#dmd 2025 lineup

[hinmotion]

DMD 2025 Line Up is coming this February?

Thomas, Nat and James attended a basketball match today. There is a clip of their interview with these captions. Once again, after spoiling the Your Sky Fanmeeting, Thomas continued to potentially spoil the Line-up XD

I don't know enough Thai to verify this (Maybe I need some help from @visualtaehyun 🙏🙏🙏) but there is a credible translation of another interview hinting at 'something huge' will happen this month.

Anyways, I'm so excited for this! I want to know what DMD & Mandee's next steps in the industry consider GMMTV, BOC, Idol Factory all stepped up their games and even more players entered the market. I also need to know where is Zomvivor!!!!!! Also manifest for a Youtube show for all Gen to participate in. You build them around the model of K-pop, might as well commit to it, P'Aof! Don't let some of them just sit around and do nothing 🥺

[earthmixsclowderofcats]

Wow, so I guess I theoretically knew that the younger gens got more social media interaction and were more popular in Thailand but these numbers are sending me

50-60k likes for gen 1?

Max and Poppy did not show their ass for those sorts of rookie numbers

Mentkorn House Artists (that is producing Dogbro with Benzkhaokhwan and Park as supporting roles?)

RESTART THE SERIES I Official Trailer "I want to ride you."

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Whenever there's a line up event, one of the things that I'm starting to look forward to the most are the show's english names. They are always...interesting. Anyway, a lot of new stuff. They are certainly rivalling gmmtv in terms of content and the event itself. That was looooong and there were a LOT of announcements.

Before I go into new shows. We finally got a date for The Next Prince and it's April. Also Zomvivor has a new teaser and it will air...soon. Goddammit. Speaking of elusive air dates, Khemjira is also coming...soon. It's like they don't want me to be happy. I need all the horror. Your Sky of Us will be a special 3 episode event that will follow the characters into adulthood. I like the idea of seeing the couples after the show's hea so this should be nice. Now for everything else. I added link to the mdl pages and the trailers, so if you don't want my unsolicited opinions just click on the links below the pics.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Love Upon a Time - It's not exactly a new announcement but we finally got a pilot with the new cast and I really enjoyed it. I'm convinced that Net is one of those actors that can have chemistry with anyone so this should be good at least when it comes to the main couple. When it comes to fantasy thai bl, I never want to get my hopes too high because a lot of the time they tend to forgo internal narrative consistency for the sake of the romance, but either way, I will be watching this one.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Your Third - MaxNat romcom, why not? When it comes to the romance, I think they can pull it off, but the comedy? Not so sure. I don’t hate anything here, but I can’t say I really love anything either.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Mr.Fanboy - Well this should be interesting. I do like when bl goes a bit meta, so I'm looking forward to see what DMD has to say about this. AuAu and Save fans must be losing it to see them as leads, and I was surprised to see James. I thought he wasn't gonna be in any series for a while, but I'm not as well informed about these things. Interesting cast and concept. I will be tuning in.

[ MDL | Trailer ] You(r)Tuber - Do you see what I mean? These names kill me. Looks cute. Surprised to see Earth and First but nothing really excites me about this one. Oh wait, I'm wrong, there are pets and more importantly a cat. That makes me happy.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Duang With You - My crumbs have graduated and I'm screaming. I love everything about this, but honestly, I love TeeteePor. They are beautiful. I also love a shameless flirt that will thaw the heart of a brooder. So I'm winning either way.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Restart - This is giving Elite but with some extra bullying for good measure. It's also giving nakedness galore. DMD knows their audience. I'm guessing we will be seeing a lot of showers. I'm happy to see Tommy again. I'm not sure if this is exactly bl, but with the amount of naked boys in the pilot alone, might as well be.

[ MDL | Trailer ] Magic Lover – I guess it was only a matter of time for BL to start playing with magic. I mean, we're in our vampire season, so this was the next logical step. Anyway, ThomasKong are back. And Keng… I have to admit, very few actors illicit a strong reaction from me solely based on their looks, but Keng is one of them. That guy has an absolutely flawless face. I like that we have 3 different couples and I like fantasy and fated mates so I'm definitely on board.

[ MDL* | Trailer ] HUG E-Lhee The Musical - Ok, I LOVE musicals. Seriously. And let’s be real, when it comes to musicals, especially the more comedic ones, there’s always a built-in level of cringe. Which is fine. People randomly breaking into song pretty much guarantees that. But throwing BL into the mix, along with some folks who aren’t exactly great singers? That might just be a step too far for me. No shade, just a personal preference. (*no mdl page yet)

Also announced was another ThomasKong show, Unknown Lover, and a DMD Sitcom, หอตัวดี, with literally all the boys.

Well, that's everything from me. Obviously most of these will come in late 2025 and 2026. And despite everything I just said, I’ll probably still end up watching the first episodes of all the shows.

[gay-meowmeow]

[hinmotion]

About Yourtuber, I'm gonna add this my post about New's name in a now deleted behind the scenes. I bookmarked all the tweets cuz I was working but didn't save the screenshot so no proof (😔) but I think it's 90% he is directing it.

I saw that you said there would be 5 directors for the DMD line up. Do you have info on all of them? I only know The Next Prince - Aof, Your Sky special ep - Kla, Duang with You - Kla, Khemjira - Ron, Love Upon A Time - Aof. Tried to work out all the faces from the BTS pics of Magic Lover but couldn't recognize any. It seems that there are no new directors.

Hiya anon ✨ I did indeed say that 🙂‍↕️ Do I have info on all of them? Oho, do I ever! If there's one thing I'm about it's knowing who's involved in producing and directing so lemme quickly roll up my sleeves--

Before we get into this though, I need everyone to familiarize yourselves with some faces and names that'll keep coming up. I've previously mentioned all of them here, talking about the acting directors/coaches/instructors who have and currently do work with DMD. When one of them is involved, that often means you can assume the others are as well lol

right to left: Om, Fuang, Den (+his partner whose name is also Den :D)

Now! Going in order of how the shows were presented at the lineup:

Your Sky of Us - Kla (acting coach Tonnam)

The Next Prince - Aof (acting coach Den)

I've talked extensively about behind the scenes stuff but here's a funny recent clip of Aof and Den losing it behind the monitor lol

Khemjira - Ron & Aof (acting coach Den)

Here's my breakdown of the cast and directors of the show.

On the top right, where it says DIRECTOR, the clapper board reads Kittipat Jampa, aka Aoftion, and Patharapon To-Oun, aka Ron.

Zomvivor - Kla & Aof (acting coach Den)

workshop at Theatrum BKK with Fuang, Den, and Om

Love Upon a Time - Den

P'Den is directing this!

Your Third - Cheewin

Mr. Fanboy - Kla

You(r)Tuber - New

Tle said on stage at the lineup that the director's still a secret:

However!! New Siwaj attended the lineup, didn't post about it as far as I know, but fans spotted him anyway (adding @hinmotion's post here <3). Could be nothing since he's friends with Aof but since Cooheart's part of the cast and P'New commented on Tle's IG post about the show? I'm inclined to believe he's directing this one!

Duang With You - Kla

Restart - Aof

While the cast was on stage during the lineup, P'Poppy mentioned P'Aof being the director:

Magic Lover - ?

P'Cheewin commented on Jimmy and Kong's IG posts about the show but neither his nor Copy A Bangkok's accounts have posted about the show in an official manner. We'll just have to wait and see who's gonna be directing this one. My money's on Kla, Tonnam, or James, who's previously been an assistant director for Your Sky.

Hug E-Lhee - Osann (acting coach Om)

Osann was literally on stage with the the cast at the lineup event but you can also see him in Theatrum BKK's IG post about the show:

left to right: producer Gigga, acting coach Om, director Osann, + in the back holding the mic we've also got James (who I just mentioned^) so he's likely an assistant director for this show!

Me and Who - Osann (acting coach Fuang)

It's a Mandee production and the entire cast attended the lineup so I'm mentioning it! Via Fuang's IG story highlights:

2025+ and beyond announcements:

รักนี้ไม่ได้เซอร์วิส - rights bought, casting

สายรหัส Engineering: Crazy in Love - rights bought to all 4 novels, TutorYim announced for one of them but not which one (fans seem to suspect it's ฉลามไม่กินเนื้อ), Tonnam is very likely involved since he directed the previous adaptation (Buddy Line Y Animal / Dinosaur Love)

GL series - I previously posted about my excitement seeing several GL koojins and actresses attend the lineup event which could mean nothing but could also be establishing connections 👀 plus Idol Factory's Chen Kachen welcomed Aof/DMD to the world of GL via an IG story

Unknown Lover - ThomasKong announced as mains

หอตัวดี sitcom - no further info

So that's at least 7 different directors now 👏

20250226 — #SparkleXThomas

[scarefox]

Is there already a compilation post about all the new relevant things Domundi dropped? (Trailer)

[thomaskong]

Gonna be smiling to myself all day long

[laylawatchesdramas]

I want to say something...

I fell in love with DMD couples and shows (Netjj 4 lyfeee) but I was thinking about #porteetee now officially #teeteepor (i think I'm pretty sure it was announced).

Marketing wise and industry wise to satify both of them and introduce a new concept I think I would've tried to have both names honestly and market them formally as a versatile couple.

The benefits below (and yes the capitalism is heavy in this cause ofc it is they need moneyyyy):

First thing I honestly thought of was the fact that they both said they're okay with either name.

Now that TeeTee is taller (I'm pretty sure he grew taller) he now fits the "stereotype" of the naming and role assignments of BL couples.

Now in BL we can argue against a genre that's been her since the 90s and how the stereotype of smaller receiver, bigger giver (i don't wanna use the terms cause they're okay in book form for me personally but when it comes to addressing real people ina ship it's a little weird because they're not fictional).

Many couples in the industry have said they're content in their assigned roles. Some tease about it and a few speak up about the stereotypes.

The first couple I think of speaking up about reversible names in a similar fashion is YinWar/WarYin who did Jack & Joker (11/10 despite the fact that I'm half done with it ik it wont disappoint).

Even in the show they imply that (like many real life gay people) they take turns. Why this I think is important to be normalized or just introduced in BL in a massive way in shows is the fact that it can represent gay culture in the fictional idealized gay romances of BL.

Also sex wise if we're being frank between gay men (or even queer people honestly) it doesn't fall into the pseudo heteronormative rules of smaller equals woman equals reciever.

I'm a pan cis woman so I can't compare my experience or feelings of gay men, but I do listen to what gay people talk about and their praises and criticisms of the genre.

And the bigger one must be the giver because he's a man (? Its a bit confusing as the reader/writer knows they're both men but usually the reciever is regarded with more traditionally femine traits assigned to them).

I will say that PoohPavel is a great example of throwing the trope on its head as the one who would most likely be stereotypically categorized as feminine (not just for his build in comparison but also how he's deemed a nerd in the series. Wattpad bad boy &me stories amirite?) as the giver. And it's not uncommon to see the names switched depending on the content or preferences of the viewer.

So this rule from Yaoi transferred over to all the different Y series that subsequently followed. Which isn't true in real life.

Appearances doesn't dictate preferences.

I just think that it would be cool to have an official couple who adopts two names and use them both when it's needed and also normalize it amongst the fanbase so that there isn't any averse reactions. This can also work easily in press conferences and harass because it's literally the same thing and can boost engagement. (Which has been told to is what gets actors deals and rules in shows).

This also would normalize and hopefully minimize the invasive questions brought up sometimes by fans (which makes mmy skin turn inside out by saying who's the top pr bottom) or reporters at in person events.

It's like if a cis atraight woman was just approached and asked which place below she prefers insertion in (I'm censoring myself so hard).

The questions of the preferred role in bed is invasive and icky for anyone regardless of sexuality.

Most like the woman would be offended and averse to an invasive question like that.

So in this case I think it would've been refreshing to have them break the mold and create a new standard. It also helps because if fans can have two hashtags that are approved as official so even if they argue it doesn't matter.

🙏🏾 (please don't be that person)

The only exception is if the actors themselves bring it up, it's related to the work needed, or you're friends and close enough and know if sex is a topic they're comfortable speaking about.

This also gives actors the freedom from being trapped in certain roles given to them.

I'm the case of YinWar in Jack and Joker, it wasn't very obvious based on their roles. They were essentially treated and acted as equals. As the industry developed many other shows do this and expand on gender roles and interests in the heart couple, but they usually do fall into the smaller one needs protection larger one is the protector.

PoohPavel was also a shock to some when it was revealed. I'm pretty sure I was confused when I saw it (cause he was labeled alpha I didn't even know about the name I was like this isn't the Omegaverse I'm used to)

But if they established and acknowledge it and switched it up for series it might've bring in a new wave of couples and series actually experimenting with relationship dynamics and characters especially in a sexual sense so that it reflects real people.

This also can lead into capitalism.

Double the names, double the merch. 🤷🏾‍♀️

We all know the companies don't do it for the love of the game (even if they do it's worth 30% of the stocks they gotta eat somehow) and this is where capitalism comes in.

One way is to test it by having a presale or preorder system (can apply to other couples as well so win win no water supplies) to have a confirmation by selling things and seeing which combination sells the larger amount of merch and plan to sell accordingly.

Also if the slow has a specific role assignment for it that they want to use they can just make the merch in one name and maybe have a few limited edition switch versions for mega fans to get.

This sounds like I'm a villain after money but it does make the world go around and keeps the production companies lights on so 🤷🏾‍♀️ MARKETING!

Introducing and having a permanent switch couple could open doors and be good representation for vers couples in tv shows.

It also can add variety and dimension to characters.

Secret Crush On You (I'm pretty sure had a storyline like this and it was really well done in discovering what you like and don't like). Giving and showing the preference rather than having characters in a permanent designated role can help so many of the younger queer or gay people who engage in these shows as a kind of safe lgbt things (where the gays live until the end).

So in my head I'll call them both (I do it with a lot of my other couples based on the vibes I get but that's less t/b assignment but d/s assignment to me depending on my mood) but put the official name first.

After this post...

Bye!
