I guess fan service is 24/7. Never know who may grab a candid.

Seriously, he puts all the other actors to shame!

I'm hoping only 8 episodes means that 3 won't be wasted on some stupid sub-plot about a kidnapped shih tzu.

I had to stream it on GagaOOLala, paid.

I've seen both. I'd say the characters are very different.

KMD is not the bottom of the barrel of Filipino BL production groups, but they're close. Direk Cy Ruz holds that distinction; at least the KMD guys are trying.

Was sort of a fan of Xerxes Damuggo from his MLV days, but here he's (intentionally? comedically? ironically?) overacting.

2 things I find curious about "Direk Cy Ruz TV (Magnifico TV)": 1) They keep pumping out BL after BL after BL without any sort of production improvement, nor any inkling that they're even trying to improve (quantity over quality I guess), and 2) almost all of the scenes are shot outdoors.

Most child actors, especially in BL series, come off like they're just spitting back memorized, one-off lines each take. It's amazing the complex lines and scenes they gave this guy and how flawless and natural he pulled them off.
"Yukata!" "Yutaka!" "Yukata!" "Yutaka!"

If I see one more predictable sub-plot about a Shih-Tzu that gets kidnapped, I will shoot my TV.

Yes, "My Bromance 2: 5 Years Later" (https://kisskh.at/31849-my-bromance-2) IS a direct follow up of the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zywzVne5CDI) with the same actors and same director/scriptwriter. [Plus watch this short (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzgl0XVk2pA) which reveals the true ending of the movie.]

THIS series, "My Bromance The Series" with Cooper really has nothing to do with any of those.

The executive producer has put this up on YT, with EngSubs. In one of the comments, he says he finally decided it was better to put it up than to just let in sit in his hard drive after all these years. I guess it never really was released--he said he lost millions (baht I assume) on it.

I really enjoyed this. I liked the provincial setting, which is a good change from Bangkok all the time. All 4 leads were quite handsome and cute.

Does anyone know in what part of Thailand this is supposed to be taking place?

This movie IS quite dark and potentially disturbing--I HIGHLY recommend it!
Kinda surprising this was directed by the same guy that directed the web series Bangkok G Story.

You're correct that it's all on the director, but seeing as he's done stuff since Love Sick with better production quality (and some worse!), I think the fact that in order to produce a lot of these BL series, that they need to agree on a VERY cheap budget, is in play here. That necessarily precludes stuff like blocking, practice takes, multiple takes for smoother editing, better (more expensive) actors, etc.

No, thankfully. :D

What's the title "Formula 17" refer to? The main character's supposed to be 17 years old, but that still doesn't lend much meaning.

I didn't say to look up the definition in a dictionary, and I'm not going to research the _history_ for you. Traditional Japanese Yaoi is overwhelmingly _straight_ young guys falling in love with each other, written by straight women, for straight women.

Do some research on the history of yaoi.
