Actually One31 is just a channel. Sometimes they outsourced their TV slots (especially late night/non prime time slots) to series produced by other companies like Kinnporsche or 4Minutes (produced by BOC) or I Feel You Linger In The Air (produced by DeeHupHouse), or Petrichor (produced by TV Thunder and iqiyi). BLs that are exclusively produced for and by One31 are To Sir With Love, Love In Translation, Laws of Attraction, Century Of Love and Spare Me Your Mercy.

Actually it's because they are the most popular channel network right now in Thailand. Usually it's a tight competition between CH3, One31 and CH7. But in this year, One31 seems to be the frontrunner with their dramas because they are willing to take risks with their storytelling in both queer and het works of theirs while CH3 and CH7 are falling back from cliche and cheesy writing. Other TV networks like GMM25 (where GMMTV series air) has never even really be in the competition in terms of ratings because it's a traditionally known as a channel that markets towards teen audience only or other BL/GL series are mostly online only series.

High ratings for SMYM is a really good sign because this was a series that talked about a lot of important social issues. Hopefully the messages of this series has been received well by the mainstream Thai audience.

It's MOD -> SMYM -> Triage. You can look at this infographic chart to understand the timeline https://x.com/durkhheim/status/1729478641636258156

I really enjoyed reading your long thoughts on euthanasia. I don't think it's a popular line of thinking among the comments section here but it was really insightful to read your thoughts against it. Thank you for sharing them.

Sammon didn't work on the series at all though. It was purely Lux's writing. I thought the series gave more depth into Euthanasia than the books did

you can look in the top of the discussion tab, i posted it there 🥰

As promised, sharing the link to the Book 2 because everyone deserves to read that epilogue and find out what happens to Kan after he finishes his prison time

if you ask about gmmtv bl series, they have terribly low ratings so gmmtv stopped publishing them since middle of last year. their bl series mostly averaged from 0.1-0.5

this post compiles some of the ratings for one31 dramas, currently the record holder is to sir with love whose final average is 1.88 (spare me your mercy average rating is 1.9 so im assuming the finale will definitely raise the average rating since last ep tends to get higher viewership). you can check naja_drama on instagram for direct source of nielsen ratings. https://www.tumblr.com/clairedaring/768472023807688704/spare-me-your-mercy-ep-1-debuts-at-22-a-record?source=share

it's gonna be the highest average rating bl of all time in thai television history once they release the rating for the final ep tomorrow

hydrangea being a recurring symbol for forgiveness is the most ingenious use of flowers

if you come across the interview again, please link me i'd love to read that

Why does the OST play so loudly for every romantic scenes? Is the singer of the OST a popular idol or something? Please tell me they lower the volume for the OST eventually for future episodes (I'm at EP 5)

I finally got my hands on logoless and Netflix-quality HD footage of Great Men Academy so I uploaded all 8 eps here if anyone watch this series in full HD. There is also an option for English subtitles
