So this is now a BL with a new cast? (Mike is promoting the show alone at a BL event-the same one Be On Cloud promotes Shine at) It’s starting to look like no one took up the project so he changed it and is still looking for sponsors. I hope they release a new pilot to avoid confusion as so far he just keeps showing the old pilot despite cast changes (maybe he has not found new actors yet)At this point I’m 90% sure Becky and Jeff are no longer part of the project cause they are not promoting Vamp at all, not even reposting on social media.

Not you again

Some of those shows you mentioned are Korean?The only BLs I’ve truly enjoyed so far areKinnporsche, Utsukushii Kare and Semantic Error. I had hopes for Next Prince based on the trailer but that hope was crushed pretty quick😅On the GL scene I’m really looking forward ro
ClaireBell. Let’s hope we get better scriptwriting and more substance for BLs and GLs in the future🙏

I agree that many Thai shows are quite poorly written in comparison to for example Chinese shows. It is important to remember though that there is no single correct way a gay man or any queer person would behave in a certain situation. Different gay people behave in different ways in the same situation as the LGBT community is not a monolith . This next part is a bit off tangent, but just like straight people projecting their own fantasies on queer stories, I’m also a bit iffy about how feminine characters in BLs get a lot of hate from fans and get called ”heteronormative”. There are a lot of femme gays out there, so it’s weird that they are rejected by so many in BLs.

I don’t think people need to worry about not being able to understand something 100% in order to portray it (it could even be questioned whether that is even possible in the first place)I like to write about murder but have no personal experience😂So what it comes down to I guess is to try to understand different perspectives ,being respectful and not projecting too much. Many straight women who write gay fiction mostly have the issue of projecting, but that too of course is not a crime, just makes me roll my eyes😁And to be fair there exists some straight women who write queer fiction really good as well.

I feel like many BLs/GLs would actually have been better if they had just let the average fan write them and that says a lot haha

More like how a straight woman would write gay sex. In general queer women are pretty good at writing NC whether lesbian,gay or straight. Like I always know in fan fics whether the writer is queer or not based on how they write the smut lol

I feel you cause I once expressed that I don’t understand the hype around Bad Buddy and boy were the stans not happyXD

Mike mentioned sometime back that some actors left Vamp and I think Jeff is likely one of them. Mike too might have pulled out from HE in turn. I don’t follow either of the actors, but I sometimes look up what they have said about their current and future projects and they never mention each other’s projects anymore.

Everyone has their hobbies I guess😂We all know that Anawin has not been recasted. If there’s gonna be any changes in the cast it’s more likely to be Mike, since Jeff and him have not mentioned each other’s projects in ages (I doubt Jeff has time to do Vamp, so their trade off to be in each others projects might have been broken)

Is that a BOC production? If not I’m afraid the budget will not be budgeting😬

The trailer made this show look so cool. I miss being filled with hope😅

Dark romance is a very popular sub-genre.

Please let there be at least some possessiveness and obsession from Claire towards Bell without the fandom immediately whining about toxic relationships🙏

I hope this show won’t have obnoxious product placements like GMMTV shows or Next Prince. I remember KP being relatively discreet about the in-show advertising, but how common is that in Thailand?

Not to discredit this show in any way , I’m sure it will be fantastic in the category of social issue and activism drama, but when will BOC try their hand at queer high fantasy/sci-fi/horror? (Have they announced any new lineup for next year?)Give me plots far removed from everyday life😆

Besides the generally bad scriptwriting and shallow worldbuilding,I think that the problems Next Prince has partly arise from it being specifically written for the actor ship (ZeeNunew).Shows that write the script and characters first and then cast based on auditions usually end up being so much better. Actors should be tools to bring characters to life, but in many BL/GLs characters just serve as vessels to promote the actor ship. This is one reason I feel so disconnected from CharanKhanin and many other characters played by established actor combos.

I want to know which actors were replaced (assuming that Mike has a concrete enough plan for this to move from his imagination to an actual script)

How many Qs in total?

I started skipping so many scenes since a couple of weeks ago or so. It really is sad they had so much budget but none of that was allocated to scriptwriting or worldbuilding😔many scenes feel disconnected from one another or even completely unnecessary, and the balance between romance and intrigue is not good. I’m not hating on the actors, they seem like real sweet people irl, but Charan and Khanin do not feel like proper characters to me, instead the vibe is more like Zee and Nunew roleplaying as themselves. Ramil and Paytai feel more like proper characters, but even they could benefit from better scriptwriting.
