Just the first ten chapter.

Ikr, Perth's greatest strength as an actor is in the details on his face as he expresses the emotion of his characters, like he has so many expressions for every emotion. So imo casting him as a character with barely any expression is a waste of his talent, which is why I was kinda disappointed when I first found out he would be Yotha. Like I knew he would do great, but I wanted to see all kind of expressions he could make. Therefore I'm sooo happy he got this role as Pobmek, like even in that short trailer he already showed so many different expressions. I bet it's more than the ones he'll show as Yotha in the whole series lol. Nothing against Yotha and I still adore him but it's just my desire talking 🙈 Santa too, he's already better than many BL actors with more series under their belt. I hope I can see more of his faces, he has such a huge potential that needs to be honed by trying out many different characters. Since this series is directed by PPS' director, I think there's more to Solar than what is showed in the trailer. I know I shouldn't but I'm having high hopes for this series. Manifesting the best for Perth Santa! ❤️

I'm first 🙋 So happy to see Perth as softie character again since Chopper (which is my favorite among the characters he played so far). I love how he can show all kind of different faces as characters like this. Santa is great too. He's a great actor with a lot of potential, I came to like him when I watched My Only 12%. The character in this one seems quite similar to Gun, and I'm excited to see how he'll make them different. I just hope he won't get typecasted in GMM. I really love the trailer and the concept so far, it's so cute with layers of melancholy under the bright surface, which is so my type. I can already smell a sad backstory even though I don't know what it is yet. Can't wait for the series to air!

Ikr, GMM really said they're tired of people complaining about high schooler, college student, basically all kind of cliche tropes and went on to create all kind of unique tropes lol. Like, that's exactly what all of GMMTV25 plots are, they're interesting and unique! Like none of the trailers made me disinterested, which is a first. Let's just hope it'll all be executed well too, since many of their seemingly interesting series at first ended up disappointing. So excited for PerthSanta new series too, I really like the premise it's just my type ❤️

You can just watch every 8 episodes if you want, since the main couple will change at that time so it'll be like another story starts anew.

Yeah, like a mature version of Only Boo lol

It's more like 3 different series in the same universe. Like if UWMA an BU were aired back to back but with three series and less eps each.

Not only for FB but I wish GMM will make more non-comedic slice of life drama with real life problem like Moonlight Chicken and Last Twilight. I have nothing against comedy but GMM makes way too much of it.

Now that I think about it this is the second GMMTV series New directed that a couple has to switch one of the actor suddenly, back to back even lol. If there's a third time, he'd be a legend 😂😂

For me it's the too much prolonged flirting and sexual tension which filled up almost the whole episode so it kinda fell flat. Compared to Jojo's previous work which is as bold as this, first ep of Only Friends also had a lot of them, but it was mixed with a lot of other different vibes and emotions, which hooked me right off the bat. I hope it won't be just them flirting again next ep and I can get more of their personal stories so I can empathize with them more.

I myself don't really have problem with it but if you do then you should blame the directing I think. In the bts when they rehearsed the introduction scene I think Santa did great and looked rather natural but New told him to "be more cheerful". That's probably not the only scene he wanted Santa to exaggerate his acting. But then again part of the blame is also in the character, I guess, because his character (Gun) is also like that. You probably feel more connected with Wine and Yotha because you prefer natural acting and they're both calm characters, the opposite of Gun.

I'm rather glad it's not another En of Love lol.

It'a not about how logical it is, it's just about how we feel about it. And there's nothing wrong with feeling differently about one thing as long as we don't force it on others or think that we're the only right one, and also voice our opinion respectfully, since everyone has a preference.

Well, each to their own then.

But View barely showed up in Hemp Rope (Between Us novel) and his character was just a naughty kid with barely any details and he made Santa acted the same as he did Gun. Can wasn't written by her too, so was Team. So probably the problem is Thai BL authors who kept on creating stereotypical characters? 😂😂

Do you know who directed every single series Earth has ever starred in? Yeah, New. And since Santa has only ever act with him he probably took him as a reference for what New wanted. Like, even Satang became like that too in We Are when he was completely different in MSP.

Unfortunately it's just really New's style, just look at Satang in We Are and Plan in LBC. Even Prem was often like that in UWMA and BU. New is just too stuck in his determined stereotypes, not only for characters but also scenes, like how a kiss scene and other intimate acts have to be done for example. He just has no variety in his way of directing since LBC.

OP probably wanted to see their first kiss in their own story so they could feel the build up and appreciate the kiss even more, because I'm the same too 😂😂 I mean the kiss scene is great but it'd be even more precious if it didn't happen just like that out of nowhere.

Well, because the only way to solve it is being positive about it. When you already feel negative about something, you won't be able to enjoy it no matter what. The only solution if you want to watch it is choosing the way you want to watch it, there's no way around it.

So you asked why they choose to do this in the first place. My answer is it's not the first time they're doing this, and the result isn't bad, so that's probably why. And also New seems to like adapting multiple novels into series, so he might be the one who proposed it to GMM. Those two reasons are already mentioned in my comment before this, but maybe I didn't elaborate enough, my mistake. Another reason I just think of is having them put into one series has less risk than separating them into different series. There bound to be problem when creating the continuation. Look at series that are made/intended to be multiple season series, like My Engineer, Love Sick, LBC, and 2moons, none of them end well. New managed to make Between Us, but it was delayed for years. So yeah, this approach is better.

Also, to answer your 4th problem, you don't need to worry since most of the actors have another series lined up after this. Force and Perth have Scarlet Heart, Santa has that vampire one, so does Fluke Gawin, Emi has a GL she will be leading, and the others probably has one too but I forgot. So no, they won't get stuck with this series the whole time it's airing.

It's not the first time in Thai BL though. This is kinda the longer version of En of Love, which made YinWar rise in fame, and Star & Sky, which was JoongDunk's first series together. Both are New's, so I guess he likes to make series like this. And for me it's not really negative, as long as it's well made (now this is my concern since I have no trust in New lol). I actually prefer this approach to squeezing multiple novels into the same timeline like Oxygen and My Engineer, at least each couple get a fair amount of screentime and focus. Just treat it as three separate series in the same universe, like UWMA and Between Us but better because it's shorter and we don't have to wait long for the spin-off 😂
