i'm not particularly fond of love triangles but i've never seen one with three women before so we will see :D…
Look, if we get a sapphic main throuple before we get a gay main throuple I will be over the moon. It would definitely set us apart from the path that BL has made. Like we're making our own, instead of following their coattails.

Most people assume it's canceled at this point, especially since Ja left the company and no one has said a thing…
It could be cancelled (since we havent heard anything even though 2 series have been announced and filmed from the same studio recently). But it also might not (it was announced before pre-production had started, and pre-production can take years).
The Ja concern is pretty much a non-issue. Yes, Ja's contract expired. However, his ship partner First has be a freelancer for quite a while now. And both Ja and First are still being managed by the same person. And Mame/MeMindY does not restrict their castings to one agency (unlike some other big name studios). Besides, Leo and Fiat would have been supporting, minor, or even guest characters in this one. The focus of this drama would be Leon and Pob, several years after the events of DSN, after Leo and Fiat would be busy with their own lives.
Now as far as fans having to make up their own ending - that's not necessarily true either. Mame is an author. Most, if not all, of these drama adaptations in the Mame-verse are based (pretty closely) from her books. If LeonPob don't have a book already, they very likely will. And the chances of a fan-translation are likely.
The entertainment and production industry is a lot more complex and multi-variable than a lot of people think. And since everyone is so used to how fast Thailand progresses from filming and airing their BLs, people tend to forget that pre-production (everything before filming) takes a long time.
So don't dismiss this quite yet. There's a lot of demand for it, and Mame surely knows that. I just think that JSY doesnt have a novel yet (as far as Im aware), so she's probably working on writing that or at least plotting it enough to form a script from. She's quite particular about her adaptations - thus why she formed her own drama production company.
Can someone explain me what the green thing on his neck represents
I interpreted it to be a wound from him scratching his neck, which appeared to be a nervous tick in response to him not knowing what to do and repressing his feelings.
I'm hoping that she's waiting until Moments of Love has run its course before announcing. *fingers crossed*
Ja wouldnt have been a main. This is focused on Smart and James. And First has been a freelancer for a while now, and Ja is still being managed by the same person as First. So that actually doesnt really have much perceived/expected bearing on anything. Unlike with other companies who only cast in house or with one agency.
Nor is time a concern either. Even though Thailand’s BL industry does have a really fast turnaround time from filming to release, pre-production actually does tend to take a while. Thus why official announcements are held off for so long. And why pilot trailers arent really indicative of much.
What is worrying though is the lack of any and all mentions of this. Mame announced 2 series (and is about to release 1 of them), but ignores inquiries about this one.
