GMMTV is never going to be getting Zee and NuNew. They are very loyal to Aof, even when he makes mistakes. In addition Aof is constantly hiring new talent and a few of them seem to be really promising.

I don't see the two of them doing BL series forever, within a few years my guess is NuNew will exclusively be doing music and Zee will be running his businesses and continuing his modeling career which would be much more successful if he wasn't tied down to Domundi series and events

I just looked up the roster of GMMTV series and I have to say I never even heard of one of them. So they either suck or GMMTV has no budget to promote them.

But you have no chance of having your wish come true either way.

That isn't true. There will never be a series where Zee and NuNew don't wind up together in the end.

And even though they made changes from the book that is the one thing they will not be changing.

I see a lot of criticism of the writers on how the budget was spent and everything else. Quite frankly the book as it was didn't require changing.

It wasn't a matter of allocating more money to writers It was a matter of not changing the plot of the book for the series. All they had to do was write a screenplay following the book and they would have had a better series. I doubt that the writers were the ones who decided to change the plot.

If I had to guess some of the changes surrounded giving more screen time to Jimmy Ohm and NetJJ, because their characters were significantly less present in the book. So if some viewers are upset with the small amount of screen time that they get in the series they really would have been pissed off if the writers followed the book.

Also the redemption plot has ruined the entire ethics of the book. If you do terrible things there should be terrible consequences.

It is very easy to be done with the series. Watch something else. I don't see how the existence of a show that you hate has any effect on you.

Domundi is making big bucks on this series. It's not perfect, but it's watchable if you are a ZNN fan of which there are millions. This show is number one on IQIYI, Netflix, and trending number one in Thailand and a dozen other countries.

I totally support not watching a series you hate but what I don't understand is wishing financial doom on a company and the actors just because you don't like the series.

Scratching my head here. 🤔

Ratings as in viewership. Is also #1 on IQIYI and Netflix. Obviously you can't rate viewership 5 years from now. But I'm sure it will be just as popular as Cutie Pie. Fans love ZNN and there are very few shows in which they have acted.

Point is the show isn't perfect but neither was Cutie Pie, and fans still find it watchable and enjoyable.

There's a lot of nitpicking going on in this group.

Yeah. Makes no sense that he put up with this abuse for all those years if he could leave at any time.

Oh Lord we have another one. This is someone's opinion, not even a spoiler. And FWIW once the episode has aired It is no longer a spoiler.

My point was I'm a fan. But the mildest of not liking something will get those women after you.

I've probably been more positive about this show here than most people, and as much as some of TNP has annoyed me I'm still having fun with it.

In the end TNP is going to make money and probably a lot of money.

And Zeenunew is going to continue to rake in the cash. If they can get to the point where they speak anywhere near decent English they can probably write their own ticket.

There are still people watching Cutie Pie and I am sure they will still be watching The Next Prince for years.

Neither one of them would win any mainstream series awards but I think TNP is actually better than CP.

That being said I wish they had stayed closer to the plot of the book. But in the end I don't think it matters because Zeenunew has crazy numbers of fans. They are so rabid that I was actually blocked from the Zeenunew group on Reddit.

Those women don't take any crap. 😂

Yeah but they probably turned a profit by episode 7.

For episode 12 it was number one in Thailand and 10 other countries. So I don't think viewership is the problem. It's actually breaking records in all time viewership for BL.

Honestly I'm beyond guessing at this point. Since what was supposed to happen in the fencing scene in the book happened in the archery scene in the series, I figured they would be wrapping up the rest of the story in episode 13 leaving episode 14 for the special chapters. Episode 14 is supposed to be 80 minutes.

But they're probably going to need half of those 80 minutes to wrap up the story so I have no idea how they are going to end the series. It kind of calls for a wedding but I'd rather no wedding than the way they ended Pit Babe 2 which was horrible.

The special chapters deserve an episode. An hour and a half episode. Considering that they haven't finished telling the story such as it is in episode 13 I'd be much happier if they just ended TNP with Charan arriving in London like they did in the book and saved the four special chapters for a single special episode.

I did notice in the Q70 BTS NC scene that neither Zee nor NuNew were wearing wedding rings, and I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be the last scene in the series.

I'd rather that they did that than a botched attempt at the special chapters even if they never do a special episode.

The time for talk was over. Ramil needed to pick his father up and throw him through a wall. It seems like Ramil doesn't realize how big and strong he is.

I actually liked TNP until they changed the villains.

Zee and NuNew have a lot of chemistry but didn't really get the opportunity here because of the character that Zee plays. I hear that the final NC scene is supposed to be better, and I actually didn't mind the first NC scene but the second one was ridiculous with those paint brushes.

Despite any of that TNP is a huge hit. It's the number one series in Thailand and a dozen other countries.

And I enjoyed Pit Babe until the very last episode which was a complete cluster f*ck. I'm afraid that will also happen to TNP if they try to get the fencing match, the outcome, and Khanin leaving for London in episode 14 and then try to cram the four special chapters at the end.

And honestly the series isn't really complete without the four special chapters. So I don't know what they're doing here.

Compared to the series it is a masterpiece. The bad guys got what was coming to them. Here everything is watered down. So far the only person who got what was coming to them was Wasin.

And half of the events that occurred in this series didn't occur in the novel.

Yes.

The entire premise of the series is that it is the heirs that compete and the winner's father becomes the next king.
