When Wan accidentally wanders into the dressing room at his idol Nine's lineup event and runs into Nine's acting partner Third, he's mistaken for a sasaeng. Later, hired to photograph the audition of Nine's next project, he catches the eye of an assistant and is roped into auditioning.

Mr. Fanboy Episode 1 Reactions
really enjoyed the 1st ep & i am happy that it was all that the trailer promised - so far, here's hoping it goes from strength to strength & doesn't "fall off" until the end. i liked the concept when i saw the trailer - i think it's very realistic & something a lot of fans need to see, so they realize that just cause they fall in-love with the character doesn't mean the actor is the same person, that he/she is just playing a part. also loved the irony in that the person Wan hated is the real good guy & the one that wont just help him, but will be the one Wan will end up falling for... sweet sweet irony. ********************************************just hope that Nine doesn't turn into Sunny from Payback (as his interaction with the director was a bit to familiar to my liking - hope i am wrong).*********************************************************************************************************************also would love to understand the dynamic between mother & son given what we saw & how other's like Phich treated Third, as he should've been kissing ass, considering how much power Third's mother holds - so what gives there... very promising 1st ep - loved Wan & his friend, they so much fun & i hope that isn't the end of the chaotic duo

I have been looking forward to this series since the polit dropped a while back. And it did not disappoint! Though they are some overused tropes in BL such as family debt and pressure, both the main characters were very endearing. The main leads did a great job especially Save with all his expressions. Looking forward to more episodes!

The intro, Domundi hit hard bringing some of their big dogs out in the park trying to hit a home run. TBH I am not so familiar with many of the BL actors, yes there are the more famous ones who are easily recognizable but the main actors here are somewhat an enigma. I am saying that in a good way because I don’t have any bias (no pun intended). The premise immediately reminds me of ThamePo, a famous actor and a shy photographer in the BL industry. The first half turned me off because of the cartoonish sound effects. Really, you need a sound when someone blinks. That’s just me. But as the episode progressed and our two leads intertwined, the tension specially during the audition and the panic attack after got me. Ok, these series have potential. It has a good foundation to springboard the rest of the storyline. All I am hoping is that they can keep this going til the end, like Payback or Top Form. I’ve seen so many series who falls flat midway.

From start to finish I was intrigued and entertained! Love how authentic and real it felt! Love the way real stars are intertwined into the introduction which made it feel even more realistic!

So I hadnt seen anything about this. nothing. Just found out a new BL called MR.FANBOY was airing and i started watching. My First though was awww the fanboy os so cute and OMG i cant believe they were "presenting the next upcoming series" and then i seen Por and teetee and was like omg! Then the other actors about their series! Then for the main pair im not 100% familiar with them but i love them! And im starting to get a bad feeling about NINE already..... and the way third helped wan after the whole ordeal was just amazing cant wait to see more of this series!!!

The first episode is a cute and lively introduction to the entertainment world through the eyes of Wan, an enthusiastic fanboy who follows the beautiful idol actor Nine everywhere with his camera.After an awkward encounter with Third, a serious actor who seems rather cold toward Nine, Wan is mistaken for an intrusive fan. However, when his family suddenly needs money, he decides to audition for a drama himself.The idea of a fanboy going from chasing his idol to becoming an idol—and perhaps being chased by fans—is a fun premise. Wan is adorable, Third provides an interesting contrast, and Nine’s perfect idol image already seems to be hiding something.

auausave are just *chef's kiss*. I can't believe it's taken this long to see them in their own show! really looking forward to ryujin/patji as well. domundi have really stepped it up with the pacing and timing. I'm feeling a bit of fatigue with the bl/entertainment industry concept, as I feel like the thai bl scene has been saturated with it in the past few years, but this feels fresh nonetheless.favourite moment of the episode: third plucking wan from the ground and manhandling him like he's as light as a plushie, followed by the most sincere sweet few moments of calming him down from his panicked state.

I like this series more than I expected. Finally, a series that lets us fans see things from OUR perspective! 😂 Being a fan is one thing, but imagine actually getting the chance to work alongside your favourite celebrity?! I’m already loving this concept!I really missed James after Bed Friend, so I’m glad to see him back. But honestly, what really got me hooked was Auau as Third. He is SO hot and attractive, and his aura is absolutely stunning. Then we have Save playing Wan, who is funny and so adorable.Domundi never disappoints, and I really enjoyed Episode 1. We have an interesting plot, hot actors, and one of my favourite tropes, enemies to lovers. I already have a feeling this one is going to nail it for me.Imagine working alongside your celebrity crush Nine, only to end up falling for the person you hated at the beginning instead. What a plot! I’m already invested and cannot wait for the next episode.

A protective face mask is used on film in exceptional cases, when an actor needs to hide his identity in an action on film.
I don't see the reason and it is very uncultured and rude to wear a protective mask and what does it lead to?
And there always has to be some transvestite, so people why???? Gender equality and diversity? I want to watch the action of the series and the events, not the feminized characters that are painted on the screen!

The beginning of this episode almost sent me straight to God because Teeteepor showed up, then NorthOtto, and right after that we got Wave with his adorable little boy… I SWEAR! 😭But anyway, let’s talk about the story: I LOVE an enemies-to-lovers, okay??? Literally the best thing in the world. I’m already 100% invested!And I NEED to talk about how much I was losing my mind over AuauSave. They spent the entire episode bickering and I was just sitting there like, “aww, look at my babies, they’re so cute” 😭❤️ They managed to have SO MUCH CHEMISTRY even while fighting! Imagine when we actually get to the romantic scenes… I don’t think I’m going to survive.And Auau… MY GOD. What a man. I’m still a little suspicious of Third when it comes to his character because he seems to enjoy annoying people just for the fun of it, but there’s clearly some backstory there. Now the man himself? INSANE. Absolutely gorgeous. And Save? So handsome and so adorable! I’ll be making excuses for EVERYTHING Wan does!And seriously, they delivered when it came to the acting. Especially those scenes toward the end, during the audition and then the anxiety attack scene. Did they deliver looks? YES. Chemistry? SO MUCH. Charisma? Absolutely. Talent and acting? 100%.I loved this first episode and I really hope the story just keeps getting better. My babies are so beautiful and precious, and I really want them to become HUGE because they deserve it so much. 🥹❤️

I think this series is perfect for AuauSave to show off their talent and how much work they've put into improving. Save is the one who's acting impressed me the most, but I think that Third as a character is my favorite in the show so far. You can just tell that Third is a good person despite his brooding personality. The fact that he immediately apologized and took care of someone who he just had a fight and dislikes because they were vulnerable shows his true character. I can't say many characters who are of similar archetype would be so mature. I can't wait to see more of ThirdWan and how their dislike of each other will slowly blossom into love. Just because Third helped Wan I don't think it's water under the bridge or that they'll get along, but I think Third being such a gentle and upstanding person despite how he comes across is going to be what draws Wan in. I really think ThirdWan are something special and this episode sold me on their characters and that AuauSave can pull them off very well.

That was an amazing roller coaster of emotion. I laughed, cringed, and cried all in one episode. The cast is so talented and the writers are writing!
