Yea, thats been my leading theory since the beginning. But there are definitely a few others (see my other comment on this thread). While plastic surgery is pretty common and relatively affordable in Asia, gender reassignment surgeries are not (at least outside of Thailand and a few other places). And this topic was especially tricky in Taiwan for a while (https://www.feministcurrent.com/2021/10/14/gender-identity-legislation-is-being-pushed-through-in-taiwan-will-women-get-a-say/ ). So its definitely a reason for them to move.

But at the same time, the flashbacks with Wen-Wen dont show Wen-Wen being uncomfortable or uneasy with Yu He constantly shoving the fact that Wen-Wen is a girl in Ah Le's face. And they moved shortly after these flashbacks. So while I can definitely see Amber getting the surgery/ies while abroad - I'm not so sure about him and his family leaving for that reason.

I dont think it's reincarnation (not enough time has passed), but there are several ways that he could be Wen-Wen:

Trans or intersex? (this is the one i'm leaning towards the most).
The twin brother of Wen-Wen who crossdressed and got mistaken for Wen-Wen?
Raised as a girl due to superstition (like in Bromance)?
The result of some experiment that is also the reason why he's scared of confined spaces? (this one is less likely and keeps becoming even less likely as the series goes on bc there's no build-up; but a few of us came up with it back at the start because of the title and intro imagery).

Then its channel 3 on television. Bc the author's posts on social all say that it plays on Channel 3 an hour later. So Channel 3 is involved, just probably not with streaming.

Everything on MDL is fan-contributed. Its possible that someone based it off of limited information and guessed the rest.

GagaOOlala (one of the official platforms) says there is a total of 12 episodes.

Yes. Thats why they said replay would be on channel 3. But i dont know if that means channel 3 tv channel, a channel 3 app that i dont know about, or the youtube channel (with this show geoblocked by region).

It released on AISPLAY, with replay on Channel 3. So i hoped it would go up on Channel 3's YT, but it didn't. So either thats not the case, or its up there but geoblocked.

I like previews because they get my writer's brain thinking and hypothesizing. There's really not a lot here to theorize between episodes in the show except for in what way is Amber Wen-Wen or related to Wen-Wen.

Like is Amber trans or intersex? The twin brother of Wen-Wen who crossdressed and got mistaken for Wen-Wen? Raised as a girl due to superstition (like in Bromance)? The result of some experiment that is also the reason why he's scared of confined spaces (which seems less and less likely as the series goes on bc there's no build-up; but i built it from the title and intro imagery)?

But thats the only thing that has enough uncertainty that i can hypothesize and theorize on between episodes, and thus keeping me immersed all week. I feel like a preview would help, but Gagaoolala doesnt tend to do previews - and if they do its on their socials several days after the episode airs.

I definitely agree. As much as I'm enjoying this show, the emotional hold/appeal is not enough to be sustained throughout a week. Even more so without an episode preview to make you guess about what happens next and in what context.

GagaOOLala is also the other official platform.

I really like it. The actors really feel in touch with the characters, and we have 2 different relationship dynamics building at the same time (as opposed to the lead and second lead couples feeling like repeats of each other). This could very well become a favorite of mine.

I was wondering why Matt Lee looked familiar! He's has a support role in DNA I Love You.

MDL is fan-generated. Someone either put something to put something, or used erroneous or outdated information. You can always go in and fix (if youre on the website version).

Lol, i find it hilarious how we all think he looks like somebody different based on what series we saw him in first, and what features we are focusing on. Like personally, there's something about his gaze and facial expressions in Whats Zabb Man that reminds me of P'Cooper from My Engineer.

On YouTube you can find what appears to be the whole thing under a playlist called Eldest Princess Above

You can search the title Eldest Princess Above

No one that i can find has his same family name - which is a pretty solid way in Thai culture to determine relation. I didnt see the comment you are referring to, but its possible that he said in an interview about someone being a brother/close brother/ etc. aka. P'. Which is just a term of respect for someone older than you that often gets translated into brother/sister. So as of right now, im gonna err on saying that no thats not true. But i dont mind being proven wrong if someone can support the claim.

So you're into a completely different tone than this. There's a few on the horizon that look like they might be promising to you (Big Dragon; Unforgotten Night ). But there are some currently completed ones that might match what you are looking for.


Let's see:
- The Leaked (a 2020 webdrama - thriller, sex-related, social commentary drama with Nanon from Bad Buddy; not BL - i think this might be up your alley, its just not queer)
- 3 Will Be Free (poly action BL with bi and gay main characters)
- Sakristan (a phillipines coming out story - not dark, but definitely more serious in tone)
- He She It
- Manner of Death (thriller, mystery, BL)
- Color Rush
- The Gifted
- Club Friday The Series 12: Rak Sap Son (more of a soap opera than a drama, but has a bit of a darker element than most and queer main characters).
- Remember 15 (not a BL, but has queer characters; much darker than most shows, but might be on the slasher/splatter side - i havent seen it so I cant say for sure)
- The Fallen Leaf (2019 thai trans story)
- Word of Honor (Chinese fantasy censored BL - but still really obvious).
- Long Khong (supernatural thriller, not BL, but there is a kiss scene that makes BounPrem fans very happy).
- Cheat (a supernatural thriller BL series from the Phillipines).
- Friend Zone (BL series w multiple seasons. Mature themes).

Ah, i didnt even think about looking at his past work, but now that you mention it there are some stylistic similarities between all of them. But i still saw enough potential in Friend Forever and Cause Youre My Boy to finish them and view them somewhat favorably. This is one of the few that ive had to drop.

Like En of Love (or the HIStory series - especially the early ones which weren't identified with numbers), Star and Sky has 2 connected but independent parts. Each is its own series under a larger connected storyworld referred to by the label Star and Sky.
