Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the difference between pilots and trailers is

Pilots is to get interest from audiences and sponsors and is still in the early days of productions.

Trailers are more concrete and what you should expect from the drama but there may still be minor changes

i'm also curious abt this, as when it's from thailand, it seems trailers can be far off from what will actually be shown in the series

Yeah that's basically my understanding.

Pilots don't always go the distance to the actual production and release. It's a test to gauge reactions to see if it has a chance.

Trailers are hyping and promoting an already (or almost) filmed production for release.

So when companies do their line-up for the year are they pilots

What is more powerful, my cheapskate urges or my FY2 urges? Both are quite strong. It will be an interesting battle.

I'm especially looking forward to "Gelboys S2" starting Saturday on iQiyi. S1 already knocked my socks off, but somehow I feel like S2 is going to surpass it and really move into new territory, not just more of the same. And I just learned that it will include PP Krit! (Am I the only one who didn't already know this?)

To add a bit more to Art Girl's helpful explanation:

Line-ups aren't necessarily just for one year, often more like a two-year plan, and usually more for the large established players such as GMMTV, Domundi/Mandee and Change2561.

Yes, these generally include pilots for each newly announced series, but a line-up is the overall plan, while pilots are teasers for individual series, often intended not only to generate viewer interest but even more so (in the Thai system) to attract sponsors and funding.

In the case of small production companies, there's a significantly higher risk that a pilot (typically one-off rather than part of an organised line-up) will never be realised, i.e. that it's more of a fishing expedition to see if they can get funding.

The word "trailer" isn't always clear: While "official trailer" is invariably post-production and shortly before release, one often sees "pilot trailer", which means pilot.

Yes. Its seems that most of the bigger companies manage to get most if not all of their pilots through to the final production product. I think less success for small companies. I bet Mr. P knows much more about this topic than me! 😁

Haha. Good luck!

I remember how much u enjoyed S1!! I couldn't get through it and dropped it early, but I hope S2 is just as good for the fans!

It was cute, but it also dazzled me with how dramatically good it was (writing, construction, acting), how it insightfully captured the mess of teen feelings and behaviours, and with its authentic youthful-urban vibe (although at the cost of making me feel really oooold).

(P.S. I'm not trying to convince you: You're entitled to like or not like whatever you like!)

Smile After Tears - Finished!

I went back after a break and then watched the last ep this morning. It's a heavy theme involving loss with a cute cast. It's not bad or really good. A 7/10 for me, which is to say it's "Just okay." My lowest rating is a 5. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Ending spoiler: If I would have known more details including the ending (bittersweet/open) I wouldn't have watched it. I do my best these days to not go to the drama comment section for info cuz oftentimes it totally puts me off from watching the drama at all.

I think I was able to finish it cuz I genuinely wanted to know what happened to the characters and a tiny part of me hoped for a different ending, meaning a happy one of course. It wasn't really realistic given the way the story was written, but I'm ever an optimist! Also there wasn't an intense constant feeling of melodrama as there is in some series with the same theme, so that made it easier to finish. It actually has a very low-key vibe. Some might say lackluster or dull.

It seems to be the first role for both main leads, who are idol singers. I think they did okay and I would def watch them again if they are in future dramas, along with the third ML, the kind friend. All three are cute and have presence. They just need more experience acting.

I need help, pretty please! πŸ™ 😍

I'm having difficulty finding a title starting with the letter "I" for my prompt of a BL using the first letter of my user name here. It's for this year's BL Watch challenge.

That's if anyone has the time! πŸ˜†

I in general is pretty hard to find drams for

The title that comes to my head right away is Interminable, although I'm not sure if that's something you'd be interested in...
