For the right audience, i think this would be a great film. It’s very well done. Spectacularly performed. And gorgeously filmed through and through.
But i like my revenge flicks to have more action. And less sexual violence.
On it, we have this statement:
"Domundi TV is a page that produces content, variety, travel, food, travel, and fun activities. both domestically and internationally since 2017, and more than the Domundi TV page, Mandee Work Co., Ltd. has also produced many other works in the entertainment industry."
Indeed, Mandee Work is listed as a production studio:
contentthailand.com/production/mandeework-co-ltd/
entertainment.trueid.net/detail/lpDJ5wJn85X0
"DOMUNDI, the pair's agency, announced"
And on posters, Mandee Work is listed next to the Copyright info: mydramalist.com/photos/qBWj2_4
So yes, you do appear to be correct. Mandee is the production studio and DoMunDi is the talent agency/artist management company.
Although, based on the way they are rarely mentioned without each other, the way some sites used DoMunDi as a synonym for Mandee, and just the evolution of these 2 businesses, I think it's pretty safe to say the Mandee was born out of DoMunDi. But the fact that Mandee has been corporatized (Co. Ltd.) and DoMunDi hasn't would make them sister businesses, rather than a parent and subsidiary (dont quote me though, i definitely am not fluent in business talk). Which is also likely why Mandee is doing the press statements about legal action instead of DoMunDi, despite it typically being the talent agency/management company's job.
Because the Thai press statement you gave still identifies Mandee as the caretaker of domundi's artists - which could be interpreted as an Artist Management/Talent Agency statement or as a production company who is aware that they are essentially borrowing talent and they are in their care. Still though, such statements of legal action in protection of artists is usually done by the Artist Management/Talent Agency Company.
And "content creator group" (DoMunDi) could still imply a production house.
What you say about the Gen artists and where series videos is housed is definitely strongly in your favor though. So I'm inclined to believe you're right afterall.
See their press statements. Like this most recent one: www.instagram.com/p/C3fE9q9LRmV/?hl=en&img_index=1
"Mandee Work Co. Ltd, which manages artists under DoMunDi,...."
Of course, Mandee, like all talent agency houses, may help fund projects and wind up with their name on productions not from their sister production house - such as the case with To Be Continued.
Here's the trailer though! https://youtu.be/X9fsXkOHKS0?si=QotLk7Kl45rmfVOp
Wedding Plan was significantly less toxic than her previous dramas (though the lesbian couple was very flat). So, we'll have to see. Love Sea isn't published, so i dont know what the story is going to unfold out to be. I can say that there's a lesbian support couple in "Boy Next World" but WOOOOOOOOOO that sheet toxic (the main romance).
For two, he’s been involved in a few events that don’t exactly make him the most well-received…
When compared to Foei who is also involved in several of the same events, White doesnt seem to have the same popularity and/or match the GMMTV/Thai major character appearance
But now he is a freelance actor, no longer tied to GMMTV. And he did graduate in marketing, and his socials appear to be more in the influencer/modeling vein than acting - so that might be more of his focus rn.

One possibility:
It was a mistake. Neither GMMTV nor the 23.5 socials announced an airing date. We only know February because of an interview/live a few weeks (maybe even months, i dont remember) ago. But even then, no date. So it's possible someone made an error when putting up that calendar.
Another possibility:
In the face of all of the artists leaving GMMTV and several new faces joining, GMMTV thinks that putting a reality/event program to promote their artists and ships in one of their most popular/prized days of the week would be a better choice right now. Especially before we get into the 2024 releases.
And then forgot to update GMM25 with this decision.
I can just about guarantee it's NOT:
23.5 being cancelled or shelved.
It would make no sense. Not just from a popularity standpoint, but from an industry one as well. GMMTV took so long to get a/this GL out there, theyre behind. So many other studios have put out GLs, finding fame with GLs, and/or are about to put out GLs. Tie in the fact that BL specifically is so oversaturated, GMMTV NEEDS this GL. I know GMMTV is quite stupid about some things, but I dont think they'd be this stupid. The ONLY way 23.5 would be cancelled, imo, is if something is happening behind-the-scenes with cast or crew that hasnt hit the news yet. 🤷♀️ And if so, we wouldnt still be getting pictures and comments about on 23.5, director, and actor socials. Also they haven't let scandals stop their stuff before as far as I'm aware of (it's usually government/social stuff - like Military of Love)
So it's one of those top 2.
