Only Friends: Dream On (2026) – EP.1
GMMTV really knows how to launch a series with impact.
Episode 1 immediately pulls you in with strong emotional tension between Jack and Dean. Their breakup isn’t clean — you can feel the long, unresolved tail of feelings still dragging behind them.
Jack, a fourth-year theater student, is chosen again to direct the freshman stage production. This year, he wants something different. Something that breaks expectations.
So instead of Romeo and Juliet, we get Romeo and Romeo — and with a happy ending.
Bold? Yes.
Complicated? Absolutely.
The real question isn’t just about casting.
Will Jack work with Dean again? Or will he move forward and choose someone new?
Earth & Mix are magnetic as always. The camera naturally gravitates toward them. Even in quiet scenes, there’s tension simmering underneath.
And the supporting cast is stacked — Aou & Boom, Jos & Gawin (my personal highlight), plus First & Khaotung appearing as seniors.
It’s only the first episode, but the emotional heat is already there.
Highly promising start.
