Not a voice changer. He actually sounds like that irl.

If the trailer has any truths to it, then he's still alive. Probably imprisoned somewhere. Hopefully, we'll get our answer in the next episode.

It's a much needed wakeup call because in Kram's mind, he thinks Phupha in world 1 is the same as the one he knew in world 2. Though since Phupha1 is starting to gain memories from Phupha2, and Kram2 is starting to gain memories of Kram 1, it'll be interesting to see how the series plays out.

In the novel, the target isn't Phupha, but his entire family. In world 2, after Phupha was killed, members of his family were killed off one by one. The whole thing is pretty complicated, and I doubt production has enough time to cover the whole storyline, but I think they'll still cover the main points.

So if you really want to know what happened, I highly recommend you read the book.

Kongthup finally released the MV for "Too Late" and they most definitely did not disappoint!

Well, unlike you, I haven't watched all of the Thai BL dramas, so I honestly can't say whether or not quality has dropped. I would however, say that some of the older companies that are known for producing good BL dramas have since turned into BL drama cranking machines, while smaller and newer companies are gaining momentum with good and unique productions. Still, that doesn't really mean the quality has dropped, just that the Thai BL industry has become so saturated that companies are now thinking outside the box in order to keep the genre appealing to local and international viewers. Since they're trying to deviate from the old formula and experimenting with new ideas, there are bound to be fails, but that's part of the learning process. Just because the recent BL dramas you've watched are total crap doesn't mean the industry is getting worse.

I would add that if Thailand wants to stay competitive with other BL industries, the first thing they should do is scrap the whole CP concept. I get that it has racked in millions of dollars in profit, but it's not a good long-term formula.

This reminded me of The Sign, a Thai BL that came out late last year. It was also based on a novel, a rather complex novel, according to the director. The show had a strong start, but then midway through the series it started to get chaotic. Like, they wanted to showcase so much, yet they don't have enough episodes, so they just started stuffing ideas left and right. Overall, the series was good, though I wish they could be more structured with the plot since it's one thing to read it in a novel, but another thing to present it onscreen.

And I'm getting the same vibe with Two Worlds. They cut out quite a lot in the first two episodes, but from episode 3 and episode 4 tonight, they went from stripping the chapters bare to cramming too much into the episodes. Granted, episode 4 was better, more structured, but I worry that they're about to repeat the same mistake as The Sign. Fingers crossed that won't happen.

Kinda unfair to say that, considering just last year alone there were great BL series such as I Feel You Linger In The Air, Cherry Magic and The Sign. Just because there were some crappy ones don't mean the whole industry is getting worse.

He played Blue, a college freshman who tried out for the soccer team. He and Max didn't get much screentime. They were mostly overshadowed by Zee/Saint and Jimmy/Tommy. You didn't miss much.

Actually, Boy Sompob isn' t just a lyricist. He has composed music for numerous BL dramas in the past. He even wrote both music and lyrics AND sang quite a few of them himself. I have to say, it's good to see him performing at the premiere. Hopefully, he's responding well to the treatment.

After Phupha learned the truth about his parentage, for some reason he decided he needed to take his father and fiancee away, which is why they were on the road. They were intercepted by the ninja-wannabes who tried to kill Phupha (again), but his father saved his life and got stabbed (again). Then Tai showed up out of nowhere with Kram and shot one of the assassins. Apparently, they're like zombies. You have to shoot them in the head.

The ep ended with Kram crying over Phupha and Tai have a flashback of him finding Kram's body. Personally, the sequence of events felt off, but on the other hand, they are moving forward with the plot. So I guess in episode 4, we'll find out who survived and who died.

Well, I know they were very ambitious when they announced their lineup in 2023. So far, four (three dramas + 1 movie) have aired, one is currently airing, three are a question mark, one just air another pilot trailer, and one is back to square one because one of the male leads withdrew from the project. While I'm not sure what's happening, I sincerely hope they can complete all of their projects.

He has been cast as one of the male leads in an upcoming BL drama called Iridescent Love.

Um... they're just following the novel lol. Plus, it's reflective of Kram's personality. Once he sets his mind on something, it's hard to change it. So, once he learns that what happened in his world can also happen in world 1, his only goal was to keep Phupha safe. Like I said, they cut out a lot of materials from the novel, which is why parts of the series can be confusing.

The way the novel shaped it, the events are identical in both worlds. However, depending on the choices the people make, the outcome of those events can be different. I guess you could say it's like an interactive game where players make their own choices and it leads to various outcomes?

For example, in world 1, because Kram and Tai got together, Tai gave up his gang life, but then Kram was killed by Tai's father. Whereas in world 2, because Kram got together with Phupha, Kram didn't die, but Tai continued to be a gangster.

Or, in world 1, Kram's father was killed by Tai's father, but his mother is still alive. In world 2, his mother was killed by Tai, but his father is still alive.

And of course, in world 2, Phupha left his fiancee and Kram at the hospital and went to confront his stepfather about his parentage, and was later murdered. In world 1, Kram wasn't there during the assassination attempt, so Phupha stayed at the hospital with his uncle/father and fiancee, and learned about his true parentage through his biological father. That's why he didn't go see his stepfather, and he didn't die.

The novel has pretty detailed explanations on this, but I guess production had to leave those out due to budget and the limited number of episodes. Kram2 was hoping to recreate his romance with Phupha1, but he ended up falling for Tai1. That is one of the sub-plots, but I'm not sure how production is going to present that given we're almost halfway through the series.

Yeah... *facepalm

That's what I'm confused about. Usually, they would film a pilot trailer to attract potential investers, but The Next Prince was announce around late 2022/early 2023, and it's now 2024, and they've released another pilot trailer. So I'm just wondering if they've run into any problems with the series. It wouldn't be uncommon. I still remember the craziness KinnPorsche ran into while shooting the series.

So last year, they released a pilot teaser trailer, and this year, they released a pilot trailer? Okay... well, I'm not sure why they're dragging this out, but trailer looks good, so hopefully they can get this project underway soon.

I'm confused. Didn't they release a pilot trailer last year? So why are they releasing another one? Or did someone messed up the title?
