That would be soo good but gmm won't do that. They pairings already have previous ships.
Well my impressions are not...normal, I'm getting, lol. I know tropes but I also know that we can't expect those tropes out of this set of folks. IMO Jojo's involvement makes the whole thing way more up in the air than people seem to think. Also I get the sense the scriptwriter isn't here for normal BL tropes either, so...
But mostly I just want good story. I want whatever ending we get to feel earned, I want to love at least one of the characters (guaranteed I think), and I want to have a good time.

Oh do F & K have couple merch then? I don't pay attention to that side of things so I didn't know. I do know they appear to be extremely popular, at least in my corners, so it would make sense to keep them together if they were also into it for as long as that wave lasts.
That said, I'd be into shows mixing it up every now and then.
Also I hear Gawin just flat out doesn't do that kind of thing, and frankly good for him even though I guess it probably hinders some of his opportunities.

Normally I'd agree with you, but First and Khaotung aren't actually that established - one drama is not a cp - and Neo and Mark are technically still free agents. The only ones I'd be iffy about are Force and Book, but honestly who knows.
Granted I think the most likely outcome might be everyone split up, so that could be coloring my opinion a little.
Honestly after the trailer RaySand interests me less than Boston and literally everyone. I'm not invested in the…
I think that I will like it a lot. Although I am a little worried they're gonna kill someone off, and that it will be someone I really really like, haha. But other than death I think just about any other outcome will be fine with me so long as it feels earned (and again, I know Jojo didn't write the script but his involvement makes me feel like I won't be disappointed)
Well a trailer is just to entice - that's why I think so many dramatic scenes were shoved in right on top of each…
I liked Enchante a lot, but I couldn't finish ABAAB. I'm willing to see what happens here, I just would like to be interested in following along with the main character and currently...well. You know. :D
We'll see what they do with Mew. I'm not a huge fan of manic pixie dream nerd types that everyone is inexplicably in love with (Theo in Enchante was very trying for me for this reason right up until the reveals and then it was a lot better, but I did like Force and Book's chemistry fwiw). Considering who is behind the helm here...I have faith Mew will wind up being a lot different than expected.
If he really is a manic pixie dream nerd...I will get through it.
I do hope there's some growth here, but you never know. Growing out of being a bunch of messy jerks might not be what they're going for in this one. Who knows. I've seen stuff from interviews but that was all before they'd even started workshopping, so it's all very nebulous to me. I doubt we'll get an unambiguous happy ending though. Good I say, so long as it's done well. :)
I just think that Sand and Ray are the most dramatic so they threw them out there for the effect. My guess is…
Oh it's all just speculation. I will say though that while I'd have loved more time with my favorite couple in The Warp Effect (NimMollie my darlings), I still think that they got a reasonable amount of screen time. Then again I don't know how...couply we can expect this to be, really. I feel like who people end up with romantically might be incidental. Sure they'll bait us (not in a bad way) with couples in the trailer, but we might do well to expect that that's more an afterthought to the rest - friendship, sexuality, betrayal...
Keep in mind all of this is just spitballing though! There's no way to tell really until we see it.
Let's face it... for know most of us feel like there're too many characters and wished this would mainly focus…
Honestly after the trailer RaySand interests me less than Boston and literally everyone. I'm not invested in the couples at all really after that trailer, but I am invested in many of the different relationships. I have a feeling Sand will be my fave so I'm most interesting in how he intersects with the others aside from Ray, too. Especially Nick and Top. I hope they all make out about whatever it is between them. I mean, I don't *expect* they will, it's GMMTV, but I *hope*.
And I have a SandMew friendship agenda that may never be realized, but I figure I'm gonna put it into the universe anyway.
I wonder how much this trailer coincides with the amount of focus on each couple in the series. In terms of sheer…
I just think that Sand and Ray are the most dramatic so they threw them out there for the effect.
My guess is that Mew and Top (and the MewTopBostonRay mess, naturally) will get the most screen time and the other two will be more like, for example, one of the people in The Warp Effect that weren't heavily related to Alex.
So basically the farther removed they our from our MC Mew, the less time they'll get. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a lot of the RaySand stuff already, minus some in between moments to connect it.

I wish that they would have given us more Mew. He's our POV character and I'm about as invested in him right now as I would be in a block of wood. Pretty wood, but still wood.
I am sure that will change - I trust Jojo as a director and I just looked up the screenwriter and he worked on Moonlight Chicken, which is maybe my favorite Thai drama (if not favorite drama) of 2023 so far, so I'm feeling more confident.
The scriptwriter I'm a little more nervous about only because I haven't seen anything he's been a part of. Just the unknown of it.
I'm hoping it's a good time regardless of what happens. I still trust Jojo and trust these actors to give their best, so. Not worried yet. :)
Idk maybe it's the way that it was framed but I definitely liked the pilot trailer better... it seemed to have…
Well a trailer is just to entice - that's why I think so many dramatic scenes were shoved in right on top of each other. That's also why I think Ray and Sand were so heavily featured - they're the most dramatic of the lot, for sure. 😂
Guys, do anyone have any idea who is the guy Neo kissing in 1:57???? Scrolling through tw with all the guesses…
I have heard Ray, whoever Papang is playing as, and Nes (Title's character).
Who is Drake?
ETA: Thinking about it I will say I would LOVE it to be Ray because I've been wanting a Khaotung & Neo pair up since Tonhon Chonlatee refused to give it to me, but I don't think it is - no earring *shrug* he could take it out I guess but I doubt it.

I'm also really enjoying Hidden Agenda too so the weekend is just gonna be full of good things. :D

I was like I know that yell.
Yes.
That said, you can want max messiness and still want a good (for whatever definition fits) ending. The two things don't have to be at odds.
