Hmm. Will watch because of Taecyeon but don't have high expectations since I don't usually care for Japanese series.…
tbh i like watching them. japanese series are short, straight to point, and no matter what budget, will have always the best cinematography. they make for a super easy watch always.
He acts very well, whether it's a happy role or a sad, reflective one. I really appreciate that when he does BL,…
such talent in this industry is sadly rare. it's even sadder when you remember how the toxic fandom prevented ohm to shine in the bl industry. honestly even gmmtv did him extremely dirty. if he was still doing a bl after such a huge success of bad buddy and the ohmnanon, they shouldve gone all out picking a great script with a great production for such a popular actor.
i definitely have to rewatch this one day. when this was originally airing, i felt underwhelmed with the ending.
but now that i think about it, even after all these years, this bl stands out so much because both the lead actors are insanely talented actors and i don't think anyone in the genre has ever been able to match their performance since this. despite such a simple (and slightly generic) plot, theres so many scenes in this show where both ohm and nanon managed to show their acting range in an insane way. thats what made this show special to me.
recent popular bls like khemjira and so on are great but aside from the supporting cast, the acting tends to be pretty... stiff.
i think it’s great gagaoolala decided to not air this after the backlash. i think it makes a very clear message that bromances can not replace queer stories.
anyways, moving onto soul mate (2026)’s page now and joining in to that show’s discourse now.
Can someone please explain why is this queerbaiting, because that as far as I know means series that suggest a…
because gmmtv put this show on gagaoolala, a platform for queer stories only when there’s nothing queer about this show. anyways, with enough criticism gagaoolala has decided to remove this show from their platform
gagaoolala adding this show and adding the gay and bl tags to it and some will still swear the way this bromance show is marketed is not exploiting queer spaces that were built brick by brick.
GMM invests in their most popular pairs/duos/couples, call it however you want. Wait till you see the production…
i get what you mean. but just compare me and thee to this and tell me it has the same amount of effort into cinematography, color grading, sound mixing, posters and so on. me and thee looks great but it is nowhere the same quality as this, any high budget het drama gmmtv has done like the scarlet heart remake, or any high quality bl productions we're getting from other production companies even in same genres.
as for ticket to heaven, i sure do hope it gets a good production quality because geminifourth blew up a whole 3 years ago but they still haven’t been given a project where the budget and overall production scale actually match their popularity.
meanwhile the actors in this one barely just became popular a year ago and theyre already receiving such a high production show. the problem is clearly there. gmmtv is not willing to throw money, faith or love into a bl series the way they immediately do for any het show even when the returns are same or worse.
again i have no hate towards any actors. it’s just hard not to notice the difference in how resources are allocated.
the trailer for this was nice. definitely wish it was a bl. I‘ve been saying how weird it is for gmmtv to always invest so much money into shows they think will be safe for the audience yet never this much investment ever for a bl even though bls earn them so much money. so i will say im not that upset over “gmmtv bromance” trending on twitter. it just feels like disrespect to bl fans when they bring in the same engagement but get a much lower quality product.
that said, I won’t have any foul feelings towards this show because of that. ive accepted that gmmtv wants to work this way and the only way we can get extremely high quality bls is from other production companies like domundi, beoncloud, looke, etc
i really like the show thus far. it's nothing special obviously but i think it makes for a great light watch.
i'm a bit puzzled by the responses here though. if someone dislikes the show after investing time into it, i think they should be able to express why they dislike the show as long as they don't attack others for enjoying the show. i remember not liking my school president at all when it was airing and everyone was hyping over it and people back then didnt attack me for why i disliked that show.
How does Domundi always have the most handsome actors hehe ♥
they go for looks first rather than acting which clearly works in their favor as their series always manage to become successful because the actors are good looking. we're lucky that keng has decent acting skills alongside his looks.
havent found time to watch this but my biggest shock by far is that this is the first bl series to be considered a mainstream hit in thailand.
i had no clue that thai bls were THAT niche in thailand despite their international popularity. i did some further research and found out how poorly some very popular bls performed in thailand. def color me shocked.
did this show get screwed over because of scarlet heart? i don't quite follow or can understand gmmtvs 30 shows schedule anymore. this was the only show from the 2025 lineup that was promising to me and it just seems they really downscaled and sidelined this show to make way for that show instead. waiting for that one day they'll put all their faith and budget into a bl as they do for a popular remake of some show.
lowkey glad that dmd is airing duang with you before this. i feel like after khemijra whatever show they'd air would get lukewarm responses bc the show before it was just such a huge phenomena and they'd unfairly compare it. i want net to finally get the attention he deserves so i see the delay to q1 2026 as a win.
they definitely could do better plot wise but the comedy scenes made it all worth it to watch it till the very end.
i find the implication that woradet changing the past causing prince to possibly no longer existing or being famous in the future really cool and crazy. i'd personally love seeing a post credits scene to show a changed future where someone like prince would be a superstar but would have no hate comments based on their apprearance and gender.
