y'all it's getting to the point where the wait for 23.5 has become unbearable. like i get it takes a while to edit a series but like at least give me a date so i know there's an end.

also why is P'Fon directing another show so soon after. like what are you doing on another set? get back to the editing room.

I feel you. I really, really do. 

But 23.5 has been done for a while, they might still be taking their time editing but it not being ready isn't the issue here. It's that GMMTV has too many unreleased shows and not enough time slots, or that they've been unorganized and haven't been utilizing the slots that they did have.

For now, all we know is that it's confirmed for a February release and will likely replace Last Twilight. I don't know the details of  what exactly directing and editing entails but I'm pretty sure that P'Fon filming High School Frenemy doesn't have anything to do with 23.5 or its release. It's normal for directors to have multiple projects (series) a year so I'm thinking her job for 23.5 is pretty much done at this point- but I could be wrong.

Everyone, sorry for being a little absent, but i bring good news! 

1- The Secret of Us will apparently start filming next month!! we might get the show really really soon!

2-  We are also getting a Thai adaptation for Bloom Into You, the Japanese manga series!!

We've been getting a lot of  Thai adaptations of Japanese manga! is there a specific one you would like to see?  i would specifically enjoy Whisper me a Love Song and Donuts under a Crescent Moon!

i'm more familiar with how american shows/movies are made and typically the director is very involved with the editing process so it's interesting to hear that that might not be the case with thai productions or even more specifically gmmtv productions

Oop- I'm actually not familiar with that process like at all. It was just my assumption since I've seen some directors (specifically P'Fon) having multiple projects per year... My bad.

I professionally work in TV production in Malaysia & Singapore, and the director is usually involved in the editing process but not heavily involved. Once a few episodes are done, the director and assistant director will have a preview and make amendments until everything is ready to be aired. I used to work with Indonesian and Vietnamese production a couple times, and the process is pretty much the same.

It's normal for a director or even other production crew to have multiple projects per year. Once the production (filming) phase is done, the post-production (editing and mixing) is the crucial part. It could take longer, depending on how many episodes and how many cameras they are using for filming.

Korean dramas are infamous for depicting people of LGBTQ community in negative light for a long time. It's like second hand racism (I can't recall the actual term or this one might be right), e.g. you call a less dark skinned person, "You're beautiful among dark skinned people, it's surprising."
