Does any one know how much of a success it was in Thailand? I hope the show gets more viewership and much deserved…
It was a super hit in Thailand. The Final EP screening in cinema completely sold out. Moderately popular among general audience/non-bl watching audience.
I will be so mad if they turned this into a bromance but you know what it's fineeee. The premise is so interesting I'm so glad Bright Rapheephong are finally getting the amazing lead roles he deserve after the success of IFYLITA. That man is a star
Any spoilers after he come back in new body? How thry resolve theirs feelings? Happy ending?
protagonist comes back in "new body", same name (but judging by the series they're using the same actor i think) and still gets entangled into a relationship with ML again but this time protagonist doesn't simp and pine less while ML tries to chase protagonist more. and yes happy ending.
August is the right cast, the minor actors are poor casting choice... If they're going to also adapt Book 2 in which the characters have become adults they should have chosen an older Bai Luo Yin. August looks Gu Hai to me but Mac doesn't 😔
It's not cancelled. Bright and the producer have already confirmed it's coming out in December as a Christmas…
Yes haaha I'm considering going again tooooo lmao. Bright had quite a few events in November and he very much want to affirm with all the fans that the Special EP is coming in December (multiple times). Dee Hup is starting to roll out their merch, with a tweet from the Director that boxset is also coming soon, and I think with Bright Nonkul shared event on December 29, if I had to make a wild guess on the date for Special EP, my personal guess is 22/12 or 23/12.
Come on... This is not C-dramaland!! What happened?
Don't worry I think you're just looking at the vocal minority. Most Thai and international fans are generally respectful of Nonkul's personal dating life and everyone knows to separate real life actors and fictional characters well. Nonkul is in the process of flirting/getting to know the actress Aff, they're not officially boyfriend/girlfriend yet but it is generally understood that he's only "talking" to her at the moment.
I don't know if it's true but I hope they are not going to cancel the special episode only because some stupid…
It's not cancelled. Bright and the producer have already confirmed it's coming out in December as a Christmas gift to the fans. They're just not fixed on a date yet because they know some fans will be travelling in December so it might be hard for them to come (for a Cinema screening of the Special EP).
I feel like they cut to the present probably because they aren't sure if they can make season 2 if season 1 doesn't…
Their Macau fanmeeting gets announced FIRST even before Thai fans get theirs and the poster has like 10+ sponsors on it in addition to deehuphouse/yyds 😱 I think Nonkul's popularity and the pandemic keeping him away from Chinese fans these past years make them really want to pull out all the stops in order to get some form of fanmeeting for Nonkul in China. Very grateful both Nonkul and Bright are gaining huge recognition for this series that both invested so much care, time, detail and craft to

I agree with your point that IFYLITA does seem to have higher production cost. In a discussion with a friend, they did point out that the series itself has few locations and few extras, only focusing on a fixed group of characters but it still blows my mind that there isn't a single ad/product placement within this series 😭 Like where does the mysterious funding comes from? Is Youku involved with the funding? Is that why SEA fans have to subscribe to watch Uncut so Youku can gain back the capital they contributed to this production? This shall forever be a big huge mystery to me
