I came to watch this out of curiosity. I didn't think much of the trailer - probably that its not my type of show. I did not know much about this series - or pay much attention to it.

But I am loving this. And I cant wait for next episode. This show is such a pleasant surprise.
Nut is amazing in this role. Brilliantly funny actually.
I have seen him in other roles and was impressed by his looks. But now I more impressed with his acting talent. He has transformed himself into the character so well that I would not have recognised him.

I dont know if it was a success. Sure it trended but that does not make it successful.
A lot of viewers were bored and not entertained. It got attention but a lot is not positive.

It costs about £ 185 k to make an episode. An average quality bl costs about £30k per episode. (being conservative in estimates and converted Thai Baht to £ pounds )
How much MORE money do you think it would need to earn in order for the series to be successful? Compare this to the revenue earned by an average bl series.

If I was an accountant there - I would have rejected this project. I would rather have invested in producing 7 other bl series for the amount of money that was spent on TNP. A high cost production does not buy it "heart" or even a good script. This was a vanity project and I wonder who gave the go ahead.

I support non GMM creators but they could have spend this money producing better projects.

NN+Z play the same role but in different settings. This setting is a palace.
What is it about a young male adult that dresses up in fancy gold costumes and parades around like a pretty princess chasing a Zcardboard playing stoic knight in shinning armour, that you don't find cringe.

What intellectual capacity were they aiming for?
If i was 6 years old and into fairy tale romances about royalty i may have enjoyed this.

I dont mind being called a hater if that makes you happy. I hate that so much money was wasted to produce this boredom buffet.

I wish i hadn't started this- now i will have to wait every week.

Thank you for pointing that out. Its what i heard from others and accepted without validating or questioning the data.

the arrogance - especially considering the abilities of that scriptwriter

lol - you showed wisdom.

Iol your post about falling asleep a couple of times while viewing resonates.

I wonder if Domundi are aware how much TNP sucked.

I mean i read this show has broken viewing records (I dont know how or why) but do they really believe they produced something good that they should be proud of?

I agree with you that a lot of people love the couple (and will put up with anything) but even some fans of the couple found it boring.

The way they are filming/editing is not only confusing but but its slow. It feels they are more interested in playing around with their "filming effects " to achieve that old school bl vibe - rather than telling the story and making it interesting.
So for me its becoming boring.


There is a book translated for Perkan which was better than watching the series. (on wattpad)

There are I think 5 books in this universe. The series focuses on two main couples.

Sometimes I prefer the way two couples were handled in Love in the Air where half the episodes focusing on one couple , and then they focused on the other uninterrupted.

I like all the actors but am finding it slow. Painfully slow.

Seriously - how did this series break viewership records? It was so boring so I am wondering how people sat through this. I was fortunate enough to be able to skip scenes and watch at 2xspeed

Despite the money spent and reflected in the production - it was lacklustre. So how did it do so well in viewership numbers.
Do people watch anything painted in gold?

TNP set a new standard for boring.

The only fresh thing was the money spent reflected in the production quality. - yes they had nc scenes but they were equally boring. Its impressive that the public viewership was good and that people are willing to sit through anything that is glitters even if its not gold.

lol - but at least we got more of ZNN walking around and saying sweet nothings.

Is this your not so subtle way of signalling that you are a narcistic and obtrusive user - screaming for attention

Its funny how they spent so much but it had no soul.
I have watched more unpolished thai bls but I got get so much joy from them. Its not about the money spent. I also thought cutie pie was better than this one.

lol yes - a lot of us can breathe a sigh of relief. It was like watching a trainwreck - but a boring one.

I agree - have seen Zee act in WhyRU.
One of the reasons i hate this shipping culture - it limits actors scope and performance and growth. Its annoying to see Zee play the same one dimensional character opposite NN all the time
