My guess would be that they studio either didn't get enough attention or didn't think they'd get enough attention with a simple casting call. After all, there are soooo many BLs getting announced and casted rn from new and established studios. So they probably hired Brasier and Folk specifically for the pilot trailer so that this drama can stand out against all the other open casting calls in the genre.
So I wouldn't really say that Brasier and Folk left the project (as someone else said above), but rather they were probably only signed on for the pilot at this point in time.
Several other studios have done similar, but where they never show the actors' faces.
(An additional note: Pilot trailers, especially from Thailand, do not represent the final product. They are filmed before the actual drama has been filmed, before they have all their funding, and often before the script is even finished. Sometimes, even before the full cast is finalized. "Pilot Trailers" are not "Trailers." They are to help build hype and test interest amongst fans and sponsors. Sometimes, there will be whole scenes and plotlines in a pilot trailer that aren't even shown in the final drama release.)
why does this have 8 rating when it only has one episode out?
You can either rate in your watchlist update as you go along, rate in episode reviews, or rate when you finish. For people who care about ratings, it can be a great way of gauging how the series is going/being received - especially if you're waiting to start for any reason.
The film itself doesn't use labels, despite being explicitly stated to be about teenagers of diverse sexualities. That's because the director wanted to focus on Questioning (Q) teens and the freedom of fluctuation when discovering yourself. In fact, the first draft of the story was titled "Q."
Immersed in a pool of talented cast and crew, “A Muse Never Drowns ” embarked on its journey in the summer of 2019 but faced a temporary hiatus due to the pandemic, and ultimately emerged as a finished piece in 2021. The culmination of 2 years of effort allowed us to capture on camera not only the evolution of the characters’ hearts but also the evolving world around us. In this film, characters with diverse sexualities open up about their individual feelings and learn to acknowledge each other. At its core lies the notion that “each person’s sexuality is not easily confined to rigid boundaries but rather flows through a gradient”. The characters layer lines and colours to create paintings and the object of a ship, engaging in a cycle of destruction and creation, as they strive to face themselves, others, and the world. Through the act of creation, hearts find liberation, sparking a surge of unfettered imagination. To express the joy of sharing this with others, we took on the challenge by intertwining sound effects with musical expression and leaping through spatial dimensions with visual representation. Keep an eye out for the captivating aspects of both the paintings and objects crafted within the film itself.
