on his own two feet, while Kluen is not ready to face his repressed feelings. The relationship between them starts with a cold distance, but over time, old feelings begin to surface. There is still a longing in Kluen’s eyes that he cannot say. Daonuea, on the one hand, fights with the feelings sprouting again in his heart, and on the other hand, tries to protect his pride.
You will watch how the time they spend together slowly breaks the silence of the past. The wall created by the memory of rejection in the past will not be torn down easily. Finally, Kluen completes his unfinished confession from the past. The duo continues their unfinished relationship years later, braver and more determined.
You should be able to read the themes of confronting the past, forgiving, and being able to love again in the series. I think the most important themes of the series are: 1: confronting the past. 2: forgiving. 3. being able to love again. You should catch these points.
Even though the series doesn’t have a very complex and deep plot, the warmth and chemistry of the duo will allow you to watch the series easily. I must also say that I found the couple’s emotional transformation stages quite simple and effective.

Cast and Characters
Daonuea is a character who learns to live with his feelings instead of repressing them; his fragile but determined nature makes him the emotional center of the series. Kluen, on the other hand, is a young man who tries to look strong by repressing his feelings but is full of turmoil in his inner world. The balance between them is established on the fine line between one’s courage to open his heart and the other’s effort to overcome his silence. For this reason, the dynamic of the duo is not just a love story; it is also built on miscommunication, time, and emotional maturation. The series is not just a “sweet” love story.
