Glad to see GMMTV finally came to their senses and diversify their lineup instead of limiting themselves to only BL series. Can't wait to see Pat in a series. She was so good in Dalah: Death and the Flowers.

It takes at least a year to film a movie, and that's not counting post-production. The teaser pilot was released at the end of 2023, and since it's a collab with iQIYI, it's possible they started filming shortly afterwards.

We have to wait TWO MORE MONTHS?!? Why is BOC torturing us?

Really? Because I heard they just started filming last month, and that Mos got injured while filming.

They haven't started filming yet, and I don't think they even have a script ready. Currently, there are several projects that have started filming, so chances are DYTD may not start filming until the end of this year. As for Drake's replacement, I wouldn't worry. GMMTV has signed a bunch of new young artists, so it'll probably be one of them.

Yeah, I get it. It's a shame, because the novel was promising, but when they brought it to the small screens, it's like everything fell apart.

Still, I hope GMMTV won't give up on them. They might not be the most popular CP, but they're both good actors.

It sort of reminded me of Star In My Mind, Joongdunk's first series. One of those hardly original, not the best but not the worst series that didn't have the best planning and directing, but hey, you stick around because you liked the CP. I'd say not bad for MarkOhm's first series, though I sure hope GMMTV gives them something better next time.

It had a good start, but then the direction just... scattered. Sadly, the show was overshadowed by other more hyped-up shows like Break-up Service, My Golden Blood, Leap Day, and Boys in Love. It's too bad GMMTV didn't make more effort with this show. The cast gave it their all, but the storyline is just all over the place. There's potential with MarkOhm, and I wish them all the best in their future projects.

If they're following the novel, then there should be quite a few steamy scenes.

I know couples in dom/sub relationships and this ain't it. Both parties are equal in standing, and they have to be in agreement with whatever arrangements they have in the relationship. Whatever that's happening between Ramil and Paytai isn't that. There is some serious power imbalance here. Despite Ramil's attitude towards Paytai, Paytai is first and foremost a servant of the Phuchongphisut family. That means he doesn't have a say in whatever role he plays as in Ramil's life. That's not a relationship is supposed to be like.

HA! This is nothing compared to what the My Golden Blood page used to be. It's troll war zone over there.

Ambiguous ending? In the final chapter, Ramil became ruler of the eastern kingdom and he took Paytai with him. However, it was implied that their relationship status didn't change. Ramil is still the one in control, and Paytai is still going with whatever Ramil wants. In one of the bonus chapters, Khanin and Charan encouraged them to be honest with how they feel about each other, but we don't know if they've taken their advice.

Though from the looks of it, DMD added a lot of new material for the Ramil/Paytai storyline, so there's no telling how they'll turn out in the series.

So, in the novel, Emmaly is described as a country where the people are extremely loyal to their partners. Once they've found their partners, it's for life. That bond is sacred to them. This is probably why they don't remarry or find another partner when one of them dies. That tradition is gradually changing, as it was mention that, after Khanin's mother died, the king has tried to match Prince Tharin (Khanin's father) with someone new. However, he never remarried, and has been alone until Khanin came back to Emmaly.

Finally got around to watching this. I have to say, while waiting for a DMD series is more painful than pulling teeth, they certainly have a high standard in quality. I can tell they've put in an effort with the locations, the costumes and the storyline. I'm really glad they're finally able to release this, even if I had to wait almost 3 years for it.

I don't know if that bed scene is a flashback or Paytai's fantasy, but it looks like their relationship wasn't always this imbalanced. I think at one point, Ramil really loved him, but with their difference in status, Ramil's responsibilities, abuse from his father, and the stress to win the competition, he changed. With that, their relationship also changed. Paytai looks like he's stuck between wanting to get out (even though he can't) and wanting to stay because he knows Ramil doesn't have anyone to support him. It feels less like a dom/sub relationship and more like a relationship that turned abusive, but that's just me.

Then again, we're only five episodes in, so maybe things will change later on. The Ramil/Paytai storyline has changed significantly compared with the novel, so I'm curious to see how things will turn out for these two.

Finally got around to watching this. If The Middleman's Love is a career-killing disaster, then Battle of the Writers is the redemption. There are some flaws here and there, but it's a huge improvement from TutorYim's last series. I'd say BOTW is especially challenging, as the actors had to play double roles (IRL self and their story characters), but overall, they did a good job. Both Tutor and Yim definitely have a great deal of acting potential, and I hope DMD won't let them go to waste.

Loved the first episode, but right now, all I can focus on is the OST! Louis, Ford and Fluke should totally form a trio.

If GMMTV only cares about money, they wouldn't have filmed Hide & Sis, and start production on The Dark Dice and Scarlet Heart. Although their BL dramas get a lot of attention, they also understand that BG dramas dominate the entertainment industry as a whole. So, they'll still keep cranking out BL dramas, but they'll never limit themselves to only BL. Plus, it won't be good for their artists' growth if they're confined to jobs within a single genre.

Ooh, then I can't help you there buddy. We were talking about the YT trailer.

The gym scene. Maybe about 1 minute into the trailer? He's the trainer.
