show doesn't seem to be connecting to the larger BL audience as the high school genre is now very niche. episode…
On the flipside, GMMTV probably cares more about how the show does in Thailand than internationally. MSP definitely seems more geared towards a young domestic audience. GMMTV must be aware that a sweet high school series with a newbie cast wouldn’t have mass appeal, especially considering the BL shows that have been really successful internationally this year are basically the antithesis of this show (😅). I definitely think that the wholesome vibe of MSP still has an audience though. We’ll see how well it does on VIU in the coming weeks and its trending on twitter.
Plus if GeminiFourth become a rising ship in Thailand because of MSP, then the show has done its job as GMMTV seem to be investing alot into them and pushing them alot (judging by their upcoming roles in Moonlight Chicken, Our Skyy 2, and 23.5).
just knowing how excited maxnat are about finally getting their own series is really sweet. nat said they've been longing for this opportunity. they were both teary at the dmd lineup event when the trailer was shown to fans 😭
i know this wasn't even the full pilot trailer, but it was definitely one of the most impressive i've seen for next year. you can definitely tell this was written for znn as they fit their roles perfectly. ♥
So both Middleman's Love and Bed Friend will air on One31 (TV broadcast) and the uncut version on IQIYI. I guess we'll have to wait to hear whether it will also be available on Youtube too.
I don't mind paying for IQIYI, but their shows are usually blocked in my region 😭
The novel does have a plot and less smut than I expected actually given the premise. I think they just focused on the spiciness in the trailer as they know their audience... 😂
Where did you see those pictures with Tommy and Jimmy on set?
Intriguing 👀 I wonder if he visited the set to support (this is more likely imo) or whether he is still involved in the production in some way. I guess we’ll have to see when DMD reveal their lineup as they’ll give us more details on the full cast. It’s not surprising to see the DMD guys hanging out though as they’re all good friends irl.
James was interviewed at DMD Charity Day event and said filming is over 70% finished for Bed Friend and they will still be filming in December and maybe January.
I still think a March release might be possible but ya never know with DMD... 😂
i recently finished reading the novel and it was surprisingly good. net & james are really well cast here, they fit their roles perfectly. hopefully they will stick closely to the story as i liked the pacing of the novel and 8 episodes would be just perfect. 😊
Will this ever air? I’m tired of seeing this on my “plan to watch” list by now….
they’re still filming, about half way through. i have a feeling this will air around february/march but we’ll have to wait and see. probably they’ll reveal more when DMD do their event for their 2023 lineup.
