#pondphuwin neolouis

[theflagscene]

Phuwin posted a cryptic picture of the house that his character from Fish Upon The Sky lived in, which makes me think that we might be right about Our Skyy 3 happening. Could we be getting to see the return of PondPhuwin’s very first characters together, Mork and Pi? The cutie pie doctor and dentist all grown up and happy together? If they do, I hope that their brothers Duean and Meen are there as well, yes, just because I will forever be a NeoLouis fan and I will die on that damn hill 😝

[chicademartinica]

Some episodes ( Never let me go, The eclipse and ATOTS by Jojo, Golf and Aof respectively) of Our skyy 2 were really interesting to me because the actors, the directors and the writing teams really seemed like they were free creatively. Well a bit more than in the original projects. By saying goodbye to their characters things went EXTREMELY META.

PondPhuwin helped writing the Palmnueng letters themselves and the show reflected on the toxic gender roles/ classism in the classic lakorns NLMG was inspired by. Like we love you forefathers but you were kinda trash.

The eclipse was the queer meta fest it always was AND a love letter to cinema. (Brokeback mountain fam ??!!)

Earthmix and Aof doing a lil catharsis from the Moonlight Chicken shoot/divorce era in Our skyy x Lemonade.

just. pond and phuwin. and neo and louis.

BL- BOYS' LOVE:

Series: FISH UPON THE SKY & NEVER LET ME GO

PONDPHUWIN were almost NOT A THING. Word is this ship was set sail by director of FUTS.

Apparently NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM [Nickname: POND] & TRAI NIMTAWAT [Nickname: NEO] were all set to play their roles of Sutthaya (Mork) and Dollawee (Duean)

However probably to continue with their chemistry from CAUSE YOU'RE MY BOY, PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN was cast as Mork's brother Meen and THANAWIN TEERAPHOSUKARN [Nickname: LOUIS] was cast as Pi.

However the director didn't like the chemistry so PHUWIN audition with POND and it was a hit. So LOUIS & PHUWIN switch roles with PHUWIN taking on the lead role of Pi and Louis taking the role of Meen.

LOUIS & NEO went on their next BL together (THE ECLIPSE)

And POND & PHUWIN are currently doing their second BL Together (NEVER LET ME GO)

[pondphuwin]

[gunsatthaphan]

I saw the tags and jumped the opportunity to share faves! 👀

Here's my top 10 gmmtv pairs! (according to my present feelings, this changes on a monthly basis)

1. GawinFirst as DanYok

2. EarthMix as KornWin

3. PodGawin as MorkSun

4. GeminiFourth as TinnGun

5. OffGun as SeanWhite

6. OhmNanon as PatPran

7. FirstKhao as AkkAyan

8. NeoLouis as KanThua

9. PondPhuwin as PalmNueng

10. ForceBook as AkkTheo

As I was doing it I felt like I wasn't doing justice to some of the couples. But oh well, c'est la vie. I probably will have changed my mind by ne t month. I hope you find it interesting ♥️

yeeesss!!!!!!

a very honorable top 10 🥰 also yes, top 10s change on a monthly basis for me too lmao. also since my top 10 actor pairings differs from my top 10 character pairings and anon didn't clarify lol 🙈 which is why I was thinking about adding ForceBook because I like them as a pair but I didn't see Enchante so idk. But anyway I approve of your list 👍🏻 lol.

thank you for sending it in!!! 💜 have a wonderful day 🥺

xxx

[petrichoraline]

pls you need to watch it even tho is cringe BUT IT's SO FUNNY

i dropped it on ep.1 a few months back 😭 okay i think im gonna give it a chance once nlmg is done airing, experience earlier pondphuwin firsthand 😂 neolouis and mix are also a pretty good reason to try again

[projectjasper]

(via @ddreamzee)

initially, when fish upon the sky was in the works, winny was supposed to play pi opposite pond's character mork. meanwhile, phuwin was supposed to be playing meen opposite neo trai's duean (as gmmtv was thinking of setting them up as a couple after the series "cause you're my boy", where they also starred together).

now, according to phuwin and pond, the chemistry between pond and winny wasn't really chemistrying, and then phuwin stepped in and was like "hey :) what if i try :)". and their chemistry ended up being so good that gmmtv literally reshuffled the whole cast to make pondphuwin a thing.

so phuwin singlehandedly changed the tragectory of half of gmmtv's ecosystem by giving us pondphuwin, removing the possibility of neophuwin and instead introducing neolouis, and - though winny was unfortunately demoted down to a simply secondary role back in futs - indirectly also made winnysatang a thing (and likely saved my school president as a series, where we were initially meant to have a tinn-gun-sound love triangle instead of tinngun and soundwin).

Every time Pond and Winny have a scene together in this show, I get reminded that they were originally supposed be a pairing.

~ Thai BL Favorites List ~

I was tagged by the bestie 💜 @gunsatthaphan

Favorite Thai BL: This is a very difficult question 🙃 I will tell you my top right now A Tale of A Thousand Stars, Be My Favorite(is coming for my beloved show) and Cutiepie

Favorite Pairing: Earthmix, OffGun, JimmySea, Forcebook, PondPhuwin, Zeenunew

Most underrated actor: I am going to say Gawin Caskey. He finally got his main role and he is crushing it!!

Favorite Character: This is such a difficult question as well 😬 I am going to throw a curveball and say Fah from Sky in Your Heart. I just identified with him so much.

Favorite Side Character: I am going to go with Longtae in 1000 Stars because well Khaotung.

Favorite scene in a BL:

There are two scenes I have watched the most and they are the following: end of Fish Upon the Sky with NeoLouis and PondPhuwin I have never laughed so hard in my life and the end of 1000 Stars where Tian makes Phupha act cute to get on the bed and then the house is shaking as Yod walks by.

If we are going to be cute then I would say Sound and Win talking after Sound plays the song for him on their trip. I just love WinnySatang

Favorite line in a BL: I don’t know if I can find a favorite line hmmm Wait!! I know. You’re so Sodium Radium Potassium 😍

Most Anticipated BL (& why): Only Friends because of the cast and the story. It just looks like it’s going to be so good. Also excited for Dangerous Romance and Cooking Crush because PerthChimon intrigue me. Also OffGun 🤷🏻‍♀️ Omggggg I almost forgot my beloved Last Twilight. Shame on me 😩

Healthiest relationship in a BL: I am going to go with GunCher in A Boss and A Babe. They communicated all the time and it just felt so healthy.

Most toxic relationship in a BL: The ones that comes to mind immediately are TharnType and NoKengla.

Guilty pleasure series: I have to go with Sotus because that was my first BL and it brought me into this world. I loved Kongpob Arthit so much. Also Secret Crush on You because it was such crack 😂😂

This was so difficult. I don’t know if anyone wants to do it. Go ahead. I won’t tag you lol.

[talkingbl]

The Good and Bad of Fish Upon The Sky (FUTS)

SPOILER WARNING.

The Good:

At no point did this show take itself too seriously. The beauty of a romcom like FUTS is in its simplicity and its ability to deliver a wholesome message without becoming preachy. But more than that, FUTS knew what it was and never sacrificed its voice through over-sentimentality. This simple feat was a combination of two other "Goods" of the show: acting and style

While the acting in FUTS is far from the best practiced or most believable (outside of Neo), it serves a very unique purpose in this otherwise mundane story. Each actor has their own charm. From Phuwin and Neo's often overdramatic acting, to Pond's decidedly monotone approach, each actor makes their character distinct. Because of the way the characters are played, the story not only feels quite different from what many consider its spiritual twin, 2gether, but it also allows the narrative structure and editing of the story to flow unobtrusively. Even in scenes where, for example, Neo is talking to an omniscient narrator and explicitly breaking the fourth wall, viewers never feel pulled out of the story. A large part of this is because Neo, in many ways, embodied the ridiculousness of Duean and played to the editor. Put another way, he played to the outrageous, anything-goes style of the dialogue, plots, and editing, which has the effect of making the character more believable in such a ridiculous alternate universe than, say, if he were to play Duean more realistically

The style/editing and how they complement the narrative. The style of FUTS is, for lack of a better word, chaotic. From the narrative to the direction to the editing, this show has a very whacky vibe to it. One example of how each of these elements came together to produce one of the most memorable scenes in a Thai romcom BL to date, is when we are first introduced to Duean's crew in Episode 2. With the introduction of each character, we get a brief clip of their role within the group--some of the intros flat out contain references to other pieces of popular media. For example, Jeans' character auditions for the role of 2gether's Salawat, while Yok is basically Psy. At the end of the introductions, we get a JoJo reference when the guys pose dramatically in front of Pi and the moment is cartoonized in the style of JJBA. Later in the episode, while Duean is looking at his newly posted grades and sees he got 4 Fs, the narrator makes note of it, then there's a very brief cut scene to the GMM's F4 trailer lol. Another fun thing is the breaking up of the show into basically 2 parts: Mork & Pi's storyline, and the Story of the 5th Year Student. By breaking up these two storylines (rather than integrating them) by completely changing the aspect ratio, the color grading, and other visual cues, FUTS accomplishes 2 things: 1) it adds a uniqueness to the overall style of the production, and 2) it makes the ending land. Without this separation, the ending would make very little sense and the drama of it wouldn't hold as much weight. We'd constantly be asking ourselves "why are Duean and Mork fighting about Meen when they should've run into each other at some point?" With this narrative device, it shows us that the story world is quite big, and Mork and Meen, unlike Duean and Pi, live very separate lives, so the likelihood of each of them all crossing paths is very slim. This is why the reveal of Mork as Meen's brother doesn't completely miss the mark. In any other show, all of these elements might be distracting, but FUTS pulls it off with its over-the-top slapstick humor, acting, and narrative

The strange chemistry between Mork and Pi. Something about Mork's boldness and Pi's reluctant acceptance is quite compelling. I attribute a lot of it to Pond following in the footsteps of actors like Bright and Podd when they look at Win and Khaotung in 2gether and Tonhon Chonlatee. He has a way of looking so incredibly into Phuwin, like he wants to devour him, that it almost makes you forget his acting struggles elsewhere. Phuwin on the other hand, while still developing as an actor, plays Pi's insecurities relatively well. One way that this shows in when he looks at Mork as if he holds Mork in higher esteem than himself. This, oddly, manifests as romantic tension more often than not. I suspect the reason why is because often, when people hold other people in a regard higher than themselves, it's usually out of a love-based admiration (be it romantic love, friendly love, etc.)

The well-done tropes. This show is basically Tropes: The Series, but combined with the style of the show and some of the messages it sends, it gives a really exciting feeling to those tropes. One example I can think of is when Mork and Pi finally get together and decide to hide their relationship. The way they go about hiding in plain sight (such as the scene where they're having lunch together and sitting back-to-back seeming as if they're talking to themselves and not each other, or the scene where they trade snacks in the library) is honestly a highlight of the show for me

The amount of physical intimacy and where it occurs in the story. Notice I emphasized amount. The quality of the intimacy is a whole other point but the fact that we do get to see so much (especially well before episode 12) adds a layer of naturalness to the story

MorkPi's relationship-development moments and skinship were quite heavy in FUTS for it to be GMMTV production. Some that stand out are the Episode 6/7 late-night adventure scenes, pretty much all of Episode 10 where Mork is trapped in Pi's house, and Episode 2 when they go to the corpse lab to make a wish

The moral of the story. At the end of the day shipping culture can be toxic, you should NEVER pressure someone into doing things, and insecurities can't be fixed with a makeover/in only one day. Those are some damn good and well-established morals of FUTS that I can really appreciate

The fact that Pi had such a realistic character arc is simply amazing. I've never seen a character with such a relatable issue as insecurity and low self-esteem as Pi. And the fact that it impacts his relationships is very real. Moreover, the way it rears its ugly head is also very realistic and the way it doesn't just go away with a kiss from the most attractive guy in the world makes it all the more special as a character issue. Other BLs would've washed all of Pi's insecurities away but FUTS shows just how agonizing it can be to live with low self esteem and (likely) social anxiety

The OST for this show is a cut above. There are some songs I could've done without but the main theme is so good that you deal with some of the more generic cuts. Louis Thanawin is one of the better singers in Thai BL and the theme has a very smooth and catchy refrain that plays at all the right moments

The Bad:

The toilet humor. It wasn't funny when I was 10 and it still isn't funny now

Pond's stiff ass acting. I am an enjoyer of Pond's visual, but when he's not staring into Phuwin's eyes or damn near just playing himself, he's leaving a lot to be desired. I know Pangponds will @ me with all types of excuses but Pond isn't the first rookie actor in a lead role nor is he the first 19/20 year-old in a lead role. 15-year-old Ohm Pawat knocked it out of the ballpark in Make It Right, Pond just needs an acting coach--he clearly has potential (as evidenced by his argument/fight scenes with Neo)

The tragic mishandling of Bam. What the actual fuck was that? I thought ATOTS/1000stars had the dumbest 3rd Act of 2021, but turning Bam into a villain in the literal final minutes of the story 100% tops that. Hell, at least the village turning on Tian had been looming over the story since episode 1. This plot didn't even get any development. Not only did they give her a dumbass plot for irrelevant drama that was fixed in mere moments and had minimal impact on the story, they also played right into the 'evil girl is evil because she likes Top-coded character' trope. This is the second show that has misused Ms. Janhae and it's just getting weird at this point

The "character is ugly because they wear glasses and have braces" trope is annoying and will never make sense. Also, the fact that in the early episodes, Mork basically tells Pi that he likes him DESPITE the fact that he apparently has 11,000 flaws (including his braces/glasses-wearing) is mind-numbingly stupid and does absolutely nothing to help Pi's sense of self

Mork is lowkey creepy lmao. Let's be real most people excused Mork's creepiness because of the actor who played him. Not only does Pond seem like a sweet person but he might be the most handsome man on the planet. The fact that Mork was sneaking pictures of folks (a Thai BL staple lmao), finding out where Pi lives, and repeatedly showing up at Pi's house unprovoked is so strange when you really think about it. Add some ominous music to those scenes and suddenly you're no longer watching a romcom but a psychological thriller

A lot of people seemed to have issues with this show but I enjoyed almost every moment. It's the first BL I watched as it aired and I'm glad I did

[summi171]

My lil prediction for gmmtv 2023?? 👀

• JoongDunk New Series with NeoLouis as side pairing (this is not a prediction at all at this point but would really happen.)

• TayNew comeback series (likely to happen)

• Gun with another pairing (according to his IGs), rumors circling around saying it’s with Tor 🤔 but let’s wait and see.

• PerthChimon pairing (definitely)

• JimmySea another series directed by P’Aof 😱

• AouBoom pairing but not sure they will get main roles or as side pairings?? 🤔

• GL series or more gl pairings as side cps (Gmm recently bought a copyright of gl novel so) MilkLove series coming ?? 👀

• Big stars from another agency like Nune, PunPun, other senior actors joining Gmm this year so more intense series with great plots coming

• Nonkul joining this yr soo he’ll have a bl pair with someone from gmm or maybe another series like 46days ??

• Win’s new series with Baifern (this’s a definite) and another one with Prim??

• Tu not joining this yr but seems like Dew will have his own main series? 🤔

• Krist, Lee, Joss, Luke main roles series as usual.

• Bright will have a Thai-Indian movie with Bella and Indian stars but seems like it’ll be under another production team as we don’t find Bella in line-up list 🤔 and another series of him will be there for sure.

Addition : P’Nuchy will have a project working together with Jittirain 😱 and Hollywood director 😳 but not sure that project is under Gmm or not 😩

My desires : more gl series, BrightWin Comeback 😭FirstKhaothung, ForceBook, I still want PondPhuwin and EarthMix series but it’s a lil less likely to happen as even their series last yr aren’t on air yet ☹️

[theflagscene]

BL ~ Drama Asks

I wasn’t tagged, I make my own fun ;P

( Totally nabbed from @absolutebl )

1) If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?

My first instinct is to say one of the series I’ve watched a dozen times already, but they’re all pretty dramatic and emotional and I don’t know if I wanna live through that forever lol. So I’m gonna go with Cherry Blossom After Winter, I really adore this fluffy BL. It’s seriously my comfort series, it too sweet and I could easily watch it forever.

2) If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?

Anyone who doesn’t answer HIStory3: Make Our Days Count has either never seen it or has no heart, seriously, that is the top of the list of BL endings that needs to be changed! 😭 Kissable Lips is one I would change the ending of as well, still a better love story than Twilight tho.

3) Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.

I have two favourite BLs that take number one on my list, Until We Meet Again and Not Me. My favourite characters in UWMA are Dean, Korn and Win. My favourite characters in Not Me are White, Black, Sean, Yok and Gumpa. Yeah, there’s no such thing as one favourite character in my world lol.

4) Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!

Check Out, I really really tried to like it but the characters were all just terrible people. Like I get that cheating happens, but when that’s the entire show, it gets a little dull.

5) Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?

SOTUS… I know, I know! This is like the BL that launched Thai BLs into the international market. And to be fair to Singto, he is one hell of an actor, he just has amazing chemistry with whoever he works with. But I’ve heard/read some pretty not good things about Krist concerning homophobic things done during filming, and that kinda soured the show for me. I’m queer and have no issue with actors playing gay for pay, obviously. But when an actor is gay for pay but rude about it, then I have issues. I grew up doing theatre, working both in front of and behind the scenes, I’ve been trained as an actor and I know nothing makes a working environment hell like an acting partner that just does not wanna be there, it makes you have to work twice as hard. Which is why I think Singto’s acting stands out so damn much next to Krist, because he was working his ass off to sell that onscreen romance. Also LBC2: A Chance To Love, again, much like Krist, Mean has had some pretty damming rumours and stories come out about him being homophobic. Also I just really dislike TinCan as a couple lol.

6) Name a drama you regret watching.

TharnType, what even was the god damned mess!? And why in gods name did I watch TharnType 2!? Can we stop MAME from writing gay stories until she’s actually met gay people? Because from the storylines I’m thinking she’s never actually spoken to a gay man in her life 🙄

7) Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?

Fish Upon The Sky, it looked seriously stupid but I actually ended up liking MorkPi and DueanMeen as well as their actors, I’m actually looking forward to seeing PondPhuwin pair up again in Never Let Me Go and NeoLouis in The Eclipse.

8) Name a pairing you want to see?

I’ve mentioned before in passing about wanting to see Gun pair up with either Mond or Sing, so I’ll pick differently this time. I’d really like to see Saint work with First, I know First is already kinda branded with Toru, what with them being in War of Y together after their episodes of Y Destiny. But I think if Saint wants to stop being cast as the cute lil uke he needs to be paired with someone slighter than him but equally as pretty, which is where First comes in. I’d love to see Saint as a cold tsundere type, softened by a sweet lil character played by First. Plus I think they would both go pretty ham when it came to any romantic scenes, possibly farther than Saint went with Zee.

9) Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?

TinCan, I’ve mentioned them before and I swear it’s not just because I’m not a fan of Mean’s work lol. Seriously, I never found TinCan to have much chemistry at all. Also, I know BrightWin are some of GMMtv’s golden boys buuuutttt SarawatTine were lukewarm at best 🤷

10) Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?

I really liked Na and Ja as a pairing in UWMA, Sorn and Sin were the only couple that didn’t have any awkwardness in their physicality, they existed within each other’s space, orbited around one another as a real couple would. So often in BLs I find couples have trouble with their physicality, both platonic and romantic touching as well as simply inhabiting another’s personal space. You can almost see them acting and that’s one thing you do not want your audience to be able to do, if an audience can feel/see that you’re acting then you’re doing your job wrong. Wise words from a director I once had, harsh words but wise lol. I would love to see them work together again but now that JaFirst have branded together since Don’t Say No, I doubt highly we’ll ever see NaJa work together again, at least not as a couple.

[absolutebl]

HAPPY 2022!

Here’s My 10 Most Anticipated 2022 Thai BLs 

Between Us - delayed from 2020, adaptation of spin off novel (Hemp Rope; source The Red Thread --> Until We Meet Again), from Studio Wabi Sabi featuring one of their most popular (and commercially viable) pairs, this has plenty of funding and distribution (WeTV) with established (if inconsistent) BL director New (who did UWMA). Hemp Rope tells WinTeam’s romance from the start, so we might get some recon reboot action (like LBC2). I expect this to be slightly higher heat than what we get from GMMTV. 

Enchanté - delayed from 2021. Secret admirer romance with a touch of Cyrano de Bergerac and dose of Boys Over Flowers from GMMTV. Completed filming and will air in first quarter 2022, stars Book (Friend Forever) opposite new face, with side dishes Fluke Gawin (Mork in Dark Blue Kiss) and Fluke Pusit (Way in The Shipper). Theo returns from France and starts a written flirtation inside a library book (!) at his new uni with the mysterious Enchante. His best friend Ak hunts for Enchante’s real identity, and 4 senior boys step forward - all intersted in dating Theo. Ak might also be in the running. New framework for Thai BL (although not for yaoi) and I’m intrigued. 

Dear Doctor - adapted from a y-novel by HUNGRYBIRD Dear Doctor, I'm Coming For Soul. Wabi Sabi picked up this defunked project and is apparently bringing it back for iQIYI starring Grey Rainbow couple Nut & Karn who are great together and certainly mature and capable leads. A romance between a doctor trying to save his patients and the Grim Reaper, who is both his enemy and lover. It looks like there is also a side couple at the hospital. The gay Doom at Your Service? I LOVE THIS PREMISE!!! 

Vise Versa - GMMTV’s adaptation of a JittiRain y-novel (2gether author), alt reality, bodyswap, soulmates AKA fated mates. Stars Jimmy (Wai from Bad Buddy) + a fresh face. Looks very good, a timeslip alt reality sort of thing. I’m super pleased to see Jimmy get a lead. Also I think one of the characters might be butch (intentionally or not). Which would be a first for GMMTV. 

KinnPorsche - delayed from 2021, book adaptation, mafia/bodyguard romance, lots of production issues (which is why it’s not higher on this list). The titular characters are played by actors new to BL - intentionally; sides include Jeff (of Ingredients) , Tong (TharnType & Second Chance), and Perth (My Engineer). It’s a BIG cast. Mafia kid, Kinn, is assaulted and flees into the arms of student Porsche. Porsche helps Kinn escape and Kinn blackmails him into becoming his bodyguard. Likely to be higher heat. 

The Eclipse - GMMTV bringing us tons of tropes: sinister boarding school, haze the one you love, good boy/bad boy, suspense & horror elements, self acceptance themes, a curse, AND enemies to lovers. Stars First from The Shipper and Khaotung from Tonhon Chonlatee, side dish pairing from FUTS NeoLouis, and Pawin from My Gear and Your Gown. To me this looks like Blacklist meets Great Men Academy but doomy. I really like this pairing and I think they can handle the content. 

Cutie Pie - arranged marriage, age gap, secret identity, cohabitation, rich kid problems, plus he’s in engineering. Stars Zee (Why R U?) as the seme and the uke actor is unknown but looks good, also has MaxNat (Why R U? & Y-Destiny & Close Friend). The sons of two companies are engaged to each other. One doesn’t want an arranged marriage while the other wants to win him over. I happen to adore an arranged marriage trope and I’ve yet to see it in gay romance let alone BL, so I’m intrigued. 

Never Let Me Go - mafia, attack dog (whipping boy + bodyguard), love triangle, obsession, suspense from GMMTV with Jojo of 3 Will Be Free directing, so we know the action parts should be good. I think this is GMMTV’s answer to KinnPorsche but it looks a lot more like Golden Blood. Either way I love a bodyguard romance and PondPhuwin (leads in Fish Upon the Sky) are a good pair I’d like to see get a better series. Also has Aun (Folk from My Gear) and Chimon (My Dear Loser). Feels a little classic yaoi with almost Japanese elements and I’m delighted by the cast. 

Coffee Melody - Cafe set BL starring Pavel (my love) as a barista (2moons2) and Benz as a singer (Call it What You Want) and they look good together but I am worried about the support cast and the plot. Still, it’s Pavel! 

My Only 12% - Studio Wabi Sabi’s y-novel adaptation (author Afterday who also wrote the novel behind Bad Buddy) starring SantaEarth (7 Project) The plot looks a little dull and sad which is why this is at the bottom of this list, but I ADORE Santa & Earth’s chemistry on screen and Wabi Sabi has knocked worse than this out of the park, so fingers crossed 

I don’t necessarily think these are going to be the ones I like the most but these are the ones, from Thailand, that I think are going to be the most interesting (or are staring some of my favorite actors, and I’m just happy to see them back). 

Which ones are you most excited about?
