Since we've been talking about location irl posts, I wanted to let you know that I'm also watching Vice Versa, but won't start my locationl irl posts for it until I'm done with ATOTS.

I thought it was hilarious because I knew exactly where the aeroplane location they used in today's episode was. Gotta prepping my location irl posts for VV soon. There are so many (and I love it lol)

Ooh! I would love to see the irl location posts for Vice Versa. One of the reasons I'm watching the show is their set/filming locations. They're so so beautiful. (And yes, I think there are so MANY of them, so take your time.) I'm still anticipating your ATOTS location posts, and I'm about to start rechecking your KP location posts to map them.

I really enjoyed your posts. It's really interesting to know where the wonderful shots in my favorite series were taken. I appreciate you taking the time to make the list!✨

Just realized Kamol’s living room is where Ken and Pete kicked the dogshit outta Mes 😂  

I know we’ve seen plenty exterior shots before, but they all flew over my head- it only dawned on me when I spotted the taxidermy beaver(?) on the coffee table, looooooooool

Visually speaking, there’s so much call back here: They are on the boat that Kinn asked Porsche to be his bodyguard and in the background, is Wat Arun, where Kinn and Porsche first kissed on the pier and then ended their first date.

Of course, there’s also the fact that Tankhun is excited to be going out with his brother and his brother’s friends, which is completely different from the Tankhun in episode 2, who chose to stay away from people and not leave his home.

In the background is the bridge that Kinn and Big were being pursued, in the first episode, which lead him to Hum Bar (Yok’s Bar) and of course, to Porsche.

Edit: This is the same place that Porsche jumped off the boat in episode one, after rejecting Kinn’s suggestion to be his bodyguard.

I made my laptop wallpaper a random deutsch bank building I think this is the funniest thing to be doing at 11:43 pm on a Tuesday

Where was KinnPorsche filmed?

This scene and the fighting before was filmed on the Banyan Tree Dinner Cruise Boat.

So many gorgeous locations in KP, more soon. 👀

MileApo’s new Movie.

Apparently, Mile and Apo will star in a new movie next year. They said a movie and not series. The trailer can only be shared after D2 of the concert so I’m just posting pictures for now. I wouldn’t call it a trailer more of a teaser.  I really don’t understand the point of waiting. The moment someone filmed it, it has already travelled worldwide, why didn’t they just present the teaser on day 2?  

In the trailer Apo seems to be a Khon performer dancing for someone.

The Khon Masked Dance Drama in Thailand is a performing art that combines musical, vocal, literary, dance, ritual and handicraft elements. Khon performances – which involve graceful dance movements, instrumental and vocal renditions and glittering costumes – depict the glory of Rama, the hero and incarnation of the god Vishnu.

And Mile plays the drum while Apo is dancing. I had trouble recognising Apo with the heavy make-up and probably white powder on his face. It’s historical, I’m definitely watching.

My first question is when the heck did, they have the time to prepare and film this? Do they sleep? It could explain the lack of MileApo content. I mean even if Apo isn’t doing all the dancing, he needs some training for the Khon. One doesn’t wake up one day and becomes a Khon performer. Every gesture, movement has to be done gracefully and a certain way. When did Apo practice? When did they scout locations? Why did they film that teaser? When did they pick the project? So many questions.

This type of project is a great decision, it’s far away from KP world and you can already sense the angst, drama and tragedy. I really hope the movie/series would have the same vibes as this beautiful Korean movie called The King and the Clown, if you haven’t watched it, do.

We will see, perhaps the movie won’t be a BL, but it would a waste not to use such chemistry.

Update: Trailer is HERE.

i keep seeing people on X say GarfieldBenz arent going to have much screentime since they havent been on set? :\ im kinda worried ngl. do you think it’s true?

I think it’s too early to be analyzing their screentime?

Don’t get me wrong, I wish every day to see them on set, but they’re shooting the restaurant scenes right now, and I don’t anticipate either of them will have very many scenes at the restaurant, since it’s not their workplace. These things are not shot in sequential order.

While I haven’t read the novel and don’t plan on reading it until after the show finishes (and don’t want to know the details of the novel yet), I would assume most of MethasJJ scenes will be at the clinic and Methas’ office, with only a handful of scenes outside of those places. And I don’t think it would make sense to have them be together at the restaurant a lot, if they’re trying to keep Methas hiring Plawan under wraps from Oab?

From a scheduling perspective—it’s a lot easier to film as many scenes as you can in one location while you have access to that venue, so you don’t have to break down and build up the set over and over again, you don’t have to deal with transport of costumes/props/etc. They may not get all the restaurant scenes done in one go, but expect that those scenes will be done in large blocks.

When they reserve a clinic for filming, expect that they will film MethasJJ scenes in a block, unless it’s filmed at an active clinic that they can’t reserve for multiple days in a row.

Also a caveat—I would anticipate that their scenes will be logistically easier to film since there would be fewer actors, so less hair/makeup, less staff means less catering, and they’re not doing something like cooking live on camera without doubles, which can be tricky and may require a lot of retakes.

So we may see filming for BenzGarfield scenes go by more quickly, unless they end up having to work around scheduling of the venue they use. Just in case ppl see them spending less days filming and jump to conclusions.

As far as how much screentime I anticipate for them—we only have one Change2561 BL to base this off of, so there’s not an established pattern yet, but if it’s at all similar to Pit Babe, then we could expect that they’ll be like AlanJeff, who didn’t even meet until ep 3 and only had one or two scenes in each ep, but whose story was greatly expanded from the original novel.

They ARE a side couple, so I’m not anticipating them having equal screentime as SailubPon scenes, but less screentime doesn’t mean less impact—VegasPete only really started getting scenes in the last few eps of KP for instance.

I’m a lifelong side couple shipper, so I’m used to this life, but I also don’t see the point in complaining about their screentime when it’s not like we have anything close to a finished product. Again, these things are not shot in scene order or episode order, so we literally have no way of knowing what their screentime is.

hiii 💻

hiiii back 💖

but yeah, I'm absolutely a researcher! I'm gonna split this up into two parts lol.

most intentional research deep dive: I wanted to map out the actual distance from Chay's house to Pathum Wan, which is where the Rosewood is, and Kim's presumed studio and apartment. I did know that yknow, the Kittisawat house would be in a good suburb somewhere, and it wasn't central so like I figured the drive time (in bkk) would be intense, but I wanted to know lol.

Did some googling of the kp filming locations and I found a reddit thread that linked back to houses/studios for hire. They found the Kittisawat house, and it's in Saphun Sung, which is about a 40 minute drive! I also got to take this drive myself when I first landed in bkk, as on my way to the hotel we passed the Saphun Sung suburb on the way to Siam!

most unintentional research deep dive: accidentally staying in Vegas's neighbourhood when I was in bkk lol. I didn't realize that the minor family house, the House on Sathorn was like a ten minute walk from me until a week before my flight. Me booking a hotel in that area was an accident! But, it was amazing to wander those streets, and it helped with my next few chapters haahah!

So, (as you know) I visited Vegas's house and I wandered the neighborhood!

[liyazaki]

for any fans curious about the Rosewood: it’s gorgeous but largely inaccessible. there were 6 or 7 confused employees who greeted us in the lobby thinking we were checking in & graciously let us walk around- the hotel seemed empty- but we didn’t see anything recognizable.

also Ms. Deustche is sadly not visible from the ground but her presence was felt all the same 🙏

[crazykuroneko]

Roxane was there for over a month which sounds about right for Madeleine's role given the total production time is 5 months (i'd expect her to be in like 2-3 episodes max). The Paris location shoots if they were going to happen sounded like they were gonna be in August according to KP but if she lives in Paris anyways then that's easy if they want her for a few scenes later.

I think KP dropped the biggest hint that they already filmed the trial cause he said a single scene took 6 days to shoot.. can't imagine that being anything else with all the theatre vamps involved.

Thank you for the info. That reminds me of two new-received scripts KP teased as being challenging as an actor asgshsjsl. Perhaps I'd die when S2 airs 🫠

Just a quick little THANK YOU for your KP reference work, it has been saving my ficwriting bacon, and I link to your posts all the time in the discord servers

A happy new year to you and thank you for your kind words! 😳

I started doing location posts to fulfill a growing curiosity of my own to find out where KP filming had taken place and I'm happy to hear that it's helped people in various ways, including fic writing!

I'm just going to hide in grateful embarrassment now

[meu-light]

...which basically confirmed that a huge portion of all the scenes we've been waiting for are going to air in the FINAL EP, I'm 110% sure they're going to end the show on a cliffhanger, announce season 2 in Impact Arena and I'll be left feeling empty for around a year (if not more)...

I mean, most BLs take about 3-4 months to film. If I'm not mistaken, KP started filming around November and finished in March and began airing in April.

I don't think finding the time to film is the problem, if anything, it's organizing the casts' schedules and the locations (if I'm not mistaken, one of the locations, the Main Family's headquarters, was closed to the public because of Covid and that's why they were able to film so much there and that could inevitably change since the world is slowing crawling out of the pause Covid put us in) that could present a challenge since this is totally out of the directors' control .

The good thing about this cast, is that none of the actors are super famous (with the exception of, like, Jeff who is in a different company than BOC and Perth, who's a fan favorite, but his character died) therefore its not like they have obligations or commitments with other promotional stuff, sponsors and such and therefore scheduling them and organizing all the actors so that they're all available simultaneously to film isn't too much of an issue.

Then the matter of personal time off and whether the actors and/or the directors themselves have any projects or whatever, or they want to take some personal time off/a Vacay instead of throwing themselves back into filming, which seems more likely, to be honest, than anything I mentioned above.

After all, they're humans and they also deserve some rest especially after such a successful series.

First of all, Hi~~

Yeah, usually thai shows take that much to film. They film in queues (usually from Q1 till Q20something and if things don't go as planned they add Qs, Cutie Pie finished at Q30something if I'm not mistaken). I remember that while the first EPs of KinnPorsche were airing, they were shooting/reshooting some scenes (not really sure if they were shooting or reshooting, because their schedule did get pushed back and they had to add a bunch of Qs).

I totally agree on you with the schedule thing, I myself manage a 13-member group and doing the schedule is a HUGE responsibility and it's hard af.

As for locations, I don't really know how permissions work in Thailand, but if it's similar to how it works here, issuing a single permission to shoot on a certain location can take up to a few months, and the cost can be insane, depending on the amount of Qs they want to do and how many crew members will be present.

Now, for personal time, half of our boys took around 2 weeks off recently, I'm suspecting that the rest of the boys will take some time off before Impact Arena (if they haven't done so already because they keep moving around so fast and it's hard to keep up). I think that's totally reasonable, the boys should rest, and tbh BOC is doing pretty well on those kinds of stuff, I can see the boys are travellering and taking time off, AS THEY SHOULD.

For Jeff and Perth, although they are not in BOC, up until now they've been treated with nothing but respect and that's what they deserve. Perth's had a pretty hectic schedule since last year, and he's also doing streams and YouTube, I hope he rests a bit before Impact Arena. Jeff's been releasing new music every few months, ffs human! REST!

With the mention of Impact Arena, let's bring in the KP World Tour, July 24th and 25th are just the beginning, tours of this kind can take MONTHS to complete and considering how much they've been preparing and the amount of sponsors they have (and who those sponsors are) I don't think they'll kick off the tour and finish it in one big trip. What I have in mind is that they'll go by continent, for example, start with one part of Asia, rest for a bit, and then go to the next one. Until the tour is complete, I don't think production will be given a green light, and if it does, it's not going to go straight to filming.

As far as I know the writers of the books are involved in the script writing process for the sequel. A possible casting may be needed because we're definitely going to need new actors for any new characters that may appear in the sequel of the show. Newcomers bring the need for acting classes and workshops, workshops can take up to 2 months to complete. Also we don't know if P'Khom, P'Pepsi and P'Pond would be down to directing the sequel or if any of the crew members would be able to come back, which means that they may need to work on that as well.

I'm not going to talk about the possibility of BOC looking for new investors and sponsors, just because a show is popular, it doesn't mean everything goes smoothly like butter (no pun intended).

So yeah, according to my calculations, if we do get a sequel or a season 2, however you guys want to call it, the shortest amount of time for it to be ready to air is a year. Why? Because I don't think that BOC would throw away their hard work by rushing with a 2nd season that is nowhere near the quality of the 1st one.

Is it going to hurt waiting? Sure! Do I believe it's totally going to be worth it? HELL YEAH!

Anyway, I hope they come to Europe for the tour, I really want to meet them~

Spread the love~ 💕

Hey, I don't know if you have watched the BTS clip of episode 7 but I was wondering why Build said that Bible punched him (6:40)? Like, they didn't even touch in that scene. Maybe we get to see an extension of that scene in another episode? Or did I miss something?

Hi!

I repeatedly watch the BTS clip for BibleBuild haha. I actually have no clue, why Build mentioned that, I was thinking maybe they shot a different scene previously that day or that week and he was mentioning that? Because he states he hasn't yet filmed any action scenes even though he wants to and this was his first, so I'm guessing he was probably talking about the previous filming sessions where it was probably focused on when Pete gets captured by Vegas (maybe even the cupboard scene 'and Pete what video did you like scene') because that's when Vegas has to be very harsh to Pete and violent? However it could be referring to new torture scenes in their arc we haven't yet unveiled since we know they're goanna be doing more of that and maybe it involves Vegas being more violent towards Pete in that sort of fashion (whips, punches, etc). I think that's what Bible meant saying well they told him to be more aggressive and told him to hit harder and then they laughed, probably talking about other scenes they had to film before that, since filming doesn't have to be in the order of the episodes but random according to location and schedules.

I don't think anything else happened in that scene where Vegas is meant to turn and punch Pete, like it's just him and his three John Does as Build states he just takes out his weapon and ensures success while Pete watches. So I don't think there'll be an extension even when we are in the next scene with Don, Vegas is with Porsche and Pete is in the truck so again don't think they were referring to those scenes. Maybe I'm wrong who knows. I think they were just having inside jokes about their past scenes because it's probably just been their painful scenes instead of action. Haha.

Thanks anon! Are we getting part 2 of that BTS, seems like we're meant to since it says Part 1 but they haven't yet released it and I was thinking they would today maybe tommorow, I'm guessing it's KP BTS scenes since that part 1 was heavily VP :)
