Not sure that bit about Justin's part in ep. 11 and 12 of WOF getting reduced is true. I couldn't find any proof to support it, like an announcement of GMMTV, a statment from Justin or any of the cast and crew. What I did find was that before ep. 11 of WOF aired people speculated online whether GMMTV would do something like that, with the sole reason to even consider it being that Justin will not attend the fan event and screening of ep. 12 (the show's final episode). Apparently those speculating about it did not see a connection between Justin getting fired and him not attending the event (you lose your job, so you no longer perform said job - and attending fan event obviously used to be part of Justin's job); for those people these two things were somehow separate and Justin not attending the event was presented almost as a punishment (for him, not for the fans), part of what GMMTV did to him. At least that's how I perceived those early speculations. The resoning was: he was cut from the event, they'll cut him from the episode. When ep. 11 of WOF aired last Wednesday - and Justin was in several scenes - more and more people in MDL's comment section claimed that Justin's appearence in that episode was reduced, that a scene or scenes were edited out. Some wrote that they "think" or "feel" that, while others were sure of it and stated it as a fact. No evidence was presented - apparently none was needed. I tried to figure out why people thought all that - pointing out that ep. 11 was the longest episode of WOF so far and that focusing on the main and support couples seems obvious (the show is primarily about them, not about a Justin and Keaton) - but got no clear answer.

"Unknown" only means that his character's name is not known/was not known to the person who added him on MDL to the "Cast" section. There's nothing more to him being labeled this way. It is often the case that someone's name is attached to a show, but in an unknown capacity, as complete cast lists are rarely available; in situations like that MDL often puts a name in the "Cast" section without mentioning the role (support, guest etc.) nor character name. As for Justin in "Match Point": I'm guessing his role is really small, smaller than Tata's, Java's or Arm's. He is barely visible in the official trailer of the show, released 2 weeks ago (he's a guy in a dark green hoodie watching a match between Sun and Bay). He's not in the opening credits nor in the end credits. I couldn't find him in any of the BTS pictures on the show's X account nor elsewhere - but that's hardly surprising, as 85% of those pics are of Ping and Teshow. There are some good quality group pics of the cast and crew taken at the very end of filming of the whole show - he's not there either. I assume he's role is more of a guest one (or even a cameo) and that he'll show up for 1-2 scenes only. Also, I don't think he was or will be removed/edited out - what would be the point of doing that?

May I know why you think/suspect that "AugustTle scenes were probably cut off"? I'm asking that because before ep. 11 aired I read several comments - all of which were written after GMMTV terminated Justin's contract - that Justin's scenes will be cut from ep. 11 and 12. The sole basis for this assumption given in those comments was that the ep. 11 preview on IG was short and Justin was either absent/cut or his appearance seemed reduced. I have no idea what preview was referenced in those comments. The only ep. 11 preview I watched was shown during end credits of ep. 10 last week; that preview included 2 scenes with Justin. Both of those scenes, as well as 3 other scenes with Justin (not including 2 scenes of Ko1 being on the phone with August - Justin is only heard in those 2 scenes), were in the ep. 11 which aired today. This - at least for me - does not indicate that Justin's role was reduced in any way. The length of ep. 11 does not imply that either: at 56 minutes and 52 seconds it was the longest episode of the series so far (an average episode of WOF - basing on the 11 episodes released so far - is 48 minutes and 33 seconds long). Also, let's not forget that neither August nor Tle are the main or even secondary focus of the series. AlmondProgress portray the main couple, KenPaul the secondary/support couple, while for both Justin and Keaton WOF serves as an introduction to GMMTV shows, combined with testing of a potential new ship. Given how little screen time was given to August+Tle in ep. 1-10 and how slowly their plotline progressed, ep. 11 does not seem deprived of a single scene with them both.

The teaser for ep. 11 (shown at the end of ep. 10) includes bits of a scene with Ko&Ko holding hands by the sea at night - seems like perfect conditions for a kiss.

Yes! Thank you for the tip!

Not sure where in my review I jumped to a conclusion - I stated what I felt about TTH (that it "was written like a puff piece for catholicism"), but not why I think TTH is like that. While I won’t dispute your argument about Thai law, I’m not sure that’s the reason TTH is the way it is. I’m not even sure legal protections you mentioned would apply here: presenting catholicism or the church as they really are on LGBTQ issues is neither insulting nor defamatory. Also, look at the initial trailer for TTH – no sign of sugar-coating there. In that trailer Arnon seems to be guilt tripping Tanrak, accusing Barth and trying to prevent them from being together; it’s implied that Arnon’s actions are at least partly responsible for Tanrak’s struggle. Showing all that seems to be within legal boundaries, as the trailer was released, shown during GMMTV’s presentation on 26.11.2024 and is still available on YT. If all that got changed later, it might have been for other reasons than to avoid legal liability.

I see. Regardless of my review or other reviews on MDL I do encourage you to watch the show if you can. It might be that you'll see the show in an entirely different way than I did - and that you'll enjoy it far more than I did.

Did you watch the whole show?

"My accent sounds like I was born under the Eiffel Tower"
"More like you sleep under the Eiffel Tower"
I nearly choked on my salad while watching this scene.

Is this an editing error or did I misunderstand or miss something? In the flashback scene Saithan has markings on his neck, resembling a hand. Initially I thought this would come up during Saithan's argument with Phayu - but it didn't. Then I thought that - during the argument - Phayu would grab Saithan's neck and that those markings were there from a previous take of that scene - but now I'm not sure anymore. Ideas, anyone?

Always glad to help.

Not sure if there's a law or rule or just a custom, but Thai BLs seem to refrain from showing underage performers kissing. "When Oranges Fall" was filmed in 2026, when Almond was already 18, but not Progress, who turned 17 on 26.03.2026. I remember something similar with Gemini's and Fourth's first kiss in ep. 6 of "Moonlight Chicken" (which was filmed several months before MSP) - it wasn't shown, but heavily implied; all we saw in three separate shots were the backs of Gem's and Fourth's heads. At the time of filming Gemini was either 17 or 18, but Fourth was only 17.

Like it says in the description: it's "Caesar" Phudit Kannaphan. He's managed by WARY Thailand, just like several other cast members. Not sure he appeared in anything prior to "Your Dear Daddy".

Once they all got engulfed by fog and everyone faced their fears I was hoping to see Inn Sarin portraying Tong's nemesis of some sort, like a shadow from the past, someone he lost or had to abandon. Most BL watchers would get the reference. I know that ship sunk, but Inn's cameo in that particular capacity would make sense.

It's the "b" from "bromance", I assume.

When SIla said he dated a junior from his university I thought of "Zo" from "A Boss and a Babe", played by Ohm Thipakorn Thitathan. What a weird connection to make.

Shirtless Tui? You've got my attention.

I'm forced to agree. I was surprised that a show consisting of just 8 episodes has so many characters and provides them with so much screen time, that the main couple seems sidelined for most of the show's duration (at least for now). Having a lot of characters isn't bad in itself, but here they all have too much to do and to say - a girl side couple in the making, two friends coming of age, business dealings, old rivalries between families... Why all of that was included and given so much attention (instead of being a mere addition to the main plot) is beyond me.

You mean the end of ep. 2/start of ep. 3 stuff with Saithan? I was thinking more in the direction of traumatic past/suppressed memories of Saithan himself.

I like that both Ko Neung and Ko Song pretend to be tough - and how both Progress and Almond try to present that. Almond brings this weird mix of surface calm and actual strength to his character; there's a facade of being assertive, which drops with each nervous glance at his screen partner, but there's also true resolve and quiet determination to his. Ko Neung - because of all his antics - is all over the place, often infantile and annoying; there are also glimpses of real maturity - that's more of Progress than his character, I guess - showing that there's a young adult in that child.
