The Heart Killers

JoongDunk and FirstKhaotung get to be gay and do crimes in this crime-based romcom and I need this the same way I need oxygen, thank you very much. (And Oxygen is one of my favorite BLs!) Cannot wait, am in love, please give this to me and let them be criminals the way they deserve to be. @absolutebl They gave us a gift!

Guys!!! Supposedly we only have one more month until the 2nd 2024 announcement from GMMTV. Accordingly: Give me your guesses and hopes what new shows we will get. I am SO curious what everyone thinks and so excited myself. Can't tomorrow be April already?

[pharawee]

My Gear and Your Gown will be taking over for Only Friends next Saturday and tbh this totally feels like gmmtv is testing the waters again for MarcPawin 🙏

No Midnight Museum Season 2??????

[lunabug2004]

I never really noticed how absolutely toxic some BL fans are... esp on Dramalist.

I feel like it didn't used to be this way cuz I've always used this site for my drama knowledge but I feel like now I'm just seeing hate and rumors being spread.

Maybe this is just because I've been looking at the GMMTV 2024 pt 2 shows (trying to figure out which ones sound interesting to me) and since they're not out yet ppl are just being crazy in the comments but idk.

Like all I wanna do is see if people are excited for the new Gem4th and FirstKhao (just watched The Eclipse and fell in love immediately) shows and the KristSingto comeback... why do I have to see all this unnecessary nastiness???

Either way, whatever the reason, I don't get it and absolutely hate it! I normally like looking at comments but I guess not anymore! 😭

[pondphuwin]

ok so gmmtv 2024 pt. 2 april 23. where is the markohm gang. we need to Manifest a series

[asterdust]

my gmmtv 2024 pt 2 anticipated shows post (as an excuse to talk about kristsingto onscreen comeback)

Leap Day - Aside from being a babii and a Gun Atthaphan protector, I've recently come to like Pond lately. The premise is intriguing and I'm excited to see Gun play an autistic character!

Ossan's Love TH - EARTHMIX GOT HARUMAKI DOWN TO A PAT. Not to mention a veteran actor acting alongside our Earthmix to complete my old men yaoi recipe!!!

Us The Series - I'VE RALLIED FOR EMI TO BE CAST IN A WLW SERIES EVER SINCE I SAW HER ACT. THE SEVERE CASE OF GAY FACE SHE HAS, UR HONOR. the trailer was also shot beautifully and the actresses's chemistry is really good.

The Heart Killers - I see the vision. I see 10 Things I Hate About You. I see FirstKhao being insanely hot and horny for each other again. I see Jojo Tichakorn conceptualising this after working with FKT the first time. I see JoongDunk in a new light. I am simply too seated.

The Dark Dice - As a fan of the genre, I guess I'll be watching. I kinda want their first death game show to be queer though but since this is Gem and Prim, no questions asked! And most importantly, Aungpao employment! I've missed him too much.

Break-Up Service - A Parbdee production? Off Jumpol? Let's get it.

The Ex-Morning - Can I just say that I wouldn't be here if not for Peraya? Got me super obsessed with Pink Milk, got me watching all their shows despite not being a pair anymore. I'm glad I'm not one of those people who believed whatever the internet has said about Krist. I just don't give a fuck 😭 Plus, anyone would be mad if u keep pressing on their sexuality lmao. I rewatch Sotus yearly like a ritual. Of all pairs who returned on screen after their first rodeos, they're the ones I'm excited about and waited a long time the most. And The Ex-Morning's flavor is just so???? Exes to lovers? Sign me tf up!

Ranking My Interest in GMMTV2025 BLs/BL-adjacents/Bromances (pt. 2)

Click here for Part 1 (Not Interested, This Could Work, and Bronze Tiers)!

Silver

These are shows that seem more interesting then the average GMMTV series from 2024's lineup. These are either stories I've not seen done before in BL (or at least at GMMTV), shows with bolder storylines, and/or shows with a stronger cast of actors or higher production quality than the ones in lower tiers.

Only Friends: Dream On | EarthMix, JossGawin, OhmLeng, Neo

Me and Thee | PondPhuwin, PerthSanta

Love you teacher | PerthSanta

My Magic Prophecy | JimmySea

Gold

These are all shows that look a cut above the typical GMMTV BL. I feel like each of these has potential to be individually great, but A LOT would be riding on a couple very particular aspects (I note what those aspect are for each show below)

Burnout Syndrome | OffGun, DewGun

A lot's riding on whether GMMTV will be bold enough to give us DewGun and the arthouse vibes of the opening sequence.

A Dog and A Plane | TayNew, MarcPoon

As long as we stay focused on Tay and New and the romance doesn't take too long to develop, we could be in business.

Boys in Love | LukeMick, ChokunAston, KenPaul, PoddPapang

Given that the entire main cast has never had a lead role (and how young they are), I am skeptical of if the acting talent is there to carry us through what is a very classic and well-trodden path for hs BLs. They need to prove that they can be just as expressive and comfortable-feeling as, say, a Fourth in MSP or Progress in LoveSick 2024.

Wu | SkyNani

The only reason this isn't in the Platinum Tier is because I'm like 90% certain this isn't even a bromance, let alone a BL. I think GMMTV is seeing the reaction to HSF and playing into it despite the fact that Nani clearly does not want to do BL lmfaoooo. /hj

Platinum

This is a BL (yes, there's only one Platinum Tier showing) I cannot see not going well. Like everything from the plot, to the mise en scene, to the acting CLINIC showcased in the trailer by one of the leads gives me so much excitement. I will be so shitty if GMMTV finds a way to ruin what looks to be one of the best BLs in YEARS.

EVERYBODY PAUSE I GOTTA FOCUS. IM SHIFTING INTO CLOWN MODE. SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT BOTH JIMMYSEA AND P'AOF HAVE FOLLOWED HER????????????? OKAY ALRIGHT OKAY ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT OKAY ALRIGHT COOL I SEE

SO WHAT IF. HEAR ME OUT. WHAT IF I SAID JIMMYSEA AS INTHU AND THAPFAH FOR THE FORTUNE TELLER NOVEL DIRECTED BY P'AOF REAL. WHAT IF I SAID THAT IN SAID NOVEL THAPFAH HAS A SISTER WHO’S ALSO FRIEND WITH INTHU SO ACARE COULD EASILY PLAY HER. WHAT IF I SAID THAT MAYBE THEY HAD ALREADY FILMED THE TRAILER FOR GMMTV 2024 PT 2 (WHEN THERE WERE VERY STRONG EVIDENCE OF IT HAPPENING) BUT THEN SEEING HOW POPULAR JIMMYSEA AND LAST TWILIGHT GOT THEY DECIDED TO PUSH BACK THE RELEASE SO THEY COULD FOCUS ON FANMEETS. WHAT IF I SAID THAT THE FORTUNE TELLER THEME FOR THE OISHI GREEN TEA HOKKAIDO CORN FLAVOR 0% SUGAR EVENT WHERE JIMMYSEA WERE BRAND AMBASSADORS WASN’T A COINCIDENCE. WHAT IF I SAID THAT WE’RE CONNECTING THE DOTS AND INTERPRETING THE SIGNS

WHAT IF

[sollucets]

delighted to inform you that this 信 is. uh. backwards. perhaps this is in fact why he doesnt trust his tattoo artist

[heretherebedork]

If they're just looking for plots, I can help with that! But also lol at them outsourcing the plot ideas to the fans. That's kind of amazing.

an actual photo of me summoning gmmtv 2024 pt. 2

[stupidcupidsposts]

my first impressions of gmmtv 2024 pt. 2 shows (and judging them by how likely I'd tune in to watch them)

Us The Series - i am not really familiar with the main leads but from what I've seen their chemistry is really good. The film style is giving artsy and indie but the production quality seems high. The plot looks interesting to me, it's the only one that really speaks to me. I have faith that the actual show will be amazing! It is the only gl drama of Pt. 2 😭 but at least it will be a good one! 1000/10 will definetely watch!

Ossan's Love Thailand - this is only so high bc I love earthmix. The plot is interesting and I love that earth plays a more loser like character hahaha. I know it's a remake and I want to watch the og before the remake, but where can I watch the original?? 10/10 will watch

Hide & Sis - a family/mystery drama where women are the main protagonists? Count me in. 10/10 will watch.

Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist - markohm finally get their own series!! I know many wanted a heavier theme but I'm still satisfied with a cute one! And Jimmy plays the love rival?? It's a last twilight reunion hahaha. 10/10 will watch

The Ex - Morning - I've never watch a KristSingto BL before even though they're one of the og's. 😅 Plotwise this might be the most interesting bc it's about rekindling a relationship. I plan to watch sotus before the new series comes out. 10/10 would watch

Break Up Service - This show is going to be so funny I just know it. Tbh I don't think I've watched a straight gmmtv drama before but this one got me hooked! 9/10 would watch

The Heart Killers - we got the mafia comedy that we wished for. Problem is that I really love firstkhao but I've never been interested in joongdunk (or their series) at all. I'll still watch ofc, and maybe this influences me to get into joongdunk. also first is a tattoo artist in this one 👀 8/10

Revamp The Undead Story - it's gay vampires with bounprem. I am interested. I am also interested in how bounprem are doing in gmmtv. Hopefully they get promoted well. 7/10 would watch

Thame - Po: Heart That Skip a Beat - I don't know any of the actors and the plot didn't immediately catch me. But the leads to look cute together so I'll probably watch. 7/10 would watch

Every other series, I am too tired and too lazy to think and rank them lol. But they're not sing special imo. Leap day has a kinda interesting plot but I don't think that makes me want to watch the series. I am afraid that it will be boring and or the actors won't deliver. Perfect 10 liners is kinda disappointing. I like forcebook so I might tune in to see more of them together. But why are they in a uni setting again after a show like only friends?? The other pairs seem fine, but tbh I would have preferred just one couple (and that has to be forcebook) i tend to overlook dramas with a big ensemble cast. Friendship forever might be the biggest disappointment of the year. They should've just made the show gay. Tbh when I first watched the trailer the subs weren't working and till the end I thought maybe they'll turn this into a gl always though the series then I opened twitter /tumblr and my optimism flew out the window. The dark dice - I love gemini but the plot is something that I've seen in multiple dramas and rn I have enough of survival games. Sorry buddy, I'll probably won't watch. Leap day was kinda hard to understand for me but whatever. Scarlet heart Thailand made tu tontawan look so pretty. But I snooze. What's even the plot? And too much men, even though I like some of them.

[gaiaxygang]

they should announce gmmtv 2024 pt 2 soon before i start writing my own scripts for them

Change2561 Changing Project Lineup 2024 Showcase

I've made posts about GMMTV 2023 and 2024 (pt 1 & 2) trailer reactions but I don't tend to watch other companies' trailers because 1) some shows I'm excited about might not end up happening and 2) even if it does happen... might take 2-3 years lol. We're impatient about GMMTV's output timing but at least they usually release all their shows and withint 1.5 years of the pilot trailer since they're a big enough company with a System.

Change2561 seems to fall into that category as well, since they're kind of like GMMTV's sister company as they're a subsidiary of GMM Grammy? I'm not 100% certain, it's what I've gathered from people's comments. So I think there's a high change we'll get the shows + in a timely manner. I'm excited!

Also, I'm not watching this live, so I know what the shows are + very basic premise.

Rankings:

Most Anticipated:

Goddess Bless You From Death: suchhhh a good trailer and sounds right up my alley, I'm really hoping for a miracle with strong script + acting + cinematography. Currently one of my most anticipated BLs in general.

I'll Watch Depending On Reviews

Affair: let's go rich/poor GL!

Pit Babe S2: please no mpreg, I can't do pregnancy storylines at allll

I'm The Most Beautiful Count: looks hilarious and I like the time travel concept, but I've never been keen on shows with many suitors (even love triangles can get too much for me), so I'll see how it goes.

Hmm

This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans: idk, maybe I'll watch it if it receives lots of praise

Trailer-by-trailer thoughts below the cut.

Title: This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans

Pair: Sailub/Pon

Thoughts: It was released like a month ago but I didn't feel the desire to watch the trailer then and now that I've tried watching the trailer... idk, I don't really care. I was quite into Jeff/Alan in Pit Babe before souring on them in the later episodes and maybe that's bleeding into this. I skipped some of the scenes after the 2 minute mark, long ass trailer. I'll watch it if people Love it.

Title: Affair

Pair: idk but it's a GL :)

Thoughts: Girl, a 7 minute trailer?! I watched like 3 minutes. I'm into it, it's a boss's daughter/maid's daughter forbidden romance across class status. The leads are cute together. I'll add it to the watchlist and hope it's good

Aside: It's from a novel by Chao Planoy, who's also the author of GAP, Blank, Pluto, Us, My Marvellous Dream Is You, and more. People on twitter hate this author so bad, talking about how her books are really problematic and they're always glad when the plot is changed in the show but I also never quite know why they call her problematic, like okay Blank has a big age gap but I'm interested in the show because of said age gap so... lol I guess. Anyway, hope the shows are good, idc about the novels necessarily because many BL novels are also bad or 80% smut or with 0 plot or whatever.

Title: I’m The Most Beautiful Count

Pair: Suppanut harem haha but endgame Ping/Nut?

Thoughts: Nut had a real-life boyfriend for like 7 years, right? Love to see out actors being employed. Oh, a kathoey character.

This is so fun lol Long ass trailer again but I watched most of it cuz too much was going on. I'm not fully sure I'll watch it but it's interesting for sure, mostly for the main character + time travel concept. I don't really care for shows with many different people fighting for the affections of one person. Although people are excited about harem possibilities, I don't know I think it'll end with Ping/Nut rather than harem endgame.

Title: Pit Babe The Series 2

Pair: Pooh/Pavel

Thoughts: I didn't know a season 2 was on the table but I saw an interview with the crew that apparently they just thought of different scenarios over lunch one time for fun and that's how it was born lol. Starting the trailer with the minor bad guys from season 1 in prison and fighting is objectively hilarious. Kenta I fucking love you, I'm sad we won't get Pete/Kenta. Not the Mama/Papa again, please no mpreg plsplsplspls no T.T I don't know if I like that people who were killed in the first season are back again hmm. Again, long trailer so skipped a lot in the second half but watched enough to get the gist + no mpreg in the trailer at least lol. I'd be curious to watch it since I've already watched season 1 but I'll first listen to reviews saying whether it's actually good

Title: Goddess bless you from death

Pair: Pooh/Pavel (or is it Pavel/Pooh in this one? Update: based on some tiktok comments, it's still PoohPavel based on the novel hah fun either way), side couple Michael/TopTen (North/Sonic in Pit Babe)

Thoughts: Watching this one last even though it was released 2nd-last because from the title and poster and people's comments about it being dark, I think this could be my favourite of the trailers. and omg I was correct, it's suchhhhh a good pilot trailer, what the heck?! It's dark and actually gory and scary, I'm sooo excited, it's now one of my most-anticipated BLs.

Also, I'd previously seen this post on r/ThaiBL about the author of this novel wanting Pooh/Pavel to do liveaction for this ghosthunting BL, I'm glad that came to fruition haha
