Multilicus

A few episodes ago I was betting that Feratu is awake/conscious and controlling Jett, whom he made a vampire all those years back at the orphanage, and that the Hunters were actually created/inspired by Feratu as a tool of revenge on Jonoel vampires. Well, I was wrong.

Can't decide whether I'm here for Fluke or Yacht. Help, anyone?

He did a splendid job in "MuTeLuv: Not My Father!", portraying the only complex character: going from troubled to lost to dark and insane. And all that time I was like "someone give that boy a big hug, a kiss and pull him back into the light".

I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying this show. I don't care about vampires (this is still first and foremost a BL, only this time the protagonists and setting are vampire-related instead of school or university related) and that's not what caught my attention. Boun and Prem are both doing a very good job portraying characters which feel relatable - both feel lost, trapped by their status/position, often confused by their feelings, lonely and striving for something else/more than they know. Both are gravitating towards each other despite of circumstances (again: vampire-related, but that's unimportant; what matters is that we understand their plight and feel that obstacles for their love are there, are real, not made-up). Boun's Ramil might be a bit wacky at times, but there's a lot of calm sadness about him - same as in Prem's Punn; this sadness goes away when they are together - and maybe that simple trick made me like the show. Those characters and their portrayal have grown on me.

First - both in "calm, calculating evil mode" and in "crazy, chaotic evil mode" - is a treat. I also liked today's episode for Jimmy channelling some of the "evil bitch" attitude he used in "Bad Buddy". Watching First and Jimmy - both in "evil mode" - going against each other was a highlight of my Sunday.

I found ep. 2 much more interesting and entertaining than ep. 1.

While the script for last part/scene of today's episode (ep. 4) was cheesy, the scene itself was enormously enjoyable and felt genuinely touching - almost exclusively due to good delivery of both Boun and (even more) Prem. Their performances and chemistry elevated the writing and saved what could have been a disaster.

1/ I'm not a whovian, but still felt the opening credits similar - in vibe, design and music - to those of "Doctor Who"; I actually liked it more than the episode itself.
2/ While I liked Gemini's performances in "Moonlight Chicken", MSP and - to a degree - in "My Love Mix-Up!", I was unimpressed by him in ep. 1 here (I'll keep watching, maybe it's me who needs adjusting).
3/ Biggest disappointment so far: Aungpao's performance. I loved him in "Cooking Crush" and kept rooting for him (while ranting that GMMTV's not giving him a decent role to play, relegating him to background characters); now that he got a little more screen time than usually (albeit in a principal cast larger than in BLs) I didn't like what I saw (but will keep watching and hoping it'll become better).

When Punn, Ramil and Methas enter the hotel floor only Punn's reflection can be seen in the glass wall of the corridor - revealing that both master and his servant are vampires. It's not mentioned nor addressed in any way and if you blink you might miss it. Neat little detail.

He did nail it in "Boys in Love".

The script clearly is botched, but the performances, although clumsy, seem genuine and fill the show with enough charm to make the whole thing enjoyable. It's dumb, but feels so well intended, that I can't help but like it.

A profile for "Guy" Puntakarn Weeravatesakul was added:

That's a feeling a lot of people got - judging by the comments. I got it too, as a number of the show's aspects - including all you mentioned - seem archaic, and count among the shows weaknesses/flaws. On the other hand we got a "NSFW scene" in ep. 1, responsible for there being a "master" (meaning "cut") and "uncut" versions of the episode; I might be wrong, but that's very unlike BL shows from 10 or 5 years ago. A weird mix of outdated and modern stuff.
Edit: I couldn't find when both novels the script is based on were written/published, but I did find a review for "Gown and Gear" from October 2019 and reviews for "Extern!" from 2020.

No MDL profile. Judging from his IG account he was in "Apple My Love" by Kongthup - the same company which produced "Doctor's Mine". Also, he's a pediatrician - which is a nice touch given the show's title.

Only ep. 11 and 12 are available in full on GMMTV's YT channel, with only fragments of ep. 1-10 available there.

While agreeing with basically everything @JennyStuckOnThatRooftop wrote, I'd like to add something from my own perspective of an imperfect Thai BL watcher. Imperfect (and this is a kind of a disclaimer) as I have watched only about 50 Thai BL series, most of which were produced after 2020 and by GMMTV; while 50 might seem like a high number, that's only a fraction of BL production from that period - hence my perspective may be skewed.
From what I've seen Thai BLs are almost never about realism - realism understood as how things are IRL. I might be wrong, but I think that initially - at the very beginning of modern day BL productions (2014-15, when the original "LoveSick" aired) - those shows were more about normalizing gay people and their relationships, familirizing wide audiences with those topics and introducing them into the mainstream, not as a quirky addition, but main focus of a story for everyone. This worked and more shows were produced each year; a BL formula was developed and BLs became a subgenre. It's no longer about raising awareness or increasing visibility - in almost all cases it's a fantasy about very cute/handsome young (or young looking) men becoming romantically involved with each other. And - again, in almost all cases - it relies on tension and emotional build-up between main characters, their journey to becoming a couple (as @JennyStuckOnThatRooftop already pointed out), implied intimacy and desires rather than actually shown ones. Judging by the size of a general BL audience out there this works pretty well for a lot of people. And I don't think it's because these shows are meant to be family shows nor that it is meant to calm parents down - it's just a part of BL aesthetic, or its Thai variant. BTW: BLs used to be almost sterile and include even less overt intimacy than they (usually) do nowadays; that was happening for various reasons - some serious, some petty - but a change is very visible.

I had a similar observation. It got me thinking whether this is deliberate (writers wanted Mon and Kim to be flawed, but authentic) or accidental (there’s no deeper thought behind how Kim and Mon are written). I even made a summary of Kim-Mon interactions in ep. 3-11 to make sure I’m not imagining things. In ep. 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 Mon was either displeased, annoyed or outright angry because of something Kim did; additionally he was (at least initially) unsupportive of Kim’s efforts to become a model student in ep. 8 and failed to notice (or ignored/disregarded) Kim’s insecurities in ep. 10. I noticed only one instance of Mon actually helping Kim with something: recording Kim’s shorts in ep. 8. On the other hand Kim’s issue, like you pointed out, is honesty/communication, mostly caused by various insecurities and fears – he’s afraid to confess to Mon in ep. 3, panics at the library in ep. 5 (when a teachers asks Kim about his mom), is scared to admit that he likes Sport’s Day in ep. 9 and that he already applied to a uni in ep. 11; he’s also afraid he isn’t good enough for Mon in ep. 10. The same insecurities seem to be the cause of Kim being clingy (like in ep. 4, when Mon tried to study), but also to prove that he can improve as a student (like in ep. 8). I’d say that both Mon and Kim behave and have issues like at least some teens – but still can’t decide whether this is done on purpose or a coincidence. I’m also not a fan of that Kim-Mon dynamic, especially given Kit and Shane as comparison (Kit, in particular, seems to be one of the best BL boyfriends).

According to "Doctor's Mine" IG post (see link below):
- "official trailer" will be realeased on 26th June,
- ep. 0 will air on 13th July at 11 pm,
- ep. 1 will air on 20th July at 11 pm,
all on Kongthup Channel's YouTube Channel and Viu. Seems like there will be a cut version on YT and uncut on Viu.

That awesome hat might be the best thing in ep. 1.

Like @lovepatr already stated: "Enigma", a miniseries by GMMTV. The scene is from ep. 1, which aired on 15.07.2023 and is still available on GMMTV's YouTube channel.
