Oh I see what you’re saying. If they did just change it to make it different from the norm - as you said, multiple Thai series have characters named Night - but he still ends up being called Night by all/most of the characters, this would seem a little unnecessary and silly.

That said, I wonder if the writers/producers thought that people might see the names Day and Night and automatically assume they’re siblings like the characters in Last Twilight (or just because the names are opposite words like twins Black & White in Not Me). Or perhaps the character was born on midnight on the 29th and they decided to emphasize this in his name for plot reasons. These are just my guesses but they’re the best explanations I can think of.

Why is Midnight too much? Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to names so if you just don’t like it that’s fine, but I’m wondering if I am missing something?

Yes, and that is an important distinction.We can expect filming to start sometime in February (baded on cast statements). But saying “this will start filming on the 25th”makes people think filming will start on the 25th, when the truth is we don’t actually know which day filming will start.

My understanding is that table was made by a fan who is trying to keep track of where everything is at, but nonetheless was making educated guesses about the start dates. It could be more than guesses, but I have seen nothing to verify that this is leaked official information or something..

Back when they initially announced the series as 30 episodes, it was going to be 70 Qs. Later, when the episode count was amended to 24, the director etc. started saying 60 Qs. So if today is #53, there should be about 7 left to film.

Regarding BL actors, I don’t really think it’s reasonable to expect them to stop using Twitter when success in the industry they work in is so predicated on online engagement. If they were to have successful careers, the assumption is they much be as active on mainstream social media platforms as possible.

Now, is this a conversation the the BL (and beyond) entertainment industries should be having broadly? Probably yes, but never in a way that puts the onus on the actors to lead the charge. If there was to be a shift at all, it would need to come from top down. The exception to this would be if enough fans stopped engaging with Twitter,, making it less important business-wise, but we all know that isn’t going to happen on a meaningful scale.

For me, though, I still want to do my part if I can. It may be a purely symbolic action for me to disengage with Twitter, but it still carries some level of meaning for me to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, so I’m going for it

Thank you so much for posting this! Similar thoughts have been weighing on my mind.

90% of the time when I go on Twitter, I’m following a link from BL fan spaces online, so BL is basically the only reason for my present activity on the app. This doesn’t feel right to me, and on top of that nothing I’m reading on there feels essential to my experience as a BL fan anyway, so I’m coming around to the conclusion that it is time to delete for me personally.

That said, if accessing Twitter did feel like an essential part of my BL fan experience, I still think it would be important for me to reflect on my priorities and what messages my activity sends and if I’m ok with that or not. I am not and will not judge those who continue to use Twitter, but I do think our participation in such a platform is worth contemplating.

Oh, neat. Thanks for letting me know.

I’m curious about the filming process of this series. To my knowledge only about 20 Qs (maybe 21 or 22, I can’t remember) had been filmed before the series premiere date was announced, and I haven’t seen anything about filming since then. Have they continued filming without publicizing, or perhaps the Q count as reported on MDL was off to begin with? If anyone has any insight on this, please share. I’m very curious.

What makes you think MGB is more likely to take Thursday than Break Up Service? 🤔

I’m wondering if they moved it up because they didn’t want to release My Golden Blood so close to the recent Joss controversy.

And/or maybe they’re trying to pressure the director to get this done so she can begin focusing on Scarlet Heart Thailand.

But no matter the reason, this is still wild news. P’Fon is a director known for taking her time, and she’s about to have a series debut before filming is completed?!

So you’re saying cast probably said the script isn’t written, but you didn’t specifically see it?

Has someone involved with Dare You To Death said the script is not written?

What makes you think Wu will be filmed before Dare You to Death? Based on what was showing at Riding the Wave, Wu seemed like the less developed of the two, so I would’ve assumed Dare You to Death would come first.

When was the first delay? I wasn’t aware there had been any official movement on this series between the initial announcement in April and the recent fitting.

Yes I agree, very frustrating indeed.

I still believe that something about all this isn’t adding up. Even Krist’s post doesn’t make complete sense - he heard about postponement at the 2025 press conference but then they did a fitting anyway?- so there has got to be something else going on here that we don’t know about.

Thank you for clearing that up about Aof (though I still can’t find any info about Jojo being directly involved with the script).

In my defense, I don’t really go on X (for a lot of reasons), and P’Aof has not been listed as screenwriter on MDL, and his involvement in this way is also very unusual (as I’ve said, he usually only writes for series he directs).

Thank you. It seems to me like there is a translation issue in this post, as the English translation reads “there was only one episode in the first episode,” so I am not convinced this means only one episode has been written. (Also, wasn’t the fitting done AFTER the 2025 press conference, or am I mis-remembering?)

Can you please link the Twitter post from Krist about this?

Is all of this information coming solely from Krist?
