GMMTV 2023 Line Up

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Gmmtv 2025

So now, that I have time, I'm actually gonna sit and watch the trailers properly. Let's go.

Dare You to Death - The plot is appealing to me, the cast is interesting. I was never a JD fan so if I decide to watch it will be for all the ensemble and the actual plot.

Head 2 Head - My babies! Forced cohabitation my beloved. I'm gonna pretend I didn't see the vision thingy cause other than that this just seems like a cute bl, and I'm here for that.

Burnout Syndrome - OffGun in a love triangle? Gun being fought over by two men just has god intended? I am so seated for this!

Whale Store xoxo - MilkLove is back and I wanna like this one. It seems cute, and drama light. I'll probably be tuning in.

Only Friends - Dream On - The chill that came down my spine when the song started playing. I left my body. With that said, and like I said before, EarthMix is here, so who am I kidding? I will watch. Kinda surprised to see JossFluke already paired in another bl, before the first one has even started airing. OhmLeng was predictable as a recurring pair and I'm always here for Ohm. Leng has a lot to prove being surrounded by all these names.

That Summer - MOND! Mond kissing boys! That's it.

My Romance Scammer - Not in a million years did I think we would get this OhmFluke combo. Dimples is back kissing boys and Ohm is just back. And MarkJunior seem to be here to stay. Also, I love that since we got gay marriage we should immediately tackle gay divorce. Sounds good.

Melody of Secrets - I'm glad they're back playing adults although the dynamic seems to be the same. I wish they changed it up and let Book be the pursuer. I like the horror elements and we don't get enough of those but I don't know about this one.

Love You Teacher - The first half of this trailer had me. I love Perth and he's playing a grown up so I was sold. And then it happened. And I don't know how I feel about any of it.

MU-TE-LUV - I guess we're getting this and not OurSkyy3. Will watch the queers and the rest we'll see.

Cat for Cash - This is just rude. Do they know that cats are my ultimate weakness? I can't watch all these shows, but a show with talking cats? multiple of them?? C'mon. I'm not even gonna pretend to be torn about this one. I will be watching.

Girl Rules - So, Only Friends but make it sapphic. I'm sad to say, I'll probably pass on this one.

Boys In Love - PAPANG!!! The rumours were true and he's paired with Pod in this. All I saw in this trailer was that and the dimples. Who is that kid? Cause he's adorable. This is the obligatory high-school bl, it looks soft and fluffy. Might check it out.

My Magic Prophecy - I will be skipping this one.

A Dog and a Plane - What a mess of a trailer. But do I care? Not even a little. It's TayNew so I'll be watching with bells on.

Me and Thee - This show will be the true test of how shallow I can get. Will I start a show because Est was wearing glasses in the trailer? Only future me will know. Look, PondPhuwin can play, we know this, but I don't know if I want another show with them so soon. At least they're playing different roles, so there's that.

Wu - Who was saying this wasn't bl? Did you not see the golden thread? And the fate talk? And the looks? And well, everything? It's a bl. I don't know about this one mostly because I don't know the actors. Although tumblr is doing its job well and I'm this close to binging the frenemies show so maybe I'll reevaluate.

Memoir of Rati - I am so easy, it's embarrassing honestly. They so pretty, the scenery is so pretty, historical bl. Sold!

Ticket To Heaven - So many flashbacks to catholic school. It looks good, which doesn't surprise considering it's Aof. I'm glad GeminiFourth are back playing more serious roles. I am really intrigued by this one but also don't trust it completely for some reason. I don't know yet.

Yeah, I'm a sucker. I will be watching most of the first episodes of this line up in like a year when they actually get made. Probably not gonna stick with a lot of them but we'll see. As it's becoming obvious, I'm easy.

Also just a fun fact I guess, and as @lurkingshan as said here, with these shows, 4 couples will hit 5 series as a pair. OffGun, FirstKhao, ForceBook and EarthMix, even though that last one I'm counting Ossan's Love which is also not released yet.

And another thing, of the Gmmtv 2024 QL shows, 7 have yet to premiere. Thame Po, will premiere December 13 but the other six don't have dates yet. They are : My Golden Blood, Ossan's Love, The Ex-Morning, Us, Sweet Tooth Good Dentist and Revamp. So yeah, we're not gonna see any of these new shows anytime soon. Although I'm putting my money on the OffGun series being one of the first to premiere in this line up.

All the trailers and posters for gmmtv2025 can be found here.

GMMTV 2025 Riding the Wave first thoughts

We have 15 or 16 BLs, 2 GLs, one mixed het and BL and 1!!! het series. GMMTV really said we don't give a shit about straight people anymore and I'm so here for it.

Dare You to Death: Messy teen slasher meets murder mystery BL. Feels a little bit like two stories mushed together in the pilot trailer but very interesting concept. I'm quite neutral about JoongDunk but the story looks fun. Will almost certainly be watching.

Head 2 Head: Bad Buddy with fashion design students who are also car racers and one of them has visions of the future? There's a lot happening but tbh none of it really caught my attention. Haven't seen SkyKeen before and JavaSurf are new so I have zero opinions on them. I'll wait for the official trailer to make a decision about this one.

Burnout Syndrome: Love triangle kinda but make it serious. Directed by Nuchy, looks a bit darker and mature. OffGun + Dew as second lead looks intriguing especially because there seemed to be more romance shown between Dew and Gun than Off and Gun. This will probably be good. Not necessarily hyped but will definitely watch.

I Love "A Lot Of" You: The only exclusive BG show in this lineup about a guy trying to make all 5 personalities of a girl fall in love with him. Nanon and Mind of 4Eve. Looks very good actually. But it's a straight romance and so far I haven't seen anything that would make me watch anyway. Will probably not watch.

Whale Store xoxo: Down on her luck grocery store owner meets manic pixie dream girl errand girl. Happy for MilkLove to have graduated from school, MewnichJune with history looks promising. Not necessarily hyped but will definitely watch.

Only Friends: Dream On: Season 2 of Only Friends, this time centered around a theatre production. EarthMix as exes, JossGawin and OhmLeng. This is all I ever wanted. I'm so here for this. I would watch anything with EarthMix without hesitation but this has me extremely hyped. Will definitely watch.

That Summer: Troublemaker meets amnesiac prince in seaside setting. Neutral about WinnySatang, looking forward to NeoMint, hyped about MondRyu. Looks good but doesn't really catch me. Will probably be watching for Mond in a BL role finally.

My Romance Scammer: Two rich boys marrying scammers. They are making full use of marriage equality already. JuniorMark look good, Gmmtv went for OhmFluke and it's hilarious, they also look good. Looks like fun. Will almost certainly be watching.

Melody of Secrets: Mystery with murders and unreliable memories. Gives Hannibal vibes a little. (Which doesn't really work in its favour because Hannibal is on another level) Not a ForceBook fan but the plot seems interesting. Will wait for official trailer but probably watch for the fandom speculation.

Love You Teacher: Elementary school teacher who hates kids has to care for his amnesiac, age-regressed partner. Directed by Dome. Looks very fun. PearthSanta look good. They're gonna have to walk a fine line here with the whole age regression thing but I trust in Dome. Will be watching.

MU-TE-LUV: 7 Stories centered around Thai supersticious activity. Too many people in this for me to list. Will wait to see how much the stories are intertwined or if they're all separate from each other. Looks like fun. Definitely seated for the Fluke, Lego, Yacht, Neo story, the two BL stories didn't really catch my attention, some of the straight ones seemed more interesting. Will wait for official trailer for anything except the FLYN part which I'm super excited for.

Cat for Cash: Debt collector can understand cats, helps new owner to manage cat cafe. Family drama happens. I like FirstKhao but tbh the trailer bored me a little. (Pls don't kill me FK stans). Will wait for official trailer, might binge after it's done.

Girl Rules: Jojo directing basically Only Friends lesbian edition. Although mostly MilkLove and NamtanFilm seem to be mixed up, ViewMim seem to be doing their own thing. Gmmtv turning up the heat on the GL side. This looks very fun, I'm here for it. Will watch.

Boys in Love: Three high school couples and some gay teachers to round it out. Don't know any of these kids and tbh didn't even realise until the end that there were three couples. Looks like a nice high school BL, but I'm probably too old for this. Will probably watch for Podd and Papang.

My Magic Prophecy: Doctor x fortune teller with some mystery and escaping to the country side. JimmySea romance storyline didn't really catch me but the mystery plot seems interesting. 2 seconds of TeeFranc look intriguing. Will wait for official trailer but will probably watch for the mystery.

A Dog and a Plane: Scruffy first responder x prim flight attendant who's getting cheated on by his pilot boyfriend. This looks extremely fun. TayNew and MarcPoom has me seated. Jojo directing again. Second most hyped show for me. Will definitely watch.

Me and Thee: Teaching an out of touch mafia boss how to court someone. Looks like a lot of fun. PondPhuwin seem to alternate between uni and mafia, good for them. Directed by X. Will almost definitely be watching.

Wu: Probably BL but could also be bromance, the Pilot wasn't definitive but from the discussion afterwards I'm leaning towards BL. Either way, down on his luck athlete fated to protect supernatural fortune teller kinda guy. This story seems to be in its early developement stage still but SkyNani/NaniSky has my full attention and what we've seen of the concept so far looks very promising. Looking forward to this. Will be watching.

Memoir of Rati: Period BL, translator of French diplomats falls in love with some sort of nobleman. IFYLITA vibes. GreatInn are a perfect fit for a period BL. AouBoom look promising as well. Personally not a big period drama enjoyer but this looks very good. Will almost definitely be watching.

Ticket to Heaven: Return of Aof, based on real events, slight period + heavy christianity. Aof is angling for his next award with this one. Looks very good, more queer cinema than BL. Not the biggest fan of GeminiFourth but they're talented and this will be really good probably. Have to watch it for my ultimate bias Aof, anyway. Will be watching.

Overall thoughts: 16 out of 20 BL is crazy, so much for the fear that Gmmtv will switch to focus on bromance. Would have liked some more GL but what we're getting looks good. In general this lineup has me very excited. There's not a single pilot that made me instantly say "Nope" this time. Even the one single straight show which I'll probably skip, looks very good. We're getting a good variety of genres and moods as well. Also not a single remake afaict.

The new BL trend for 2025 seems to be superstition and mystery. I'm very happy with that.

All shows in order of my hypedness:

Extremely hyped:

Only Friends: Dream On

A Dog and a Plane

Excited:

Girl Rules

Wu

Me and Thee

Love You Teacher

Not really excited but looking forward to because it will most likely be good:

I Love "A Lot Of" You

[recentadultburnout]

On to the silly Thai names of GMM series :)

ไหนใครว่าพวกมันไม่ถูกกัน (Head 2 Head)-Who said they don't get along?

Burnout Syndrome ภาวะรักคนหมดไฟ-The condition of being in love with a burnout person

คุณวาฬร้านชำ (Whale Store xoxo)-Khun whale (of/from) grocery store

That Summer ผมเจอเจ้าชายบนชายหาด-That Summer I met a prince on the beach

My Romance Scammer รักจริง หลังแต่ง-In love for real after marriage

A wordplay of a phrase รักจริงหวังแต่ง-In love for real and hope to get married

ความลับในบทเพลงที่บรรเลงไม่รู้จบ (Melody of Secrets)-The secret in the song that plays endlessly

รักครูเท่าโลกเลย (Love You Teacher)-Teacher, I love you the size of the world.

MU-TE-LUV โปรดใช้วิจารณญาณในการรักเธอ-Please use your discretion in loving her.

Mu te luv is from a word มูเตลู (Mu te lu), which means something involving with superstitious. The -Please use your discretion...- is that warning all Thai show fans are familiar with.

เปย์รักด้วยแมวเลี้ยง (Cat for Cash)-Pay for love with pet cat

Girl Rules กฎหลัก...ห้ามรักเธอ-The main rule is you can't fall in love with her.

This one is a saying that means hope for something beyond one's means. It's a relatively new one (20 years? maybe???) (possibly popularized by songs. This one is in the teaser and later there is this similar phrase one (หมามองเครื่องบิน-Dog looks at airplane)).

มีสติหน่อยคุณธีร์ (Me and Thee)-Have some sense, Mr. Thee.<-kind of my fav lol

Ticket To Heaven เด็กชายไม่ไปสวรรค์-The boy did not go to heaven/The won't-go-to-heaven boy

[scrumptiousstuffs]

Thank you @firstkanaphans for tagging me in this. Also, thank you for the lovely template by @rythyme (link)

GMMTV 2025 was a lot and I’m still reeling from the series we are being bombarded. I’m not expecting we will be getting all of them released in 2025 because we still have so many leftover from 2024 that has yet to air (all the hetero? 4-5 if I’m not mistaken)

But without further ado, my very bias list of what I am most looking forward:

S tier

Cat for Cash - People who visit my blog will know I am a FK girlie through and through. Add that combination with gazillion of fluffy cats set in the prettiest, coziest looking cat cafe ever existed, I am seated. The plot is secondary. I am ready to cuddle my own cat while watching this comfort series and sip hot chocolate every week. If I have to suffer through food cat ads as sponsors for the show, so be it (but they better make my boys the ambassadors for them as well).

Dare You to Death - JoongDunk in a mystery/crime detective series? I am intrigue. This series also seems to allow Joong to be the more playful of the duo while Dunk plays the more serious detective. Either way, there is murder, mayhem and the excellent chemistry between these two. So, bring it on!

Girl Rules - This will be messy and I am sure I will be watching this with my heart thumping while I try to work out the connections between our 6 main characters. I like NamtanFilm and I have always thought View is such as under-rated actress. I am less certain about MilkLove (is this a good time to confess I drop 23:5 halfway cause I got bored by their acting?). Nevertheless, this has Jojo directing and MilkLove seems to have top it up a notch with this messy, toxic lesbian show.

A tier

Only Friends Dream On - I mentioned in a previous ask, the only way I thought OF Season 2 can work is if we have a different cast altogether in a different settings (or GL ensemble! - and I got that with Girl Rules hehe). So, this is like a dream come true x2. It also has Mix (who Jojo has mentioned will be like Boston in terms of personality?) - so yeah, I am very ready to see Mix in his slut era. Plus, Ninew is directing and he is one of the best acting coach in Thailand (and also co-directed with Jojo for OF season 1). I am less certain about OhmLeng because I think Leng is a little green but eh, we have 6 beautiful men sleeping with each other (and did I just see EarthMix humping on the theatre stage?), so I'll be happy to tune in all the horny mess.

Melody of Secrets - I have no idea what's going on and I admit I got confuse when I watch the trailer. However, it has ForceBook finally graduating from university uniforms (for good, hopefully) and we have the excellent Jan and Ploy as well. From the snippet we have of ForceBook during their cameo in Peaceful Property and as TopMew in OF, I know they can act. So, I will give this a chance.

B tier

Wu - Again, I have no idea what's happening when I watched the trailer. But the trailer showed something about fate and I see the red string of connection? I am sucker for any stories that have fate intertwined.

That Summer - It has Jojo directing. It has Satang/Winny as a lead and I have Mond kissing boys again. What more can I ask?

Me and Thee - This seems campy mafia story to me. It also has the beautiful PondPhuwin starring in this show. I can see myself tuning in without needing to concentrate on the storyline too much.

A Dog and A Plane - Again, it has Jojo directing. Plus, it has TayNew who is of the OG lineup from GMMTV. Of course, I will be tuning in!

C tier

Ticket To Heaven - Not my cup of tea. I know GemFourth are good actors and it has P'Aof directing. However, I will be watching this from the distance (via my moots who will be tuning in and flooding my dashboard with beautiful gifs)

Memoir of Rati - Also, not my cup of tea. I struggle to watch lakorn. Maybe I will give it a try if people tell me this is exceptional.

My Romance Scammer - Is it safe to say I do not connect with the 2 main couples at all?

Whale Store XOXO - I prefer MilkLove in Girl Rules (I admit I tune out when this trailer came out)

My Magic Prophecy - I have already forgotten what this is about....

Love You Teacher - They lost me when Santa regressed to 7 years old.

Burnout Syndrome - it has OffGun and P'Nuchy of Not Me fame. However, I am not feeling the vibe at all. This may change once the official trailer come out.

D tier - pretty much anything with school/university settings (I'm sorry, I am over school/university storylines, for now. The only thing I will watch on repeat that is set in a school setting are The Eclipse and MSP).

Head 2 Head - school setting (see above)

I "Love a Lot" of You - Nanon in his token straight storyline about split personalities. I'll pass.

Mu-Te-Luv - I got so confused with so many characters. Is it like an anthology? Or is it a long series of interwoven/connected storylines?

Boys in Love - Even the side couple of PoddPapang can't save it for me. I may watch their parts only?

a ranking & summary of my thoughts on gmmtv 2025

overall this was by far the best lineup from gmmtv! I would honestly watch pretty much all the shows presented, although there are some clear favorites :)

burnout syndrome: y'all ALREADY KNOW!!! of course we all wanted a darker series for offgun's new show, but... I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE DIRECTED BY P'NUCHIE!!! this is so so so iconic considering I just finished my master thesis on the political art of not me, and here is p'nuchie creating a new offgun show with gun as an artist & off as his nude muse???? HELL YES. I'm obsessed with this & so intrigued bc the trailer divulged very little so I AM SAT!!! can't wait for my new roman empire <3

ticket to heaven: I almost cried watching this trailer, it really brought all of my religious trauma to the surface lmao. no but more seriously, if written & directed correctly, this has the opportunity to enter my top 10 favorite thai dramas (no pressure or anything.) the trailer gave me a very indie feel à la ITSAY (who everyone knows I adore) crossed with the difficult queer longing of your name engraved herein. in summary, it has the potential to be everything I love & extremely heartwrenching. I'M SAT.

girl rules: the sapphic friend zone/only friends???? all I can say is YES!!! having both my crushes namtan & milk in this really does something to me, this looks messy & absolutely PERFECT!!! us sapphics deserve this kind of messy representation too lol, I love it!

whale store xoxo: a cute sapphic adult romcom is EXACTLY what I love! I also like the more lower class background of the show, and the side ship looks very cute (although my viewjune heart hurts lol) also piploy liking milk's character only convinces me further I need a kapookpiploy main gl for 2026!!!

only friends 2: y'all know I'm an only friends HATER... but of course I'll watch this just for jossgawin, they are my everything apart from offgun & namtanfilm and I'm excited to see them in this kind of role, especially gawin!

my romance scammer: this looks so fun!!! very lakorn-y plot, I'm so excited for fluke jeeratch in this as I've loved him since his first role in my ride :)

a dog & a plane: this looks SO fun & cute! I also love marcpoon so this is an automatic yes! also tay with tattoos let's gooooo!!!

that summer: that looks very cute, and mond in a bl ship playing an uncle??? of course I'm fully signed up lol

head 2 head: enemies to lovers??? sign me up, always!!! also I do really enjoy seakeen, they're very cute :)

cat for cash: this looks very cute, the first firstkhao show to entice me since the eclipse! of course you can't go wrong with cats lol, but this looks like a nice healing family drama which I always enjoy! will give it a try!

me and thee: this looks quite fun, although it seems to be the same old pondphuwin dynamic of pond always concealing his real intentions lol. but I love the over-the-top nature of it all & I'll definitely give this a try!

boys in love: I have a soft spot for high school romances, and this looked quite cute! I also really enjoyed chokun's acting in my love mix-up TH, and OF COURSE I WILL BE WATCHING FOR PODDPAPANG MY NEW FAVE SHIP!!!

dare you to death: this is the first joongdunk show that actually seems enticing to me. I like the cluedo vibes & will watch for the ensemble cast bc I love them sm!

my magic prophecy: this is the first jimmysea show that actually entices me, which, if you haven't noticed, is a pattern with this lineup! might watch it!

mu-te-luv: this was quite a chaotic trailer, but lego, neo, yacht & fluke playing a queen gang was everything I didn't know I needed LMAO. will probably give it a try!

melody of secrets: this left me incredibly confused, but at the same time this seems interesting & quite different from other gmmtv shows. I'll give it a try!

love you teacher: I think it's an interesting plot, but I'm quite scared they're gonna make it weird with santa's character being mentally 7 years old while perth sees him as his adult lover. I feel like there's a high chance there's gonna be something weird in this, especially since the trailer even aknowledges that this feels more like a bl fantasy kinda plot, so yeah... I will reserve judgement until further notice.

wu: y'all know I'm the first to defend non-bl thai dramas and say to give them a chance, but... if this was gay I would watch this. however it seems like a bromance cash grab kinda queerbaiting skynani fans & it makes me feel a bit icky. but frankly the plot seems interesting, I just feel like gmmtv is exploiting people shipping these two without actually committing to it so I don't love it...

I love a lot of you: nanon looks incredible in this & this looks fun but a little basic. I might watch, though!

memoir of rati: I always feel like I can't say this without getting unfair criticism, but seeing inn speak literal nonsensical french that even google translate would do better PHYSICALLY HURT ME. idk gmmtv's obsession with french, I get that this is historically accurate, but... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can they start actually hiring actors that speak french for these roles??? this is really bad, also no shade but certain plastic surgery faces just don't look like they could belong in 1915... that feels mean to say but it's true. frankly I would've eaten this up if it was any other ship & actually someone who can speak french, but... I might give it a shot for my babies aouboom who seem really good in this... I'm so divided & frustrated by this, UGH.

[agustdblues]

GMMTV 2025 (in the order of my interests)

•Ticket to heaven: My highlight of the night indeed I had goosebumps watching the mock trailer. Geminifourth in and as a catholic orphan falling in love with an atheist bad boy and struggling to choose between love and faith. The production and dialogues of the mock trailer itself had me shook. For a min I thought this was Your name engraved herein remake😭 this is a very bold and important topic and their acting will be very crucial. I will definitely cry a lot. Thank god Aof is doing this, we’re in good hands

•Burnout Sundrome: I kinda jumped when I thought it would be DewGun but here comes Off again😭 They can’t help themselves alright I give up. One thing about Gun is he WILL created sexual tension on screen and miss Nuchy also loves that. Plus the mock poster and the music choice in the mock trailer are sooo good. Now all they need to be is a THROUPLE I’m hyped for this !!!

•Girl rules: Did someone say dark messy only friends but make it lesbians?? WE UP!! That trailer was soooo hot🔥 Jojo, thank you so much for blessing us

•Cat for cash: FirstKhao with cats? Sign me up right now. After all those heavy plots they’re finally taking it lighter. This seems to me like a sweet slice of life story- just what I need in my life

•Memory of Rati: GMM’S FIRST BL PERIOD DRAMA!?!? If you know how much I love IFYLITA you KNOW this is made for me. Very happy to see AouBoom in a completely different setting. The trailer was pretty good- my only worry would be GreatInn’s acting. I dropped wandee goodday not even halfway in so I hope they improve themselves a lot acting wise Otherwise I’m excited about this

•That Summer: WINNYSATANG IN LEADS FINALLY THANK YOU JOJO. Also MONDRYU!? Neo and his girlfriend??? That’s really adorable. Satang is a prince, I will be tuning in😊

•A dog and a plane: TAYNEW BACK!?! A SHOCKER! No really I wasn’t expecting them to do another bl but hey I like it!! A paramedic and a flight attendant (whose captain bf is cheating) This kinda plot appeals to me so much ayyy. Also Jojo is doing this too😭 Just how many shows is he gonna make!?!?!

•My romance scammer: OhmFluke and JuniorMark as marriage scammers lmao. They wrote this script soon as the marriage bill got passed🤣 We love fresh new concepts so bring it on! This will be fun and angsty. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Ohm (back with another fluke lol) so I’m looking forward to it a lil

•Whale Store XoXo: Another one for MilkLove! with a new pair JuneMewnich!! Thank god they’re out of the uniforms now phew😮‍💨 this looks like a cute series

•Dare you to death: JoongDunk in a dark murder investigation series. I find it so funny when truth and dare games lead to murders. A good change of pace for the pair and ngl investigator Dunk is kinda😉

•Boys in love: The annual new launch series of the year. This trailer looked more convincing than the other ones I’ve seen over the years for this category Also PODDPAPANG TEACHER ROMANCE AAAAAA

•Head 2 head: SeaKeen as frenemies to lovers where one gets future premonitions?? I’m sorry I still don’t see the appeal of this pairing but maybe it was the setting and plot to blame??? I’ll wait to find out

•My magic prophecy: a real doctor as a doctor! with a fortune teller🤡 Gmm definitely put those tarot cards to use lol. JimmySea really like doing fantasies huh. The trailer didn’t really tell us much so we’ll just have to wait and see how this one goes

•Only Friends- Dream on: I THOUGHT WE WERE JOKING!? I can’t believe this is getting real😭 Its gonna be a messy theatre ensemble with gay romeo juliet. Another gig for JossGawin ayy but I don’t this I can do this again….or so I say now🤡

•Me and Thee: Pondphuwin as a soap opera loving mafia and photographer. My ao3 dash is coming alive. This seems okay- might tune in/might not🤷‍♀️

•MU TE LOVE: seven different stories about love, magic and fortune. that’s a lot of them wow. People who like watching these types of shows will enjoy it- as for me I’m not particularly keen about it💀 but maybeee I will tune in for the diva group

•Melody of secrets: Forcebook in horror?psychological drama? Again I’m not into them- and never was. Those who will watch it, have fun👍

•Wu: Skynani as supernatural soulmates. Seriously did they film this trailer yesterday itself? that did not tell us a thing💀 They’re still following the bromance line which pisses me off but ig ppl don’t care about it

•Love you teacher: PerthSanta but Santa reverts to 7 years old💀 Why. WHY would you do this??? The first few seconds of their chemistry was so nice but then infantilising Santa???? nah man just throw this out pls

•I love a lot of you: Nanon and his het show. Like quite literally the only one this time. The plot line🤡 Are they trying to remake Kill Me Heal Me? Anyways, I think this girl needs a psychiatrist instead of a lover to fix her multiple personality disorder

19/20 are queer shows!? One straight show to keep our dear Nanon employed🤣 this is shocking coming from gmm. Some of these bls are actually really appealing. Given how so many of the shows announced in 2024 are still pending, I don’t think we’ll get to see many of these till 2027💀 Specially the period dramas because the production cost will be huge. Overall I think we have a good yr ahead of us

[theselightsareblinding]

GMMTV 2025 series review

In order of how much I’m looking forward to them:

Ticket to Heaven (GeminiFourth): this combination of actors + director + themes, literally perfection, not much more to say about this series. If this goes right they’ll be doing something big, they have the ingredients to make one of the best BLs ever.

A Dog and a Plane (TayNew): as per usual with TayNew I have so many thoughts about this I could write an essay. There were things I loved about the trailer and things I’m not so sure about yet. It has Tay and New and MarcPoon which were two of the couples I was looking forward to see the most in another series so it’s a yes. And I’m so looking forward to all the bickering and the silliness.

Me and Thee (PondPhuwin): the romcom kings are back yayy. I’m so excited for this, silly shady businessman Pond learning how to flirt? I love it, it suits him so much. I’m so ready to get another 12 episodes of Pond Phuwin just being cute and funny together. And Perth Santa as a bonus? Please let them be a side couple here, I need something to look forward to, to make up for their actual series.

Memoir of Rati (GreatInn): this is exactly what Great Inn deserved, I’m so happy for them. Period dramas are not my favorite but I’ll watch if it’s interesting and this is. They’re going to do such a great job, I’m sure, and I can’t wait to see it.

Burnout Syndrome (OffGun): I feel like I should be more excited about this, I have been waiting for Nuchy to direct a new series for a long time, I’ve putting it on my wishes list every year. I guess when the expectations are too high it’s difficult to meet them. Also I despise love triangles, I can’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m watching this, there’s no way I’m not, but I hope the actual series gives me a bit more. I trust Nuchy to do a great job.

This trailer made me realize something regarding official couples. I have my favorites, who I can watch over and over in different series and still want more, like TayNew, JoongDunk… But if it’s one I simply like and they have too many series non stop I end up becoming a bit tired, it happened with EarthMix and I think it’s happening with OffGun too. Dew and Gun ending up together would be a great solution, just saying.

Dare You to Death (JoongDunk): love it, of course I’ll be watching. A bit of role reverse too, with Dunk being the stoic one this time, it’s good to keep things interesting.

My Magic Prophecy (JimmySea): this is when the continuous tarot cards started to get weird, why is this a thing now, is P’Tha into dark magic recently? Are they selling a tarot deck per bl couple? I don’t understand. Apart from that, even if I disliked how Last Twilight ended, one sure thing I got from it is that Jimmy and Sea know how to act well, and this looks great, cohabitation with a bit of fantasy and suspense, perfect.

Melody of Secrets (ForceBook): I was starting to get a bit tired of ForceBook too but their chemistry is so good and this big range change helps a lot too. And I come from watching them in Peaceful Property and I loved them there. I don’t even know what was happening or what is this about but it looked so cool, I’m definitely interested.

That Summer (WinnySatang): Yes. Not my favorite actors but they have improved so much and their chemistry too. I liked the story, the vibes, the beach. Mond’s side couple too.

Love You Teacher (PerthSanta): don’t get me started on this, I wanted to cry when I saw the fucking age regression. Before the trailer I didn’t even think PerthSanta was happening, and I was so happy because I feel like they have so much potential together, and directed by Dome, but then… I can stand children, I can stand amnesia, but Santa being 7 years old?? Why? Watching anyway but scared it’s going to get too weird.

Whale Store xoxo (MilkLove): This looks so cute, the characters suit them. Typical deceiving plot where one of them hides something the whole time (her parents own the supermarket chain that’s going to put the store out of business is what I’m guessing) but I’m not mad at it, if it makes sense to hide it.

Cat for Cash (FirstKhaotung): so cute! What FirstKhao deserve after becoming the official gmmtv high heat couple, to rest and be silly and pet a bunch of cats.

My Romance Scammer (JuniorMark, OhmFluke): I’ve never been an Ohm fan, I’m sorry. Tbh the only one actor I like here is Junior. But the plot looks soo fun, so I’ll probably give them a chance. 

I Love A Lot of You (Nanon): Nanon looks great, I love his acting and I miss him, I’m watching.

Wu (SkyNani): I guess they’re testing the waters, I’m impressed by gmmtv’s quick response on this, I was doubting they’ll be able to prepare an actual trailer for them. I don’t mind romance or bromance, they have chemistry and are good actors so I’m in. And I love stories about fate and red threads.

Girl Rules: I’ll watch everything GL and especially NamtanFilm but the Only Friends style is not my cup of tea. But very happy this exists, I support women’s rights and wrongs. 

Head 2 Head (SeaKeen): so Bad Buddy but they study fashion, and they also race cars? and one of them sees the future? I don’t feel any connection to the couple but at least the plot doesn’t seem boring. It depends, if I don’t have too much to watch when it airs I’ll watch it.

Only Friends 2 (EarthMix, OhmLeng and JossGawin): I don’t think I’m watching this, maybe, if after watching the vampire series I get infatuated with JossGawin. But at the moment none of the couples or the plot interests me.

Mu-Te-Luv: too much happening here, when the official trailer is out I’ll see if it is interesting enough. So maybe.

Boys in Love: I don’t think so, even with Papang Podd in it.

[boozles]

Okay, time to go through my bingo card for todays GMMTV 2025!

What I got:

PodPapang debut. (Boys in Love) Okay, it's as a side pairing, and the show might not have grabbed me instantly, but it looks cut enough.

TayNew series. (A Dog and a Plane) I am literally overjoyed. I wanted a new series, but I didn't have my hopes up...and it's Jojo directing! Also, Tay with tattoos - I don't know how I'll survive this. I think it's gonna be funny seeing New play a flight attendant, you know he's gonna camp it up.

JimmySea series. (My Magic Prophecy) I won't lie, I wasn't overly bothered if we got this or not; Last Twilight really pissed me off in the end, which isn't really the actors' fault, I know. However, this looks like a fun mystery and we finally get to see Jimmy play a doctor!

Marriage centred series. (My Romance Scammer) I won't lie, I'm not overly bothered about this. It's nice to see Junior and Mark in a leading role, but I could honestly not care less about Ohm and Fluke. I feel bad saying that but I just don't enjoy Ohm as an actor, and the storyline itself is a little bleh to me atm. I may be more hyped when it comes to release.

PondPhuwin series. (Me and Thee) A reverse Never Let Me Go, so to speak. I'm here for it. I have fallen in love with Pond and Phuwin over the last year and I am so excited to see them in this series.

GeminiFourth series. (Ticket to Heaven) Listen, I was practically salivating when this trailer was airing. I love Catholic themed things in anything (well, my dream career is a historian of religion after all) and I love some good Christian guilt. I am so excited to see G4 in a more serious drama and this is going to be so good.

EarthMix series. (Only Friends: Dream On) Okay, 3 main couples but I'm counting it. (More on my feelings on the show further down.)

PerthSanta leads. (Love You Teacher) Okay, I know everyone is a bit meh over this, but as long as it's not complete amnesia, I'm good. I HATE amnesia tropes, but this made me think of The Simpsons episode where Homer is hypnotised to think he's 10 years old again, and I'm here for the nonsense.

GreatInn series. (Memoir of Rati) I am so glad they got another show together. They really are so amazing to watch together, and this series looks like it's going to be very serious and devastate me.

Surprise BL pairing. (Boys in Love) ChokunAston was not one I expected! I was hoping Chokun would pop up somewhere, so this was a lovely surprise!

Period Drama. (Memoir of Rati) I think this series is going to be a hit. It's got I Feel You Linger in the Air vibes and a fantastic cast. I'm quite hyped for this.

What I didn't get:

Drake and a new partner. I mean, okay, he is in Dare You To Death with a girlfriend, but that doesn't count.

Typical high school drama. I was expecting something like High School Frenemy or Home School, but nope! And I'm not that mad, tbh.

DrakeFrank return. IT WAS A RIDICULOUS HOPE, I KNOW OKAY?!

JanMook GL I'm kinda gutted that Mook wasn't even there, from what I can tell. I know she apparently still has Friendshit Forever (which I'm really hoping gets cancelled because it sounds awful) but it looks like she doesn't have any GMMTV roles for a wee while and it makes me worried she's gonna follow Mek and leave.

ForceBook & TayNew as co-leads. A GIRL CAN DREAM.

KristSingto series. I know The Ex Morning starts filming soon, so I guess they have a lot on at the moment.

Khaotung side character. I expected to see Khaotung pop up in something and was surprised to see he isn't. Tbh the poor boy needs a rest.

LYKN members in a series. I guess with ThamePo coming out, we already have this. Plus, Lego is going to be in MU-TE-LUV.

Poly BL. Again, I can dream.

Old man yaoi. One day, my friends. One day.

Our Skyy 3. I was very surprised there was no announcement for this. I'm curious if they'll maybe throw it together in the New Year.

OTG+N series. It's been AGES since these 4 worked together in a series, so I was kinda hoping for something, but I'm not broken hearted or anything.

AouBoom leads. I'm very surprised this didn't happen. I mean, I'm happy to have them in Memoir of Rati and get to see them in more serious roles, but I feel like this was a missed opportunity.

Some lovely bonuses that made me happy:

PeBaCA concert I never watch the concerts live, but this was a nice wee surprise. The original trinity, back together again!

FirstKhaotung series I didn't even include this because I didn't think we had any chance of another FK show until wayyyy next year. AND ITS GOT CATS. AND SATANG. I am so fucking hyped.

SkyNani series. I know we don't know if it's a BL for sure, but for now I'm gonna pretend it is. Everyone wants it. However, even if it's bromance I'll devour it. (It's the string of fate, it's gotta be a BL, right?)

SO MANY MYSTERY SERIES I LOVE crime/detective mystery shows, and I am so fucking excited to have so many be queer!

Only Friends SEASON2. No, y'all don't know the sound I made when I saw Boston. Like, I was already sold on this weird mess before he showed up, then I was like OMG WE'RE GETTING REAL MESSY. I am so fucking hyped.

Ooft! I think today was a success! Thoughts?

[crispywizardtale]

GMMTV 2025 RANKING (MY OPINION)

WU The Series

SKYNANI SERIES!?!?!?!? HECK YEAH. It's quite obvious that this plot trailer was rushed as there is only one scene in it. Either way it is going to be amazing because SkyNani is in it and because it has fantasy elements in it as well as red string so this being a BL is high possibility.

Imina SkyNani. Imina NaniSky.

Melody of Secrets

My ForceBook got another series in my favorite genre. I grew up on criminal series so having my absolute favorite actors play in one is something I will never get over. The plot looks incredible and the acting in it was amazing. I am so glad they got a great director and I am so glad they got something so different from their usual roles. I will never get over the fact that this and original work and that the CEO himself asked for ForceBook to act in this series l.

Ticket to Heaven

THAILAND IS DOUNG A SERIES ABOUT MY RELIGION?!?!?! EXCUSE ME?!?! I'm excited!! I am sure they will make us villains, but it's GeminiFourth, so I might forgive them even if they do. Everything else looks great especially the church they are in and the robes that the priest is wearing. I'm excited about it.

Dare You To Death

My boys JoongDunk keep on delivering. Enemies to lovers?!?! AS DETECTIVES NO LESS!! I love myself some good murder mystery. I loved the push and pull dynamic in the trailer and i love the roles they will have.

My Romance Scammer

What do you mean Ohm got paired with Fluke?!? A different Fluke, but Fluke nonetheless. And JuniorMark?!?! Win win for me. I loved Ohm since UWMA came out and I watched his series so I have to watch this one as well. Plot wise I think it one of the best ones he had (UWMA and Room 609 deserve to be mentioned). I love how different the story it. Usually they make fake marriages, but not scam ones so I am so in for it. I just find it very interesting and I want to know how they will play it out.

Memoir of Rati

PERIOD DRAMA!!!!!! WITH GREATINN!!!!!! I love I Feel You Linger In The Air and this has some very nice similarities with it. The plot is very interesting and wonder how they will pull it out since it is their first period series.

Girl Rules

What in the female only friends was that?!?! Yes to the mess give me more!! I love how messy they are making this years series and this one probably takes the crown.

Only Friends Dream On

MESS. That's is it. Boston showing up in the trailer just signals what kind of mess it will be. JossGawin I'm super excited for you.

Whale Store XOXO

MilkLove? Yes please. Finally something cute. Everything else is either a mess or a murder mystery so this will fit well in between.

Me and Thee

Not a huge PondPhuwin stan but damn does this look good. I love mafia stories so this too fits my taste perfectly. I am already in love with the tattoo Pond will have. Very interesting and I will definitely watch it.

A Dog and a Plane

I'm for anything TayNew have for me especially a BL. It will be interesting to watch. Tay acting like an asshole while New is desperate to save his relationship. Also caption and flight attendant relationship?! Genius.

Magic of Prophecy

GMMTV HIRED THE SIGN DIRECTOR?!?! WTF GMMTV!!! I am more excited for the director than the series because it's all I can focus on at the moment.

Mu-Tu-Luv

Interesting concept and will definitely watch few of the stories while probably skip the other ones

Head 2 Head

Another enemies to lovers with forced proximity! I do love me some enemies to lovers. Looks good and looks promising but we shall see.

Cats For Cash

Will just say CATS. (as a huge cat person)

Burnout Syndrome

Finally a love triangle series with some red flags in it.

Love You Teacher

What the heck if this plot?! Am I the only one who finds this super weird???

That Summer

Controversial but here i am.

Boys in Love

Not interested. That trailer gave me nothing sorry.

The Love of Siam: The Musical

Nope I don't like musicals.

gmmtv 25 ql musings :0)

ok so gmmtv went into oprah mode and said you get a series you get a series you get a series you get a series you get a series you get

Dare You to Death

JoongDunk said "no, we are not turning in our fake guns after the THK shoot". i like their sexy and cheeky flirting, it fits them. and speaking of things that fit... that slim cut suit, it really fits Dunk 😜

i like the plot, with the slasher, mystery, whodunit vibes... and i liked seeing the new faces as side characters (the victims, more like) especially Ohm and Pahn.

Head 2 Head

i dont know anything about these actors. apparently they are beloved enough to get a second series but i never saw anyone i follow talking about them, ever. most of the time i watch series through my following's incessant posts lol but w them, i am in a blind spot. and it seems that will stay the same w this series as well.

Burnout Syndrome

hey, did anyone see my wig around? it seems i lost it the moment this trailer come on?

when it first started i was like WAITTTTTTTTT am i getting that SATC Gun series by Jojo but the mood was too mellow for him. but the universe had even better plans for me. i am not embarrassed to admit i DID a little jig when Nuchy's name came on the screen. maybe God is real because all the collective praying about OffGun working again w Nuchy paid off. i am attracted to Off always and forever but he is even hotter through Nuchy's lens like she knows how to serve him up... Cold, sexy, confident, smoking Off... Call boy Gun, a love triangle, just mess all around. The way it already looks like not a pilot but a final trailer. Thank you for your service Nuchy, you are unmatched. I will be tuning in every week with drinks and snacks.

My girls MilkLove out of the uniforms, now that's a sight i like to see. i like that this time the main plot is more relatable to me: nightmare that is being in your 20's. very cute without being saccharine and i like when Love gets flirty. and no comments about Milk licking cat food, i understand how lesbian flirting can get very strange.

Only Friends : Dream On

can i just say upfront, the trailer was just gorgeous?? i loved the perfectly choreographed beginning. i was watching it with my mouth wide open, just trying to register all the information. and it DID look like a fast paced ensemble theater play. very meta haha

siren Mix in a frilly shirt, Earth in those glasses, Leng twinking it out, Ohm playing the saxophone???, JOSSGAWIN again, that Challengers ass music, everyone in those slutty tank tops and see through shirts, BOSTON my favorite troublemaker showing up just to bless this mess... i wish i can delete this from my memory and be gagged again and again and again

i love Only Friends' chaos and i think its stupid to take these messy shows THAT seriously. even though there is a hefty amount of loud shipper fans demanding for their fav actors to ONLY play morally good characters, ONLY in their brand pair, i ADOREEEEEEE that they didnt back down and doubled down on this entagled, morally gray mess with even more beloved actors to piss off more delulus... yes, I will be tuning to the mayhem on the screen and on the social media every week.

also, cant wait for the rock theme song sung by Gawin, bc they would be stupid to not do that!!!!

EDIT: lmaoooo i thought, as the trailer had lots of Jojo-isms (he loves his Shakespeare and energetic trailers), he would direct this but he will be only the producer (i was actually surprised he would come back to this project as some people act like he killed their dog because the series ended in an disappointing way). so, okay, WHOOOO is the director then bc i didnt catch it?

That Summer

hmmm, okay. these unrelated plots piled over each other sounds exhausting to me, like here is an unruly kid sent away to get disciplined, then someone gets washed up ashore, identity mystery, then he turns out to be a PRINCE, there is mystery behind that too?? i am not smart enough for this… but i am sure WinnySatang will improve as a duo and actors even more w this project.

that shot of Satang holding up a pair of undies with abject horror on his face did make me genuinely cackle like, i love Satang's comedic timing (his performance was one of the best things about We Are).

alsooo, Neo must be the luckiest BL actor ever bc while some actors get flack for breathing next to a woman, he gets to not just openly be w his gf but also star in series w her now. i mean, i am glad for him, that's how it should be. and i cant believe i have to defend heterosexuality because of insane delusional fans.

My Romance Scammer

i love that after the wake of Thai Marriage Equality, instead of going full on romance drama about the sanctity of marriage with sentimental vibes... GMMTV decided to make a slapstick romcom about scammers using marriage law to deceive and steal. Love that. Big brained shit haha. I dont really care for these actor pairs but who knows... Plot made me laugh and I like being surprised.

Melody Of Secrets

i know this might sound VERY stupid but the reason ForceBook sometimes feel repetitive isnt just they keep playing the same dynamic (stoic Force, innocent Book) but also because they LOOK repetitive. they seem to always have the SAME styling, same makeup and even the same hair. Let's change it uppp, someone slap some fake tattoos on Book or put them in leather or something. Or at least, give me Force's long prince hair from Enchante back...

but I do like they went darker w the plot this time! and Jan looks hot and all serious in this role, i will be skimming to get to her scenes.

Love You Teacher does this count as born sexy yesterday lol? only BLs can get away w these weird plots, its their charm. i dont know if can watch this though as i still suffer nightmares from my teaching English to kindergarten & primary era. i felt it deeply when he was screaming about hating kids lmao (i DONT. but that teaching in a exploitative school really tests your mental health).

but as always, happy to see Sammy!!!! hope her screen time will be even more than the trailer and i love that it features an established couple, we dont get them often.

Mu-Te-Luv

every time i thought the trailer ended, new actors showed up. i am positively confused but kind of intrigued. and also positively gagged by Neo in that wig. happy to see Fluke, Lego, my queen Jan. also GMMTV dont play about OhmLeng, didnt foresee that, wow...

Cat For Cash

not for me but i feel like this specifically was made as a compensation for the ones who shipped FKT in Moonlight Chicken and were disappointed w the crumbs. I am sure FKT will have the time of their lives with surrounded by all those cats but filming with animals is a such a pain in the ass so i wish patience and luck to the crew...

Girl Rules

more like, girls rule, am i right :dddd the messy ensemble GL we were begging for finally arriving by Jojo himself........... NAMTAN AND LOVE KISSING??????? confident, kinda asshole-ish playgirl Milk?? Love bouncing on Milk to make out against a wall???? like did you read my diary or something??? also i cant w Film's name being Bambi... yeah, look at her, she is Bambi.

we know MilkLove and NamtanFilm will BRING it but curious to see ViewMim as well!!!

Boys In Love

GMMTV said "we have BEEN doing Heartstopper way before Heartstopper but just in case you forgot, here is us doing Heartstopper again." very cute, very lively. happy to see they decided to forgo the uniforms and opted for a pastel, colorful styling. that way, it does differ from other high school bls aesthetics-wise and it fits the youthful tone. PoddPapang as the sides... maybe it was too ambitious of us to imagine them getting mains immediately, they had just let been out of the basement, might take a while to get used to the sun and all...

what the fuck is up with that lazy title tho?

My Magic Prophecy

maybe bc it came on when i was at the point of "when is this showcase endingggg" but i am not feeling this. but glad to see jimmysea not separating this year and acting in a series w a layered and intricate plot again. plots wise, they really do have one of the most varied filmographies a BL couple could have.

A Dog and A Plane

so Jojo wasn't joking when he said he would have a sweet love story for 2025. Tay with those tattoos, New as a flight attendant, MarcPoon being lil weirdos again, the guy from LYKN, OAB??????

this kind of comedy is perfect w Jojo's fast pace. i can see like, remnants of maybe The Warp Effect but mostly i think this is a new territory for Jojo. its fun to see his evolution as a director and i trust his vision for this show as well.

Me and Thee

people asked and cried and begged for Phuwin to be the one pursuing Pond for once and GMMTV deliberated on it and said, "No. But you can have Est in a suit." Okay, that last part was for me. I decided to imagine this is the new gig of Est's character from Naughty Babe.

i think this is a great role for Pond bc he is perfect for goofy comedies (see Dirty Laundry), maybe because he is goofy and funny in real life too haha.

Wu

i think it would be hilarious if this turned out be another bromance...

Memoir Of Rati

period drama is a good choice for both couples but like. literally fuck everything else, did you see how Aye looks GORGEOUS in those period costumes??? are you kidding me?????? looking that good and she is playing the black cat lmaooo i wish she had her own couple so would have more screen time :(

yes, i am focusing on my attraction to Aye to suppress my rage about AouBoom being put into side couple prison again.

Ticket To Heaven

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh this eatsssssssssssssss. do i need to put that bald ariana gif again?

sometimes BLs do tackle heavy subjects but kind of shy away from fully opening up discussions (it happens a lot w SA and homophobia). glad to see this series going full on w the themes of religious guilt, homophobia, figuring out and developing your sexuality in an hostile environment, complex relationship between queerness and faith. and ofc Aof and GeminiFourth are skilled enough to pull it off. excited for this one. what a perfect one to finish this exhaustingly long showcase.
