RXinw:
Congratulations also to Domundi, Mandee and Aoftion Kittipat. You've done such a good job winning me over with your Gen 3's and Gen 4's, most of all Namping - first with the groundwork during 2024 ("DMD Friendship the Reality" at the start of the year, "It Takes Two" at the end of the year), then delivering with three of my favourite BLs of 2025 ("Your Sky", "Next Prince" and most of all "Khemjira"). Well done! For me, the emergence of Domundi/Mandee into the major league is the big BL story of this year.p43425:
Further on this subject:
I'd been hoping that the long-delayed "Love Upon A Time" would start next Saturday, right after "Khemjira", but it seems it's only at Q22, so I guess it'll be another month or two. That's quite OK if Mandee can continue to deliver quality.
Same for "Duang With You", supposedly now at Q20. It'll be interesting to see what Por and Teetee can deliver in lead roles (aside from Por's good looks and Teetee's mesmerising cuteness).
The title from the Mandee 2025 line-up I'm pining for the most is "Magic Lover", but I think this will probably be among the last to be produced - so presumably sometime in 2026.

By the way, my comment about Domundi's Gen 3's and Gen 4's does not detract from my love of Zee/Nunew, Max/Nat and most of all Tutor/Yim.
P.S. to @Aoftion: You need to make better use of Tutor & Yim! They were the highlight of "Cutie Pie"! They can deliver!

Once again I need to say how happy I am to have so many great BLs this year, with a real variety of stories. Yay! I haven’t had a great year personally—I spent all day yesterday in the emergency room—so BLs have helped so much!
Fyi, I am fine, it was a false alarm. But I had an irregular EKG and a recent face injury so they thought I might be having a heart attack or brain bleed. But after lots of waiting and lots of tests they found nothing wrong. So that’s good. And my wife/spouse is the best support ever. But we came home and slept ten hours because it was a stressful and an exhausting day. After we watched K-pop demon hunters, of course. Lol.
I'm glad you're ok and it was a false alarm.
@Dora: Ditto!
Thank you!
also yes TutorYim please! I actually liked battle of the writers but there were all those airing issues, and now no uncut version available!. I hope they finally get some content worthy of them.
i feel like MaxNat are also cursed with less than stellar content. Two Worlds had potential but didn’t quite deliver, and Sutiny is so cringe I can barely watch it.
in general all of the Domundi couples are great at NC scenes from what we’ve seen so far, so please give them more. I have yet to be disappointed in this regard (except that I can no longer see these scenes from battle of the writers. Grrr.)

Also true. I've never seen Max & Nat deliver in the way that Tutor & Yim nailed it in "Cutie Pie", but with the right script, they could definitely be better.

I also liked it, but then again, I have a penchant for certain cutie-filled trainwrecks, especially where I have pre-existing emotional attachments (e.g. Tutor & Yim), so I'm not sure that means much.
Entertaining new challenge question:
Rank your top three (or four or five) Domundi pairings (your #1, #2, #3, ...)!
Choices:
The three long-standing pairings (ZeeNunew, TutorYim and the oldest pairing MaxNat).
The two pairings from "Friendship the Reality" (KengNamping and ThomasKong), plus TleFirstone (which emerged soon thereafter).
The five pairings from "It Takes Two" (JimmyOhmkrit, NetJJ, PorTeetee, AuauSave, LatteKim).
NetJames and JimmyTommy are former (defunct) pairings, and MarkGems (from "Battle of the Writers") was never a real pairing, but for completeness, we can throw these into the mix.

I've read speculation that Patji and Ryujin are being paired, but I don't know if this is true. They're both very young and still in the development phase.
Other than Poppy and Park, who seem to have permanent supporting roles (which isn't necessarily a bad place to be), this leaves Tommy, James, presumably Mark and the newest Domundi addition Pung Phirunwat as the remaining eligible bachelors.
If anyone wants to speculate (or start wild baseless rumours), feel free!
Bonus question: Identify each of the 31 in the following photo (top right left to right, etc., ending with bottom row left to right). Warning: The picture of Tommy doesn't really look like Tommy.
Rank your top three (or four or five) Domundi pairings (your #1, #2, #3, ...)!
OK, I'll start ...
I really really really like all 11 current pairings in various different ways (although Latte & Kim haven't had any roles yet, so they have yet to prove themselves as actors), but my top three are (drum roll) ..
#1: Keng & Namping
#2: Tutor & Yim
#3: Thomas & Kong

Anyone here who have watched both My Golden Blood and Revamp? Which do you think is better? Thanks!
I think my golden blood was much more interesting and the acting was also better. But if you're a fan of Boun and Prem you may like it better or so others have said (not on here). I didn't really like revamp.

I haven't seen that many Domundi shows, but for now these are my favorite pairings:
1. Keng/Namping
2. Zee/Nunew
3. Thomas/Kong
I'm also really interested in NetJJ and PorTeetee.
