My edits of the crew haven't been accepted so writing down the credits here for those interested

Reset Screenwriters: Director A Natthaphong Wongkaweepairod, Bangpahn Homjan (Walailuck), Kusolin Mekviphat

Works that Walailuck and Kusolin have written together (not exhaustive because MDL credits are unreliable): Pluto, Ploy's Yearbook, Sao Noi Roi Mic, Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul, Kong Puan Kuan Luea Chuea, My Gear and Your Gown

Executive Producer is Nong Arunosha Panupan - CEO of Broadcast Thai Television (the production company that typically makes CH3 lakorns). I feel like I should include this because I feel like BL watchers often underestimate the influence power an executive producer has over the drama especially one that owns/organises/produces it.

Reset has that strong lakorn flavor, most likely comes from the fact that P'Nong envisions it as such but it's also much tighter paced than your average lakorn since there are only 10 EPs (at least from what we've seen from EP1).

this is everything i've ever wanted from a ch3 lakorn. a lakorn in its truest fashion. i feel like many ppl here are gonna be disappointed if they're awaiting an indie vibes 180 degree-like project here bc the credits should say enough abt the kind of series this is. like of course, if you're expecting something groundbreaking, you're probably not gonna find it here but i've been waiting for a series that ticks off all my dream cliche lakorn tropes done right with charming leads so this series feels personally made FOR ME

It is made by Broadcast Thai Television who produces some of the most famous lakorns for CH3 like Love Destiny or Cupids series. I think it should feel like a lakorn because I believe that's the vibes they are going for.

THACCA logo is there because Shine is one of the series won its grant funding (5 million baht) for BL series

Mystery/Drama/Thriller: The Believers, Don't Come Home, Tomorrow + I, Delete, Master Of The House, Dalah Death and the flowers

Drama Comedy: Ready Set Love, Analog Squad, Doctor Climax

It airs officially on Monday June 2. June 1 is because they are holding an early premiere screening at cinema for fans to buy tickets to watch it there with the cast. So for those of us watching online, it's June 2 and every Monday night on iQIYI 😁

Keen is probably the only person with most rational sense in this series. Love that Keen is really quick-witted even though he seems fragile and sensitive. So glad Thun changed his mind because I really didn't want to watch Keen having to announce that press release

Peterpan is an actor with free will. He's not here to serve delusional fixed pairing. He's just being an actor and doing his job. Pan and Noh are still good friends.

Like Annita has a whole tragic background, started from the bottom now she's on top. If this was any other lakorn, they would have totally made her a FL

There are two guys who have feelings for each other and they end up together. But not BL in the conventional sense of a series with two guys being very lovey dovey with each other. There's little romance but it's definitely there. It's more a travel/tourism themed mini series.

i loveeeee bright norraphat as jay but not even kao and her acting skills could save the one dimensional character that is phitcha. i feel like cha's only personality is that she's a rebellious youngest child in an overprotective family and kao has played a few interations of this character archetype in her past lakorns so phitcha feels... underwhelming and for a lack of better word boring even. i don't wanna comment on chemistry bc idk i feel like that's pretty subjective and arbitrary but i do find myself not very emotionally invested/convinced by the leads' romance (i cant even blame this on writing bc jay/phitcha has some damn swoon worthy lines) to the point where i've started rooting for jay/annita even when annita is pretty toxic and controlling =)))))))))))

i wish i could enjoy this but atp im just staying on for the side couple maprang and ker. they better end this series with a brand new thonglor condo or im soooo down rating this

Yessss. Probably some more GDH/Nadao Bangkok series. I'm trying to rack my brain a bit more to really think about other series where social issues are at the forefront

no worries 🥹

PBS you don't need to sell anything. sao y girlies are here for YOU

Am I the only one dying to know more about Typhoon/Thun friendship and the way Typhoon develops his inferior complex? They are just sooooo PuenSingha coded if anyone here has watched Project S: Spike! I hope the next match comes when Thun is absolutely defeated because tell me why does he look so much hotter with scars and bruises on his face

EXCLUSIVE: Thai director Baz Poonpiriya has reunited with Bad Genius producer Vanridee Pongsittisak on Gohan, an upcoming feature about a stray dog that marks the debut project from GDH 559’s new joint venture Bask.

The feelgood drama is about the bond between a dog named Gohan as it moves through life with temporary owners over a decade.

Baz is directing the Thai feature along with two rising directors: Chayanop Boonprakob, whose credits include Friend Zone, SuckSeed and recent release The Red Envelope; and Atta Hemwadee, whose feature debut Not Friends was produced by Baz.
”Gohan is a film about the special bond between humans and animals, one that can sometimes be more loyal and loving than we are to ourselves,” said Baz. “It follows the journey of a stray dog, through good times and bad times, joy and sorrow, hellos and goodbyes, all leading to my personal belief that a dog isn’t just a pet – it’s a reflection of who we are as humans.

Baz, who owns five dogs himself, is in the process of casting the titular role and filming is due to start in Q4 2025.

Bask is a new strategic creative collaboration between Baz and GDH 559, the Thai studio behind box office phenomenon How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, which Miramax is set to remake in the English-language after securing remake rights through Mokster Films.

This is way better than the two parter version in the 2010s. The sex scenes in this felt much more well put together than the ones in the 2010s which feel gratuitous and extraneous. Not sure which one follows the original novel more accurately but 2001 version is definitely the more digestable and logical version
