Nothing came up at 41:30 but a little after that a song called "Cloud nine" came up on my Google music search. That's when they are hugging so it may be what you're looking for.

That's why I rarely watch dramas until all the episodes have dropped. I made an exception for TNP

I didn't find it scary but terrifically boring. I fast forwarded through all of the mystic / horror / whatever that stuff was. I just wanted to see the relationship between Peem and Khemjira. The very little of it in the series shows that Keng and Namping have good chemistry and I look forward to seeing them in something I'm actually interested in.

DMD really needs another BL couple with the same chemistry as Zeenunew, especially after losing Jimmyohm.

Ohm is still going to be in it. The hold up is finding him a new partner.

It's from chewing betel nuts. Part of ancient Asian culture and known to be extremely carcinogenic in modern times. You can read more about it here. Has its own wiki.

It's mostly mysticism / horror. There's an NC scene in episode 8 which is close to the end of the episode. That episode is 2 hours long.

I think if you're into the genre you will like it but if you're just looking for a romance my opinion is meh.

I watched the NC scene out of curiosity and they seemed very tentative. Apparently the other couple was much more lusty but I didn't watch their scenes.

The episodes are long and slow moving so unless you're really into the main focus of the drama I don't think you'll like it. They are definitely not Zee and NuNew

Jimmy has mental health issues, has for a long time and he ended the ship with Ohm. If you saw his performance at DMD Land 3, he was crying through his entire performance. I feel sorry for the guy.

I did know but everyone else loved it so much I figured I'd give it a try. It's also why I won't rate it because it's not fair to rate something because you go in knowing it's not your type of show.

There a number of fluent English speakers in the cast of TNP but none of them have English speaking roles. Ohm (Paytai), Kris (Ava), Nhing (the King) and Bie (Rachata) all speak fluent English. Ohm and Kris learned at international schools. In fact Kris didn't speak fluent Thai when she started playing Ava. Nhing got his Master's in Australia and also was a flight attendant on international routes earlier in his career. He speaks several languages fluently. And Bie is biracial Thai and English and grew up in a bilingual family. Oh, Lissa Wonson who had a guest role Samantha in episode 1 is Thai- Australian and also speaks fluent English, but she did speak English in the series.

Probably going to be a while because they have to recast Jimmy's part. DMD lets actors pick their own partner and Ohm needs time to consider who his new partner will be.

BTW, I won't be rating the show. I don't feel it's fair to rate something when you already knew you didn't like the subject matter.

You're probably right. I put off watching it for a long time because it was an unappealing plot for me but I heard so many great things about Namping and Keng that I wanted to give it a shot.

Hopefully they'll be in something else that's more mainstream.

It's not anything to do with them as a couple. When Zee and NuNew did After Sundown I hated that too but at least it was only a movie and 2 hours of my time.

I didn't even bother with Zomvivor.

I'm having trouble even making it through the first episode. All the chanting and boring crap. I don't understand how people like this drama. Does it get any better because I can't take too much more of this.

All I got from your post is that you are deaf and blind without any musical training. And JamesSu is still part of DMD, he's just not in a paired BL couple anymore.

My years of opera training tell me that NuNew has an exceptional, versatile, one in a million voice. He also has perfect pitch which most people wouldn't notice if they weren't trained singers.

They haven't even started filming Hug E-Lhee. I wouldn't expect it to be finished before sometime in 2027.

I'm not 100% supportive of a project no matter what it is. Don't even know where you came up with all this psychobabble. You're entitled to your opinion and that's about it.

The audience for BL is overwhelmingly women. It doesn't matter what production company.

And your opinion on the quality of any show, production company, or actor is just that . . . Your opinion.

You don't get to be the ultimate authority on the quality of one production versus another. And in the end, I would trust the overall viewership and the opinion of those that win awards for quality production more than yours. 🤷🏼‍♀️

No. It means that people want to watch their dramas and go to their concerts.

Even the most dedicated fan club can't produce a half a billion views for a drama. Can't make them win multiple awards.

And Hug E-Lhee will be featuring what NuNew does best . . . Sing.

DMD wouldn't be what it is without Zeenunew.

Ratings on MDL I mean nothing. Cutie Pie is one of the most viewed BLs of all time with a half a billion views just on YouTube. Not sure how many on IQIYI.

It also won many many awards as has TNP, including several best BL of the year awards.

The first three episodes are a clusterfuck. I almost gave up on it myself. It improves in later episodes although some of the juvenile behavior continues. The highlight to me is the chemistry between Duang and Qin, and the contrast between Duang's obvious happy upbringing and Qin's tortured past which is peeled open layer by layer over the rest of the series.

Usually I'm not a big fan of NC scenes. I find them boring, but the first one between Duang and Qin got me, Qin opening up physically while still showing signs of emotional trauma.

After all that good work I found the final episode a bit of a letdown, but the character development from episodes 4 to 11 was excellent.

I thought it was a worthwhile watch although not perfect.

In case you want to keep watching it I won't say anything more.

It's country restricted on IQIYI. Not available in the US where I live unless you use VPN and set it to Thailand.
