Fish upon the Sky

Fish upon the Sky is a riotous Thai rom-com that swims against the current of typical BL dramas with its unabashed humor and self-aware charm. The story centers on Pi, a dental student whose crippling insecurity about his looks has kept him in the shadows—until he develops a crush on Muang Nan, the sun-kissed, universally adored senior from Allied Health Sciences. Convinced he has no chance, Pi enlists the help of his loud, over-the-top older brother Duean and a gang of well-meaning (if chaotic) friends to undergo a full makeover. But the path to love takes a sharp detour when Pi meets Mork, a handsome, relentlessly persistent fellow student who seems to see right through Pi's new exterior. What follows is a hilarious and heart-fluttering game of cat and mouse, as Pi tries to navigate his growing feelings, a swarm of invasive online shippers, and his own stubborn refusal to believe anyone could love him for who he really is. Adapted from JittiRain's novel, this series balances laugh-out-loud comedy with surprisingly poignant moments about self-acceptance, the toxicity of online fandom, and the messy reality of first love. Its standout feature is the parallel love story of Duean and the bubbly Meen—a couple so adorably chaotic they often steal the show. While the main romance divides viewers with its push-pull dynamic, the series' unfiltered energy, fourth-wall breaks, and clever use of a narrator make it a uniquely entertaining entry in GMMTV's lineup. Fish upon the Sky is a feel-good, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately endearing celebration of finding confidence—and love—even when you feel like the smallest fish in the sea.
